Hempy Grow Log -- Flower 1200W Veg 400W clones+moms 220W --

[Zendo]

@Zendo

Serious seeds recommends 56-63 days 8-9 weeks flowering
I make a search here on icmag forums for the strain ( AK47 ) and i see
that a lot of people let it run for 70-77 days 10-11 weeks and some
even let it run for 12 weeks.

One think is sure finishing time has strong relations with the phenotype of
each plant , i will monitor closely the trichs and i will start flushing
for 1 or 2 weeks when the first amber trichs start to apear.

At least this is the plan.

Your plants are looking nice!

I know there are some longer Phenos..but you may want to check my current hempy stadium grow in the vert forums..
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=196645

I'm flushing at day 42 and have all cloudy and 10% amber. By day 50 they'll be cut. If these went 9+ weeks they'd be over ripe, but like I said, this pheno was selected for a reason..

Hope you find a fast one in your group.

@ Rysam

Hey Rysam thanks for your kind words ,
i write it on the first post here we will
run this together from build up until Harvest.
It is my first Hempy grow and i learn from this
community so i must give back someway.

@ Zendo

You are goin to have a nice harvest there.
I have 12 different AK genetics i am looking
for a fast finisher and a heavy yielder cross
my fingers and hope.
You have a golden pheno there !!!!


Today i give enough runoff to the new 18 hempys ,
It is hard work guys ....

@ ganja_hasi

Thanks for steping in and checking me out.
Hope those Hempy's grow out nice.

Come on What's going on with those hempy's ???

"Hempiers" of icmag i need you opinion.

I know that mesuring the solution of a Hempy is
not really needed but as i mention before i have enough
hydro grows in my belt and mesuring EC and PH of the solution
is a habbit.

I feed 5,5 - 5,8 ph and 1,5 Ec.

The next day i was draining some water from the hempy's
res and i was taking the following mesurments....

EC 0,5 ph 6,9 .

The movement of the ec from 1,4 to 0,5 can raise the ph
but not from 5,5 to 6,9.And where the rest 0,9 EC goes ???
and do not tell me that those little clones drink up
0,9 EC in 24 hours time .

Next watering i am going to hit them with 2,0 EC and 5,3 ph.

Those Hempy's is intresting i am learning things from scratch and of course
the plants seems to ignore what is going on in the res ,
they look like they ignore Ec and ph values and they are 100% healthy except some (2 or 3) young AK47
that they seem heavy feaders and develop slight cal mag issues cause i feed flora series with R/O and i do not have
any cal mag supplement to help them right now.

Final question .. Wich is you opinion for those Ec and ph movements inside the res ?

 

[Bonavendura]

Happy Holidays to everyone i have some updates and some pics
to share.

First of all as i imagine the thin and tall hempy's (1,5 liters res @ 2 inches)
need watering every two days as they give me some wilting leafs.
The short and fat buckets take a watering every 3 days with no signs of wilting.

I am still watering everything with 5,3 ph and 2,0 EC and the next day
the water standing in the res mesures with 6,8 ph and 0,7 - 0,8 EC.
I cannot understand how all this nutes disapear but as long as my plants
is healthy i don't bother much.

The Plants is almost in perfect health and i have enough different
AK phenos , some of them start giving me slight preflowers ,
AK's is by far more strechy that Top 44 and skunk.
The sad clones that you can see in the first pages of this thread is
in the flowering room for 2 days now and they seem to like it.

In the veg room i must start thinking a training method cause their
going to stretch a lot if i leave them to grow free.
I have some issues to scrog them cause i must move them from Veg room
to flowering room in some weeks so i cannot make a training with a single
scrog screen.I am thinking for individual scrog screens but it is hard and
mesy......any ideas will be helpfull cause i am afraid that i am going to
leave them grow as they like and they going to overgrow my 600 watters.

Build up of the rooms is almost done but still need some instalations
and improvements.Filters,exausts,cooltubes+exuast,flowering room passive intakes

is installed and i must install a passive intake for veg room and
a passive intake from veg room to flower room more i must also water proof
the big run off table of the flowering room,install the second 600 watter and
white sheeting and i think i am done.

At the moment
veg room is running 24/0 at 25-26 celsius with 65% RH
flowering room is running 12/12 at 23-24 Celsius with 60% RH.

Well this is all the updates that i have for you since the last update

some pictures now.

