This is My first Journal
I will be growing using Scottyballs style using Floranova bloom only!
Seeds are from Kropking Seeds: Bubba Kush Reg. Fem. No more Autos for Me I'm ready to grow big.
I will start out on a 24/7 lights on and will slowly dial back once the Train Wreck Auto is finished(they have only slept for about 3 hours since seed in Sept.01)

Just about week 7 of flower on Train Wreck Auto in My 4x4x7 foot grow room in my basement.IMG_0399.JPG IMG_0400.JPG

In the front is My new Water Farm.

Up top you can see my fresh air movers (bathroom fans 120cfm x 2) that negative pressure My enclosure and go into a carbon filter via 4" ducting. I pipe the light enclosure(separate from the fresh air) back into the room to warm the room. It stays about 62F in the basement even with that warm air all year

and other air movers... IMG_0402.JPG
I have already prepared the clay pellets and ph soaked over night in chlorine free water and prepared 2 more gallons of water to fill the res. I prepared the seed the day before I always have half an inch if root within 48 hours I soak in normal tap water with chlorine and whatever is in it for 16-18 hours then wet 3 or 4 paper towels folded and place on a plate on My old stereo. make sure it does not dry but, not soaked but wet. so far I have had the same results from all of My Kropking seeds with 100% sucsess. (11 seeds so far).

Here you can see how I have made a way for some of the water from the ring to be directed near to where the seed is planted. not on it just by it. This area is also indented in a kind of a cone shape as well.IMG_0406.JPG IMG_0407.JPG
I have HIGH HOPES for this going perfect.
I will post a pic as soon as she pops her head up.

So...
About 6 weeks ago I was reading through threads on many sites because My current grow had slowed.and i found out. That "what I was doing growing in store bought potting mix with liquid nuts. is considered hydro". I mean I did nothing to the soil except, add lime and was expecting it to stay PH balanced.
Well...
I was wrong!
Dead wrong and my plants were suffering. which is criminal.
I am guilty.
At the same time I came across Scottyballs pinapple express grow and started getting the tools that i needed.
Waterfarm
Flora nova bloom
Green Headlamp (for night viewing)
GH ph kit
PPM gadget
and the results are in

Local water
PH 7.9
PPM 20:bigjoint:
Well now I know and I am not guessing LOL.
the good news
although the Train Wreck got slowed it is very happy now. just zoom in on the pics.:arrow::weed:

Sorry the Train Wreck is only 5 weeks into flower. Me bad!
This should give Me 4-5 weeks of veg. for the Bubba before dropping the screen I only hope the water farm will support 5 weeks of veg.
My baby is trying to poke up from the pellets this morning. I think this evening she will be up. super fast if she comes up this fast! I mean 4 days that will be a record for me. I'll take a pic if it happens.

Well it's a girl. she was getting her first leaves sticking out the side of her shell bound baby leaves so (without my reading glasses) I carefully removed the shell.
I have placed a tupperware container over her to keep the humidity up hope this helps

Please feel free to post any questions regarding the Train Wreck if you like.
I'm new to the Waterfarm so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

LOL.

Weed 20 days old.
From seed.

Really nice growth last 2 day's It's popping up super fast. 4 day's after starting Fert.
I took this photo just after lights out with my flash. I have to say the color of the leaves are perfect. The new set of leaves are puffy and full. I think this set of leaves will make it outside of the bucket rim. This girl is going to be a monster no doubt. It is so healthy.
I'm super stoked so far the Water Farm works great.
