Recent switched to Hempy Bucket system. I run a perpetual Autoflower Grow starting and harvesting a new plant every 3 weeks inside a 2 x 4 foot bedroom closet.
Cheers to everyone! Keep your fingers crossed for me. I 😀
Moving light schedule from 18 to 20 hours to see how that goes. My first Hempy Bucket which is not on GD showed signs of nitrogen deficiency so I'm bumping up the nutes
This plant was put in a Rapid Rooter cube and on day 37 started to flower. On day 34 it had one yellow leaf on the bottom suggesting nitrogen deficiency. Do I need to worry about upping my nutes when I only have one bad leaf when flowering starts?
First 2 weeks of flowering are very stretchy and plant is taking lots of N to get bigger ,stronger to hold as many bud sites as it can.
Yellowing on bottom is fine dont use much N now as its now flowering and no more growing.use low N and rich PK.
Don't worry about it my brother. If its not getting worse don't up the nutrients. Remember, marijuana plant can't be forced feed. What I would do is check the PH. Different nutrients absorb better at different PH levels. And keep it between 6.5 and 7.5 and don't worry about keeping it at an exact level (pinned at 7) let it range from 7.5 to 6.5 without letting it raise or fall from those levels.
Hey there I had a plant do a similar thing...1 yellow leaf. But as for the 1 leaf I wouldn't worry. If more show up then there may be a problem. My yellow leaf appeared, stayed that way, but was followed by good positive growth. Eventually I removed the leaf as I figured it probably wasn't fully doing its job after getting ruined.
Your plant looks great and I love the lst style you've done. I hope she turns out perfect for you.
Happy Earth day! :)
When I went into the hysteria after the Cal-Mag deficiency issues I bumped up the nutes. I've found another auto grower using the same nutes and will scale back to my prior feeding rate which is 25% of manufacturer recommendation. Hopefully by adding the CalMag from the start the next plant won't have the same CalMag issue that I thought was Nitrogen deficiency.
I'm happy with how my Rectangular LST training is going so far. It may be a compromise to doing it round but I'm getting plants to fit better in the tray and the overall canopy is better filled because I can have 3 large plants instead of 2.
Nice bud growth this week. I love this phase.
I'm debating when to harvest this plant.
Most of the other journals here on GD have harvested Six Shooter at 8 weeks. I rarely see much amber trichomes until about week 9 or 10. I've grown all my prior Six Shooters till 10 weeks. I may harvest this one at 9.
This plant was harvested 98 days from seed. She yielded a total of 152 grams. My highest yield so for in soil was 98 grams so the Hempy Bucket really performed well.
I've grown this strain before. The smoke is always good and the plant always is a high yielder.
*** Topped her today, 30 days from being put in the rapid rooter cube. The earliest I've topped this strain in Ocean Forest is 34 days. I'm hoping the healthy growth is a sign of good things to come with the Hempy Bucket.
Thanks! I've only grown like 5 of them and I try to let them flower for 10 weeks. They start to flower 35 to 37 days from putting them in a rapid rooter plug. I'm sorry but I have not grown enough other strains to give any good comparisons. On prior grows in soil with some out of control ph balance burn they've been still giving me 2.6 to 3.5 ounces. I picked this strain for it's yield. Hope that helps!
Harvesting earlier should give a slightly more energetic buzz, I like harvesting at different levels of ripeness,and see what difference early versus latter harvesting.👍
Your plants are looking so good. Those fast buds seeds seem to be pretty good? That last pic of yours with your room all full of leaves is a sight for sore eyes! I'm so glad they bounced back for you. You think harvest will be this month or next?
I saw your perpetual harvest photos and that is so cool and clever. you must be the master of autos! Do you usually get a pretty good harvest off each plant?
I'm just using a 2 gallon bucket that I got at Dollar Tree.
If you live in the U.S. you can order them online and have them shipped to the store in lots of 4 for only $1.00 each. I drill 16 holes in the top rim for LST.
Best of luck to you and let me know if I can offer further assistance. @Experimentgreen,
Looking great, not heard of Hempy bucket could you explain? Please I'm always
looking for different grow styles. Thank you👍
Following along looking forward to this grow.
Thanks! The back right plant in the Grow pic is a Nirvana White Widow Auto. She's not purple it't the blurple Ebay LED on the right hand side of the closet. She suffered a lot of ph nute burn and most of the leaves have fallen off but the buds were unshaken. :) @909HighRoller,
she looks nice and healthy
nice dark leaves
how many days flowering does this strain need, i heard good things about this strain
and, what kind of weed would be a decent comparisation
I replied but it showed down lower in the comments list instead of a comment to you
Sorry I'm new with this site ! I've only grown like 5 of them and I try to let them flower for 10 weeks. They start to flower 35 to 37 days from putting them in a rapid rooter plug.

What a nice thing to say!! Thank you so much! :)
I'm decided to LST my plants in a rectangular shape so I can get 3 instead of 2 in a 2x4 foot/ 60x120 cm closet. They come out looking great in photos. @growdoctordc,
Yea I harvest my Sativas a little early and my Indicas a little later , hybrids at like 5% amber for a balanced effect. Don’t be afraid to let them go longer if you are not seeing more than 10% amber until later weeks. Some people just don’t like the sleepy effect. Hell I know a guy who harvests his diesels at like week 7 when it’s mostly Clear/Cloudy just because he likes the lighting in a bottle effect lol.
Interesting it's about 10% amber that I usually aim for myself as well.
This may be my last Six Shooter so I think I'm going to have a go at taking it down a week earlier than normal. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic it's always great to get different perspectives.
