[Endo]

Happy Brother BX1

Starting beans poppin this week. i have limited room so i cannot do all 10 at a time. but im gonna pop 4-5. start them in plain promix in a 16 oz solo cup. then transfer them to 3gal hempy buckets, 75% perlite 25% vermiculite, and feed with 1 part cns-17 nutes.

this is my first time with hempy buckets but i have heard great things. so i decided to give them a try. pics coming soon.

thanks to karma and ton for getting these beans out to us FUCKERS!

Im gonna try to do ya proud!

5 started in paper towel, only planning on running 4 of them. but one seed never pops for me.

 

[Endo]

so i cooked the beans i first started like an asshole by putting them too close to the heating mat. (my house gets really cold). so i tossed in the other 5 seeds. all popped, and just so everyone knows.. the other ones popped also b4 they got cooked. so 9 out of 10. aint bad. so i guess we are going to run 5 of these bad boys in hempy buckets... good thing i got a few extra buckets.

so heres some white tails and some cups with seeds in them. and a couple nugs of djshorts FLO.

anyone know how i can make these smaller?

explaination of hempy buckets from hempy.

Default Hempy Bucket Method
The biggest benefit of this method is.......it's free!

To make a hempy bucket is simple, all you need to do is this:

Get a bucket.

The size of the bucket can vary from 1gal(4lt) to 5gal(20lt).

The preferred size is a 2.5gl bucket, which can yeild up to 14oz depending on the strain and Pheno.

Drill a drain hole in the side of the bucket about 2 inches from the bottom.

The drain hole should be 7/16".

The grow medium is perlite/vermiculite.

3 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite.

You can use volcanic rocks but the perlite/vermiculite is the preferred method.

Once you have your seedling sprouted fill the bucket with plain water every day until the tap root has reached the standing water that always remains in the bottom of the bucket. this will take about 10-14 days after the bean sprouts, in a 2.5 gl bucket.

Once you see three sets of leaves, water with 1/2 strength nutrient solution. This will be about 14 days after you bean has sprouted.

Completely fill the Hempy Bucket with plain water, every two days.

Use water that has been open overnight to allow the chlorine to escape, unless you can afford to buy filtered or distilled water.. Do not adjust the plain water for ph.

Put 2gls of water in a 2.5gl bucket, and let stand overnight. Add the nutrient solution to this water bucket and then adjust the ph to 6.0 For best results use an accurate ph meter and follow the nutes mfg reccomended amounts very carefully. Use precise measuring devices to make your nute solution.

Fill the Hempy Bucket with 2 gls of nutes you mixed, once a week, unless the plant shows sign of needing more.

Feeding twice a week with 1/2 strenght nutes is a better idea than feeding full strenght nute once a week.

The strenght of your nutes depends on several factors such as how much light you have, humidity, CO2, strain your growing.

One drawback is having to hand water every 2 days, of course you could get an irrigation system set up for your buckets.

The biggest drawback to me, is the runoff.

Got a spare bathroom, grow your Hempy Bucket in the bathtub.

Basements sometimes have drains.

Or you could get a bucket for your bucket and dump that in your bathtub every other day.

should be interesting in the buckets bro...aaaaand there off!

i too am making a run with Hempy Buckets...good luck to you!

 

[dubwise]

Good luck to you! I just started my 2nd grow with Hempy Buckets and am very excited at the process. Best of luck.

 

[itsaplant]

great start thier i think i will break out the popcorn

 

[Endo]

tadah! 4 of them survived, 1 got all brown and rotted for some reason. so in all i germed all 10 seeds, 1 didnt pop i baked 4 of them, 1 rotted, and 4 survived. great germ rates. dopey grower. but these babies look happy and healthy so i cant complain.

 

[Tonatiuh]

well they look happy anyways bro,i fried some last month or so ago the same way bro with a heating mat.it happens...good vibes on all females now !
peace bro,cant wait to see these buckets in action.even with the description its hard for me to picture how they work.if you can give a little walk thru as you go along would be cool yo,i always like to learn other methods.
peace-T-

I'm interested in the Hempy Buckets, but I'm wondering how you transplant into them, if they are in party cups with what appears to be a peat based soiless medium? Do you simply cut the bottom off the cup, and put them in the buckets and let the roots grow?

Also, would adding an airstone to the hempy buckets be beneficial?

tests have been done....and the airstone will just get clogged with nutes and stuff... no sense really.

right now they are in promix soil, i know it seems weird im changing mediums like this, but being that i have never done hempy buckets b4, i wanted to make sure the seedlings have a decently established root system, and a bit of moisture holding medium around them, incase i screw something up... but when i transplant i will make up the buckets and dig a hole and transplant them out of the cups and take the "core" and center it in the bucket. and back fill.

normally you would have the plant in some rockwool or something and put it right into the bucket.. i guess its the same thing, im just using promix. you can also start them in the buckets ive read, but seems risky to me.
