Meh I wish they’d even left some trim…. But heh thats a good ”trick”.No apologies necessary my friend.
Let that be a lesson to people in apartment buildings.
Take some trim and rub it on all the fire doors in your apartment then all the doors on your floor.
After a while they will get fed up and fek off.
Sprinkle it everywhere to confuse their dogs.
I'm just glad you are safe.
Bill
Hi Paul and Andrea!
I appreciate your support.Thanks Braddah
All of your support means a lot.
Good morning my friend.Meh I wish they’d even left some trim…. But heh thats a good ”trick”.
How are you doing my brother?
Hi Paul and Andrea!
Wifey got over it pretty fast as I took all the charges to my neck although both of our names are on the lease.
Well I’m still feeling pretty shit. The mental loss really made a deep wound in me.
Thanks Braddah

Well… Back to the game, back to the basis. The rebuild from the scratch - rise like a phoenix (hopefully)
Cops didn’t touch my seed collection - because and fortunately, the seed collecting is no longer illegal in Finland. So I had still some spare beans. And Gorilla Glue is still THE strain which I really want to try and grow.
Strains are:
- 2x FastBuds GG#4 Autoflower
- 1x @Barney's Farm Gorilla Glue autoflower
And whats the best choice regarding my current loss-loss situation, than Hempy buckets! Cheap, silent, easy to maintain and money efficient option. @FelipeBlu Would be super cool if could keep an eye on, at least one eye, half opened, on my first hempy experiment.
Hempy-style buckets:
- 2x 5L (a bit over gallon) Buckets:
• Full capacity 5L / Pot height: 9"
• 1L ”reservoir” / hole 1.5" from the bottom & reservoir filled with Hydroton
• Bottom layer (2/3) is filled with #2 perlite and top layer is fine #1 perlite
Res layer:
Mid layer:
Top layer / ready for transplant:
Medium is 100% perlite.
- 1x 2L Coco/perlite Hempy bucket:
• 70/30 mix of coco/#2 perlite
• Reservoir hole 1" from the bottom / res capacity ~0.35L
• Res filled with Hydroton
FastBuds Glues are planted in 5L Hempys and Barney’s GG in 2L Hempy.
4/11/2022 FastBuds GG’s six days above ground and Barney’s Glue on day 4:
The current ”grow corner” is made from the tent floor parts and left overs that cops left. Notice, this is a temporary solution untill the plants starts to flower/smell. I’ll be upgrading as needed and buying a new tent, carb filter & ventilation in 3-4 weeks.
- passive intake: 125mm tube attached to mount duct so I can let cool CO2 rich air in for the plants.
Looks kinda poor right now, lol.
Current lighting is 2x 100W flood LED panels (4000K/warm white color temp).
Those panels having a small and shitty heat sinks above so mounted a computer fans to make them cool better.
Theyre 20" above the plants and getting 450-470ppfd to the ”hotspots” with Photone app.
For the flowering I’m considering to switch into Cool tubed 250W HPS (2700K color temp). The bulb is only used for one round, about 8-9 weeks. Only thing is the Cool tube, fan and carb filter wont fit horizontally in 2x2 tent (thats the size I was planning to put them in), as the cooltube is already 20" wide… Maybe if I manage to find 2.5x2.5 tent, then that’d be a good option, but not the most traditional size.
Some decent 100-200W full spectrum or ~3500K QB Led would be the best - but aint spending many hundos for this growth.
Rebuilding feels shit, mark my words.
But we’ll see if we can pull out something out of this.
Thanks for the support my 420fam!

That warms my heartGood morning my friend.
I was so happy so hear from you this morning.
I'm just glad your ok.
And don't have bars blocking your view.
Good luck Mucker, we are all rooting for Ya.
Stay safe
Bill
You’re sucha great person Bill! Wish we actually meet some day
Hey LKABudMan! First thing I noticed a new title below your name
I bet very well deserved, and it’s only the first of many! 
Aloha Felipe! I’ve actually missed you and our conversationsGood to see you back, Verb!
And trying hempy!
