OUT FUCKING STANDING!!!!!!!!!



1# dry my guess. thats one hell of a job there bonavendura. +rep

ps. fucking stellar job.

 

[Bonavendura]

Thanks .... but i think that you are very optimistic i except 1/2 Pound maybe .
This week i am choping 4 more SK and 2 top44 while next week 12 AK's coming
down @ 11 weeks 12/12 and they look heavy

 

[w2008]

nice grow there, i think around 6-7 oz, good luck cheers from oz

 

[HighDesertJoe]

SWEET looks good man nice job.

Hello Hempiers of icmag ,

Well after 8 days i have dry weights for you.
The buds transfered to class jars for curing and
dry weiths is 346 grams (12,2 Ounce) .

Yesterday we chop 6 more ladies TOP44+SSkunks and
i will post some pics for you.

Next week 12 AK's coming down and they are looking
heavy , 2 more weeks maybe until the completion of this
log from build to harvest.

 

[Bonavendura]

Hello Hempiers of icmag ,

After a few months my grow log is coming near the end.
It was a grow log that i own to the community cause some
time before i inspired from this forum.


The 12,2 ounches form the 7 first plants , curing
in glass jar's @ 24 Celsius and 55% RH.
As i told you in the previous post one week before we chop
down 6 ladies Top44+SSkunks they are hanged in the lower
section and they need 2 - 3 more days drying.
And as i promise you yesterday and today we chop down
12 Heavy AK's and they are hang in the midle and higher
section of the closet.

I will post some pictures of some buds & jars that they will
consumed this summer .

Any dry weight's estimation will be fun cause we have more
than 10 Ounche dry weights etsimation disagreement with my partner.

p.s he won in the previous estimation.


I will be back with dry weights and some dry bud shots.

Murdered ladies , you can spot how the tall ones pulled down

Random pics Before the hang up

Inside the drying Closet

Lower section they will remain 2 more days (you can spot the class jars curing)

MIdle section AK's only

Higher Section AK's only

Trying for the complete harvest image

Hempy buckets after doing the job.

The next generation vegging maybe 10 days more

The next generation flowering more than a month more
7 ladies enjoy plenty of space and 1200W hps
they will move under the 400W
when the 19 young come for flowering.

Thats it for now Hempiers i have some conclusions about growing in Hempy's
but i will share later for the momment i can admit that the harder work is .. trimming.

 

[hazydreams]

spectacular..... i think you hit a home run man.

 

[Bonavendura]

Hello Hempiers of icmag ,

4 months from sprout and already 200+ grams of
fine quality bud consumed .
5 months from the beginning of this forum with
only on paper plans available.

2*600 HPS flowering 25 plants in Hempy's

1*400 HPS added above the 7 plants SK#1 the last
30 days of flowering.

7 sad clones sk#1 from a friends mother
harvested at 15/3 dry weights 350 grams (12,3 ounces)

And the following go to the jars few days before

4 * sK#1 bigger dry weights 76,6 grams (2,7 ounces)
12 * AK's bigger dry weights 67,3 grams (2,4 ounces)
2 * Top44 bigger dry weights 67,3 grams (2,4 ounces)

Final dry weights 1250 grams (2,7 pounds)


Overall satisfied with Hempies they are easy
and they produce fair .

The plants vegged for 3 weeks and they grow naturally
and untrained.The few trained was the heavier ones.

Waterings every 3 days i leave them without water
for 5 days with no real probs.



About hempy's vs hydro .

With hempy's you running trouble free and with lower
initial setup cost's plus on this ...

NO chillers ,

NO airpumps ,

NO Water pumps ,

NO WORRIES .


On the other hand watering 25 Hempy's every 3 days
with some runoff ....... well it is not HARD work but
it is some work versus NO work in hydro.

Production of Hempy's is fair but it is not even close to Hydro ,
same SK#1 clones ,
same veg time
a bit of training more
in my friends Rdwc setup produce the following

bigger plant dry weights 120 grams (4,23 ounches)


Finaly it is worth it ???

Yes , i am already flowering and vegging the new crop


I will post some jar pics tommorow
for closing this thread .

 

[hazydreams]

bona......

2.7 pounds....

you did absolutely spectacular man...

i was thinking that with a res some flexible tubing and a timer you could automate feeding. then there would be Zero to do...... i dont know if you want it to be that autonomous tho. you might forget its growing.....

 

[Bonavendura]

Hello hazy i was thinking the exact same imporvments .....
one 50 gallon res with automated feeding plus
some flexible tubing to each bucket so i can catch the runoff .

.........and why not build some rdwc or uc buckets again
after the tubing i was missing only chiller,airpumps,waterpump..
Hydro is addiction ha ???
with all that space 4,5 square meter (48,5 square feet)
dedicated for flowering i can run 12 - 20 buckets and
try for 4 pounds dry.

