The Official Hempy Bucket Thread

looks great cap!

Here is a lil test I did with a 1.5 gallon Hempy. The plant is an Oger 99 x Sour Bubble fem seed I made some time ago. It is 51" tall and the flowers are like rocks.

Hell to the yeah on that TREE, Useful Idiot. I grow in buckets that size too, and they do just fine.

Nice job UI!

Good to know you can overgrow my cab with one little old 1 1/2" gal bucket.

Just mixed up a new batch of coco with high phosphorous bat guano, dolomite lyme, and kelp juice. Hopefully no deficiencies this time around.

There are some amazing hempys here! I've recently transplanted some little seedlings from soil that just was not right for them into a single hempy bucket. Two of them seem to love it, one has only been transplanted yesterday- so I guess we'll see. I have two questions out of this, though:

1) Can you place more than one plant in the same hempy bucket? (I guess I'll find this out ether way but i'm curious to see what people think.
2) If I start a plant in a jiffy pellet can I just dump the pellet into a hempy or do I need to wash the soil off first.

Anyway, hwere's my meager offering, I hope to have something more impressive some day soon

Some seedlings transplanted from the bad soil into the same pot:


An aurora indica I've got growing- RR cube and then hempy from day 5 or so post sprouting.

You can put the peat pellet directly in the hempy pot. Never had any problems with that method.
Don't know about putting two plants in a single container. Personally I wouldn't but that doesn't mean you cant.

 

[chronosync]

Clones can share a pot if they are genetically identical they don't compete especially if it's hydroponic. I've seen it done and explained here.

2 cents
Ching!

 

[Evil_Monkey]

Thanks guys- the Aurora Indica is the one I actually want to survive. If the mixed pot seedling survive then great. Otherwise I'll just chalk that off as experience. I'll let you know how they go.

Speaks brother. I was curious to those hoses over hempy ..
It is air to oxygenate the rez ?

Grateful.

Do you hand-watering or automatic drip watering?

 

[Useful Idiot]

Hand watered.......lots of hand watering...lol.

 

[chronosync]

Ha ha yup I'd water that tree as much as it wanted�� too bad you stunted its growth by keeping it rootbound! LOL jk. Just kidding that's freaking amazing.

N Deficiency from Overwatering?

Sorry no pics, but when I describe it it should be clear:

Very yellow leaves at the bottom, creeping up slowly.

Leaves are "clawing" down, almost look like they're too heavy.

I might have overdone w/ watering, my plants are in 3:1 Perlite/Vermiculite but I watered them probably too much and always had nute solution in my outside trays/container.
I am feeding GH Trio, standard dosage, right now vegging (7/7/7ml per 10L)

Am I right suspecting it's N deficiency from overwatering, the leaves bending/clawing down also seem to indicate its too much water?
Otherwise I couldn't explain why they'd have Nitrogen deficiency.

Thanks!

Edit: What should I do, just wait some days and cut down watering, like water just any 3 days or so?

Try running 4:1 pearlite/vermiculite you should be able to water daily with that unless the plants are very small. Some people even use pure pearlite. Leaves will yellow and droop if the roots are too wet. Also they can do it if you don't water daily and the solution in the pot become exhausted of some nutrient.

I am guilty of yellow lower leaves by not watering often enough and not running full strength nutes to compensate. I like to run half strength and water twice as often, so low vermiculite content is essential, vermiculite likes to break down into fine mush, and fill the little gaps between the pearlite that would otherwise hold air for healthy roots.

 

[redlaser]

If it's just a few of the older leaves turning yellow that's normal, from age or lack of enough light it seems. With the curling of leaf tips I would think too much water, and that can affect nitrogen uptake.
Recently I had plants do what you're describing and it turned out to be high levels of chloride in the water, had to switch to ro water

 

[DOWNLOW]

I've got three hempy 's going a little more perlite on the 3:1 ratio perlite/to vermiculite. All thru my veg which was about 2 months leaves yellowed and fell off everyday and still now during flowering at day 40 12/12. I water 40 ml pbp bloom in 1 and a half gallon there drinking twice a day at that rate and still leaves yellow. Here they are 30 days left acording to description.







I love the ease just ph the solution but the constant watering I think I'm going to try and automate this sooner or later and this is just 3 plants lol.

Hello, This is my first grow in a long while. I bought 10 healthy clones two weeks ago and put them in 1 gallon hempy buckets with organic veg nutes to be grown outdoors. My hope was that they would veg for a while and then let the flowers develop naturally into the autumn. Sunrise to sunset hours are just under 14 at the moment. Every one of them is developing tiny flowers as of a week ago.
My question to you good folks is this. Should I surrender to the inevitable and switch to a flowering solution even though the girls are only 4-5" tall or so? Are there any other options this late in the season, knowing that they must remain outdoors?
Thanks in advance!

 

[chronosync]

Good luck!

 

[DoomsDay]

They've started the cycle man. You're best bet is chalk it up to lesson learned on these ladies and make sure next time you've got supplemental light up before next time. Adding light now for such a short period would probably give you some issues later on like single bladed leafs and potential stress issues

 

[figment58]

Thanks DD. Lesson learned. No problem. I'll switch to flowering nutes and if there is any advice to maximize their potential I'd appreciate hearing it. Eight are sativa dominant and two indica dominant.
