Tead's Indoor-ish, Winter, Hempy, OGK, SOG

I just started hempy and I have 5 hempy and only 11 in dirt....

And 3 clones from today.

Careful now... Sue started with a single and quickly discovered the charms. She's still discovering them. I really like the way she takes her time with it all and gets to know her plants. Not too wrapped up in numbers. Yup.... she's been giving it a good shake.

I'm a Scorpio...I don't know how to take it easy...lol

But seriously...the hempy seems fantastic,like u, I had planned on hydro in the fall for when I go Backpacking....but this seems like a better, and cheaper, option

I'm currently on my down sizing hill. I've narrowed down a few strains I like and after a few more test patience my harem will be much smaller

Look at larger size hempy pots if you want to travel some with no worries. Anything over 3gal will go for 5 days without water or negative impact... tho this might vary in less humid climates a touch. My regular cycle on larger pots was 4 days. 5 gals will take a week or more to dry to the point of damage... probably 2+ weeks.

They are in 3gal now to test and see
On day 4 I think of my male transplant..and just did the others 2 days ago

By Oct I should have a good handle on hempy... I'd really only need 4 days when I go

Oooooo I'm just using the Fox Farm nutes now..what do u suggest??? So many options...hard to know what's the best. Not thinking of the time release stuff you have talked about , maybe too much to learn yet.

I started with FF. Had it left over from my previous hydro attempts. I shifted to the DynaGro line... mostly because of price and because it's a very simply 2 piece program rather than the standard 3. Then I got really lazy/cheap and tried the Osmocote+. Liquid regimes give you a ton more flexibility.... or you can mix a liquid and time release program.
But you're familiar with the FF line... seems a good starting point. Work on the dance you know before you get ur Tango on.

Exactly what I was thinking..

When my FF is getting Low I'll start my plans towards hempy domination. .

Shots from a morning garden....

Betty's still got some life left in her. She's currently reporting the temps in my smoking area.

Then there's the outdoor hempy....

And the borg battles continue. These are the 2 heaviest affected plants in the garden. Both UltraDog3. UltraDog1's in the garden are clean. Interesting....

Off to play plumber today. Yesterday I got to do the whole 'draggin shit to the curb' eviction. I fail to see why someone would leave behind a van, a boat, and an 4-wheeler.... but whatever... I'll let the tow company deal with it all.

Sometimes it's easier to walk away and start fresh. Your life is never dull, is it?

Interesting that the mites took such a liking to UD3. Hopefully you'll wipe the little critters out of your grow rooms. I'm pulling for you.

 

[Radogast]

You might want to set those UD3's down up close to that lantana plant. Lantana is supposed to have insecticidal and anti-fungal properties (among others.)

Anybody,

what would be an ideal rez size for a 5 gallon before i drill my hole? A gallon?

Gauge

 

[Gauge Steel]

Stoopid question, 2 inches is 2 inches from any bucket size. Damn the Green Crack is messing with my reasoning. Doing some Grow room prep because its not quite hot as hell but if i got on my roof i could probably see it, and i aint getting out there today.

Just measured out two inches and settled on 2liters. Close enough.

Gauge

 

[Tead]

Close enough.

Indeed.

I have some with larger res's in the bottom.... some smaller.... doesn't seem to make a huge difference since my roots invade it all anyway. It can have an impact on time between waterings, but not much and probably not an effect you'd see in such a small format.

5gal I might hit 5in. 2gal maybe 3.
Whatever tho really... it's all good. I never measure... just eyeball it.

Depth of the reservoir will only effect feeding frequency, correct?

I've been trying to run away from that one for a while. He's a touch special apparently. He moved in with his wife.... I think she 'handled' his drunken stupid ways. She apparently parted company with him early on in the year long lease... tho I'm just learning this. Too bad she was still on the lease. She's the one with the 'attachable' income since his income is off the books. Shame he's gonna cost her, but my hands are mostly tied and they're still married anyway... in a joint property state, spouses are both on the hook for each other anyway. I'll zonk them both and let them sort it out in their divorce proceedings... I've already suffered enough because of them.

Not as much as you might think. It's always been a point of amazement to me how damp the perlite stays. Perhaps my humidity plays a roll some.

OH!!!!
I found my long lost Kind Pen. So happy.... not lost in the qtr.... lost in the bottom of a drawer!
Charged and loaded.... ready for some visitors heading my way!

My daughter has mine, loaded with sleepy meds to keep by the bed. Great little device.

Apparently there is some humor floating around in the universe that needed to land on me today.
One of my neighbors have their parents in town to tend their home and pet while on a musical tour. The parents are away from their normal supply while in town. I jumped on that opportunity and handed him the pen, grinder, and greenery to keep them company while in town. This keeps all my normal smoking apparatus on my porch and makes another human happy.
Good day... until later this evening when I sliced my leg open. I think it will live without stitches, but the paper towels and DUCK tape have the flow controlled. I cleaned it. ugly.

 

[Gauge Steel]

I don't know wether to like ^^^^^ or not. Maybe glad you got it cleaned?
If you don't think it needs stitches but needs something a little more i have used super glue . I always leave a little drain end for anything that may need an Out.

I got a lot of scars.
