Definitely looks like a blocked hole there tead ... just take a screwdriver and poke around about .5" in and I've never had a problem lol ... and it generally stays clog free !

I decided to chop all the hempies and a 1 gal soil grow. Flowered under a Mars Hydro Mars II 900 running only the bloom spectrum. The primary nutrient was Osmocote +. Because of taller girls in the tent, those harvested were under the light but not near the light. These were truly taken early as blossoms were underdeveloped and whispy, the S1 seed began developing nanners and I was tiring or the whole corner of my tent. They were not very sticky. We shall see.

My barn also includes 5 colas from the soil girl. I uploaded the wrong picture. I'm pretty stoned. I'll look at the roots this afternoon and I'll try to assess what's up with this mess?
Probably won't be dreaming of doing another hempy run. I have organic stuff to try out and a fourth run of soil in my tubs. I'll likely go back to 5 gal softies too.

What's your CalMag levels these days Jones? She's way too yellow. I wouldn't know how to adjust the nutrient levels, but if mine had that same color I'd be increasing the CalMag. Tead and I both use close to 10 ml per gallon. If she doesn't improve I'd consider taking the best clone cutting you can and run that one too as soon as it takes root. You won't get anywhere near what you could out if this one. It's a touchy strain, not yet stabilized, so he alert for nanners when you get into flower.
Mine have been small but potent yielders. Just so you know that heading forward. It's potent enough I don't want to lose my genetic line, but I know this isn't the pheno I was looking for. TheRedDragon had that one, but he didn't clone it.

I keep a handy nail nearby. Took me long enough to get in the habit of that.
I had a spot of fortune at the local dollar store. Their Halloween accessories were bumped down 90% and I picked up 6 new pots for 10 cents apiece.
They're a heavy-duty plastic that light doesn't penetrate.
A little bit larger than the vinegar bottles they're meant to replace. The vinegar bottles have a slight bulge at the base that's forced me to cut plants free in the past. These buckets have straight sides that'll slip plants right out for upcanning.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I may now have all the pots I need for the hempy part of my garden.
Wow great find on the pots sue! I went to grab my favorite 3 gallon container for under 2 dollars today but they sold out. Ended up settling for a home depot 5 gal. Lilly is going in there today so we can flip here on the new moon. Not sure how docs hi brix will do with coco and perlite, but we're about to find out!
10 ml a gallon? I use 5. And just bumped to 6. Guess I better keep an eye out. So far no cal mag issues since the first week or 2.
Hope everyone's having a great week!!!! here's a quick peek at Gloria. My big hempy MAMA

For the record... Tead does 10ml/gal across the board.

Ok thanx i appreciate it also i think this one might have started to flower i figured if she wud have auto flower in that seed it wud have showed up b4 a month old u wud think? N ok i mite jus take my other clone i have in my cloner bucket and do her instead in my hempy grow and im doing 5ml cal-mag per gallon the back k of the bottle said up to 5ml per gallon so I went with that but yea i will be upping it now with my next feed. ill post some pics of my hempy girl that I think is starting to flower on me

Wait no they r 2 months old not 1 month but yea now i cant remember if I fimmed her or not so it cud look that way cuz the leaves are curling and she has nute burn all my other girls loved it wen I increased the remo nutes to 1/2 but not her she has browning/burn going on

If she's two months old and she's blooming, that one is likely an auto pheno. You should get purple.
The flip side is you won't be able to clone. Autos don't clone. My CaliMagic bottle says 1 tsp per gallon. I've used two per gallon since I had issues and Tead suggested I double. The plants thrive. Look at Tead's garden. He uses 10 ml per gallon. His plants love him for it. Be bold Jones, and increase the CalMag to 10 ml a gallon. If you want to experiment, start cutting back from there until they tell you "that's too far!"
7 gallons is the SOIL pots
the 12" x6" cylinder holds 1.4 gallons
The green buckets for everyone else hold 3 gallons each and are a little over 8" deep.
In my green buckets, at only 8" deep, a fan running constantly across the surface of the perlite evaporates 60-80% of the reservoir in 3 days - without the fan most girls use less than 30% of the reservoir in 3 days.
The reservoir in the 12x6" cyclinder is mostly consumed in 3 days, presumably because a 2x6" reservoir is 1/3 the volume of a 2x10" reservoir.
This hole had a strong stream, what you are seeing is the low pressure stream after I set down the bucket, position the phone camera and wait for phone to take the picture.
My watering procedure is to:
A) partially drain the reservoir out the drain hole by tipping the plant at 45 degree angle
B) set plant in plant stand with drain hole above waste water bucket
C) fill plant bucket 1-2" above the hole
D) let it drain (poking the tip of my moisture meter in the hempy hole if I don't get a strong stream.)
Continue to the next plant
. . . partially drain the next plant reservoir by tipping at a 45 degree angle.
. . . replace the first plant in the plant stand with the next plant

