I'm probably going to have to clip those top two fan leaves. Maybe some stuff low down too, but we'll see about that.

Had to tuck her biggest fan leaves behind her newer growth, and shift her out a bit from the wall of the tent.
Both of those things happened after I took the pics.

I saw signs of a slight magnesium shortage on the fans, so I'm adding in some mag nitrate in their next feeding tomorrow. We should see if that's the right call pretty quickly.
I'm wondering about something I read in one of the hempy journals. A grower mentioned someone who had used aquarium gravel as a hempy medium.
It made me think about the big bag of all-purpose gravel I have in the garage. The stones are around 1cm³. If I mixed it thoroughly with perlite, could I use it as the growing media for an outdoor hempy? Would it add enough weight and stability?
I'll ask in the hydro section later if nobody here has any thoughts.
Could be a fun experiment.

Yes

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Sorry for forgetting...

Yeah boiiiiiii!

Thanks Tra!

Lookin great

Thanks Roy!

Yes

And thanks again!
I think I'll try it next summer. I'll have to figure out a way to keep rain out of the pots, but that shouldn't be too hard.

I think that would be a good experiment. On the surface the two look quite similar in size and shape, but the perlite is lighter with air chambers inside whereas your gravel is denser.

Also the wicking capability might be different as well.

Could you maybe set up a side by side experiment in solo cups or something and test the wicking capabilities using food coloring? Might give you some data before committing to using it in a grow.

Fed both today, and I'm looking at moving them into the 60x120cm tent.
I have delayed so far as I was expecting a new light in October, but it looks like that's on hold for now.
I was going to be moving them down there anyway when I get started on the Black Sugar comparative grow.

I'm going through the thread now. Some interesting stuff in there.

I think that would be a good experiment. On the surface the two look quite similar in size and shape, but the perlite is lighter with air chambers inside whereas your gravel is denser.

Also the wicking capability might be different as well.

Could you maybe set up a side by side experiment in solo cups or something and test the wicking capabilities using food coloring? Might give you some data before committing to using it in a grow.

If I do use the gravel it would be mixed in with the perlite. The perlite I'm using is much finer than the gravel, so I'm just wondering how it might affect the wicking action.
The other use I have for it is to put it in a 5 gallon fabric pot surrounding and stabilizing a 7 litre hempy outdoors.
I would have to figure out a way to stabilize a plant in there against the wind, but I do have an idea or two.

Uhm.
Not sure what happened but it looks like I somehow put pics from Friday up for the Jack Herer
Here are the right ones.

Last pics from this tent.
It's just too small for two plants, especially when one of them is as wide as this Jack Herer.
Yes, they're looking a little pale. I'm switching them both to daily feeding as of tonight.

Very nice colors bro! Plants look great

 

[Roy Growin]

Beautiful plants Mel
I know it sounds criminal, but cutting some of those large fan leaves can help to form a more even canopy
JH colas grow all up the stem so you want 8-12 solid branches - sod the leaves for now, they'll grow back
Just food for thought

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

They sure need their space Mel. Crazy growth!

I've never given a second thought to doing a hempy grow...until now!

I actually did clip a couple of them, but not the top set of large ones...yet.

They sure need their space Mel. Crazy growth!

The deciding factors for me, were the growth rate, and not needing to ph the feed. Otherwise I would have tried coco. I'm glad I went with hempy.

Well, technically. But aren't both apples and bananas just fruit?

I'm a little concerned about the overnight humidity, but I'm not entirely sure my hygrometer is accurate. It was reading 78% when I opened the tent this evening.
It's a cheap one that came in the fan kit I bought years ago, and I think it's due for replacement.

Good thing to double check that before you're loaded with flowers!

Oxidizers will help remove any biofilm or algae growth in hydro. Algae deprives oxygen and worsen aeration and gives a spot for root rot and other pathogens to grow. Some people cover the surface but it's not needed in a "sterile" grow environment.

I've used regular bleach for 15+ years in hydro and won't grow without it. The calculator and recommendations are in my signature.
