Re: Dick23rk's 1st Journal - 1st Hempy - CKS Autoflower Candy Cane & Amnesia Haze - 2

Good update Dick23rk

Should be a couple of weeks in till the roots get down to the res the first week is reasonable critical for a daily dose of nutrient/water as to stop em drying out to fast, 2nd week every other day should be ok to encourage the roots to go looking & grow down towards the res.
In the veg the res don't need to be changed to often at best every few days.
Res change of a hempy is about 10 to 25% run off to keep PH & PPM/EC suitable for growing.
In flowering every other day is good, other wise PH change, PPM levels will alter if left longer which may cause slight problems.
Anyway here's the old link to the hempy journal if you wish to take a gander - Fuzzy & the Hempy Bucket - Chrystal F1 Hybrid
Ye i know the early days of research can be quite mind boggling & some times conflicting from other stuff read, it is just working it out !
Feel free to ask questions tho & always good for a banter about stuff
Ye the auto grow was my first ever & a bit of learning curve for myself i'm not sure if i'll go back to auto's tho as i prefer photo period feminized seeds & F1 seeds mainly.

Hey again Fuzzy Duck, thanks for the bit of info. I had figured it would take a week or to again for the roots to develop and make their way to the bottom after transplanting. That is why at first I was worried about getting them transplanted early enough to the larger buckets as they have such a short life cycle. I wanted to make sure the roots had hit the res again after the up-pot before they go into flower. Here's to hoping I timed it right. I found a life cycle layout for autos that I believe Atrain had posted in one of his auto threads so that really helped me out as well.

Good to know that I don't have to change out the res water every day, seems like a lot of waste to do it every day but I understand why its critical to do so. Later this week I will start making sure the res is full and getting the runoff on days needed as you said. Each plant has been getting 500ml per day since transplant (about 1/2 around root area and other half to the rest of bucket) and they seem to be doing fine, no drooping and starving for water. Soon be time to start dumping in a gallon or so to get that res filled and flowing.

I will certainly go have a look at your journal that you linked for me and have a read thru it. Got lots of catching up on reading and posting to do as I have subscribed to some other ongoing journals that relate to my grow in some way. Also trying to help some of those people out when I can with the bit of knowledge I have from my previous grows.

I'm sure I will have lots of questions eventually, something is bound to come up or happen. Thanks again for the info and help

Welcome to Dick23rk, glad to have another from Sask. here.
The algae you see on the top of the perlite don't worry about it, it will go away next watering or as soon as the top dries out. The use of cover over the perlite media is good to keep the moisture from evaporating to quick as the roots search downward for food. I have 2 oscillating fans running and I get no algae as the top dries out quick.

Check out my link below. I'm running 100% perlite for clones, seedlings and veg, all the way through to harvest. I'm still figuring things out with my grow, I've had some problems earlier but I have it all sorted out as of now. Fingers crossed I make it to the end.

PS. I'm subbed for this grow! Best of luck

Hey hydro1000, thanks for the welcoming. It is nice to know there is some people on here from Sask. I am guessing there's more than just us? lol You in northern or southern end of the province?

Hopefully the algae issue has been taken care of. I seen a couple small spots a couple days after the transplant but I have some poly in there covering the majority of the perlite/vermiculite now. I do have a couple fans running, one for circulation at the bottom of my tent and my larger vertical one blowing fresh air into the tent which hits everything from the base of my buckets up over the canopy. Seems to be working decent while the door is open. I really need to get some sort of exhaust set up to keep my humidity down over night.

