if moeny isnt an issue, caddy. i would do liquid koolbloom first then after about two weeks would shift to the dry koolbloom. I have seen both liquid all the way through and dry all the way threw in the same strain and surprisingly the switch made a difference in oil production


Not that there could be much more on that Wreck ;) Good Job!

no prob man. congrats on an awsome job with those girls. I have a question though. Did you have any issues with root space in your waterfarm. I am on about week 6 of veg and my roots have almost filled the whole lower res. Im kinda conserned. Also did you have any issues with sediment build up from the hydroton? thanks angain for your help and keep up the good work!

I went from the 'aggressive bloom' dose, to 'ripen' for 1 week, then plain water for the remaining 9 days. If I could do it all over I would have not done the ripen, just plain water for the last 2 weeks.

yeah im doing plain water for now. hey i see that u use the GH waterfarm controller. do you ever emply the plant res? right now i dont have a controller yet so i manualy dump the water out and change it that way. but it is a huge pain in the ass and i was wondering if you had any better ways of changing the water

I had no problems with the roots, although they do get outta control, especially if you add airstones to each bucket. I add airstones at flowering.
I do have some sediment from hydroton, even though I soaked it twice and rinsed it thrice. Sometimes I find the rings not dripping full force and it is due to some gunk in the hose.
I have roots coming out when I flush.....


roots at harvest...



I would'nt be concerned, by the time they get huge it's harvest time! :mrgreen:

I drain each bucket when I change the res/contoller. I flush each bucket with ph balanced water every 2-3 weeks. I have a couple extra buckets that I place the plant and grow chamber in while I clean the bucket if needed. I can imagine it's a pain in the ass with no controller, you could always build one. do you have a shut-off valve on it?

by drill holes do you mean adding an air stone into the res?
Click to expand...
no i mean literally drilling holes. the holes seem to be too small and by drilling bigger holes the roots can grow a lot bigger and healthier. caddy has a good example of how much more healthy the roots are compared to mine.

OOOO Gotcha. Im sorry, it was so simple and to the point that i missed understood. there is a whole bunch of upgrades that you can do to help your ladies do better in the farms. Make sure you dont drill holes bigger then 3/8ths or so, or else the hydroton will fall through. you honestly dont even look like you need any mods ;) everything looks great. keep it up

If they are yellow, then they have no chlorophyl, which means there is no photosynthesis going on. This means they are not creating any energy, so there is no reason to leave them on.