I will stick to classic Hempy's for somewhile.
I am not satisfied with my growing for the AK's
In previous crop(harvested one) i have 12 different plants
i make a selection of 5 or 6 plants for this crop and i hope
that in the following crop i am going to run monocrope
from the better one AK pheno and i will manage
to give them what they need....
one SK#1 pheno outyield AK's this is not normal
i need some improvements on AK's

the plant count save us , we consume a lot
of dry bud and we are closing down for summer
after this run so we must fill our jars...

 

[Bonavendura]

Well Hempiers of icmag a Hempy grow log from start
to finish is over.

Conclusion Hempy's can do it ... with some work .

Todays work repeated twice a week as an example

watering to 19 flowering plants + mom 40 liters
watering to 7 flowering plants 15 liters
check-fix training for the vegging plants.

Sum 2 hours of full job without stoping even for a minute ...
ok i stop for some pics for you.

well here how everything start @ November 12 of 2010

here is the first clones coming inside the growroom @ November 23 of 2010

here is the seeds starting germination @ November 24-29 of 2010

here is the final product 1250 (2,7 pounds) grams minus 200+ grams (0,5 pound) consumed (1+1/2 jars) @ April 10 of 2011

here is 7 SK#1 flowering in the veg area under 400 HPS @ April 10 of 2011

and finaly here is 19 pants + mom vegging ...
in the flowering area under 1200 HPS @ April 10 of 2011

after this crop we are closing down for summer with enough bud curing in our jars.


Special thanks to Hazy for his positive vibes all the way throu this grow. C a Hempiers of icmag hope this log inspire someone to go Hempy style.

Very impressive. Do you always pull 1 Gram per watt that easily? What's the most you've harvested from 1200 watts?

 

[dynamitejack]

I like what you've done here. I'm pretty interested in running hempys after doing hydro for awhile.

If I can suggest a few things for your grow based on what I've experienced.
1.) Spacing: If you are going to be growing such large plants you really should grow less. Plants get super stressed when they are touching. Also, since you are using 600w instead of 1000w you lose penetration deep into the canopy. So if you were to train your plants and keep your grow at around 1 plant per sq ft, I guarantee you will have an increase in yields.

2.)C02: Why don't you have C02 set up in your rooms??? You are missing out BIG time without proper C02 supplementation. Get C02 in your veg and flower rooms pronto! It's really easy to find a used tank on craigslist and a regulator is about $150.

3.) Nutrients: House and Garden is a beast of a nutrient line. It's super concentrated so its really a pretty good deal for what your getting. Plus they have a late flowering booster called Shooting Powder that adds 20% more weight in the last two weeks. I've also seen people do their runs with Sensi Grow A+B & Sensi Bloom A+B from Advanced Nutrients without additives and improved quantity and quality of their bud over GH.

4.) Clones: Use Grodan 1" Rockwool cubes for cloning, it's so easy! Take your clone scrape the stem about an inch from the cut. Dip it in a root gel (Clonex, Roottech, Olivas) and stick it in a rock wool cube that has been soaked for a few minutes. Cut all the fan leaves in half and put them in a humidome. Then like magic rooted clones within 10 days.

Peace.

Well i was thinking to stop posting in this log but cause it was complete fromstart to finish , you digg it up so i will throw some updates . The grow rooms closing down in maybe 3 weeks and the 7 plants already harvested.19 more to go.


@Neuronaut

I am not thinking that the 1 gram per watt is a good measure .
It depends form the veg time too , total days until harvest.

One think that i notice is that the available Space helps alot i run 18 plants
in 2,5 square metes under the 2*600 that they give me 800 grams i think ,
wich is 0,65 per gram .Plus on this i run 7 plants on the side that they give
me 350 more grams. Is the plant count that give the 1 gram per watt.plus on this
i hang up one more 400 watter over the side 7 plants the last 4 months.
so tell me my gramm per watt ??? (it must be gramm/watt*days*space or something like that)

On this run i maybe will yield better cause i run only the best 4 phenos from
the previous crop.

@dynamitejack

1) I don't think that i run large plants but they sure touching and tagling a lot.
on the other hand i run 18 plants in 1,20m * 2,40m wich is almost 36 square meters
wich means 1 plant per 2 square feet.

2) You are right about this next year i will seal this bitch !!


3) i am thinking all the time to try something else from GH but EVERY single time
i tell , i will try next time.

4) indeed in all my growing carrier i have issues with cloning rockwool and every other method but i think that i will stick to my new DIY bubble cloner , works roots in 7-10 days easy.


some photo updates

the 7 partial plants harvested already

19 plants under 1200 Watt

 

[MaynardG_Krebs]

Bon, nice work. I've been considering trying a couple Hempys. Your thread covered a lot of material in a small space... Hope things are well....
