ha ha what?! sorry hulk i'm having a little bit of trouble deciphering the first part of your post.
i'm going to take it as a compliment and assume, you were saying my setup looks nice. but to answer your question, yeah i plan to keep them all in the same farm and actually there are 5 little kids in there. one of them is a bit of a straggler. the plan is to go for max yield from a single water farm. i know most people separate plants into individual pots and have impressive yields, but i've always thought i march to the beat of my own drum and i intend to keep up that tradition. granted i won't the same overall size plant as most, but i think i will be able to pull off a respectable yield given some clever gardening know how.

also about your waterfarm not dripping, it could be salt build up, i've read a lot of posts where the tube going down into the res essentially just cakes over with salt build up, its easy to clean i hear just running it under water and rubbing with your fingers will break it up. also GH makes a product "Flora Kleen" its used for flushing but is safe throughout your grow, it basically helps breakdown salt build up. might help, and might not.

i'm down for an online waterfarm grow op. start the thread i will gladly subscribe, and post my shiz on that...

ps pics coming soon

As promised here are some new photos.. (i love grow porn as much as anybody else

[that guy is just awesome] )

Pic 1 If you notice in the front corner, thats my straggler, it's about 3 inches tall, its being shaded a good bit by its bigger siblings, which makes me think some small amount of LST is due, just to open up a canopy
(also notice i added the big overhead light, it also has a y-socket adapter. each lamp is 2 X 23W (100W equivalent) CFL Daylight spectrum, making for a total of 10 CFL bulbs, roughly making up about 230W of lighting goodness)

Pic 2 An awesome overhead view of the garden. You can see really clearly here that the big bitch in the bottom right REALLY covers up her little buddy in the back corner of the garden

Pic 3 This is my giant! About 6 inches tall now, and overshadowing its smaller siblings

Pic 4 A horizontal front view of the garden from inside the grow closet, a little shady, but you get the idea

(i should use the female "her" and "she" more often than the indefinite "sibling" maybe it will increase my female to male ratio? more on that later)

so overall they range from about 3 1/2 inches to about 6 1/2 inches. the big girl with MASSIVE leaves. any guesses whether these are indica or sativa strains???

also i've decided to open up a naming contest. that overhead shot is uploaded to my photo album. take a look at it, and name the kids for me... i'm having trouble keeping track of them all, and i'm no good at naming them. ALL lady names please... like i said, trying to up the female-to-male ratio through mental jedi mind tricks. maybe it will work??

Alright, I've made my decision, going to figure out a method of LST tomorrow. I plan to lean each plant towards the edge of the water farm, in hopes of allowing more light to penetrate down through the plants, towards the center of the drip ring... if that makes sense?

I think it does.

From that, going to veg for a few more weeks, then do a little topping. Ultimate result being a screen of green. Thats right, I started out wanting a pretty, tall cannabis plant. Now I've decided to spread the ladies and let the buds shoot where they may...

If you look below at the picture you'll see the plants are already starting to crowd, so I think the LST combined with the ScrOG will be enough to compensate, and still allow me to use the single water farm unit.

I need a bowl, I'm not clever when I'm straight.

and keep

hey shackle you wanted LST info click HERE for it...

Shackleford.R · #27 05-04-2009, 06:28 AM

dopewear, you rocked my sock with that LST thread. Had everything I needed to know.

On a different note, my landlord is sending a guy out today, to check out my mice in my attic, I'm planning on disconnecting the lights and pump, so he doesn't hear anything suspicious while checking shit out today. Think that will affect my plants to have a shorter light cycle than usual?

dopewear · #28 05-04-2009, 07:15 AM

iv read you can get away with like an hour of unscheduled light or no light but a hole day i dont know and glad you enjoyed that thread. DW

how old are they from seed??

They will show signs of flowering before 12/12. Nobody has yet to tell me why since I dont think light is getting into my room.

Normally Veg time is about 7-10 weeks for most seeds. I started mine about 6 weeks ago and 3 are showing signs of sex (perhaps bc they are growing fast in Hydro, not sure why so early)....see below. I have NOT switched out my HPS or to 12/12 yet. I also don't know why they are pre-flowering but they are wanting to flower.....the others have to catch up another week before I can start!!!!! I hear that if you use a Metal Hallide, the plants just go NUTS

Do u have any signs of problems?

Try to avoid it, obviously, but they will be ok....

No worries... just get back to your schedule as soon as you can...
