A walk through Hempy's Garden

[Guest]

A most amazing setup. I am setting up 2 waterfarms that will run separately.
Do you run the drip 24/7 or is there an on/off schedule?
Thank you.

Hey Hempy! Just doing my regular lurk of your thread, and saw you mention you use Lucas formula. I've seen the numbers on FloraNova Bloom, and they are bang on - Floranova Bloom is basically one-part Lucas formula in a bottle. have you tried it, or thought about giving it a try?

Here's the info, from another thread:

Yes NiteTiger, we used to call the FloraNova "FloraLucas", comparing 8ml of FNB per gallon to 0-8-16 is like playing spot the difference lol, its minimal. Seems like some GH employee is into pot and made GH produce the FN series, but unfortunately the recommendations for the nute strength are way to high, 15ml would burn any hydro (and probably soil) plant.

You can grow without the veg bottle, in DWC its even better, because the veg contains more ammonia, a very hot form of N, combined with a very fast release medium like in DWC this can easily lead to burn and is too hot for the roots, so hot that it prevents proper root development. IOW, the less ammonia in DWC the better.

Personally, i believe that a small amount ammonia is good for the development of seedlings, but i also disrecommend using seedlings in DWC, clones only.

A word on additives, when someone is saying ie. use calmag to correct this and that deficiency, in most cases you could just use more of your "basic" nutes, calmag is almost a complete fert in it self, people that use "half strength of basic nutes" tend to love it

Basically, 5ml FNB = 0/5/10 Lucas with the 3 part, and 8ml FNB = 0/8/16 Lucas with 3 part.

Hey folks,

Sorry I haven't been updating this thread weekly anymore. Nothing really new and with all the recent crap around, the urge to keep posting weekly just isn't threre anymore.

A most amazing setup. I am setting up 2 waterfarms that will run separately.
Do you run the drip 24/7 or is there an on/off schedule?
Thank you.

They run 24/7 with 30 min break in the morning, evening and late night. I've found that these breaks allow the salts that accumulate in the tip of the air supply tube in the bubble column to get dissolved and blown out. If you don't keep an eye on these they will plug up and stop bubbling.

Heya NiteTiger,
I haven't tried the FloraNova series, but it does look interesting. I want to try an organic nute program, but not sure if I can given the way my garden works. I need to be able to run the same nute mix throught the flowering stage. It's too difficult to administer various supplements since all the plants in my garden are at different ages.

Cheers!
Hempy

That's what I was trying to say hempy The FloraNova Bloom Formula (not the whole series) is basically Lucas in a bottle.

This is a crazy pimp ass setup you got Happy. I got a couple of modified waterfarms that I have not used in a while nice to see what they can do when used right. I might use them later this year was thinking of a scrog cause last time they got way too big. Do you add an additional airstone on top of the dripper? keep it green

 

[Bonzo]

Unreal Hempy it doe'snt get much much better than that. Your tie dye? love the monster colas. Ya know growin is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get. A friend of mine and top notch tree grower got no keepers out of a pack of LS. i just had a bummer getting 9 outa 10 males from a pack of high price seeds, gonna make some f2s and try again.

totally bitchen Hempy

It's been fun folks, but this will be my last reply on this thread.

I've had a blast sharing my garden with everyone and I am thankful for all the help and support I've gotten from the members here.

Unfortunately, this site has lost it's direction and become a cesspool of little kids and useless crap. I don't have the time to weed thru all of little Johnny's posts on what dirt weed he paid $20 for or that his parents found his grow, etc.. etc..

Keep it Clean and Green!
Hempy

 

[Sleepy]

i'll miss you.

 

[Cheeba]

I enjoyed the show HappyHemphog! Thanks for sharing

 

[Harry Gypsna]

sad loss hemphog..... thissucks, all the growers leaving because of all the knobheads taking over...but gypsy wont do anything about it coz it dont hurt seedsales, end of story

 

[NiteTiger]

Dammit... Good luck and happy travels hempy!

 

[Guest]

Hempy was one of the main reasons I joined IC. Actually most of the reasons I joined have left too. It's funny, I joined to get away from the bullshit at overgrow and now that's almost all that's left.

This is disheartening.

Thanks Hempy, I am modeling my waterfarm grow after your advice. Drilled the holes, got the new valves. Recirculating. I will post the grow as a thank you anyway.

Peace...

Hey happy i want to make a DYI Krypto scrubber, but i cant find a picture tutorial anywhere. How did you make yours? I have 5 boxes of carbon & a bucket ready to go. lol

Edit: nvm i have the concept sused out now.

 

[gift of gab]

After a few days of hanging the dried buds from the hawaiian were trimmed from the branches and weighed.


Here's the monster cola.


Weight of all popcorn, branch buds and colas: 128g
Weight of main cola minus 7g for stem: 40g

That makes a total weight of SIX ounces of weed.

I think I made my 4 ounce target, eh?

Cheers!
Hempy

yah hempy when I was reading this and looking at those pics I was thinking to myself, *that looks like alot more than 4 ounces to me* Guess I was right

Hey Happy Hemphog,

This is still one of the best grow threads ever. I know you split I did too. But my yield doubled following some of your methods. So if you ever cruise by , my thanks to you again...


Peace...

I bought the Lifesaver, let's see what an unstable polyhybrid can do! Worked for you...

 

[guineapig]

Absolutely Hall of Fame material i totally agree......

HHH was such an outstanding grower and person and at least he has left us
this thread and has chosen not to totally delete his identity and all of his posts....

kind regards from the guineapig

 

[BabyHughie]

GP hit it on the head.

It really is a shame how much good info has been deleted from this site. Regardless why anybody left, in the long run deleting all their posts only hurts the community and no one else. Its sad when you go back and look at a thread that had some killer info that you have been saving for later, and all the posts that had the info are gone. Or the thread itself is entirely gone

Like I said, it only hurts the community, and more specifically the people within the community who are eager to learn. I thought those were the people we are trying to help.


Big ups to ya Hempy. You, like so many others, are loved and missed!

 

[Scorp1on]

Very nice thread! Gave me alot of info since im new to growing.

Too bad you stopped the update but I can understand it! Take care+

 

[stretchpuppy]

Yeah... miss ya hempy. Where are those Chronic Royale's at??

 

[Guest]

OK.......Here it is..........And it IS what It IS...........Hempy came here and gave the ultimate.............I followed his threads in the background without posting or pm`ing cuz he was overwhelmed with peeps,be it from the collapse of all the other sites or just the sheer ignorance of people not takin the time to read his threads fully but yet would catch a couple of the last 2 to 3 pages of what tended to be multiple-page threads cuz Hempy always explained everything to a "T" with EVERY thread He ever started............Thus ignorance turned into not-bliss and pissin Hempy off just enough top say FUCK-IT!............I cant say I blame him,but sure do wish He was around cuz more knowledge than He and couple more growmasters had really meant to me anyway that things were progressing and actual blue-collar type info was bein spread to the masses instead of the few elite...., If I can,I apologize for the ignorance of all the bullshit questions of your perpetual system and the rest of the newbs and trolls from every site that converged on icmag after the fall of OG,CW,HS,etc............All I ask is that if you`re still around and see this,please forgive the bulk of all of us asking why instead of just listening and doin as told to do.......... PEACE......................DHF..............