here is my d.c from seed popped above on 9-3-17 and i cant tell if this is from the fimming i did or if she is starting to flower idk but here she is
the reason i didnt want to up it is cuz of the burn i was seeing i didnt no if it was from increasing the nutes to half way or from the bump in cal-mag or what but yea she is doing to hot all the other hempy girls are loving the xtra nutes and everything else
here is my soil d.c i had a question about would it look different then one done in hempy i know mine in hempy is looking awful
but i was just wondering if a normal one would look different then one done in soil?
from seed
and this one is a clone

I'm diggin your routine.
Funny. My little corner of the world is so unique.... I shouldn't ever offer advice to folks outside the swamp. It really does impact every aspect of my world.
I run some larger red pots too... tho mostly the 6L PVC tubes. I never have enough water in the bottom after 3 days to get a drop out. Perhaps there's some down there, but I'd have to tip the pot down to 90 degrees to get any out. This is true for both containers. Of course, I'm moving tons of air around 24/7 just the keep the mold at bay, so even tho my humidity is high, both the plants and medium get a good bit of evaporation.
For the record, the bit that triggered my hole blocking words was more the direction of the flow, not the amount of the flow. When a bit of perlite is blocking things some, the flow often gets redirected to something other than a smooth, direct flow. It looks in your photo to be shooting off to the side some. Of course, if your hole is less than perfectly round, you can get that effect as well.
If she's two months old and she's blooming, that one is likely an auto pheno. You should get purple.

Folks transitioning to Hempy grows face some issues. Many face the exact same issues.
Of course, feeding regimes are a very common issue especially with the soil growers making the move.
One thing to keep in mind... you're working with a completely neutral medium. Every bit of all the pieces needs to be provided. You get no bonus action at all from the medium. Folks sometimes don't let that fully sink in.
BJ, you girl looks exactly like some of mine when my CalMag levels were low. When you see it form along the main leaf viens, you know it's getting extreme. Bump them up to 10ml... maybe 12ish if she's a CalMag luvin girl. Different girls can have very different needs in this department. Use you eyes to read the new growth. The old damaged growth will never recover and you'll end up clipping most of it over time.
CalMag issues has been my Biggest Challenge, well and Nute Burn with Osmo+
Good call on the dbl dossing the CalMag, Ill keep that in Mind. I started Sensi PH Perfect last feed so hope this helps some of the issues Ive been seeing

Do you have a photo of nute burn with osmo+?
I'd like to see what that looks like.
Coming from the warm cuddlies of living soil, I chose osmo+ to minimize what I would have to learn about deficiencies and nute burn. We'll see if I chose right
I think the Osmo needs to be dispersed evenlyDo you have a photo of nute burn with osmo+?

I did it in layers, so hot spots
But I have a few, kilamanjaro and my own Skunk Candy, that are fantastic, so I know some Strains fo better with it

Did a 24 hour dark period and now they're on the first day of 12/12. I am using my small tent at the moment and i see height problems in my future. I moved my dwarf star as far up as i could but if i get any kind of big stretch i will be breaking some necks. Anyone know what kind of stretch to expect with GSC?

The GSC strain I grew from clones had moderate stretch. Starting at 18" she would end up in the 35-40" range. Thick branches. Very well behaved.
p.s. That was in living soil, not hempy.

All in all, I really feel that better results can be had with a liquid routine, but the lazy gardener falls on the side of Osmo+ for obvious reasons.
I've tried variations in osmo placement, but I don't feel it makes much difference.
I've overfed some before. They end up really lanky and with many traditional signs of burning, tho not as severe as a good liquid nute burn can appear.
For the record, my current Osmo+ rate is ~3.33g per liter.
Mom always called me her little waterhead and I reckon that's why DWC works so well for me. 
Hempy... HA ! Not so much. My own fault. I tried to grow a DDA from seed, in a 7 gallon waste basket. Today is Day 28 and she hasn't had a drop of water since the Rapid Rooter was buried. 
Yep, I'm going to stick to my buckets.
