Hempy-Bucket Fastberry

UPDATE - Monday 29th March Weeks gone nice and smooth tbh. With my GHE PH test kit I feel a lot safer and I can get my water to within a rough range of where it needs to be and let the microbes do the rest. Also it isn’t digital so it can’t fuck up! I probably will buy a blue labs pen eventually but I’m planning on a 1.2x1.2mx2m tent to fill up with autoflowers. I haven’t decided if I’m going to use hempy buckets or not yet but it’s going to take me more than a few runs to save up for all the gear, so until then i am going to flower out the main lined photoperiod (Barneys farm - Ayahuasca Purple) in my old grow closet. I have enough equipment to set it up with passive intake and the inline extractor fan is powerful enough and the space small enough to suck in quite a bit of air through some sort of cloth as a filter. I always used to overcrowd this cabinet massively so it’ll be really nice to throw the mainlined plant in there and get it flowered whilst I am starting my sponsored Fast Buds seeds. I never start my diaries until I see the first sign of the coyteline leaves ( I know that’s not the actual name for the them but I can’t remember it exactly and can’t be assed to look it up!) Iv just had so many failed germination that it’s a bit like when women are having a baby they don’t tell people until the first part is over in case they lose it! That’s how I feel ) With regards to this plant enjoy the photos. They aren’t as good as the last lot as I didn’t put as much effort in due to having to do more in the actual grow! I’m cutting her down soon. I need to look at the the I homes underneath the loupe. I thought I’d forgotten it but when I got home I hadn’t so took some x30 macro photos of the bud that got snapped off like a week ago. I just budded on a stupidly cheap light. One of those bar lights that has 4 spread out bars that have really thin quantum board strips. Or I thought it was a full light.....turned out I just bought the heat sink haha. Oh well, as we all know iv built lights in the past and I’m locked in now. It was £65. I don’t think that is bad for what it is. The problem is there aren’t that many quantum board strip circuit boards in the uk really yet or when they are either they are too weak, Emerson effect boards or SUPER expensive. I woke up this morning realising it’s just a normal heat sink so surely I could mount cobs to it. If I mounted lots of small wattage cobs spaced out at equal distances to make up the 400w it can take. I will probably wire it into two drivers. I dunno, just an idea. I found some 65w strips that I could then add some cheap 25w cobs to I guess. I dunno. At least I bought that decent soldering iron! I knew it would come in useful! I got there in the end with my citizen clu-048 grow light and that is 100w so I’ll think of it as doing 4 of them but cheaper lol I really could talk to myself all day about growing on here. Also they should have a ‘flushing’ button above where they have all the growing techniques your using that week. Everyone does it so why not have it there for people to just hit. Also above iv said I water 1.25 a day but realistically I water double that every other day. Sometimes every 3 days and shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit if I’m growing in traditional soil it can be weeks before it fully dries out if your using a 10 gallon or something
