Thanks for the kind words everyone. Im glad I could help out, I have not done a grow log in over 8 years but when I came to the site I saw much of the same problems I saw a long time ago back on Overgrows website.. not that its a bad thing just that it seems to be a common misconception that more is better.. when in fact 9 times out of 10 keeping it simple will yeild you greater rewards.. when it comes to hydro it really is simple if you just stick with the basics.. I have put together a thread that if you follow to a T there is no reason you cant yeild just as much if not more depending on the strain you choose.. I have not used any Kabloom, epson salts, darkenergy, BC nutes, or any other BS thats marketed towards growing MJ.. remember its just a fucking weed and long as the plant is happy your going to be rewarded in the end.

There are 3 main keys to getting a good harvest

1. Roots- This is probly the most important and is why the waterfarm is so good at what it dose.. why? Surface water!! all the water that is pumped over hydroton is all surface water and 95% of the oxygen is picked up on the surface layer. The bigger your root mass the bigger your yeild will be period. Its also really easy to kill roots in hydro just a day or 2 of to high ppm levels and its going to crush your root system mess that up and the plant is going to have issues getting even basic's like water and if it cant even take up water forget about the nutes, the plants main concern is water at that point.. How do you know if the roots are damaged? have a look back in my thread when I too was guilty of this with my Pineapple Express... the plant went from drinking a gallon a day to drinking less then a half gallon.. this means the plant is not happy.. Flush with plain water 2-3 times a day for about a week dont worry about PH as we are not worried about nute lock out or uptake. Soon you will start to see her drink more when the roots have repaired them selves.. when it starts to drink its normal amount gradually start to introduce the nutes again.. I have had wonderfull harvest using just 1/2 strength nutes with no lack in yeild so keep in mind less is always better.

2. Light- LED's, CFL's, T5's will all yeild you bud... However if you want big dense nugs you MUST buy a decent light. 250w-400w HPS or the new CMH will give you great yeilds as long as make the most of it.. by that I mean MYLAR EVERYTHING the more you can get that light bouncing around and hitting the sides of the bud the bigger and denser them nugs are going to get.. I would go as far to say the Mylar yeilds me a extra 4oz.

3. Nutes- you all should know my take on nutes by now if you have read the thread.. GH Flora Nova Bloom is all you need one fucking bottle pepole. you dont need 3 part mixes +3 additives all that shit should be in one bottle like GH has done.. If you want to waste your money on that shit then go for it but your buds will be no bigger or have more crystals then if you used one bottle of Nova bloom. Also its almost impossible to fuck up a one part nute program.. If not have fun calculating and trying to remember how much bloom,grow,micro,flower,Micronutes Etc.. just to make a gallon of fucking plant food.

@ Scotty, thanks again for all the advice and tips. My buddy and I have the power kush going right now in a 3 x 3 tent with a 400w MH/HPS. The growth is so much faster than soil. I am already impressed. Using only Flora Nova Bloom, and going to make our own feeding schedule based off of yours. Will veg longer than you because we have more space to work with. But yeah, so far so good. I'm sold on your setup. When I am able to grow in my own place, I'm going to go with 2 tents and 2 waterfarms.

SCOTTYBALLS...... I want you to try an experience since you seem to be able to judge your yields pretty well.

Next time, put a lil speaker in your grow tent playing "happy music". They say plants grow better when they have happy music haha

SCOTTYBALLS... I've been reading a bunch of different shit from all kinds of forums/treads for so long and just could not make up my mind in what to use and how to use it! But THANKS to YOU my search is finally OVER! WOW... Your well explained and easy to fallow system seems SOOOOO FOOL PROOF!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

I had a LARGE notebook full of info of all the thing I needed to use costing in the $1000's , tossed it and replaced it with a SMALL sticky post-it piece of paper w/everything I needed on it costing in the $100's... lol Bottom line... "Small box, Small light Small budget" = BIG SWEET GROW!!!!!

You're the man... Thanks Again!

yes that will work fine just make sure to get the calibration solution with it..

What PPM calibrating solution do you get, is it specific to the wand or does it have to do with with a nuetral setting which I have no clue what that is. Or is the PPM in the calibrating solution just used to make sure its set right so it doesnt matter what PPM solution I get.

Hope that makes sense, im pretty blazed off my Red Diesel from Barneys Farm(If you haven't grown it you should its on my Top 3 strains I have ever smoked I got the seed for free from attitude) and just want to make sure I get the right solution.

Is this stuff ok its a great price.

I have that PPM meter and that is not the correct callibration solution. The calibration solution is 1382ppm. This is where I purchased my pH and ppm meters:

Their prices are excellent and they ship fast as well. Hope this helps
