G`day Dr PD

I thanked Hempy for his seeds .
I gave some to a friend as a gift . No trades were involved . None of the 100 or more seeds I received germed.Including the 10 I sent to a friend to see if there was an error in my germination technique .

No shame involved . Since that incident I have made my own seed . So I don`t have to beg .
Those seeds are now in the 4 corners of the globe being enjoyed by members of the community .
My conscience is clear .


Thanks for sharin

Elmer pm me begin for seed and he told me he had lost orders as they entered threw custems so i thort i would help elmer the lier out after he hassled me i felt sorry for him and sed i had f2s i could send him that were old but i still get 70% to 60% germination.

So i sent him a lot and told him theres inuf there to germ and get good numbers up from to select and find good plants in as friends have.

I had an acedent and other things to deal with elmer the bull shitter then pm me a abusive nasty pm for not sending them yet so i explained and still sent them when i should of sed fuck off elmer.

Then elmer the bull shitter PM me and tells me GET THIS SHIT he send seeds to people to trade for other lines and they are not getting any to germinate priceless.

I told him why did he trade seed when he was told he needed the numbers to get good numbers up to select from so he lied to me and i have every reason to not like the guy

...this whole post is total crap, i was on that site when ganjaman1 and hempy and a few other fools turned Shantibaba's site into a cesspool and it was NOT Elmer Bud who was at fault in any of it, it was hempy all the way that was the lieing, insulting dunghole!

...is this account just a plant for use after your 'grasshole's dad' account got banned?

...why do you come here and actively try to stir shit? ...what do you hope to gain?

bozo

...btw, i didn't know Elmer Bud back then and i still don't know him now, but it's bullshit what's being spread here and it's just not right! ...manure is what it is!

Can we get back on topic? This thread used to be a good one to check every time it showed up on my "my IC" page. Now I cringe when I see it.

Lets not talk about the guy who calls himself hempy. He's pretty much a nobody. By the way, this method is as much his as America is the white man's. That is to say, it wasn't discovered by him. He gave it a stupid name, that's all.

So, lets get back to talking about the poorly-named method that we all love so much, and not the guy who gave it the poor name.

:tiphat:

...i couldn't agree more, this passive hydroponic technique goes back to the time of the Romans and probably before that, ...like you say, 'hempy' is just a convenient name that happens to fit, it is 'hemp' we grow after all, lol. ...frankly, this is the reason i continue to use the term and not because of any 'homage' to the 'man'.

it's the TECHNIQUE that is important, not the name or the container size and the technique has evolved and been honed by MANY over the years so it AND the name belong to the community and not ANY one man.

peace, bozo

Hempys are pretty much only known in the cannabis circles ..... the rest of the world calls them by many names , but it all leads back to it just being a sub irrigated planter .
we call them hempys cuz for some reason when dialahempy called them his hempy buckets we just tagged along like all good robots should . :)

noyd666

lol I intend to keep calling them hempy's cause its easy, but HENRY did sing a song about a hole in the bucket haha a henry bucket.

I dont use hempy buckets...

But its always been my impression that they are virtually the same as a bato bucket....

A bato bucket system generally uses perlite, drip feeding and nutrient recycling....


The bato bucket system generally uses no vermiculite ....since you can drip feed on any schedule.....


To me a hempy is little more than a manual bato bucket.....



I hope none of the hempy loyalists are offended but its really hard to invent anything thats really new.....



The system I use now....is fairly close to a bato bucket..... but instead of perlite I use turface.....


which makes reuse of nutrients much easier.....


Irrigate once an hour during light.....


Bet you cant do that with a hempy.....


JK......

...yeah, i don't know anything about the system you describe but the 'hempy' technique is simple and passive, that's it's most attractive feature, it's elegant simplicity.

...anyway, like i said above, i'm growing a form of hemp in mine so i'll continue to call mine 'hempy' buckets, if i were growing beans in them i'd be calling them 'beany buckets' i suppose, lol

...dalaihempy may have thought he was naming them after himself to feed his ego but what he inadvertently did was name them appropriately after the plant we all love to grow so to my way of thinking, 'hempy' just fits.

...he's long gone from these parts anyway and the troll who used to make an issue of it has been banned so maybe now we can just get on with the discussion of growing the ganja and helping new people learn how.

peace, bozo

Hempy is NOT a "nobody". Regardless of the history of this type of growing, Hempy was the first person to use and share it with the cannabis community, and for that, I give him respect. He, and nobody else, made this type of growing popular, and I thank him for it's simplicity and effectiveness.

And what is your purpose may I ask ?

Interesting coincidence Grassot `s Dad got banned for trolling here last week . Then this week a new sock puppet emerges and takes up where the previous puppet left off . Fascinating really ...

why not get back to discussing and presenting cannabis grown in a [you name it] bucket?

Can we get back on topic?

i must agree with hush here and to give a good example i will share my newest contraption:



these are two 10 litre containers, perlite or lava rocks in the bottom, topped up with coco.

i use automatic feeding system that i mentioned in my previous posts:

picture.php


this time i will flower my bonsai mothers here. they look rough due to long time with scarce lighting and feeding. but they will soon take off :biggrin:

you can find next chapters of this story down in the rabbit burrow if you're interested.


i really hope to see more setups in this thread, rather than vicious circle of debate about the name and/or creator of this bucket... for like 10th time...

peace to all! :smoke:

I just finished drying the harvest from my Silver LA hempy bucket. I only got 3.1 ounces from this one plant, but at least it's exceptional quality!
