Yeah i'm running the canna line except the boost this time . just don't have the scratch for a 5l of it now . theres a few bottles with canna , but once you get used to it , its pretty routine feeding & the flavors of the weed POP when i use it . GH flora .... was the blandest tasting weed i ever grew !!! couldn't believe it .

the black buckets i just posted are 3 1/2 gallon . & yes i've run the gorilla before in 2 gallon pots .... but they grow better with more root space more than a few of my strains . thats why i' doing 3 1/2's this time .... to see if helps the yield with the same veg time & flowering time as the run i did in 2's .
the headbands are my first time flowering her ..... but i've had that strain in veg many times & watched the way she grew .... just haven't flowered her yet :)

Active ingredient of Boost is Triacontanol.
Buy it here, cheap. Make your own Boost for pennies. Use throughout grow, and add molasses at end to increase flavors. Florilicious+ also adds flavor: kelp & humic acid.

Here's mine at 26 days. Got a little jungle going. Tried to keep the canopy somewhat uniform this time but Ive got too much variety growing and each plant responded to FIM differently and stretch varied from plant to plant. The tallest is a good four feet tall in its bucket. Saw a few gnats about a week ago so I dosed them with skeeter dunks a couple times. Havent seen one since.

2 1/2 gallon buckets, 1 tsp FloraNova Bloom per gallon of tap water with an occasional shot of Floralicious Plus and Thrive biological inoculate.

I think it is an ingrediant of SuperThrive also. However don't forget Seaweed either. Triacontanol is needed in very small amounts and can cause extended flower periods if over used. Meaning they won't finish.

There is no triacontanol in superthrive....


That's an old stoners rumor that refuses to die........

Actually,Triacontanol makes them finish faster.
Kelp is found in Florilicious+.
Triacontanol + molasses + Florilicious+ = Boost.
Only add the molasses in late flower, or a couple weeks in.
If you use triacontanol, be advised that plants will finish faster by 5-7 days, depending on the strain.

Funny you should mention that. I once used some tea made from Molasses, seaweed and powdered alfalfa range cubes. I was running Diesel the NYC variant. They inexplicably did finish earlier than usual but hermied because they got 4 days of 34-36 degrees F. I originally thought the cool temps caused the early finish.

I like the hempys cuz it cuts down on transplanting & the vegging seems alot quicker with the full rez of nutes to feed off of everyday . as far as yields .... its about the same as my DTW buckets .


I have water my Coco every 48hrs. Would I be able to go longer with HEmpy?
yes .... thats why dialahempy made these in the first place ... was so that you could go up to 3 or 4 days without watering if you needed too .
but with coco being a hydro medium .... you'll benefit with better & faster growth if you fed everyday .
 
Beautiful girls dan, They look like they're going to be bushes! I'm also digging that room, looks super clean and tidy.

I've been doing quite a bit myself in the world of hempys, heres a few shots of the gals in flower.

Same girls that were previously shown on my last posts, now in day 15 flower. 2 black diesel, 1 cheese, 1 power africa and 1 pineapple.
100% perlite, GH flora 3 part plus some extras, one 1000k xxl and one 600 cooltube.




And the vegging ladies..An array of Black Diesel, pineapple, p. Africa and Rasberry cough.




Happy Hempying Everyone!

I love how healthy your babies look, i apologize for asking, i most likely missed it earlier, what coco are you running? I'm debating rrunning my next batch in coco hempys to try it out uno mas, I'm digging peoples results, but I recently had a gnarly mishap with some bricked stuff that really gnarled up thier roots and made em claw and show almost cal mg def. (Which may have been my fault) but I honestly don't know what it was, so I turned back to perlite and it got better.Hah. I just like the quality medicine coco produces, well, the ones i've seen and tasted.

Thanks for your time:rasta:
