Scotty- Your grow looks great, I'm a outdoor guy, but you cabinet is great for a limited space grow.I'm building an 8'x8' room and may try a coule of waterfarms.It looks pretty easy way to go. I do plan on still using soil for some of my girls, But I can remember a friend of mine growing in a small hydro setup about 30 years ago. I dont remember the strain, But we called it Dumbo weed, & it fucked you up. Cant wait to see more pics of you grow.

So when you put germinated seed straight into Waterfarm , are you also adding nutes immediately or waiting for more natural development?

OK starting to put out flowers and first lil bud shot for my PE.. plant top height is about 7" past screen..

Note bluish green tint to leaves.. I really like how the Ceramic metal hylide bulb makes them so much more healthy looking then when using HPS.. usally with a HPS leaves have more of a yellow green tint.. still debating with myself weather or not to leave the CMH in the whole way or switch to HPS in a few weeks for more red spectrum.. I kinda would like to leave the CMH in just cause there is so lil info out there about them and if I did leave it in there It would be a good refrence for CMH.. however I doubt bud formation would be as dense as if I was running HPS wich may hurt yeild...

PPM 850
PH 5.9

looking nice :weed:...The PE really matures very fast...just wish I knew the parents of the plant :?
Did you have this strain? how was the end product?

dank grow...when is it best to put that screen down? right before you switch the cycle to veg or...?
In a water farm you better put the screen down the same time you go 12/12 cause the plant is going to start growing crazy fast have to weave every day ive seen a good 3" of plant growth and the plant usally grows at least another 2 1/2ft after flower and thats with less then 30 days vege and using scrog..

word thanks for the info what about in soil? FFOF w/ the nutes? maybe a little bit earlier than 12/12 or?

Oh sorry... Soil you could weave away in vege and flower after the screen is filled..
haha no need to be sorry for helping...not like you were supposed to guess i use soil (however would love to move to hydro), but thanks for the useful information, i will definitely use chicken wire screen for my next grow

it just makes so much sense to have a bunch of tops w/ even lighting than a vertical plant where lower branches develop smaller buds

very nice plant to grow...only complaint is not knowing the heck what it is ...lol... but heck its worth it ...very frosty plant.. finishes very fast and sticky..have had the pleasure of seeing two different phenos... one was very stinky with a coffee hint the other had strong odor but not the coffee hint..funny can't say that either had the smell of pineapple or god's vagina but still I say both were very nice broads...another thing is the PE is nitrogen hunger slut..you will see when the leaves start to turn yellow ...more then I have ever seen, but don't get me wrong still a nice plant to grow..she can really take nukes, but always add slowly to see response, but I think you will see that she can take it !!!!! love the waterfarm you got me hook !!!!!!!

Excelent thanks for the great review! And its funny you say how hungery she is just tonight I plucked off 6 lower leaves that had yellowed.. not a dead yellow but a nice drained soft yellow that was used up for upper growth.. Usally I dont see that for another few weeks.. that tells me you know exactly what your talking about.. And yes I wish G13 would just go ahead and tell us what the parents are but in a way its kinda fun not knowing.. I can tell you one thing its the most indica dominate strain Ive grown wich probly is not saying much cause I mainly grow sativa or sativa dominate hybrids other then a few greenhouse white widows.. Im going to start bumping up the nutes on my change out wich is tomarrow.. maybe another 200-300 then step it up again in another week or so.. right now Im only around 850-950 ppm ...

And yes the GH waterfarm has never failed me not once in the last 10 yrs.. growth is faster then my custom built $2000 aeroponic unit I built a few years back.. I think the water is just super oxygenated do to all the water driping over the rocks (wich is all surface water) and 95% of O2 is picked up in the suface layer.. and really aeroponic is not that efficent unless you can get the droplet size down to 10mu's if not you might as well be doing DWC imo... but thanks for the review, that was really what i was looking a experienced grower's opinion with PE.. +rep if I have any ;)

Scotty, I've decided that I'm going to purchase a waterfarm system and run it in my small tent. I have a question about the tucking and weaving. You just bend the plant under the SCROG screen so everything grows horizontal right? You don't go up through the screen and then down another hole and so on right? I hope I'm making sense. Thanks.

yes i go under the screen then let the tip come up threw another hole once that tip is about 2-3" tall i carfully pull it back down and find another hole further away basically just spreading thr branches secondary growth will start growing faster do to the extra light and fill in the gaps..

Great thanks for the tip. Do you ever clean the bottom bucket during grow? How about your drip ring or any other parts..do they ever get clogged?

No need to clean the bottom bucket.. the drip ring can clog but I find that it comes from nute water evaporating around the holes leaving behind salt build up.. you can eliminate that by covering the whole top with a peice of foil.. like the pictures in my first few post... if it dose become clogged it can be removed without harming anything clean and put back in....
