MadMama’s First Hempy with Mephisto

MadMama Started my first Hempy Bucket this past Sunday and promptly lost power two days later. Seedlings got leggy and I buried them in more perlite/vermiculite 75/25 mix. First true leaves showed up today.

MadMama Coming along. This will be a very ambitious grow. The light schedule is hectic. Somebody gotta go to work to pay for perlite.

MadMama When we design experiments, we take known elements and pair them with unknown elements. The unknown element in this Grow is me. Hempy Buckets have been in existence for decades and Mephisto has a proven track record. I needlessly worried about those delicate stems and now they are already woody and thickening daily.

MadMama This is my first Hempy. It has to be compromised almost daily. I work and don’t leave the lights or fans on. I had some mottled leaves on one plant but the other was fine. Learning how to feed. Wonderful challenge.

MadMama They are struggling. I have compromised their light. I have to go work to pay for the electricity. I think and have been advised that they are probably underfed. Fed them, we will see.

MadMama Doubled my nute and they came back swinging. I did HST to the apical stem and LST the rest. Defoliation as always.

MadMama Frick and Frack doing fine. These are the same strain growing so differently. I did HST on apical stem and she is now lush. On the other plant, I did HST on each stem and tied them down. You can see they are purple.

MadMama Too lazy to walk 15 feet. You can see these plants are growing as promised. You see the buds with purple cast and them growing distinct nuggets. The other is just growing into one massive nugget. So very thick.

MadMama This was my first time growing this particular phenotype but I knew the genetics. It grows giant buds on stalks. This was my first time growing in a Hempy Bucket. Once those nutes are dialed in, you can set it and forget it. The maturation caught me by surprise. Of course regretting I did not grow in a larger bucket but stealth is a premium for me.
