Just a quickie here... I see a lot of responses and I want to address all of the questions and suggestions, but I've had 6-7 beers, several treats and it is late. I just wanted to acknowledge and thank all of you for participating in the thread. I'll get everything up to date in the morning with my coffee.. ;)

LOL, Yeah, I hear that. Just got to the edibles section. Damn those look good! What if you water cured the popcorn buds with the leaves that had trich's on em to get rid of the bad shit? Wouldn't that make the butter taste better, since it makes the bud smoke smoother? Just stands to reason. Whew, my brain is in meltdown mode.

I would personally like to thank Serapis and Scotty for turning me on to this kind of growing. You guys have awesome grows, and even better journals. Keep up the good work. I go back and forth between a couple of forums, and I must admit, that I've spent a considerable amount of time on the other one, UNTIL NOW! These two growers have enlightened us to the simplicity that is growing the most precious plant on the planet. I've since ordered the plumbing for the waterfarm, and will be building one soon. I'd like to try and make one with a little larger capacity as to try to avoid the roots from clogging it up though. Anyway thanks again.

I believe I read a post on here from Serapis that discussed the Blue res tube on the waterfarm getting cloudy to the point that you couldn't see the water level. I may have a solution. A spigot for a water jug. You still couldn't "see" the water level but all you'd have to do is open the spigot to see if it comes out??? Plus you wouldn't have to tilt the tube over to drain it. Not sure but here's a link for one for $1.50 http://beprepared.com/product.asp?pn=WS%20J101 Let me know what ya think.

....had to add this. If you used the spigot in the link; you could simply attach an "L" shaped, clear hose (or the blue tube that came with it) on the end of it when you needed to check the water level, and then open the spigot. Once the level is checked simply remove the "L" shaped tube (or blue one). I do believe this would be easier, especially in a scrog grow.

This one may be better. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/italian-bottling-spigot.html it can accept a 3/8" hose on the end.

Hell, just keep the blue tube and drill a hole next to it for the spigot. SOLVED!

I think the beauty of the plumbing is knowing exactly where your water level is, not just the drainage aspect of it or knowing that there is "some amount" of water in there. It helps you know how fast your plants are drinking and know when it's necessary to top up in between reservoir changes.. as far as it getting cloudy, I never used one long enough to have that issue but I gave it a try long before I had a grow cab or lights even. Full on hydro wasn't for me, but I can definitely see the ingenuity in the way that tube was designed. If mine was getting cloudy I would just fashion a device to clean it, or buy some oversized pipe cleaners or somethin.. make it a habit of cleaning it out when I did res changes..

Let me apologize quickly guys and gals... I don't have time to work the forums like I like to. I have to boot into Win XP and write a Java GUI before midnight tonight. I'll be back real soon....

Excellent thread Serapis. Thank you very much. I've not posted up much on this forum as I've been lurking and learning! I will read the thread about the cannabutter too as I think it would be such as waste to throw anything away if/when I get round to doing a grow. I have bought a aquafarm having seen yours and scottyballs grows... amazing stuff. Just hopr it is as easy as you both say :-). +rep

Believe me, it is easy. I have no ties to General Hydroponics, nor do I benefit from the sales of their merchandise. I praise the Waterfarm constantly, because it is pure genius. The Venturi pick-up tube is just brilliant. If you do and follow what you read in Scotty's grow, you'll do fine.

The water farms, IMO are the best system for anyone.

My buddy has a $500 4x4 ebb and flow table and a 600w light. His last grow not only did his plants herm and seed his shit up making his bud like crap(I warned him, he wanted to use seeds from a plant that hermed on me he thinks he can watch Jorges DVD and become a master grower just from watching that but anyways:wall:) he got maybe 5-7 ounces of mediocre bud if that, he gave me a bud I smoked a bowl took one hit, and threw the rest of his bud away.:-(

I grew one plant in one $60 waterfarm with one 400w light I got 10-11 maybe even twelve ounces really didn't weight it all and 17g of bubble hash:clap:. He is trying to sell his table now and hes buying two waterfarms.

The waterfarms are so simple, so easy, and so effective there should be a sticky in the hydro forums talking about them.

Near tragedy....


I stayed home from my part time job last night sick, with a back ache that was killing me. My roommate brought me one of those Homedic massagers with heat for computer chairs. As I was sitting here in disbelief of how good this thing felt, I looked up and saw that my remote read that the tent was 93 degrees! I got up in pain, but determined to find out what was going on. The vortex was working ok, turns out the inline was hot and barely moving air. The lamp felt hot too. Being a believer in having spare parts lying around (I have replacement bulbs here, just in case), I attached a second inline fan to the end of the duct and got it going. The temp dropped 14 degrees in less than an hour.

I swear by my ACU Rite remote hygrometer/thermometer. Had I not looked at it when I did, my plants would have baked in that tent. Considering what we do and what it's worth, we should have spares around to cover just about any emergency related to growing. Do you have spare parts around? What about ligyht bulbs and fans? Two of the basics. I encourage everyone to have spare parts available when they can. You never know when you are going to need it.

Man, I'm so glad I went back and read this! I'm getting ready to finish ordering "parts". I guess an extra fan is in order!

Thanks for the kind words Serapis ;) the whole point of doing a journal was to show others how easy it can be with hydro... And yes I really like to see people try it and have success with it cause from you and the other 5-6 grows another 5-6 grows may come out from each of you and it snowballs from there and will hopefully become a standard starting point in growing hydro or even established hydro growers that are fed up with more complicated systems and just want less hassle.. I mean really whats the point of growing 10 plants when you can get the same yield from 1 or 2 plants with the same amount of time.. anyway keep up the good work Ill be watching ;)

You can count me in as one that has gone from soil, to hempy, to hydrofarm (homemade that is), thanks to Scottyballs and Serapis!
