Hempy Headquarters

[DrDoob]

I’ve been helping a buddy start out. I got him all set up with my old tent and lights. He grew two of my Unknown OG (f2) plants from seed and just chopped them this morning. Even though he hasn’t ever heard the word “hempy” he thinks it’s the best growing system ever. He used nothing but MegaCrop 1.0 at 1tsp/gal and Calmag at 2tsp/gal. He was very skeptical at first, wouldn’t believe that plants grow in nothing but perlite (until he saw mine).

I feel like the proud teacher on graduation day.

How big of a bag for 37$? I just found myself a Perlite producer down the street. 113L for 30$

Pretty good so it's about the going rate.

 

[Mastrmasn]

Where did you pick it up? You in the US?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Yes..local hydro shop...they ROCK, always competitive or cheaper than online

The Flora Micro and bloom, in gal was $6 cheaper than Amazon

Good peeps

That’s the same as the one on Amazon for $55. I found the #8 stuff for $27 online but shipping more than doubles the cost. Still it’s cheaper than $90 on Amazon. I’m going to wait and see how reusable it really is before I get more. I’ve still got about 3cu of the small stuff too.

You're a lucky guy. Everything at my shop is way more expensive then online. To the point where one guy there tells me all the time "dude save your money, get it on Amazon!"
I'm surprised he's still employed lol.

Have a quick question. Do any of you start seeds in perlite? Ran out of Jiffys and I'm too lazy to get more. I do have some Burpee starting mix I could put in the top of the perlite, I believe it is coir based.
Thank you Hempy friends.

I'm starting some today

Taps in paper towels, prepping Perlite and water now

I rinse my perlite in pHed water. Do you do anything else to your perlite to prep it? I think I saw someone using weak bloom nutes or something to that effect.

Do you cover the bucket/cup with plastic while it is germinating?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I started using bloom with my test Coco a week ago, so doing that today in Hempy too, and a couple of Coco babies also, little test run

1/4 strength nutes.
I use a clear solo as a done on mine yes

 

[DrDoob]

I germ in straight perlite, no paper towels (never understood that one). I put plastic wrap on top to keep it moist. Besure to remove the plastic wrap when they sprout. I use no nutes until a few days after they sprout.

I'll be using Mega Crop later. I do still have some Fox farms or I also have the Greenleaf Nutrients Bud Explosion.

I wonder how long Fox Farms is shelf stable? I've had it just over a year and I don't recall seeing an expiration date.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Year yes ...4 probably not...lol
