Nirvana Ice - 400w - Waterfarm

how many airpump lines you got? one for the water dripper and do use gotz an airbubbler rock for the other bucket? your girl is real sexy.

One, it's a 2 outlet pump. It supplies the airstone and the drip ring. I believe it's the same one you have Amber hahaha.

i didnt know i was sopposed to have another line. i did see i had the extra littl hole for another line but.. so howz im going to get the line into the bucket ?

Drill or poke a hole with scissors in the res bucket. Make it slightly above the res fill line.

i see. thanks you

Couple more pictures, won't be posting anymore until Monday at least. I temporarily removed the screen, not sure if I will be needing it as this plant seems to be really good at scrogging/lst'ing itself. All seems to be going well, fan leaves grow much faster than the branches. Pretty good pheno I think I have here, we'll find out in the coming weeks just how good. I still need to figure out what kinda freak juice Dayzt is feeding his plants haha. My SD did NOT look that good @ 3.5 weeks into 12/12. I figure this one will go 8/9 weeks of 12/12. And I'm only 4 days into it. Long road is ahead. I'm sure this time it'll all be worth it. No signs of any nute deficiencies so that's great. All is green and well. So it's time to find a new hobby and let her do her thing. Will be glad when the local ski mountain opens for business so I can kill a lot of time there.

A note about the Strawberry Diesel, I don't think I got the best pheno because it doesn't quite pack the punch like some SD we had acquired a while ago. It's more of a mellow happy high, not very strong or very heady, just a nice relaxing high. The SD we had got was insane, made for a super trippy paranoid high that lasted forever. Think next grow I'm going to get another Nirvana seed or maybe a Greenhouse bean. Again, I'd love to grow purple kush but that's a clone only strain. She's drinking a nice bit of water, changed it day before yesterday and it's about 1/3 of a gallon low already.

hey there mr shim. drop the screen on again u wont regret it. i was hesitant about putting mine down just because she was looking so pretty and i kind of wanted that 1 big cola but now that it is down the amount of extra branching available to the light is rediculous. im so glad i did. only problem is the buddha is so fast growing she is filling that screen p too quick its only like day 3 of 12/12 lol. new photos up today if u want to check it out.

I put it back down shortly after taking the pictures, check the res before the light went off. It's pretty close to a gallon low now, I guess it's time to start using add back. I haven't been adding back at all, I would just let it run down the change it out a week later because she wasn't drinking all that much.

you should have a look into one of these 2 seeds:
Armageddon (had some 2years ago and this stuff is one of the most pungent smells ever) http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Armageddon/Homegrown_Fantaseeds/
Moby Dick (smoking some right now and this stuff is amazing. I'm tempted to do a grow on it) http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Moby_Dick/Green_House_Seeds/

There's so many juicy strains out there but I guess it's upto research to find out if they grow decent at the end of the day.

Seedfinder.com has some good reviews by people who have actually grown strains. U can find nearly any strain there so u dint just have to take the breeders word for how the plants will turn out

Thanks for the advice guys, I still have some time to figure out what seed I want this time around. I added 4 tsp(lol) of 3% H2O2 to the res this morning. See what that does to her. Res water is kind of warm(probably high 60's), need to go out and grab one of those stick on thermostats from pets mart later today.

ppm is 625 pH is 5.8

Best investment I ever made was an ec meter with ec/ppm and watertemp. Also your ppm will give u a different reading at different temps. This thing automatically corrects the difference for the temp. Its by hmm digital. Highly recomended

Yea those are really nice, buy me one.

Well if u already have a decent ppm meter its probably not worth the trouble. But another handy item u can pick up cheap are infrared laser thermometer things. U just point them at any surface click the button and it tells u the temp of it. Handy for finding all sorts of temps in your room like res temps temps at your growing tips and stuff like that

Yep got this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16896268001 works good for me, cheap too. 18 sometimes when it's on sale.

That's pretty cool, might have to buy that.

Today is the eighth day of 12/12, res change tomorrow. 700ppm, current ppm in the res is 680, pH is 5.8. The ppms have been slowly rising everyday meaning she's drinking more than she's eating. The ice,... hrmm. She is not a stretcher. It's probably grown ~2 in the past week of 12/12, however, she IS bendable. I've bent many of the branches and stems at 90 degrees without them breaking. I haven't broken on leaf or steam yet. Very very bendable. IMO would be the perfect strain to lst, not the best at scrog but she'll do. The tops are starting to bud. I'm going to try something different, I don't think i'm going to continually weave it under the screen until it's filled, instead I will weave until Friday and after than I'll either tie it down above the screen or just let it grow where it lies. Anyways, she is steadily drinking a bit more everyday, hasn't made it to a gallon a day yet but that's ok, she's got plenty of time to get that thirsty. BUT then again she's filled out more of the screen in 8 days than the Strawberry Diesel did so who knows.

oh man im so glad to hear that your plant is taking in more water than nutes and your ppms are climbing. my buddha is just sooooo hungry. im at the same stage as you and im already on 2000ppm and honestly she's eating that down 400ppm every day she still wants more aaaagh. im seriously freaking out because they are so high. i was starting to think that maybe its just normal for it to drop that much and that im just going crazy on my nutes. but to see that you are reading the way your plant feeds and that she is not asking for any more nutes makes me feel better cause it just go's to show that the system works but every strain is different.

what a cool set up and totally rad plant. she is really wild looking.I love her big fat leaves.

Yep have one I use for my Nitro RC cars to check engine temp. I used it to check temps of my lights, ballast, and the top of the canopy and my HANNA meter has a temp probe on it.
