Damn it feels like forever......well heres the start of another grow log i started 6 days ago.

I germinated 2 CH9 mixed females on tueday..... One cracked on Weds and sproated on thursday, and the other one cracked today while at work! (At least i know my germinating method works...other than the Critically smashed seeds which are about to find the trash can)

I will be growing using Hempy Buckets again.....i will just use the coffee containers again... I will be also using the whole Fox Farm Hydro Formula(Grow Big Hydro, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Open Seseme, Cha Ching, and Bestie Budz).

I will use 4 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite, as a growing medium.

so far so good what is CH9?

my next indoor run I will be using 3 parts perlite, 1 part coco. gotta love the results hempy buckets get

CH9 is a breeder which i assume is in N. America(california)....He produces only female seeds.....he uses female pollen from 5 plants to create his female seeds(his test grows show his cubing the pollen removes the tendency for female seeds to hermi).....I read about them on HG420(Mendocino(ch9 owner) has a help desk there for his seeds)....The guy is ultra cool.....always answers questions with in a day....no better person to get advice from than the breeder himself

The seeds were cheap $60 for a ten pack of female seeds....I bought four packs...His green bud(a reworked female of ed rosenthal super bud), a mixed pack of females, jacks, and citral skunk. Check his gear out.....ive only read absolutly fantastic stuff about his gear!

Yeah i love hempy buckets......i dont think ill ever try something different....my bestfriend is running hempy's vs his drip rings and the hempys are murdering the drip buckets!

Well another week has past and the plants look fine. Ive been blasting them with nutes since the second day after they sproated (ive never hit them this young with nutes, the smaller plant has been getting nutes before she even shed her shell). I ran the ppm's around 550 on a .5 meter for the first week.....im gonna bum it up a litlle tomorrow....somewhere between 800-900.

Heres some pics from then....they are 10 days from seed now and they look like different plants...ill post those pics on monday which will be day 14 of Veg.

killa12345, looks like your plants are doing mighty fine. It looks like your hempy buckets and nute schedule are working well. I will have to do some research on CH9, as he sounds like an interesting seedster. Good luck with these ladies, and I look forward to seeing them go up in smoke!

Thanx Jakezking...CH9 is swesome.....he seems to always be lerking in my grows over at hg420...

Well its almost another week......Due to the fact my job is now killing me slowly i will only be able to update on the weekends....the reason for the odd update day...I will just go by veg days from now on.....Today is day 14 from seed....Day 13 of being feed veg nutes.

Like i said the new promotion is absolutely killing me....10-13 hr days...which is causing me more problems in my grows...other than the temps reaching close to 116F outside last week. I guess i didnt do my normal ph checks on my nutes which caused some problems this week.....I took my initial check for granted and was running my Hempy Buckets at a PH of 6.6-6.8......not a good idea.....i caught the problem after 5 days.....i ed the buckets yesterday with a new nute solution with a ph of 5.8.....It might be the reason the plants look a tad droopy...

Seems like the plants are eating all the nutes though.....i have no sights of nute burn on any leafs.....tomorrow which will be day 14 of veg will get a new week of nutes running about the same 800-900 ppm. /.5 conversion.

Well heres some pics....hope everyone enjoys them....hopefully no more mistakes!

lookin goood. lots of nodes. doesn't even look like you have made any mistakes yet

very healthy looking! mostly indica i guess?
good luck dude! keep us updated

look extremly healthy and strong cant wait 2 c the budds on that monster!

Lookin' great. Might even research these hempy buckets. =x

I'mma noob still playing in dirt.

Gona be lurking quite a bit. Good luck

/subscribed\

Hempy buckets are easier than dirt,,,research them on google.....if you cant figure them out...pm me!....

looking good man i"ve been thinkin about tryin the hempy buckets maybe next grow any how good luck

Thanx tokr2153.....i love hempy's.....if you make mistakes.....you can fix them in days.....instead of weeks with soil....i dont think ill try another method for a long time!

Lookin great so far killa. Do you leave them in that size container until harvest or do you transplant? I am thinking of trying this on a couple clones I got rooting now.

They will stay in the coffee containers till harvest!

Well the plants are still growing very well, but im having a few minor problems which im having a little concern....

First....Both plants like the nutes at different levels(which i really dont have time with my new promotion).....The more indica looking plant likes it ph around 6.0-6.2....she really doesnt like the high ppms either.....kinda picky....i lowered the ppm to around 800 and everything seems fine with her for now....but my other one is gettin huge....many shoot....great growth....but she like her ppms high and her ph low(5.8-6.0).....

Second....i let my larger one i think hit the lights or got nute splash or something....i dont know it really dont look like nute burn....because its really not getting worse and all the tips look ok....its only on the top two sets of leafs.....

Other than that they look good.....the large one is going to be a bush....I can already clone her....she is starting to preflower...the smell is very skunky.....im definitly taking clones im just waiting for about 6 more days before she gets a little pruning......The more indica looking plants....doesnt really have many side shoots....the growth is definitly behind the other one....ill probably only take a cut or two from her before flowering...10 more days and then ill flip them....Ill have a picture update on sunday which will be day 20 of Veg.

I thought i post a little teaser pic.....i still have the problems i posted before ill post detail pics and a detailed update tomorrow, but heres a little teaser till then....The growth is very nice on these plants they are starting to fill out nicely.....you can see them in my homemaid rubbermaid box....enjoy the pic!

Well its another week...im experiencing a few problems nothing im really too concerned about....

On Friday i will take clones....i havent decided how many to take but im thinking about 6 off the large plant, 2-4 off the small plant.....I will flip these plants in 7 days.....Tomorrow they will get another new batch of new nutes with some open seseme...i plant to run it a little weaker than normal....right around 1000-1050 ppm/.5 conv. ..... I follow the Fox farm nute schedule to a t except i dont repeat weeks that are the same in the schedule like weeks 2 & 3.

Here are some pics:

Pics 1-4 are of the large plant

Awesome grow man. I'm definitely going to watch this. I'm transplanting my plants into a Hempy setup tomorrow. Good luck with your promotion.

Thank Chong...i was starting to feel like i was unwelcome here!


I really wanted to wait but the bigger plant keeps touching the lights....this is like the 3rd time.....i should of known yesterday but i was lazy....came home to a plant with a few burnt leafs.....shouldnt matter.....

Well i took clones today....today is veg day 23 and 24 days from seed.....i took 8 clones.....3 off the smaller plant, 5 off the larger plant......Also i had to tie down the larger plant its just growing larger everyday....

Im going to flip them tomorrow...i know its early, but im running out of room fast!

Here are some pics of the clones, plants in the rubbermaid box, and the larger plant tied down!