First hempy tip:
I usually don’t start my plants in such a big bucket - I up-pot from solo cups to larger after they get a root system established. You will probably want to fertigate/flush out that bigger reservoir every 3-4 days for a while since small plants won’t be able to empty it for a longer time - and a stagnant reservoir can lead to rot.
Hi brother Rex! I’ll be checking your sweet harvest later tonight. It looked so sweet!Hey V!
Great seeing you on and rising above the situation
If you haven't done so already, maybe consider a good weather proofing kit for your hallway door? Make it air tight. Then the sniffer in your building can't sniff shit.
Either way, I'm happy to see your doing OK brother
But I believe the carb filter and strong enough fan will do the job. As it starts to warm up there so windows can be left open for a while so the smell wont get to the hallway like during the cold winter. Hey Growings and thanks
How you like about the small buckets? Didn’t you like to grow in smaller buckets as well? The biggest 420mag sticker will be the first thing that you’ll see when I’ve got the new tent and setup.
They actually taste pretty good! 
Myy 420fam!
Isn't that somethingThat warms my heart
Hey LKABudMan! First thing I noticed a new title below your name
Haven’t been much around here lately, feel me? So looks like I’ve missed a thing or two.
Trying to get more active again as the plants starts to grow more. But anyway congratulations for the title and I appreciate your care.
Aloha Felipe! I’ve actually missed you and our conversations
And I knew that you’d like to see this first hempy experiment.
About the buckets; I chose to keep them as a final containers. Haha, you may wonder why do I even bother to grow something in 2L root space. - Well had couple weeks time to do some research and found out that people have yielded 3 and tops about 4oz using sucha small hempys. And then about the 5L ones, well thats a half of the traditional 10L/2.5g Hempy bucket size.
So; small buckets - keeps the plants small and hopefully squat. And a bit less root space for the autoflowers make them mature faster. And then autoflowers generally just for the faster growth rate.
I believe there is pros and cons of the small Hempy buckets, BUT I’ve already found a handful of good tips/tricks for small Hempys how to get most of out them and how you could benefit from more frequent watering.
Also as I posted above; my current growth hardware is very limited and definitely nothing special right now.
I’d like to scale it down for a bit. This is sadly my last grow round now for a while (might be gone by the mid summer for 3 or 4 months) and you prob know the reason.
Anyway Hempy king’s every hempy advice is more than welcome. And most likely needed at some point!
Hi brother Rex! I’ll be checking your sweet harvest later tonight. It looked so sweet!
Hah that would be a good one! You and Bill came up with nice ideas
And I actually did contact to the Green league and they asked me to inform them how the whole situation proceed. Theres nothing they can do right now, but incase (which most likely wont happen) things would start going side ways bad time, then some of them would step up.
Anyway good to see you Rexer
Hey Growings and thanks
Oh and today picked up my 420magazine gift package from the post office finally!
Thank you @420 Rob!
PS. My wifey already fell in love with the Foods Alive Hemp seeds
420mag represent
I really do appreciate all the support from you guys.

Talk about timing. 
Sorry for the late reply Bill! I’ll send you a DM later tonight as I’m not feeling to share everything public here.Isn't that something
O Brother it broke my heart when that happened to you.
After the situation I had this summer I can sympathize with you.
But you have a great attitude about it and that's important.
PMA BABY PMA.
Who knows what will happen one day.
It would be nice to get together.
What is green league? Lawyers?
I might have missed it.
Great talking to you Amigo.
Stay safe
Bill
Hello GDB! Late reply, my apologies.Hey, Verb.
I've been trying to hold my tongue, but all the well-wishes have loosened it.
I know nothing about the laws in your country, but I can't believe that it's a good idea for you to jump back in with a case still pending. Not in your country, not in any country.
"Your honor, we've been told that the subject is growing weed again already and you have yet to issue a final ruling on his last offense."
If I'm way wrong or way out of bounds, please forgive me. As I said, I've been trying to hold my tongue.
Of course, I wish you well with your grow.
But I really wish you well with your livelihood!
Yee thats kewl
And especially autos mature faster in smaller pots IMO. 
Omg veb what a post.Sorry for the late reply Bill! I’ll send you a DM later tonight as I’m not feeling to share everything public here.
