Barney's Farm - Tangerine Dream - Waterfarm!

Hey guys, just to chime in with my two cents... I use the bigger brother of the waterfarm, the Power Grower. Works exactly the same but has 2 gallon reservoir which has saved my bacon a few times when I have very thirsty plants. Recently, I've changed to the dual outlet air pumps and running an air stone in the bottom of the bucket. Plants and root development very much improved. Very much worth the additional cost. And I'm getting SCROG fever following this thread.. Tony
Welcome tony - thanks for the info on the waterfarm. I agree with you and I think my next grow I'll try using the water-stone in the rez, we'll see. Thanks man!

Hi D, no pictures today?
Ha! Yeah I'll try to get some shots yet this evening and post'em up - keep watching! :leaf:

Okay, here's the pic update - didn't quite get them in time before the lights came on this time, but still not too bad. She's looking good this evening, and I'm starting to notice the buds thickening up more again now - a few of the stalks' buds have grown together forming a long bud from top to bottom - once they really bulk up they should come out nice! :leaf: :weed: :leaf:

Looks amazing bro...I was gonna use the waterfarm and scrog after following scottyballs but i have a hieght limit of 4ft and was worried about have to change the res and wasnt sure i would be able to do that when everything has to stay in place with the scrog, how are u able to change the res without moving it??

Wow D that's spectacular the 400 are doing the work !!!!
The internodal space in your TD is way to good for a sativa and those colas are coming long. What about the stretching, it's slow down already?
D, your TD is inspiration for the growers!!!
 
V nice work, so from what I have picked up you are flowering under a 600W HPS?
Germ at March 19 and hit 12/12 64 days later on May 22
I didnt catch the size of your flower room?
It is amazing to see what can be achieved with one plant in what looks like such a small space.
Congratulations!

Hey man - welcome! To change the rez, I bend down the water-level tube on the side, and drain it into a pail. I can tilt it right at the end too, so I get pretty much all the water out that way. Then I just pour the fresh mixture in through top right through the hydroton.

The stretching had slowed down to pretty much stopped, and has been for this past week or so. There's actually been more thickening of the buds these past few days than anything - it's nice to see the shorter stalks even getting thicker, and the tallest ones joining up each bud site all the way down the stems...looks real nice. Thanks again for the props - I really appreciate it!

Andy - As mentioned, I'm using a 400w HPS light (conversion bulb in a MH ballast). My tent is 4x4x7. Thanks for the nice words - come back and see this grow get exciting in the next 3-4 weeks!!

Thanks Paul! Yeah, that's not the first time I've came across people upset with Barney's - I don't know, I've had awesome results with their genetics and know many people who've confirmed the results I'm getting are really tasty, potent, and top-quality buds. :leaf:

How are the temps? I noticed you aren't using an air cooled hood. Looking amazing. How much was your setup? I'm a bit strapped for cash right now and can only afford a 250w light setup. Just got my Holy Smoke Strawberry Diesel seeds. Been wanting to grow that for years.

The temps are pretty steady at about 75 - 79 degrees during lights-on, and around 62-65 degrees during lights off. Humidity is bit high at around 60 percent, but I haven't noticed any problems from it.

My setup was about $500 cdn in total, with the waterfarm kit, tent, light, and bigger pump. That's a rough estimate, but the most expensive thing was the tent.

Good luck with the Strawberry Diesel - sounds like a nice strain.

Okie dokie - took some pics yesterday before the light came on... took some time and did some adjustments to a few of these pics to try and get some crisper views. Some are just too dark - I'm working on a way to get some better natural light in the tent before the big light comes on in order to get some even better pictures.

Enjoy!! :leaf:

Wow D!!!! I'm convinced, that's the way to grow the TD.... definitely... How many colas you got there, like 40?
They are starting to fill up and it's coming huge.
Nice grow you must be very happy D!!!!!!

Nice going! Some good looking pics aswell
Thanks! The new camera has been quite the learning experience, but I'm discovering something new all the time.

D, do you know which one is the main center cola or the one suppose to be the top cola ?
Thanks again budhuger - yeah there's at least 40-45 larger-sized tops on her. It's extremely difficult to count them all, but with the smaller branches budding up nicely as well, I think it's more around 50-60 if you count them all.

The tallest top that you see just left off-center is the main cola. It stretched the most out of all of them and will be biggest challenge for this plant to fill-out I'm guessing. But the nodes are nice and close on it so the buds are joining up nicely and they run right down into the canopy - as the branch curves down, the bud sites are staying vertical which is kinda cool.
