WATERFARM SCROG!!!! ..first frightening waterfarm grow....Dr.Amber Frankenstien

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Deep Blue F3.
She is a lovely girl.

Her ppms are 1200.. constant and steady. No signs of any problems at all. I wonder if cutting her tap root at birth made her so resiliant?
I did a rez change this evening. She is really starting to smell awesome, very sweet. I did a bit more pruning as well. Same feed as ususal. seems happy as can be with just a few leaf light bleaching areas in her highest buds.. so i moved the light up a bit.
Lights out, first row of picture.
Stay sticky and sweet and Have a lovely weekend.

Awesome work! I think I counted like 35 tops in these pictures. That insaneeee! I'm sure if she finishes, you're going to be very happy with the yield. Looking frosty though. He leaves are huge! She looks really health, Ambz. Great job!

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Thank you so much for the nice posts. She does look wonderful, i cant really believe my eyes sometimes.

Im a bit concerned about her drip ring . The two holes closest to the air pump line are dripping nicely but the other holes arent dripping at all.
As you know i have 2 air pumps going, so there is plenty of air trying to push the water through the drip ring. I wonder if makeing the holes larger was a bad idea. ?
I hear constant gargling in the lower rez.
I just know her root ball is so massive that water is having a really hard time circulating at all.
Should i be concerned at this point, or just let it be and hope this will be ok. ????
PPms climbed about 250 points from yesterday evening, no biggy. I added back a gallon of 900 ppms nute solution and anthother half gallon of straight h20.

Good Morning Doc.At This Point In Your Grow I Would Leave It Alone.You Can Try This Raise The Back Of The Drip Ring And lower The Front.I Runied 2 Drip Rings Trying To Get Mine Right.Too Big Of Holes Or Too Many Holes Will Cause The Drip Ring To Not Work Properly.Make Sure Your Ring Is Not Caked Up With Dried Salts.Peace And Hair Grease

good morning doggie, yeah i think i will just leave the drip ring alone then / i dont want to really screw things up by trying to crank it up by the outlet where it goes into the lower rez and disconnect things down there..... , although i might try to remove some pebbles on the slow side and try to lower the drip ring on the slow side, maybe that will help. the drip ring is not caked up at all, i removed it yesterday and checked. . thanks for the feedback and help with this issue. how did the harvest go this weekend?

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

i will be able to finish the deep blue.
things are moving much more slowly then he told me!!! wtf???
anyway
i have been alotted some very needed time and its on my side now to finish out this gorgeous girl properly.
thanks for all the good positive vibes.
I am looking forward to some killer big fat buds off this beauty .and I am looking foward to sharing them with you as she towers with flowers.
by the way..
how much longer do you think she needs?

I'm great ta much, glad to hear your goin to get to finish the Deep Blue

I'd consider an airstone in ur res if not already there. Turn it into a kinda dwc. This will ensure plenty of oxygen and she wont drown like RobbieP's SLH. When the root gets bigger in ma farm a reduce the amount goin in to allow for this, not puttin the airstone in mine with the bigger size res I think I can get away with it, not so sure on the smaller waterfarms after seeing what happened to the SLH

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

thanks for the suggestions Scotty.
wow, i didnt realize robbie drowned his lemon. last i saw he was battleing spider mites but i was wondering why his buds looked under deveoped.
I really dont think an air stone at this point will do any good.
I can hear the bubbleing in the rez so i know its getting plenty of air in there.
and placing an airstone wont really make a big differnce i think . The roots are soo damn packed like bricks in there rez i know it , i know it.. so any circulation back up into the top is very difficut. but im sure she is getting a decent amount of oxygen below from the sounds of it.

the one draw back on this waterfarm unit is def the size of the bucket i think. If my tent were smaller and the plant smaller, no prob,
I dont know..

 

[scotia1982]

Definately the key to the smaller waterfarm is air in the res, Rob was saying something about he was having to fill it up so much to keep up there may have been no oxygen getting to the roots because they get so big. The Aquafarm res is 35 ltrs but once you get to the last for weeks you can prob get away with 20-25, I never put more than 30 in easier to work out my nutes lol. When I took the CC down the root had picked the airstone off the bottom and was cuddling it in the middle of the ball lol, so mayb if you run it again you could try from start, see if makes any difference take it easy peasy matey

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

yaeh scotia, i will throw in an airbubbleer nxt time for sure. what the hell.
SO i tilted the drip ring / i moved some of the pebbles otta the way and tried to push it down and then put some pebbs over it. The pebbs are so light they really dont help to hold the drip ring down, i might use a heavier rock now that i think about it.
I do think this slight shift in gravity is helping! thanks for suggestion dawg.

I made some ghee canna butter using some deep blue fan leaves.
I ground them up in a coffee grinder and got just over an oz of trim.

I melted a lb of ghee butter then added the trim and a couple glasses for water . I cooked it on low in my crock pot for about 6 hours.
I let it cool and filtered it through some cheese cloth.
I put it in the fridge till the water and butter separated.
Using the original butter jars i put the cannabutter back into the jars ..

Does anyone have any good simple delicious recipes for ghee cannabutter.I found that its kinda crumbly after attempting some fudge cookies last night.

 

[scotia1982]

Looks sweet ambz defo.makin some with ma bc & livers trim,and u say the ghee doesnt stink ur house out?

I've been makin gumby.hash again today jst waiting on my bucket to settle before i syphon it off

 

[mike91sr]

I had to angle my drip rings too, for some reason they settle back towards where they started so you gotta be able to angle them further than you want them to stay(if I understood the issue you're having).

ps that butter looks yumm, never heard of ghee before. I know too much salt can cause crumbling, maybe it has something to do with the salt content in the butter??

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

hey scotty and mikey,
yeah the ghee butter doesnt reek at all, it only smells under the cover. DO you have an easy recipe for the gumby hash? I havent tried making that yet and would like to try it. not sure about the salt content in the ghee butter mikey, i will check on that.

Freeze your fresh trim firstly, u will also need a couple of buckets and 1-2kg of ice.

Put your frozen trim in bucket & add the ice, top up with a little cold water so that ice is floating freely.
Use a food mixer/processor to agitate the bucket constantly for a good 10-15 mins.
U then need a sieve to pour the mix through into the clean bucket, removing the ice and squeezing all the water out of your trim through the sieve as you go.
Once you have dne this all you need to do is let gravity do its thing and let it settle to the bottom. After about 4-5 hours it should be settled, syphon off the water until your about 1/2 inch from the layer at the bottom.

Pour wots left into a big glass jar and leave to settle for an hr or two, once it has settled again syphon dwn as close as you can get. Then I pour onto a big sheet of grease proof paper (curved into a small bowl if you know what a mean) and leave to dry, once about 90-95% dry you can shape it into a ball or whatever shape you want

It takes a while but its worth it in the end