[hazydreams]

looking good bonavendura. looks like you have temps pretty well in check and the humidity isnt too bad. the hempy buckets are amazing the more i learn about them the more i like them!

 

[Bonavendura]

Happy new year everyone.

@ hazydreams

Indeed the temps looking under control for the moment , but as we discuss
when i was making on paper plans for the grow rooms the temperature in the big (lung) room 70 sqm (750 sqf)
with only one 600 W installed rise about 0,5 - 1 Celsius .
It is also intresting that the 400W without cooltube versus the 600W inside a cooltube
runs the room at 3 degrees Celsius more .

Updates

I install one more passive intake to the veg room and one passive intake from veg to flower room.
Unfortunatly i do not have the luxury of time so i can build a nice lightproof
vent so i go with the old good recipe of 2*90 degrees elbows wich in my case with
250 mm diameter for the elbows do not work so good and i give it some help.
I am also planing for somehow to soundproof my exaust fan cause even if it is boxed
it sound's like a jet at takeoff and i canot support all this noise for a "photography dark room"

The young plants that lay in veg room give me some slight preflower signs so in maybe two weeks
i will move them to Flowering room .
Some of the seem to be strechy and i LST
them so i can keep them low until i put them ubder a Scrog screen.

That's all folks Happy new year

Hello i have some Updates .

I leave behind Hydro for the simple and effective Hempy's
and what is the only think that can go wrong in a hempy grow......

Timers !!!!!!

It is true the analog timmer of my flowering room fail and the lights
keep running for 1 or 2 nights in 24/0 schedule as my fu..ing timer
didn't switch them off.
I really don't know what it is going to happend to
this clones that they flowering for almost a week ,
best case is a slowdown to growth and bud development
until they realize what is going on.
Bad case is to apear some family jewels and
Worst case that i read around is that they
will not flower even after 5 weeks

... will see but i believe that they will
encounter only a slow down.


i was really very pissed and i am searching
for good reliable timers any recomendations will help a lot.


The veging plants growing fast enough to give me a headake
but cannot compare with the rdwc growth rates.I can spot some
slight defs in some plants but i don't know if i must blame
hempy's , my self or genetics i didn't continue tie them down
cause they will move soon to flower room and they are a mess

After the weekend i will hang up the second
cooltube with one more 600 Watter and i will cover with white sheeting.
i will take some clones from the veging plants and then everything
straight to the the flowering room

some photos 4 u.

the fu..ed up clones

the veg room mess

 

[hazydreams]

HOLY F*CK man . id say the hempy's are pretty effective.sorry to hear about the timer. i prefer old school analog ac timers. i think they are rated at 25amps... yet again i dont think your running 120v so you have to go with whats available. I would def say oversize the capacity for the timer and you should be fine.

good luck man, once you get the kinks worked out of the system it looks like its going to be smooth sailing.

 

[Bonavendura]

Yes it is true i am using those old fashion analog daily timers with the 15 min scale switches....and i pay for the good ones 9+ euros.
I am searching for industrial timers now cuase i am pissed that this little fu..ker fu..ed up my flowering room.....Sorry for the f.. words but i am VERY VERY pissed

 

[choch]

They are very hardy plants. I think in the end you will find that this little hiccup didn't affect them much.

Nice grow log you have going here, I'm enjoying the show.

 

[Bonavendura]

Thanks 4 your support i hope you are right.
These days they stop streching ,
maybe i discover a way to slow down the streching

 

[Bonavendura]

Hello I have some updates ,

Grow room construction is almost done temparatures
is ideal for the moment and airflow is good but i have
serious issues with high humidity.
I have Rh at 70% and night time maybe 85% wich is very
very bad . With high air exchange rates in the rooms
droping the humidity with a dehudifier it is going to be
hard cause the loung room is 70 square meters (almost 750 square feet)
and i am going to need a realy big Dehumi.
Any ideas will be handy !!!!!


In all my growing backround i encounder a lot of issues but nothing like that ,
the past week i fu _ _ ed up 7 plants that i have to flowering room.
As you can read in previous posts one timer fail and give to my flowering
plants 24/0 for one or two days.I replace the failed timer with a new one.
..............Well the new timers clock stop 5 hours after instalation
giving to my flowering plants another couple of days 24/0.
Maybe is a curse or something i canot explain.
For the moment the streching of the plants halt and i will start searching
signs of .... balls soon.


