Kaptain Kron I am pleased to hear that it worked good, i knew it would i am only useing 2 inch net pots and my clone bucket is bad ass,my reason is i dont want any foreign medium and im not worried abot my cutting being dry whatsoever.Serepis I am copying king scottyballs to a t with my grow and my plants are bad ass.I would never believe they are only 29 days old today since i put that little seed with 1/4 inch root in the waterfarm,I will never be able to thank scotty enough loving 1 nute only and my plants are definately not missing a thing.

i would not reccomend the rockwool you will not need much root growth trust me they will take of in the farm,actually the method i am going to try is first drilling holes in the bottom of my net cups ,then put some hydroton in and placing my cutting in that. I made my own clone bucket and i will be trying this very soon.I am hopeing i will then be able to place the net pot right in the farm with no change in the medium as well as no root damage,I am pretty sure it will work like a charm and the plant wont have to adapt to a new medium.

got it in rockwool and hydroton right now in mini farm ( figure i dont have to hit the plant right on and will still get watered ). I too am planning on just moving net pot from mini farm to big farm with no shock. But i like your idea with drill hole and just hydroton, will try that next time. thanks.

P.S. Is there a way i can search this thread for just SCOTTYBALLS posts only, that way i dont have to read every " WOW " lol. so i can follow from beginning w/out going though 40 pages. thanks in advance. again WOW great thread.

I have two farms going. One was a seedling in a rapid rooter. The other was too, but it germinated upside down and I carefully removed it and the seed/husk and placed the tap root down into the hydroton. I had to be very careful, as the plant needed to be supported a bit. I misted it several times a day until it was obvious that roots had grabbed a hold and the plant quit twisting with the sprayed water.

Both look well, however the first plant looks very odd, as EVERY leaf, every node and every tgrow tip is trying to be the main stem. I did nothing to it yet, however it seems ready to go under a net. You would have thought I pinched or lst it. EVEN NODES are popping out and branching off. It makes for a very weird looking plant. If anyone asks to see, I'll post a pic. I'm thinking this plant will need no training. The seed I rescued is growing fine and looks normal.

Thanks londonfog! I was real happy with the PE she gave me a few problem's but nothing that effected the final product.. the smoke is very smooth after curring for 2 weeks it really is a nice strain...However Im moving on to Barneys farm Vanilla Kush next since I cant seem to grow the same strain twice and im such a seed whore...

The Hash turned out really good I think?.. none of my friends will hit it either so I cant say how good it really is I guess Its going to collect dust... next time I think I will make a Dinosaur or somshit out of it least it would have been cooler to look at if knowone is going to smoke it.. how many pepole you know have a Hash dyno? :D

Hell I'll smoke that shit! haha

Here they are.... This plant is totally crazy. Everything is trying to branch out and in the process, it is crowding the growth. I may have to take action and cut back some of the growth so some of it can thrive and grow out of that knot.

Scotty you def wont be dissapointed with that vanilla kush its some of the best herb i've ever smoked. You can break off a .1 piece of a nug its so dense and get like 2 bong tokes out of it lol tripped me out. I tried to take a little snap and it ended up being pretty damn smokey lol good stuff tastes like some really old school kush that my friend has been growing for years and years, only the VK smells way better has a crazy ass smell to it.

I read scottys journal many times yes he makes many more 1/4 inch holes just remember it has to handle the weight of hydroton and plant.No he does not use any additional air stone but he does reccomend larger air pump.One tip i can give that i fucked up on is I didnt pre soak my hydroton in my prefered ph range first and i have battled that a bit but i love the 1 nute method my pe and sharksbreath are 28 days old today from 1/4 inch tail on a seed and they just hit my screen today which is 13 inches above waterfarms and they are beautiful plants indeed. I cant thnk scotty enough for writing this journal i am using two 400 cmhs for the whole grow so for very impressed.

Thx TMB - that helps! I can't wait to get mine started too! I've been toying with the idea to add a waterstone to the bottom bucket for a bit more air but I think it makes more sense to just get a bigger pump...then I don't think I'd have to bother with a timer to run air at intervals then either... =)

I use a 50 gal air pump to run two farms. Good pressure with dripping all the way around the rings.

Yeah last week I was cutting all the lower growth off (under the screen) and I was just going to flush it or save it for bubble hash... well I noticed it was really crystally so I let it dry out and give it a toke to get a idea of how it was going to taste and how strong it was.. well fuck flushing it in the toilet and fuck scraps for bubble hash Im smoking this shit right fucking now and let me tell you this is some ggggoooooooddddd shit! lol

Taste is fucking amazing cant really explain it very strong skunkish dankish undertones and really fucking smooth with out a cure WOW ! I see why it was a high time cup winner that for sure... other things I noticed dose not make me tierd at ALL low paranoia... could be cause the peices are so imature too.. I normally harvest earlyier then most just for this reason.... god I love early buds :)

Yo man - the VK is the REAL DEAL - I'm another happy farmer who can vouch for that! So far, this shit is twice as good as any other strain I've grown. Just wait until you try it in a bong-hit! I remember the first time I tried it that way and I ended up just staring at the wall for three quarters of an hour...lol. We've been smoking it (~9 oz) since July and it's really making it hard to switch to something else...but now we have Barney's Acapulco Gold just being harvested which is also turning out nice!

One question about your waterfarm - did you ever use a timer on your reservoir? (on/off for 15 min etc) Did you use any kind of water-stone in it either? I'm just setting mine up now and was wondering if it was worth doing that.... cheers man! Oh, if you like you can check out my VK and AG grow journals linked below. :leaf:

yeah man VK is KILLER, you will get tired off of it when its finished out and cured up. But its not like some indica's that make you REALLY tired you know. But it def makes takin a nap easier. kills pain. The flavor is very old school kush flavor. Im picking some VK up as well as some tangerine dream and some PE =) Thats the next order should make for a nice batch of mothers.

Scotty here it says that you started with Flora Nova grow, so did you just use that at the very beginning or was that a typo ????? This grow still has my mouth wide open saying OMG :o insane for one plant indoors doing it so easy..!!!

Airstones will not help at all.. you will pick up 10x more O2 with the water dripping over the rocks (all surface water)its somthing like 90+ % of O2 is picked up in the surface layer.. I run pump 24/7 just for this reason.. if you want more O2 just add a bigger pump this will increase the flow over the hydroton and increase O2.. airstons add O2 cause the bubbles agitate the surface layer the bubbles in the water itself dose not do hardly anything... Except for somthing like a Krusty bucket witch is practically using a shopvac blowing in a Resivor to make a foamy broth.. somthing no fishtank pump could ever come close to doing even a 500gal fish tank pump could not do it... Ill check out your links later ;)

There is no need to add anything I somtimes just add a small amount of Nova just to get the ph in check.. nothing to do with feeding..

scotty awesome gro!

I just finished up a soil grow and have ordered a waterfarm. Should be read to get started by the first of the year. I know your questioned out but i have a couple. I got tds meter and cal solution but didnt have enough when i ordered to get the ph meter. Would the flora nova bloom keep me balanced enough to just keep track of the ppm?

Also one more thing. When adding the flora nova bloom lets say at the end of the light cycle the bottom is down to 2 gallons. You add 2 gallon of fresh water and then check ppm and add flora nova bloom at that time depending on how much she took in? Do u just put the nute right in the top? (pour right onto the hydroton?)

And for the awesome grow/thread I would like for you to pick from the feminized seeds that I currently have and I will grow that one first! The scottyballs appreciation grow! lol

i have g13 pineapple express, g13 blueberry gum, dna sour cream, dna lemon skunk, and a reserva privada kandy kush!

thanks

My buddy and I have one plant currently in week 6 of flowering using 1 400w MH/HPS, a waterfarm, and ONLY flora nova bloom for nutrients just like Scotty. We are using tap water with a pH of 6.2 with a ppm of around 150. The flora nova bloom buffers allowed us to stop using pH down completely at about 900-1000ppm.

What we are doing is replacing the water with new nutrient solution everytime we add 2 gallons of plain tap water back into the waterfarm. And the water and nutrient solution is poured in through one corner of the waterfarm. You don't need to treat the hydroton like soil. We would bump up the ppm of the nutrients about 100-150ppm each week and right now it's at 1300ppm and for now that's what it will be getting for the remainder of the grow. Only about 3 weeks left till harvest.
