SweetSue's Hempy Haven: Powered By Timber

See? Already sounds like a 2 or 3-part mix!

Actually, if you're having to water your hempy's every day, they're likely rootbound or you have your drainage hole(s) too low. You should be able to water every other day considering the res on the hempy.

I think he does this because he's happier with it and doesn't trust hempy yet. When I did my first plant I watered every day too. By the third or fourth I was more trusting. Now I sometimes forget and go into a third day. These resilient plants are growing in a medium that's more versatile than it appears.

Here is one of my first hempy plants. It is a @SeedsMan Blueberry plant. It has been in the flowering tent now for about a week. I measured it today at 31" tall from the top of the pot. The pot holds about 1 1/3 gallons and is filled with pure perlite. I feed this plant approximately 425-450ml of nutrients daily. Every 3 days I take the plant out of the tent, remove the piece of duct tape and pour out whatever is left from feeding the previous day. And trust me, it doesn't flow out. If anything at all it just drips out. I just keep an eye on the plant and continue to be amazed at the ability of the plant to grow in pure perlite. The Blueberry plant is second from the right. I can already tell I am going to have to learn what to do for a plant that reaches the light as this girl seems to just be getting up a head of steam.

Seedsman blueberry at 31 in above the pot

This is another of my hempy plants. This is a Dark Devil auto. It is fed approximately 300ml a day and consumes most of that daily.

Sue are these hempy's exclusively in 2L pots ? looking at a 5L pot for this style and wondered if i've gone too big. was planning on the 5L, with a hole at 2 or 2 1/2 inches from bottom, ultimately feeding every third day to make use of the larger reservoir

i see beez posted ahead and they are in the larger buckets but fed daily

I don't water the vegging plants every day. But I certainly want the flowering plants to have as much to drink as they want. As I become more comfortable with the hempy growing I will experiment with this and that and settle in to a system that works well for me.

Interesting watering Technic for sure

Hey Bluter........The 5 liter pots are pretty much the size many of us use. Are you in the US? Do you have a Dollar Tree near you? The pots I am using are probably very close to 5 liters. And you can see in the photo above this size is capable of sustaining a pretty large (for me) plant.

Hey blunter I use one to two gallon pots for my tents. I have a couple larger ones for more demanding plants like the Zam X Pan.

The choice of pot size has as much to do with available space as anything else. I'll be playing with some 5-gallon hempies in New Orkeans, so we'll certainly be looking for ways to make that work. I can't see how it can't, but it's finding the balance point for the individual garden.

You'll be fine.

 

[beez0404]

One of the first experiments I want to try is raising the hole up to 3" or maybe even 3.5" in the small trash can pots I'm using.

Have you joined us over at Hempy Headquarters ? I’ve been busy packing and may have missed you.

thanks for this you beautiful human

doing tons of research and starting to feel a bit more comfortable with my choices. got spooked when i killed the clones and have questioned absolutely everything since which resulted in a complete change of action for me. radical change is frightening for me lol, but often necessary.

i am 100% new to hempy but everything is encouraging me to go this way. my mom wants to know of a way to indoor grow and this looks more and more the way

Good morning afternoon evening to you Sue And many happy returns of the day to the daughter!

I probably won’t miss a day of posting bluter. Lol! Where I go the neighborhood goes.

She said “Thank you.”

I used to be just like him

Ah, another one sees the cloud-shrouded peak - and thinks himself capable of envisioning the entire mountain .

till I had a minor stroke...

Congratulations on the "minor." Mom had a pretty lazy left side for a while. She has been very careful about not using the "s-word," but one wonders, what else could it be? Her sister had three minor ones. Minor in this case meaning it took a fourth to punch her ticket. No family reunion there; her and her theiving boy disappeared some weeks before the end and both the event itself and the "wrap-up" escaped notice. There's one I'd like to get a hold of for a little discussion about beginnings, and a little demonstration of endings.

Funny things, strokes. An old friend's older husband had one about five years ago. Couldn't tell it to look at him - unless you managed to put two and two together and come up with 7¾. Left him real hyperactive. Which must have surprised the two guys he went hunting with for the first time afterwards when he got bored with stalking and just started shooting whatever took his fancy. So no more hunting for him; must have come closer to killing him than the stroke did. I forget how many countries he's killed things in, lol, but they spread across five continents. No more hunting where he's concerned... unless he's gotten bored and wandered off again.

Then I realized it is just easier to be happy and healthy.

