    Waterfarm issues!! First hydro grow.

    Nice looking plant, nugs look a little small for so close to harvest but that's probably the strain. I'm not knocking your method or your experience Chigga, I'm offering my opinion and experience to the OP. But since the OP hasn't responded in 3 days I'm going to assume his plant didn't make it...

    Waterfarm issues!! First hydro grow.

    I'm no expert either, but I do consistently get a gram per watt every 100 days or so, for whatever that's worth. I've never used the Lucas formula either, although I have read about it. I use the, let the plant to tell me what my ppms should be method. Water goes down PPMs go up, too much...

    OG #18 strain and its my first grow ever and I'm loving it!

    Looks great, healthy and happy. Be aware that during my OG#18 grow I needed copious amounts of Cal/Mag in flower, to go along with my regular nute schedule. She is a Mag whore :)

    Waterfarm issues!! First hydro grow.

    Did you pH your hydroton and run the system for a week before starting your plant? Are you waiting at least 30 minutes after mixing and pHing nutes to get a stable pH/EC reading on your solution before adding it? are you doing a complete res change once a week or every time you add back a whole...

    Mold plz help

    So I'm in the last week before chopping and I find mold growing inside a few of the cola's. I want to know if I can save any of the others that don't show any sign of mold, or do I have to trash the whole plant? I grow in a waterfarm using scrog technique, this was a very over grown grow, with...

    How often should I change my MH and HPS Bulbs?

    Hey RIU, My question is the title, I have been running the same MH and HPS bulbs for 2 grows, and have just started the flower phase of my 3rd grow with these bulbs. I wasn't too concerned with the MH bulb, but the guy at the hydro store tells me I should replace them after 2 grows. I just...

    GH Water Farm

    This will be my last attempt to explain it, hopefully you understand, You obviously come from a soil growing backround, since your so concerned about over watering. The medium in a soil grow is soil, the medium in hydro is water. You would'nt pull your plants roots out of the soil (it's...

    GH Water Farm

    The only way to over water with a waterfarm is fill the resevior up past the hydroton (and that's just a guess as I've never tried it), you only add water to the white water line on the blue drain tube. If you don't run the pumps 24/7 then that's your problem. You seem dead set on using the...

    GH Water Farm

    Hi Faded, The reason it says nothing about timing is because the air pumps run 24/7, so whats there to say about that. Since you will always have roots that are in the medium, and growing down to the solution if they dry out your screwed. I recomend getting a better air pump, as the one that...

    GH Water Farm

    Hi faded, A waterfarm is not aero, its a combination of DWC and airated drip, if you don't run 24/7 they will not do well or die. They are made to run 24/7. We lost power for 8 hours today and even though I did a full resevior change out on Friday, I'm so worried about algea or root rot I'll...

    GH Water Farm

    Hi Faded, You should leave your pump on 24/7 for the duration of your grow with a waterfarm. The idea is that you are constantly feeding airated water and nutes, and if your roots dry out your plant will be stunted and possibly die. Here's a thread that all waterfarm users should read and I...

    Trichomes amber on leaves milky on buds?

    Hi Fab, Yes Fab I mean Trichomes and not pistils lol, thanks for checking though :p, and what you stated about the trichs turning amber is what I had understood as the determining factor for when to harvest, but now I'm not so sure. It would be nice to get the opinions of a few experienced...
