WaterFarm Club

Hey Jzs,

just curious, did you top? If so, how many times? I topped the PE twice which I have never tried before, I usually just topped my girls once because of the size constraints of my previous tent.

I am guessing that second topping created the central gap with all the hormones heading down and out to the new outer stems.

Anyhow, just a guess.

Peace,

Daoist

Sweet grow brother

nah mate I did't even top mine just bent the main head to the side an let it keep growing my gap aint to bad think its just me pulling all the arms to the out side of the tent

My plant is growing! check it out, strawberry kush week 1 of flowering in my water farm under two 300w equivalent cfls and one 240w blackstar panel. Topped, supercropped, trimmed lower branches off, currently using around 1600ppm nutes.

Hey Farmers,

Day 35 of flower, ppms at 1800 and ph steady at 6.3. Had a minor mishap this week, the drip ring was clogged and it took me a couple of days to notice as it is covered by foil. Ph took a huge spike and I think I had some lockout as I have a few crispy leaves. Cleared it out and everything back to normal, but bringing the ppm's down a bit tonight just to be sure the crispies aren't overfert.

So to any farmers out there with a 4x4 or larger screen, I have a question. I weaved the PE for 30 days to fill the screen as much as possible, and now am looking at (what most of the grow journals I have read for PE) about 30 days or thereabouts for her to finish. How much upward growth will still happen at this stage? It just feels like she should only have a couple weeks before she just starts fattening.

Thanks in advance and all comments are welcome.

Peace,

Daoist

Yeah I couldn't afford to push out the date for flowering anymore with the summer heat coming and I'd guess including that center section I have about 25% of my screen unfilled.

Your CMH not bringing out the yield you were hoping for?

buds look real nice it took forever to veg I dunno wheather to give her another run with a different strain an le my screen fill out more aswell nugs look insane just gone into my 5th week of flower starting to fatten up an stink bad

Here's couple of diy water pumping columns.. One is made from 3/8" drip irrigation fittings, except for the 1/8" elbow that carries the air..... They came from Ace Hardware... The smaller one uses an 1/8 inch inside diameter Tee fitting instead of a 90* You need to add a short piece to the bottom of the tee...... The small one will move a little more than a quart on hour, to a height of 3'. The smaller dia moves less water, but moves it higher...
The other works as well as the WF pumping column... The pumping tests were done with the cheap pump that comes with all WFs...
JZS, this column will work to circulate reservoir water if you put a 3/8 elbow fitting at the bottom... You can figure out the through the wall connections connecting the reservoir to the WF. I'd do it with hose fittings if thats all I had......

hey mate done this in a 10 litre bucket like 2 and a half gallons 13mm with 4mm 90 bend an then hooked air pump up looks a bit crude but works a treat.
get my next baby started before I pull my current grow


cheers mytwhyt thanks for the idea mate

heres how my grow is coming along this was a week ago

this was week 5 im going into week 6 tomorrow screens not filled out very well first attempt with a waterfarm and first attempt with a scrog so looks like i'll get a few buds so im happy

Looks great Jzs! It's always a learning experience.

I am at 6 weeks tomorrow. I think I probably should have gone longer on veg to make sure my screen filled out more too or maybe try two waterfarms under there next time. I am still hoping for 6-8 oz off the PE but we will see.

Cheers,

Daoist

Hey Daoist looks real nice yeah just more veg mate or 2 waterfarms for a shorter veg im happy with mine mate. I set up a little bucket setup an popped a jack herer same as dr tric see how I go with that one.

Nice Grow daoist spun out how we had em going at around the same time an same strain


I pulled mine at day 55

I loved growing the Pineapple express easy to grow an the buds are very Dense.

I'd love to have another crack at growing her

Good job on the PE Daoist and Jzs147. Yeah, suprised to see no action here. I have 3 C99s and 1 Bluehash going in waterfarms on week 2 right now. pictures to come soon.

search google for the news about the Uruguayan government selling legal pot to their citizens at $1 per gram. ha ha ha.

i was in Uruguay last year for vacation and they were smoking in parks and in soccer games and the cops just left them alone. it was like heaven! and now the government will start supplying everyone at $1 per gram. wow!

hey fella's I eneded up with 8 and a half oz's