Hello GDB! Late reply, my apologies.
I really do see your point there and I truly appreciate your care and way how you think!
Even tho ”the case” is still open I’m 99% sure that I will be fined for the outcome, and thats end of the case. There is too many cases for the court if every caught grower would have to go through that tough legal process.
Thats just the way how these things being handled here right now. They don’t have resources to put me under some futher investigation - So this everything was just a bad luck which happened to me this time, and I myself am partly to blame… Should have used a proper air filtering.
Common sense maybe would say that take a break for a moment, but well, ehh my time is limited for cannabis cultivation right now. And I really do want to harvest one more yield before I’ve to stop growing for a while.
Yee thats kewl
4/18 Journal update
Hello 420fam, friends & followers.
Haven’t had much to update as we slowly getting pass the seedling phase.
Today 4/18 FastBuds Glues are 13 days old and Barney’s Glue on day 11.
Heres couple pics from the past week:
4/15/2022 Day 10:
4/16/2022 Day 11:
One FastBuds GG has some slight def/lockout foliar symptoms. Nothing major she keeps growing! (Day 11)
4/18/2022 Day 13 FastBuds & Day 11 Barney’s:
And do I remember right that @N420 was the expert using Photone app?
I’m still running the free version of Photone (so don’t have all of the light sources available yet - buying the Pro version as soon as I get chips on my icloud acc)
So I’m only having access to select either: Inc. reg/halogen, CMH 4200K or CFL. As I’m currently using 100W Led panels which has 4000K color temp so I’ve used the ”CMH 4200K” selection for now.
So I’m being a bit confused because the CMH 4200K -option gives me about 450-500ppfd at 12" distance (which sounds kinda accurate), BUT if I switch into ”Inc. reg” or ”halogen” then the PPFD jumps up to 800-900.
So any idea which result is more reliable?
Because for that stage 400-500ppfd gives me almost 30 DLI, as I’m having 20/4 light schedule. Optimal DLI is about between 20-30.
If the PAR is actually high as 800-900 thats results almost 60 on DLI.
…And what I’ve read that especially autos if running longer schedules for example 20/4 lights, they thrive the best between 500-700PPFD which gives an ideal DLI (18-20h lights on) between 25-35. And you don’t really want go much over that without additional CO2 supplementation.
I’m having a passive tube bringing air in for the plants but CO2 ppm is still moderate low at atmosphere it’s around 400-420ppm and inside the house usually max 390ppm.
They usually showing little signs of droopiness couple hrs before the lights go off. So I’m wondering if am I giving them too intense light (which feels wierd because the LED panels are 100W flood leds with 4000K temp. Or is it because of the shitty spectrum that they can’t benefit enough and waste light turns into heat?
Thanks if anyone have the knowledge regarding PAR and/or Day light integral!
And have a nice monday. 4/20 almost here!

I certainly respect your judgement Verb. You know your legal system.
Keep pushing forward! You wont achieve shit if you aint tryin.Omg veb what a post.
So happy to see you knocking it out of the park.
Go put your feet up my friend.
You deserve a break.
Stay safe
Bill
My own judgement is not the best because of my nature, but gotta live with that.I certainly respect your judgement Verb. You know your legal system.
I almost regret my previous post, but I don't!
I'm just an opinionated geezer who sometimes can't remain silent, and I accept that.
I hope that you do too, my friend!
Hempy Glues!) has soo tight node spacing! I actually tooked up more about the 4000K color temp’s spectrum as it provides over 90CRI and how cannabis likes it. More about that below. 
I upgraded to the pro version so all the different options are now available.
As mentioned above, lights lowered down to 12" above canopy the two LED’s at the center gives 31000lux!
Drank three cups of coffee and smoked two bowls whilst writing this. 
Whahah, I only wish!
Shit is expensive AF in EU. Just trying to get thru the veg with these panels and for the flowering might have to switch into old 250W HPS.
Side branching looks to be slower with this spectrum compared to full. But I could actually benefit from that incase the pheno stretches a lot - and what I’ve seen Gorilla Glue stretches A LOT.
