Mad’s Hempy Bucket Vertical SCROG
- Thread starter MadR1
- Start date
Attempting to tame this beast some.
Been sick for a bit, other hobbies.
I should have made the screen taller, not a proper SCROG.
I cut slits in the back of the bucket for more air circulation.

Hi man nice thread.
I'm using this balast and bulb combi for years with an improve on quality and quantity. Its a cheaper version of the cdm/cmh bulbs.
Got both and a G12 to E40 adapter for under 60 euro. And they are also avaliable in 70w.
First time using that light i got 2 strains that did grow well but developed only tiny buds so i add an hps for the last weeks and all the babys exploded.
Since then i use the the 1-2 osrams for veg and first 1/3 of bloom and then add 250-400w hps with nice results.
Great about the cmh/cdm is that they run a little cooler and the plants can grow very close to them without burning. And their price.
One downside is that the light intesity drops after about 6 month of usage, but i'm lazy and use them for 12 month and i'm ok with the little yield drop.
There are some grow reports here with the lower wattage cmh/cdm.

What she looked like 3 days ago before I chopped.
Looks like a huge pile to me, super sticky.
Only put pollen on three top flowers.
Mix of tight and loose flowers.
I got to lazy on the SCROG,
But stoked on my first vert.
For 90e Spider Farmer and totally lazy Hempy, I’m happy. Smaller flowers than my DIY SunStrip.
For my hernia recovery I put an inch of Perlite in the whole tray for my small Hempy bucket plants, and topped with coco, to make it so less frequent watering were needed. Once only every 3 days.
I’m over the difficult part, only allowed to lift a gallon a time for the next two weeks.
Gotta get back to making more time for my garden. Got Venus Flytraps from tissue culture that need transplanting.
I’ll trim in a couple weeks when it’s mostly dry, to see how many oz.... I’m guessing 4?
The sad part of my hernia surgery recovery laziness:
I lost a fish cause I let the Aquaponics thing go three weeks without a 10-%15 water change. A week to long.
I didn’t eat it, though Koi are some kind of Carp. I buried it. It was a 1 pound fish for sure. Still have 2.
Flushed for near two weeks.

Thanks Chilliwilli, interesting.
Always kinda miss HPS. Maybe My deciding factor these days is what’s less harmful to the environment.
Made some auto beans for when the sun comes out, but I didn’t get any males. Put pollen from a male of the mix this thread is about - Fire Angel reg on it. Yikes. Lots of inbreeding to fix that to be all auto.

Covid-19 stoner alert! No more sharing bongs, pipes, joints, vapes. No more dap/fist bumps.
New healthy habits to everyone! Stay buzzed! Peace!

IT IS a huge pile, after all it's a microgrow, imagine if your bedroom was as full as the growbox...
Nice job.
Thanks grow peeps! It was difficult to get a camera in there with such limited and ackward space.
Here are the flower pics I took with my phone day before chopping. I will bust out the dslr to get some good dry flower pics at least in a week or so.

Subjective yield report
—————————————————————
It was this much times 2. A bit more than 2 quart sized jars and two cereal bowls of trim. I had nice photos of the 2 jars and I accidentally deleted. Sorry.
I never got around to buying a scale.
I’ve already smoked and vaped near half. It’s only really cured nice in the shake of the jar. Breaks apart fairly easy taking in and out of jar/paper bag. Taking forever to cure. And I run a dehumidifier near always. My fish tanks make the room extra humid regardless it seems.
The flowers are smaller and lighter than the other gals I’ve done from the same mix. They got near 1/3 the amount of light as my DIY Sunstrip from seed grows.

Smoke Report
Seems to have no tolerance factor, works every time. I was worried I cut to soon but it gives a great near instant body buzz and a “similar to Headband” head.
Good daytime medication. I wish it were more Indica.... hint hint
It tastes like Creamy orange smoothie and has chocolate and mint aftertaste.
Butterscotch?
Kinda pineapple ish
Dried papaya or guava?
I have almost no sense of smell so it’s all about the taste.
Not a thing I don’t like about it.

Possible future of strain:
She was made with seed by
Bodi, Bodhi? Seeds...
HP Black Domina BX.
I’ll take pictures of a gal with seed of that strain to add her side by side for comparison.
That one does put me to sleep.
I figure they look related because of these strains they have in common
Black Domina from the Blackberry in Hells OG
Northern Lights
Also crossed this “Fire Angel” strain of mine to a male Grape Ape, waiting for those 3 gals to mature.
My breeding idea,
(Fire Angel X Grape Ape) X (Fire Angel X HPBDBX)
I bow down to the superiority of Purps. Guess I could have just tried harder to get a cut of that, I had once but messed making beans somehow. Grape Ape is my second choice.

Other breeding project I started recently:
I got some auto beans reg and figured I could make more beans crossing it to auto strawberry cheese fem and auto NL Fem and Purps auto fem... but none turned out male. In desperation I mixed male Fire Angel to these f autos, the reg being a Bluebeery x Lebanese Auto.
This is a whole can of worms. If I grow some of these regs X autos I gotta let the auto blooming ones mate only for a bunch of times until they all come out auto?
The Strawberry Cheese does taste great!!!
Make room for a few autos in the veg area?
Take them somewhere far away when they start to bloom to avoid unintended cross pollination?
Possibly to be continued.

Fire Angel is actually a bit of a creeper. I start noticing a body buzz first then when I’m done with smoking a bowl it hits in the head pretty hard. Yup this one was mostly up. A lot of cookies flavor, Thin Mints.
It’s strange though. I gave a bunch of these seeds to a new grower who did a couple runs in soil indoors with LED purple lights. I tried to explain the importance of drying each separate. He didn’t think his females looked any different and he dried and cured all in the same jar.
If his were as uniform as he claims I’m scratching my head why that was.
I had 3 males out of 5 recently. I rubbed and smelled the trunk and chose the very chocolate mint smelling one to do the business. This is about all I do now that I’m planning to inbreed heavily. I don’t keep the seeds from the sisters separated. So, I also roll the dice a lot.
I’ll close out with these pics of 5 new gals from the same F1 Fire Angel seeds. Really shows the variety.
