R/o systems really aren't that dear I got an awesome one for $100 it just hooks up to an outside tap like a normal hose brings my ppm down to 0.2ppm. And its highflow so I dint have to woory. Undersink conversions with storage tanks etc start to get expensive bit shop around u will find a bargain. Works out way cheaper than bottled water in the long run.

I think mine came from purewaterclub.

Sweet. Good stuff mate.
When I get my micro should I start off with a fresh batch of 1 tsp per 2 gallon to introduce it lightly?
I'm not going to give her any FNB for at least another week or two. Talked with Dayzt and he said to take it easy with the neuts aswell. Going to increase her slowly with increases of 50/100 PPM.
I would love a RO system but I have to make do with tap water stood out in a box for a couple of days. I get a reading of 200 PPM from the tap water. When taking tests from the the WF res it's readings are 350 PPM. Going to be a bit complicated but i'm sure i'll get my head around it. If not, this forum and it's amazing people will help me out, lolz.

Way less Nova Bloom and I'm using Flora Micro, last grow I only used NB. Right now I'm at 1/2 tsp per gallon of NB and 2 tsp of Micro. Mixed up a batch for when I'm switching to flower it's 1tsp of NB and 2 tsp of Micro. So far she's showing 0 nute burn which is great. The SD last grow had quite a bit of nute burn and took a while to recover from it. Other than that I'm not really doing much different. Covered the res to keep the splash down and the gnats from trying to live in my tent. Put the inline fan in a box which makes it so much quieter. Oh and I'm gonna veg this one a week longer than the Strawberry Diesel. At least that's the plan. Today is 29 days from sprout.

Ok Now I See Said The Blind Man.I'm Using only Nova Bloom.Because I'm Growing Auto's And From What I Can Gather It Will Start To Flower In 16 Days From Seed.But When I Grow Photo Plant's I Will keep This Formula In Mind.Peace :joint:

Very mild change of plans. I sat in front of the tent for a good hour thinking about when to switch to 12/12. Well I decided the plant is at the right point and tomorrow is gonna be the first day of 12/12. It's a lot larger than the SD was and so much healthier so I think it'll stretch better and fill out the screen faster and the nodes are alternating. So I think a 29 day veg is good enough for this round. p.s. I still need help picking a strain for next grow. I was thinking purple kush but that is clone only from what I hear.

Why don't you try something from the Mandala seeds? I liked their catalogue and the features they've got

Jus rung up a local tropical fish shop and they sell RO water at £2.70 for 25 ltrs. So i'm going to get some of that for now.
Any ideas on what RO systems are best? Herd the 4 part with a DI chamber is the best to get 0 PPM RO water, altho i'm not sure if i'll get a system that goes under the kitchen sink. Would rather have one that connects to a outside tap. I'll look around.

For my next grow i'm thinkin Cheezeberry Haze or Chocolope =D

Go to ebay and look at portable RO systems, they have a 100 gallon per day system for 65 shipped.

Nice lookin lady. Wandered over from the scrog thread looks like it's about to be a huge plant. Once they start taking off in the waterfarm they really grow huh?

Yea they do grow quite a bit. My SD grow, the plant was about 8" tall, when it was done from stem to top of bud one of the branches was 30" Used a paper tape measure since it wasn't vertical. That's almost 4 times the size.

Hell yeah thanks for insights. I'm doing a waterfarm scrog under a 250 in a 2x2 tent as a side project...so I'm trying to figure out the proper time to flip. Unfortunately, I have never scrogged with a farm or flowered this strain so it's gonna take a little guess work lol... If you got a min I would appreciate if u could drop by my thread and let me know what you think of my farm setup! Thanks and smoke some SLH for me, it looks A++ haha

Small little mishap tonight, I set the timer last night for 12/12 or so I thought. Went up stairs and was like,.. what time is it? Oh crap it's 7:30! Should be off. Well come to find out I set it to come on at 6am and to go off at 6am. :lol: Light was on for an extra hour and a half... Set it correct this time and made sure I double checked and triple checked. I think I checked it 10 times. Funny thing, last night when I was setting it before I plugged it back in I thought to myself. "you better check that again" and but instead I thought "eh, it's right" LOL

Yeah those timers can getcha. My buddy had a misshap with his timer, no floods for 2 days in his hydro, almost lost it all. Caught it just in time...but as soon as you start relaxing thinking u got it down good ole murphys law throws you a curve ball.

Nothing special really to say right now, I think the plant more less lst'd itself. I really did very little this time in veg to get the secondary branches into the light, but they are there. The fan leaves grow seriously fast and they grow really far out away from the bud sites, just like the description says. Pretty sure I got a good pheno this time. Well here's one picture, today is the 3rd day of 12/12. Changed res out yesterday with 1tsp of NB and 2 tsp of Micro, ppm after filling was 570. pH was 5.8.

looking good shim. i found i had similar results with the buddha no training was necessary she pushed her branches straight out and up past the fan leaves and by the time she hit the screen she had plenty of good branching showing through at the top. my only trouble is now there are so many branches to deal with on the screen lol

Also worth a mention, I topped her this morning @ the 10th node. SD had 10 nodes before the stem broke so I figure that's a good point to top her.

interested to see how the topping works for u. i was going to top mine once it reached the screen but then when it got there i couldnt see the point because im just gonna train it all under the screen anyway so it is essentially just one more top if u leave it there. i think topping is more essential early on to promote branching but once it hits the screen and you bend the top over the auxins get shared more evenly anyway.