Took a quick look thru your journal yesterday but was pretty busy over the weekend as well. Will get over there and have a more thorough read and look around. I will tag along and maybe we can learn from one another with our mistakes lol. Thanks for subbing up

**Update April 5th - Day 22**

Well, things seem to still be going ok for my girls. Haven't had any other issues as of yet after the transplant and FIM. The candy cane girl that I FIM'd may have gotten shocked a little bit as the lower growth hasn't started taking off like the amnesia haze that was FIM'd. But other than this minor set back, the rest are still growing as they should.
I have come to believe that my slow growth on these autos has to do with 2 main factors.. 1 being that these girls are only growing under 12/12 light cycle for this round with my other bagseed photo experiments. And 2 being my lack of air flow and exhaust. I am doing what I can for now and hopefully by the next round of candy cane and amnesia haze I will be able to implement a new exhaust and intake system. As well by then my photoperiod girls will be done and out of there. This will also leave me with more room to work as it's pretty crowded in there.
Girls are still enjoying their intake of nutrients so far, no deficiencies that I can tell. (Micro - 2.5ml, Gro - 5ml, Bloom - 2.5ml and Armour Si - 0.25ml per gallon of water) A few of my leaves have curled slightly at the edges but I had my outside fan a little to close for them to handle so I moved it back a few feet and set it to oscillate - this should clear that up.
Only other thing to report about today is I have started the ponytail technique with the top growth to try and get my lower growth some more light to help them get a move on. Also temporarily hung my 2 - 54w T5's (6400k) down nice and close to the girls for added light to lower growth. This was sort of tricky at first but I think I got the hang of it now. I certainly didn't want to hurt or stress the ladies out by doing this, after the first one was figured out it wasn't so bad. I just ended up using some of my twisty ties and gently wrapped it around the top growth and pulled it sort of tight until it would hold the leaves up and the twisty tie wouldn't fall off. Will keep an eye on them to make sure they don't fall off or something and keep this up for 5 or 6 hours a day as needed.

Anyways, here are the pics of all the girls. I also have thrown in a few bud porn pics just for fun as I found a couple of them were looking nice. Light one up and enjoy the show!


Here is everyone hanging out with their added light after being ponytailed. (Forgot to have flash on for this one so it seems dark, need flash on for the new settings I applied on the camera for light exposure)

This is Amnesia #1 - Had to train down the lower leaves on this girl as they were praying to the lights and shading the growth below them.

And he taller girl Amnesia #2 - Lower growth is really starting to take off after being FIM'd. This one was easiest to ponytail by far with the larger top leaves.

Here we have Candy #1 - Lower growth is also taking off on this girl, which leads me to believe that possibly Candy Canes may not like to be FIM'd or topped.

With Candy #2 - this was the FIM'd girl, and as you can see that lower growth really hasnt done much at all. This girl may have gotten stressed some from the FIM or possibly the transplant.


Here are those pictures of my bagseed buds for fun. (No added nutes, all same unknown strain, playing with stress factors and grown in pro mix potting soil)

This bud is getting some nice resin production

I really liked these couple of buds, the pistils have all been standing straight out instead of curled like all the others.

This is on one of the plants that I experimented with topping and some lst, worked out good for first time.


That is all for today everyone, don't think I left anything out. As always, Best of luck and take care all.

Re: Dick23rk's 1st Journal - 1st Hempy - CKS Autoflower Candy Cane & Amnesia Haze - 2

Oooook so here comes a totally newb question... you are growing with no soil at all? Just straight perlite and vermiculite? Is that what makes it a hempy bucket? Sorry in advance if the answer is obvious. Hahah.

Oooook so here comes a totally newb question... you are growing with no soil at all? Just straight perlite and vermiculite? Is that what makes it a hempy bucket? Sorry in advance if the answer is obvious. Hahah.

