Morning Doc. I see you got you'r new toy's ! Mine came to, what a nightmare to set up eh! We should kick-off the grow's around same time though !
Its early door's so and you got me laughing with that Pic. of the kid. :) What a thing to wake up to ! Its those eye's, you can see there's a wee darling underneath though :)

I used to have a couple of they water/aqua farm's. They work a charm for growing big beast's and will fill your tent, or keeping mother's that require alot of cloning :mrgreen:

Peace to Amber's Barbie.

Alrighty Doc. The old waterfarm wh! I got 2 of them from a guy who got para. and needed some smokables :) One was like your's ( the big square ) and there was a smaller round one around half the size/capacity. It was a few year's back, and i was'nt in a situation to use them more than that once, so i gave the bigger one away, ( and its still running :) ), and i think ive got the smaller round one somewhere. I was just thinking about it today. Going to look it out, as it will fit in the tent and still leave some room :)

Apart from how they set up with the air tube going into the pipe to push the water up to the drip ring, I used to throw in an air stone aswell, and like i said they do a good job.
I did'nt have Hydro. kit either. ( testers ect... ) and was'nt sure about it all going tit's up. But would deff. give it a go now. I'll see if i can locate it and we may aswell go along together with that too :) :) :)
But ant Q's i can help with just fire away. I actually made a couple small one's back in the day too !

Peace Amb's

awesome bud porn harvest shots 80degreez..thanks for getting some big buds up in this journal...helps to keep the goal allive
Thanks kev,mr2shim, Cinders.. for the waterfarm help and info. I have to say i had no idea how technical the waterfarm was. With my new ppm meter that i cant get to work and figuring out how the waterfarm should be put together(no instructions included) and reading many waterfarm journals.. im getting a bit overwhelmed and nervous....
How often should the res be changed?
Should i use my MH bulb for veg or my HP the entire grow?
Is using my tap water ph'd down ok.. or do i need distilled or RO water?
how do i stabilize the temp in the resovoir so mold doesnt accumlate?
why do some use foil over there hydroton and others leave it exposed?
how do i measure ppm from the water i give fresh or the water in the res.. ?

i dont know if i can do this... or really want to to be honest... im thinking about returning all my stuff and just doing another 12/12 grow..
BUT if you guys can help me out here.. i will do this.
im trying not to get discouraged but 12/12 seems so easy for me now....
im going to be thinkin about all this this weekend.
Ya'll have a good one and i will be checkin out your wicked grows...hope all is going brilliantly in your gardens.
luv

Res should be changed every 7-10 days. It's fairly easy to setup. The instructions are on General Hydro's website. But here's the link.
http://www.generalhydroponics.com/genhydro_US/instructions/WaterFarm_instructions.pdf

I think it's always best to use distilled or RO water if you can. I used tap water for my soil grow but that was well tap water. Never used city water, I wouldn't recommend it at all. You can get a nice cheap portable RO filter from ebay for 65 bucks.

I wouldn't worry about the temp in the res as long as the temp in the tent is fine and as long as you use cold water. Some people use foil to keep the waterfarm splashing down. It's pretty bad with that. It's covered the entire bottom portion of my tent with salt buildup from the nutes. You measure ppm 2 ways. When you're adding fresh nute water, make sure you measure the ppm before adding and you can check the ppm whenever you like to see what the plant is doing. You do that by taking the blue hose and pour some in a cup and measure that. if it's taking up nutes or not. If it's taking up more nutes than water the ppm goes down. If it's taking up more water than nutes the ppm goes up. If it's taking up equal the ppm will stay the same.

Do not return your stuff. DO NOT. Keep that waterfarm stuff! You will not regret it. Yes you should use a MH for veg and a HPS for flower I think. If you can get a 5500-6500k MH for veg.

Here's a portable RO filter I've seen a few people on here have and say it's great.

I'll do my best on this one haha, but as i said i was doing it" cowboy style " ( Respect to the Don ).
I was told to do a light mix of coco through the pebbles,
And not sure how often to change the res. I just used our fine Soft water, distilled in bottles :)
The guy i gave mine to is still using it and got it another, working like a charm, so i'll give him a bell with you'r list and see what i can find out for you. He has all the tester's and trunchon's :o
I think he get's a bit mildew forming on top, but he's a lazy Lad that one !

I'll get back to you. Keep em Popping! ( seed's ) lmfao on your Rep.

another smiley 5 in the morning wake n bake :)

There you go, mr2shim must have been typing same time as me. lol.
They can be awkward to put together first tiime, but its quite simple's. Like i said me and a mate made a couple small ones! Wish I kept The larger one now !!!! I hear you mr2shim, i think if i got it running properly, or joined R.U.I at the time, i would still have it. Ive saw my mate get 10 Oz dry out it without scrog or anything more than topping.

Catch you later Doc.
I'm away to medicate. " week-end Wooooop Wooooooop ! "

ahhh, mr.2shhim.. thanks a million.. cinders thanks for all the support as well.
Good news. I got my shit together...found the instructions and put the waterfarm unit together!!!!!!!!!!!
All thanks to your awesome vibes my way!
my ppm meter i thought wasnt working because i was just placing it in my tap water..but when i put it in the FloraNOva Bloom it popped up to 225! so it works!!!

IM TOTALLY STOKED, im flushing the waterfarm pot now with the hydroton in it like SCOTTYBALLS says to do in his manual..for a week to get the dust and clay grime out.
im going to order a pineapple express g13 lab seed im pretty sure..
Should i really get another air pump?
should i really get an air stone..?
Thanks for all the help and links.. these posts are invalueable to me.. You guys are the bestest!
I have so much to do tomorrow organizing everything in the grow area and studying up on techniques....oh...and i have some good photos already of what i have accomplished.. so i will save them for my waterfarm journal once i get my damn seed!!
Have a fantastic weekend.
Doc

Yes get another airpump. Go to petsmart and get the one with 2 air lines. I have a top fin 3000. It's been running like a champ since day 1. That airpump that comes with the waterfarm is junk. The airstone is iffy. If you get one make sure it's glued down or secured to the bottom of the bucket. I say drill more holes as well. I did both and the root system of my plant is monstrous. I'm not sure if it's because of the airstone or the extra holes or both. Yea rinse those hydroton rocks for a long time. I tony rinsed mine for like 20 minutes and it didn't get most of the clay dirt off.

I say grow some exotic strain that isn't really grown, but that's just me. I want to grow a VK eventually. There are soooo many strains to pick from, it's truly like a kid in a candy store. It's really difficult to pick. G13 PE seems like a really good strain and works well with the waterfarm. Are you going to scrog? I assume yes.