Some people believe true happiness is a state of being that one cannot attain while there's still sand left, because it encompasses the entire life. (I've stated that badly, probably because I do not necessarily subscribe to the belief.) That what many call "happiness" is merely pleasure and contentment, perhaps combined with a warm feeling when remembering certain past times more than others.

I have also always believed to live and let live.

As Pop put it, "I have enough to worry about without worrying about other people's sh!t."

On the other hand sometimes I like to poke the bear...

As bears go, this one is only half "cave," and at least 10% "teddy" (albeit, with some stuffing missing and in need of some stitching from time to time).

Living on the edge huh ???

The Internet is an infinite flat plane - no edges in sight.

Happy birthday "Little Sweet".

I'm almost finished with my first ever batch of canna butter in the MB2. I'll be putting it on/in something soon to start the celebration.

 

[SweetSue]

TS, true happiness doesn’t depend on the recalling of any memories or the anticipation of what might lie ahead. It’s a good starting point for the vibration, but when you let external things create your happiness those same external influences have the power you gave them to take it away.

Joy is simply a deliberate choice, made just because it’s the most reliable vibration, if health and wholeness were your intent.

Not joy because marvelous things are happening, but marvelous things happening because you fill your cells with the vibration of joy and that’s what you attract.

Simple cosmic physics meets biology.

 

[TorturedSoul]

Interesting.... now I understand the discordance. You see yourself in him. It’s one of those quirks of mankind that those who irritate us are really just reflecting back things we see in ourselves and are supremely uncomfortable with.

Or you might be over-thinking it just a wee bit, lol. We all have a little @sshole - and sometimes they need to be aired (err... so to speak).

I may be the unshaven one, but I am a fan of Occam's Razor.

I’ve been training to be absolutely accepting

...which qualifies you to be a better dance partner than debater.

BtW, in order to change the world, one must first decide... that they don't accept it.

Second thoughts?

in TS’s case that means I don’t try to sway his point of view.

You did get me to... to...

Well, you got me to Pittsburgh (or through it, technically speaking)- and that took some doing. You also got me home again, which was even more of an accomplishment, if I remember correctly.

You'll never get me into "organics," though.

Speaking of swaying points of view, how'd you like a crash course in single-plant sativa DWC SCROG? It's like an aquarium, only better (and no fish to flush).

Love you TS.

If only you were ten years younger than me. Oh, wait, I forgot a few (of my) birthdays. Fifteen, do we hear fifteen?

Hey, the ceiling worms are back! There goes my pleasant demeanor for the year. Wonder what would happen if I sprayed some 3M headliner adhesive on my ceilings, then blew a pound of diatomaceous earth on them?

Whoops, how would I get the cat to stay up there?

Good morning everyone

Hiya, Nurse!

This is the point when I look in and think "HTH do I think I have enough time?" Everything's moving along nicely. We still have another month.

I'd have tried very, very, hard to find a way to make my exit date a variable based on the (Zamaldelica x Panama)'s actual finish date. Kind of worried that one will be taken early.

The fan is wafting a delicious berry and fuel perfume from this little lovely.

It just occurred to me that I've never actually smelled that one. I'm more into the "berry" than fuel. The gram that R. and I bought for my brother's birthday smelled like some kind of wood-spirits from high school chemistry class. Might actually have been Hawaiian. Who knows? You don't get much in the way of choice when shopping at the local "...and he sells a little bud, too" dealer.

It's the daughter's birthday

Happy birthday, youngin'.

We're going to see The Meg

The Meg? The Celtic healer-witch out of legend? I didn't think anyone still remembered her. Which would be a shame - even the faerie tasted her power.

Let your joy be a deliberate choice.

Doesn't come naturally, huh? That somehow makes me feel a little better, lol.

I'm a walking advertisement for how powerful a thing unbridled joy can be.

I was a walking advertisement for sh!tty, pre-made square pizzas once. Second shortest job I ever had, at three hours. Turns out they expect you to not smoke while pretending to be a halfwit with a sign.

Your mental imbalance seems much more pleasant than mine.

 

[TorturedSoul]

There are different ratios of NPK (and other micronutrients) needed at different growth stages

Or three, perhaps. The first 40% of the flowering period (aka "the stretch") has different requirements than both later in flowering and the vegetative phase. EDIT: Which is why most nutrient manufacturers have a "transition" period in the middle of their feeding recommendations.

Some old fart once told me that, if you get it right, you'll never flush again, and people will compliment you on your fine, soil-grown bud (he always grew using DWC and ebb & flo hydroponics, lol) .

One of these days...