Yep that's right CDMedz, the original hempy bucket was done this way. Since it was thought up people have come up with their own variations of a hempy bucket as well. Some people use coco coir/perlite, hydroton/perlite, some people will do it the original way and put a soil or coco cap at the top of the bucket as well. There are many different ways to do it, its all about what works best for the grower or what is cost affective or available to them at the time. Only thing about growing this way is that all these mediums aside from soil are inert and do not have any nutrients for the plant what so ever. This being said, you would have to buy a line of nutrients such as a 2 or 3 part line that you mix together in your water for feedings which contain the main nutrients the plants thrive on (N-P-K) plus others that are in each bottle. For example, the nutrients I am using are GH Micro/Gro/Bloom plus Armour Si as an additive.
It takes quite a bit of reading to get up to date with the topic of hempy buckets. Took me 2 or 3 weeks to really get it down with all the research I did between the hempy bucket collective thread and learning more about nutrients than I already knew. This is my first go at it and I had a 4 for 4 success rate on getting my girls growing so I am pleased with my start. Yes my plants are pretty small for being 3 weeks but I am also not growing in near perfect conditions as well as starting my autos in 12/12 light cycle due to my photoperiod girls in the same tent. Hoping next go around after harvest will be much better.
Hope this sums it up for ya. If you are still interested just search the topic within the forum, there is lots of information around about this method and other variations. I have grown in soil quite a few times (mostly outdoors) and have also tried coco indoors once. So now I decided to try this passive hydro idea with the hempy buckets and see how it works for me. One thing I can say, is that it is much cleaner in my mind dealing with these mediums over soil. But everyone has their own favorites and what works best for them. I just decided to do some experimenting

Re: Dick23rk's 1st Journal - 1st Hempy - CKS Autoflower Candy Cane & Amnesia Haze - 2

Yes, that is about what I had thought, but you clarified it nicely. I would be interested in trying something like this myself after I get a couple soil grows under the belt. Few questions just for my own curiosity if you don't mind. Is your medium retaining the nutrients well? Are you getting a lot of run off with each water? Are are you having to water frequently?

No I don't mind at all. We are all here to help one another out right? And it's good that you're interested in trying new things with growing! The more willingness a person has to learn the more they will succeed. As for my medium, the perlite doesn't really hold on to much at all, it can have some water/nutrients sit in the pockets of the crushed perlite. It's the vermiculite that retains the moisture and nutrients. It acts like a wick, pulling up water and nutrients from the reservoir at the bottom and also grabbing the water as you feed. Most of your nutrients will sit at the bottom in the reservoir where the roots will drink from once they reach down there. After i transplanted to the 5gal buckets I did not bother going for run off right away as I had to wait for the roots to reach down to the bottom again. So for the majority of the week I just fed each bucket with 500ml each, half around the roots and other half around the outside edges. I watered once daily for the first 3 or 4 days (no need for more than once because of the vermiculite) and then I didnt water yesterday as things were still moist with some water sitting in the reservoir (tipped bucket to find this out) By not giving them water yesterday it gives the roots a chance to reach out and go searching for more water. Will feed them again this afternoon during their ponytail session and I think I might go for 15 - 20% runoff from the reservoir today to try and refresh the nutrients that have been sitting there and pull some extra oxygen in ( when feeding, the gravitational pull from the water will draw in oxygen to the root zone)

Hope all this makes sense, I'm surprised I got all this out so easily without confusing myself since I just woke up and haven't had my toke yet haha. Any more questions just feel free to ask, I certainly dont mind helping out where I can!

Will be back later this afternoon with an update for everyone! I seen some nice growth when I peeked my head in this morning and was very surprised!! The roots may have hit the res now.

Hey buddy, thanks for stopoing in on the journal... tis weird about my candy canes stretching like crazy. I think I would do autos again but only autos. the way I did it was 4 different strains and only 1 strain (2plants) was autos so they are kinda screwing with me do to my room size and the other plant sizes. So all autos or no autos not mixing photo and auto again. Again all look good. Can't wait to see our harvests

Yes, yours are looking great, we also have lots of different variables in our grows which could make a big difference. Hoping my next ones will be a big change since they will be under 18/6 light cycle. I have the same thing going on as you with my photoperiods in with the autos. Better to have 2 seperate tents really.. maybe some day

**Update - April 7th - Day 24**

Hello everyone, hope all is going well in your parts of the world. So far things are going good over here. The girls had some good growth over night. After ponytailing all of them the last few days, that lower growth has really shot up. Last night it seemed there was no real shoots developing yet, then when I got up this morning and poked my head in I noticed the shoots had grown quite a bit. Possibly my roots are reaching the bottom of the bucket now as well so this would be great!