Today i cut almost 70 clones from my plants (just to keep the genetics)

I also move everything to the flowering room and i have a delima.
Scrog them or Leave them grow to strechy ungly bushes ???

If i leave them to grow free i am going to have a low production mess in my flowering room

If i scrog them .. well maybe it is too late just today i induce 12/12
and plus on that i am running something new (hempy's) and scrog will not
allow any movements any more and it is going to be hard to hand water all this
plants....

Pls guys put you opinions on this too !!

I will post some pictures from my previous session and some pictures
from the flowering room after moving those hempy's in 12/12 with a total
of 25 plants in flowering room.
Tomorrow i will post my new army of clones

Veg room before moving to flower

Flowering room with the Fu _ _ ed up plants

[hazydreams]

BV-

you can lower the RH at night by placing the Dehuey in the room and putting the fans on the same timer as the lights. that way you will only be taking care of the room RH at night.

the total RH during the lights on operation is going to be a problem. i would say that your only option is to run a large dehuey in the basement, or section off half of the lung room and only dehuey one half the volume.

 

[dubwise]

bv-sucks about the issues. I don't know if it's a total loss...I mean, you've learned a bunch I bet. I agree with hazy...get a dehumidifier up as soon as possible. I would opt for one that could handle the entire basement.

 

[Bonavendura]

@hazydreams

today i monitor RH at day and it was fine @ 56% but unfortunatly night
time RH it was 83% .Nighttime i need some airexchanges in the room too
but i can put the timer on the exaust fan working in one hour intervals
for 15 min the RH in the loung room is more or less around 60%.

@dubwise
I don't know too but the plants stressed alot this is for sure
the streching is halted , as i saw them today maybe they start bounching back.
One sure is for sure after 10 days in 12/12 giving them 4 days 24/0 i
must search fro balls.
I am looking for a big dehumie the cost is around 300 dollars



Ok here we are as i promise i have photos from my new army of seedlings
in pure perlite.Clear hempy cups inside the white foam party cups for light
profing.
As you can see almost every clone is tiny and weak cause the plants was too young to give me good clones without killing budsites.I cut 3 clones from each plant before moving them to flowering room so i can keep mothers from the phenos that i will found.

You can see also 7 clones at day 15 in the brown taped party cups that they
start rooting maybe i will lose one of them but 6 rooted from 7 clones is
a good ratio.The only backdraw is that they root slowly but maybe i was making something wrong cause my cloning skills sucks.

The new army of the tiny clones

When i was saaying weak clones i mean Weak clones
i predict that i will lose many if not most of them

The clones from a skunk mother from a friend at day 15 as you can see the party cups res is empty i will water tomorrow
i they want water they must grow roots to find it .

Roots start to apear you can see the overflow hole in the party cup too

Hello Hempiers of icmag ,

Due to my false i leave the top layer of my hempy's
with algae forming for enough time to give me some serious
signs of mold ( picture follows ) as a solution i scoop
the 1+ inch top layer of the buckets medium and i replace
with new mixture cause i am out of h202 tommorow i will spray
the with a light h202 solution.

Thinks in flowering room is going fine in general terms i am
still having those 80% RH readings at night time and i am working
for a solution for it.

The 7 plants that after a week of 12/12 take some days of 24/0
seems that they start forming buds.One thing is sure the stretch
HALTED big time.Today i make a close inspection for balls and i didn't
found something , maybe is soon i will keep watching them closely
cause one pair of balls can destroy everything in my flowering room.

I make some changes to my feeding solutions too.
I was feeding for sometime with 2,0-2,3 EC and 5,3 ph
and i realize that the plants didn't like it so i step back
at 1,5 EC and 5,6 ph.


Bad thinks that follows algae

pics from the flowering room and one from the plants
that took 24/0 while one week in flowering

 

[Bonavendura]

Hello Hempiers of icmag ,

Thinks is going fine in the Flowering
room and we are at day 7 of 12/12 .
I am now feeding every 3 days with
EC 1,4 & ph 5,6 with some runoff.

Yesterday i give a watering to the
Hempy clones.I count 1 victim so
71 more alive trying to root.
I am excepting more looses cause
this was the weakiest clones i have
ever see.

That's it for now some pics for you

I cannot take a complete pic of the room
they are some more plants below my camera

And the army of clones
