2nd grow ever! Continuing my use of hempy bucket with solely perlite. I did just what I did on my first grow, put the seed in a rapid rooter straight in the final container to avoid worrying about the transplant shock that comes with autos. Didn't wash the seed, didn't moisten the rapid rooter (came from the fridge), and I can't even remember if I put the seed in correctly based on the direction of the pointy end. And in spite of all of these methods, boom: we have sprouts. My first grow was riddled with anxiety around the germination part especially and I remember scrolling through forums wondering if I was going to have a successful germination. It seems like a lot of those forums were seriously over complicating things! (tho there's probably value in knowing how to germinate not in a rapid rooter) Goals for the grow: this a new tent where I'm going to start a perpetual harvest in a single tent using autos. Really excited to grow this strain because I've smoked it before and it's been amazing. Can't really try SCROG because of the auto/perpetual harvest thing, but definitely going to some early low stress training. Should I try topping?

Solid first week with some nice growth! Maybe it's me or maybe it's the genetics but the first set of leaves are looking large! Just using a very small amount of water and an even smaller amount of nutes since we're in a large final container. Tempted to invest in some supplements for this grow.

Looks pretty good so far! Patiently awaiting for 2 more weeks or so when the roots will hit the rez and really take off. Definitely gonna try topping this week. Fingers crossed I don't kill it.

Well, it's too early for starters if you top now, you'll only end up having to keep topping and, if u are having trouble now then wait till it grows at least 5 nodes and top above the 4th or u could even do the above the 5th and that have to keep topping that's what I did with my zkittlez hydro and it's taken off. 9cm last wk in 7d sane again this wk in 4 days. Anyways best of luck. Just make sure when you are topping that you don't take the tiny little shoots that are above the fan leafs that's your next node. Leave a little bit extra on the stem, so jst cut right under 5th nodes fan leafs.but if u wait to top u won't have any probs telling what's what even for a beginner. Happy growing. Good luck

Topped on 2/21 at the third node but I didn't do it correctly because it's already growing back through that area and it doesn't look like the dominance was broken.😅 Oh well. Started light LST a few days later. Stepping it up today because I've heard this strain can be a monster and it looks like the roots hit the rez because the plant is really taking off. This was quicker than my previous grow, and I think it probably had to do with a combination of managing pH better and giving significantly less water each go around to allow the roots to really stretch. I'm starting a "lite" perpetual harvest in one tent with autos so I'll try topping again on another one. Also thinking for the next on I shouldn't drop the rapid rooter in the middle of the bucket because it actually doesn't give me enough space to train and completely bend the plant over. Thoughts? Or maybe I should just try training a little earlier? Color is looking great. Gonna try lowering the humidity a little.

Growth has really, really taken off. Having to LST daily now. I think my attempt to top was actually a FIM? Idk, it grew back from the spot where I topped it so that's where we're at. If anyone knows what that's called, hit me up. Not gonna top again, just LST from here on out. This strain has been wonderful so far and responded well to upping the nutes in accordance with the schedule on the bottle. All have to look at other diaries to see how heat/light resistant this strain is. It's starting to get hot out and the plant is getting closer to the lights.... Lots of stakes. Anyone pull off SCROG in a single tent perpetual harvest? Maybe I should get tomato cages?

Beginning of flowering! Tons of growth this week and those little white hairs. Overall she's doing great and this grow has already been so much smoother than the first. Accidentally bent and clipped a bud site this week as well :( . It didn't look salvageable and it was a bud site so I didn't do anything. Maybe that wasn't the move but the rest of the plan is fine and it wasn't any of the main potential colas so it's okay. Getting ready to kick more into the flower phase this week. Did full veg level of nutes and then did transition to bloom levels. Also really impressed by this light. I know it has so-so reviews on amazon but so far no light burn as we inch closer. a

This plant is turning into an absolute monster. Was originally going to do a a perpetual harvest in the tent but honestly I don't even wanna bother now because I expect to get a minimum of 2 oz if not more. Had some trouble controlling the heat so I took down the grow tent internal wall since I'm no longer doing a perpetual harvest for the time being and since I'm going to need to break out the big drying rack for this one. Also added an intake fan to go off when the humidity needs to be brought down and have added in a portable ac for the rising temps as well since the grow room is not very well insulated and its starting to get hot here. Next week's entry will be late because I am going on vacation! It's a risk in flower but this is a hempy and I'm going to try and fill up the drain tray with water so that we're all set.

Nice to see some hempy buckets going! I run dutch buckets myself. I have had good results topping autos as long as they are growing fast. I try to do it early around day 12 above the 2nd node. Just curious, how often are you watering yours?