Today while I was putting the ponytails on the girls I was taking an even closer look at them and I noticed 2 pistils starting to poke out on Amnesia #2! I was pretty excited in a sense but I wouldn't have minded 1 more week of veg growth where they are still small. But, on the other hand, I did read in an autoflowers cycle that there can be a good stretch around weeks 4 and 5. So lets hope this is the case.

The girls nutrients were upped to week 3 on the schedule I am using, ph still sits right around 6.0 and today I gave each bucket 2 liters of nutrient water to try and get all the medium soaked, bring in oxygen, and get some good run off. There wasn't much at all in the reservoirs when I checked this morning as I let them go close to 2 full days with no watering to get the roots working downward for water. The 2 I didn't get much run off from after sitting a while from the feeding I gave a little tip to the side to get some more run off and then topped up.

Their feedings for nutrients - unless i start to see any signs of nute burn or toxicities - are now as follows:
Micro - 5ml, Gro - 10ml, Bloom - 3ml and Armour Si - 0.5ml
(Hopefully they take this well, if not I will flush and lower nutrients to 3/4 strength)
I have been back to running full strength for almost a week I think. Can't remember the day I got back up to that strength.

At present my temperatures and RH are: Day time w/ door open - 24C / 40%RH
(Early morning when door is still closed it can get to 30C / 65%RH)
Night time w/ door closed - 18C / 70-75% RH
(Really need to get an exhaust system, will try to add some ports
around the top of the tent for during the night to keep RH lower)

That's pretty much it for today guys. Will try to keep ponytailing for the next few days before the girls get to far into their flowering. Would like to get them shoots up higher with the main top. Any suggestions exactly when I should stop doing this?

And here is your daily dose of pictures!! Couldn't get one of the pistils yet but will try for next update, they should be more noticeable by then.


Amnesia #1 - Lower growth is starting to take off, hopefully be able to just tuck the fan leaves behind the shoots soon and stop ponytailing

Amnesia #2 - This is the girl showing a couple of pistils now and shoots had the most growth overnight compared to the others, will have to stop ponytailing this one soon.

Candy #1 - She had a fair bit of lower growth over night as well. The shorty is looking good.

Candy #2 - Lower growth is finally starting to take off on this girl. I think her stunting is done with now.

And here is all 4 Crop King Seeds girls sitting together under the lights with their advertising!

Best of luck all and take care!!

Ok, so you mentioned the reservoir. I notice that now in your pics, a detail I had previously missed when reading through before. I'm just going to back you up a tad there just to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Are you filling the reservoir and watering from bottom up, or are you watering from the top and allowing the reservoir to fill with runoff, or both? Not grilling! Just want to make sure I understand your method here.. I really am intrigued, I'd like to try it.

Yep, you can FIM and top autos. Just has to be done before they start flowering which is usually within 3 to 4 weeks. A guy on this forum named Atrain has a great thread on autos and topping/FIM'ing, have a look for it.. I just got some pistils starting to show on 1 of my amnesia hazes yesterday, and another couple on 1 of my candy canes this morning. Almost time to stop my ponytailing no as well by the looks of it. I will stop in at your journal and take a look around. Thanks for stopping in and best of luck!

Just want to make sure I understand your method here.. I really am intrigued, I'd like to try it.

Not a problem! The bucket is watered from the top just like most average setups or soil grows (there are many ways to feed your plants) and where the perlite (80%) does not retain water, the majority of if runs down thru and to the bottom of the bucket. I have 2 holes drilled at the bottom of the bucket, 2 inches up from the bottom, and this acts as my reservoir. The bottom 3 inches of my buckets are 100% perlite and then the rest is filled with around a 5:1 mix of perlite/vermiculite. Once you water/feed, let the bucket sit in a drop tray so that your run off will come out the holes and into the tray. This is considered a drain to waste system where the extra runoff is then discarded. Reason for the run off is to try and flush out old nutrients that weren't used up as well as any dissolved salts that may be building up inside. This will also keep your ppm/ec at an acceptable level for the plants by always replenishing and flushing.

