ther was a craigslist post for ten of the water farms for 150 this week, could not do it but thought of your grow and man the visions I had lol..
You know, every time I've been in there pruning her, I think that I should be turning those clippings into clones. Sad fact is, I just don't have the space to keep a PE mother and still use the tent (and my future space) as bloom rooms. I do have some leftover PE beans though. Moving forward, the White Fire will be the first strain I keep a mother of, which is actually the whole point of that grow. Once I have a third space though, I'll likely try to keep a few mothers.I cannot believe how tight your nodes are! I must have one sativia rich phenotype there is some real estate between my nodes. Are you going to keep any mother clones off the PE?
Thanks Amber! I picked up my string at Home Depot, I think. It was labelled as "soft garden twine," which seemed like a good fit for the job. Tying the knots wasn't actually all that difficult as I really only tied two knots. It's one long piece of twine that I wrapped tight around each screw that I placed in the frame. Keeping the tension on the twine while I did the threading though was a little tricky. I'll take a close up picture for you next time I'm in there!AHHH! LOOKIng awesome kriznarf... this is going to be such a wicked harvest. What type of string did you use on your scrog screen..? would you recommend it and if so where did you purchase it. Was it hard to tie the knots?
Congratulations on the babies and the new set up .. thats really exciting. Your PE is so pretty and healthy with beautiful deep green leaves.
hey did you see that sunrise today.. it was incredible!!!
take care.

so delicious!
It's not a very big reservoir, so you don't have to change the rez so often as practically refill it. This means that I'm taking a sample from the remaining water at lights on each day, noting the EC, then adding fresh, nuted water depending on what I think she needs. I don't have to mess with PH much since Flora Nova Bloom (the only product I'm using) has excellent PH buffers. I test PH from time to time and it's always between 5.5 and 6.3. You can def find more info on how to deal with the waterfarm reservoir in this thread and in the journals of others. mr2shim and Dayzt have excellent journals for learning about waterfarms. It's an awesome way to grow, but it does require a fair amount of attention.I do not know if this has been answered before,but do you have to change the water using this set up or just ad nute's and pH ?.If someone would not mind telling me.I am looking to get this set up and need a better understanding of what kind of care they will need with out spending hours trying to find information when every time I start to read get side tracked by all the bud porn......OhMy
Don't worry, I want to find out how he has done the clamp idea too hehe. I'm going to steal it too if that's ok mate? ^___^man you really have it all worked out! its looks like a massive chuckle patch of love in there. Your plant looks like shes having a blast, smiling so happy!
The babies also look so happy and perky. You must have a special secret like playing them really good music , singing to them or whispering sweet nothings into thier trichomes..hahaha..
It would be super sweet if you could get that close up pic of the scrog screen for me. I just returned from Lowes and got the twine. ITs BLUE to make my deep BLUE girl happy..lol
I also picked up 4 clamps.. that took some time. I made sure the clamps i bought would not slide on a round pole. But coming here to your pictures i see i must have my idea on the clamps all wrong. I am not sure if i have the corrrect ones. And i thought i just needed 4 to prop the screen up on.. but it looks like i should have 8 and use them to sandwich the screen..
You wouldnt happen to have a picture of the clamps handy would you buddy? lol.. i really hope im not being a pain, but i really admire your style and would like to be like as good a gardener as you one day. thanks a million

Whats a UC system? Link?Awesome plant! We started out using water farms years ago, but then advanced to the Under Current system type, if you think the WF will increase growth and yield you should try a UC system....WOW!!
What size UC are u using?Awesome plant! We started out using water farms years ago, but then advanced to the Under Current system type, if you think the WF will increase growth and yield you should try a UC system....WOW!!
