Hempy bucket feeding

strains: Ak-47 ...& BlueBerry

2-3Gallon Buckets..

I havent been on here in awhile so i havent been reading or updated on the hempy bucket. From what i remember it usually calls for GH nutz and work your way up to 5tsp of all three (5-5-5).

BlueBerry is fert sesative, and can easily be turned into hermi . Been using 3-3-3 instead of 5-5-5 to be more carefull but still seems to have an effect on them.

Is it better to go with a ratio like 3-3-3 or 5-5-5 tsp, or would hempy bucket work better if followed the GH feeding schedule and just lowered the dose of each to accomodate for the blueberries sensativity?

Last time used Fox Farms in coc fiber, and last week fo flower the blueberries got started growing banana boats, no full male flowers thou, and i dont know why..Bud turned out amazing but felt like the plants were stressed abit too much, and i dont want that to happen with the hempys..any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks- n happy growin

My DP blue berries in Hempy buckets have been feeding on 5-5-5 in veg. Now they are in flower and I started them at 0-5-10 and will progress to 0-8-16 in a few days.

You have the numbers wrong. 5-5-5 means ml which is 1 tsp per gallon. I do 1/2 tsp of each in veg, then slowly work my way up in flower. Your over-doing it.

Bluecheese when changing the ratio of fertz, are you testing ph at all or leaving it be.

In my hempy buckets I have NEVER measured the pH or ppm. I use RO water (so I add a little CalMag), but I have just gone with formulas I've seen here.

Lazy, but true.

No, that's 5ml of floramicro & 10 ml of florabloom. The ratios are typically listed grow-micro-bloom.

That's what I'm feeding my hempy bucket plants & they've in their first week of flowering. So far, so good. I plan to make it 0-8-16 next week.

BlueCheese, have you used your 0-5-10 and 0-8-16 forumlas before in hempy buckets with success? I was just curious because when I tried to do a no nitrogen flower formula in soil last summer my leaves yellowed pretty quickly and I really think I hurt my harvest potential. If your formulas have worked for you than stick with it but I'd be a little cautious of not using any N in flower, at least in the first 4 weeks.