There is a ton of info out there about the hempy style of growing and lots of different variations of it. I researched for a couple of weeks just going and reading thru threads on the topic and journals that people made using hempys. I like the idea of them, very clean and easy to use. Virtually impossible to over water. The only thing that holds water in my buckets is the vermiculite (20%) and now with my reservoirs filled I could let them for for 2 or 3 days without watering. The water from the bottom will wick up some as well.

Hope this makes sense for ya. Sometimes I wonder how well I am actually explaining things haha.

**Update - April 9th - Day 26**

Hello again everyone! It's that time again for another update. Today was a good day, things are moving along well. The girls all took their upping of nutrients very well, no nute burns or toxicities yet, leaves are a nice green color as well. They have not been fed since my update on day 24 when they got their first 2 liter soaking, will check on the reservoirs tomorrow and see how full they are and will likely feed each girl 1 liter at a time until I achieve at least 10% run off. (Still using same strength and week schedule for nutrients) I will plan on going with veg nutrients for at least another week until pre-flowers start showing, then I will gradually introduce them to the bloom schedule to their liking.

Today 3 of the 4 girls showing pistils - Amnesia #1 and #2 as well as Candy #1

I have stopped ponytailing Amnesia #2, she is starting to stretch and getting more light. She was the first to show any pistils and is starting to harden up as well, so I feel it may be time to leave her be and do her thing. The other 3 still had a ponytail session today and I will see what their lower growth is looking like tomorrow and decide if they get another day or 2, or not. Candy #2 was slow starting her growth again after transplant and isn't showing any pistils yet so she will keep being done until I am satisfied.

Otherwise these girls are starting their stretch a little I think, things are starting to fill in nicely even though they are really small plants still. They are definitely looking a fair bit bigger in the last few days. Starting to get a bit of a sweet aroma from them when you get up close or brush your fingers around them. All in all, things are happy in my world. Lets hope it keeps up this way. Picture time!!


Here is all 4 of my Crop King girls

Amnesia #1 - Decent undergrowth still happening, needs to catch up still though

Amnesia #1 Top View - Nice and lush color of green

Amnesia #2 - Fan leaves are getting a lot bigger and has the best undergrowth of all 4 plants

Amnesia #2 Top View - Fan leaves have darkened up more than the newer growth on the plant but still healthy

Amneisa #2 - Pistils showing on the node 2nd shoot down on the right, may be hard to see but they are there.

Candy #1 - Growth has really picked up at the lower nodes on this girl. The leaves look slightly curled from ponytailing, nothing to worry about.

Candy #1 Top View - Also has a nice lush green color and starting to get more broad.

Candy #2 - The slow starter after transplant. Shoots are developing at lower nodes but are small and thin.

Candy #2 Top View - Again leaves looking curled on this girl, not sure they care for the ponytailing but it's not really affecting the plant or leaves otherwise.


Props and big thanks to Crop King Seeds for these nice genetics here. I am definitely pleased with these plants even considering my grow space isn't completely ideal. I would still recommend these to a friend!

Also thanks to all that have helped me out and answered any questions I've had so far on this great forum.
As well as the guys that make work the way it does

That's it for today everyone. As always, best of luck and take care!

Yeah, I am hoping that both strains will take a good growth spurt. The Amnesia #2 is taking off, she has been the quickest grower and easiest to work with. If they all double in size or more I will be pleased given the conditions of my setup for now. But this round is all about getting back into the swing of things and learning way more than I knew before about indoor growing. The girls look happy and that's what makes me happy!

Thanks, they are starting to grow faster now. Bit slow taking off, but again that is likely my growing conditions. Not completely sure how the roots are doing yet. I haven't seen any poking down around the reservoir when I look in the drain holes but when I watered yesterday some of the perlite pushed away in an area close to the stem and I seen lots of nice white roots in there branching out. So I covered them back up and put her away lol Starting to get a bit of a sweet smell from both strains when you get up nice and close to them. Will start getting more distinct smells very soon, only 1 of 4 left to show pistils!
