Fun With 2L Hempies! - It Has What Plants Crave!

Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

thanks for the info, the more i can find out the better my hempies will be, its the first time i have tried growing them this time, so if i get it sorted and get an ok yield then i may do a room full,
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

hmmm im torn, I won't be able to defoliate the plants tomorrow as scheduled....its either today or Sat.....there are some real short ones that arent wanting to take off so I am thinking of waiting to 2 extra days, see if they will gain a couple inches. Any thoughts or suggestions?
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

I thought 21 and 45 were a rule of thumb, not exact (although it appears many here treat it as such). IMHO, some plants grow slower, so why should they be defoliated right at 21 when the vigorous plants are getting whacked? They don't look ready, so why pull leaves? Again, I'm no pro, so maybe others will chime in. I would wait on the underdeveloped ones.

so the big leaves are the fan leaves so i leave all the smaller leaves that will normally become fan leaves, then at day 45 i prune again removing the big fan leaves and leaving the smaller but making sure to leave the top and bottom biggest fan leaves,

reps for the advice on the pruning, what about branches, how do you decide what stays and what goes, i all ready removed 2 lower ones as they was getting long so took them and turned them into clones, but i have another 2 bottom branches im not sure about, i just put some pics up, the upper branches are all flowering at the stem, but the 2 lowest set are nearly 2 inches long, i dont mine keeping them as long as im not affecting over all yield

Well from what i have gathered when running a SOG like i am you want to make each plant a single cola, so i cut all side branches off....sort of. A few of side branches were really short and very tight to the main stalk so it looks like they will actually form as part of the super fat cola....I could be wrong though so I will see.

Flowering Day 22 Purple Widow

Aloha guys, here we are on day 22 and the ladies are looking all fresh and happy after haircuts......I really think I am dialing in on these hempies the only thing I need to figure out now is how the hell to get them all as an even canopy. I have one plant I think that is 6 inches tall and others that are more along the 16 inch mark right now.....I really need to figure out the stretch of these. I think its really showing how well some roots were developed vs others mainly from clone to transplant. Ohh and btw that 6 inch plant has 13 budsites on it.....it will be small but a cheese wheel I see!! And now for the bud porn....i cant believe the trichs im seeing already.

Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

looking really good mate, mine are in flower and buds are starting to form properly now, i grew mine 12-12 from seed so im not sure how this is going to affect yield, i know the plants need to age before showing sex and going into flower, and clones are all ready to go into flower, so im not sure if the 2ltr from seed will yield more the the 2ltr clones, but im sure im about to find out. i have also got height issues, i have only got 1 2ltr dwc hempie growing and its twice as tall as my plants in 3gallon pots so it has grown a lot quicker than the normal plants in pots, height wise anyway,

i took 2 branches off mine the other day as they was getting big, all the upper branches are budding at the stem but i have 2 sets of lower branches that are between 1 inch and 2 long so im not sure if i need to leave these or not, but if they stay where they are they will add to the main cola, but if the grow bigger then they will be bud sites on their own, its my first attempt so i can change things next time, im possibly thinking of a grow room full, i recon i could easily fit between 75 and 100 in their, as long as i kept them 1 stem i could get that many in, but ill see how this one goes.

thanks for the info and if mine end up half as good as yours then ill be so chuffed,

i just put some pics up of mine, not sure if you have seen them yet, maybe you could give me advice on what to do about the bottom branches

hi, looks like you been with the site a while, have you done many journals, im coming over to have a look at the one in your signature, im subd to that many now it takes hours to go through them all, are you planning on doing 100 2ltr hempies then, just normal hempies or the dwc hempies
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

skyrocket, the link in your signature dont work it just takes you to all the site info and not a journal, give it a try you may need to re-post the link
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

Got to thinking today and I think I am going to try just a few 1 Liter Hempy DWC. I was thinking since the 2LH-DWC grows a good chunk bigger than the normal, what is we took the 2LH-DWC and scaled it down to a 1 liter bottle? I figure if you can get the same yield as a regular 2LH in a 1LH-DWC why not do it, you can fit a significant amount more bottles in, and the DWC part allows for more root mass obviously. Now i just measured a 1l bottle at 3 inches.... so in my tent I could fit 72 of them as opposed to 32 2 Liters....and again this is all rough rough math but if i can fit 72 and get them to yield 10 grams a plant....thats 720 grams in my 2x4 tent or 1.6 lbs. Yea im testing a couple of 1LH-DWC....has anyone else thought of or tried 1 liters in either standard hempy or modified Hempy-DWC? If so what have you found? I am guessing not a lot has been tested on the 1LH-DWC since 2LH-DWC is still in high testing mode.

I've only done one journal and It was aeroponics. Yeah I'll fix my sig this weekend so that you can view my past journal. I also grow in dwc wich is my favorite. Yes I'm going to attempt to do 100 2ltr hempies in a secret jarden 5x10 tent with co2 under two 1000 watt 8" xxl magnum hoods. My strain will be DNA's holy grail kush.
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

sounds like a good idea, as long as their is enough space for the roots in the bottom piece where the res is, in theory it should yield the same, nice thinking, my 2ltr dwc hempie has got pretty much a whole bottle as the res so plenty of space for roots but i think it would work with 1 ltr hempies, not sure if it wasnt a dwc type but dwc type should produce the same as it will still be able to get taller, so if were cutting off the side ways growth then it wont matter if the pot is smaller in width would it, it might even restrict the sideways growth as the roots wont be able to spread out so much so might not even need to cut any branches off as they may stay very close to the stem, sounds like a good idea to me
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

i was speaking to teSmo about the 1tr hempie idea, i think the dwc 2ltr hempie would work, not sure about normal hempy though but is possible, with the 1ltr dwc the only problem teSmp commented about was the temp of the liquid, as it is in a more confined space then temps could become a problem, but as long as the temps where stable in the res then their should be no reason why it wont work, my next flower round im giving it a go, ill go 12-12 from seed with a fem seed and see what happens
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

Mmmm. Fiji.
 
Re: Fun w/ 2L Hempies! Featuring BPN: It Has What Plants Crave!

sounds like the test is about to begin, the only issues another member mentioned was the temp getting high, so as long as thats is kept in check and the pots have air moving around them then i think this will work ok, it may even cut the over all grow space down without cutting the yield down, the hempies dont grow wide anyway and when they do we prune them, so having less space for the roots to expand width ways should help stop the plant getting big branches on them, im hoping this really works, in theory it sounds like a brilliant idea, cant wait to see how it all turns out i could do a grow then with 1ltr dwc hempies and also some plants in pots and it would not take up as much space,
