man this is great seeing another waterfarm grow going, i was so blown away by scottyballs grow that i have changed all my plans.one thing i cant figure out is what the heck is RO water.i have city water and that is puzzleing me on what i am going to use already checking on filters.also glad to learn from you about soaking that hydroton that would have fucked me up as well.i can see i will learn off your grow as well thanks.

Yea soak and agitate the shit out of your hydroten the buckets make a nice strainer so use them. But RO water is reverse Osmosis water, make sure u let your water sit so no chlorine is in it.

RO= Reverse Osmosis, it has fewer metals, such as chlorine and floride.. Much better for your plants.. But its also missing Calcium and magnesium which your tap has..
What I do is fill a few 5 gallon pails with tap water, let it sit for 3 days so the chlorine evaporates then I mix it 50/50 with RO water.. This enables me to not add cal/mag and helps stabilizes the ph levels..

Hope that helps, many ppl do it differently.. But if you use tap exclusively..let it stand for a few days prior to use..

thanks for clearing that up guys years ago in soil grows i used all creek water great results never even checked it.i still live by a creek now was gonna do my same method as years ago but as i said scottyballs has changed my vision,and i dont think the creek water would be as good in the waterfarm.i also did investigate those CMH bulbs and they are the ticket good from start to finish with a very full light spectrum. this new plan will definately save some cash setting up as well and less to operate so glad i found you guys my shipment came from attitude yesterday and i am so rdy to get going.

Ya attitude is awesome I order two single fem white widow and they gave be a DNA sour cream Fem. Planted the white widow and so far everything is great I still have to get another bulb for my hps but its doing just find under the flourescent. I could post a pic if jim don't mind and ya to rinse out the hydroton I just but in the 2gallon bucket that I drilled MORE holes in and just rinse till water ran clear. ALMOST didn't lol but ya this water farm looks great and promising can't wait to see how it turn out jim. DEF subscribed.

You can post pics no worries.

Update.

I have been germing my cole train seed since yesterday and I made the right move. The white widow seed is not growing its still white I have never seen a seedling do that. I either stressed it out from moving it out of my res and out of the plug or it was doomed from the begining.

Anyways how can I change the title of this thread from White Widow to Cole Train?

 

[rotunda1887]

Don't know how to or if you can even change a thread name. I was also on board for Master Scotty's thread. I am a noob and I had purchased a GH power grower module that I planned to use for a Mom but have decided to try Scotty's method instead and have started a 3rd grow. I am growing Barney's Vanilla Kush from attitude. I started in a rootplug as well uner florescent and it has its first set of true leaves. I will be moving it to the power grower this weekend. I've done a lot of research and I don't think that the super plug should cause a problem (keeping fingers crossed).

Since I currently have an autoflower grow going under 600watts in a 4ft tent I am going to use my 200watt CFL until that grow finishes in a few weeks. I also have a 2nd grow (3 OG kush, 1 Sour Kush and 1 Bubba Kush) that will go to flowering as soon as the autoflowers come out This new grow is going into a darkroom DR80 tent and I will be using 400 watt HPS and a SCROG with flora nova bloom. I have been using Advanced Nutrients and a number of their add-ons (plants are looking great) but after finding Scotty's thread, I think I will be selling the large tent and 600 watt equip on ebay when the 5 kush plants are finally done. Good luck on your grow Jim!

this is how shes doing right now pretty much EXACTLY 8 days from dropping the seed in the plug. notice the flourescent due to my bulb going on and off on my hps. ONLY TEMPORARY. and sorry to hear that JIM about yours. was excited to have someone growing the same strain with almost the sae method. but atleast you have the cole train germ'd

Awesome reminds me just like where I grow, I am going to use the plugs again I have the cole train germing, how and when do you put the seed in their. I feel like I fucked my white widow up maybe I messed it up by pouring water on it. But your seedling reminds me of what my soil seedlings look like I need that with my cole train seed it is my last female seed for a bit.

I have a Waterfarm myself, and the Ph does tend to be a bit high. I'm pretty sure it's due to the hydroton pellets. It's not as much of an issue now for me, plus my flowering nutrients lower the Ph level, so that should become less of a problem. I started mine in an AG first though.

 

[remi11]

All I did was soak the plug completely put it in the water farm took the seed out the freezer and drop her in. Left the water one the water farm going and the lights on tore a little piece off the corner of the plug to cover the seed and 3 days later she broke the "soil" sooo I don't know everytime I do it this way making sure temps are correct and all it works but EVERYTIME I try the paper towel it doesn't soooo iiii don't know I figure keep things simple. Even though most simplest I think would be like SCOTTYBALLS by just dropping the seed dirrectly in the hydroton. GL Jim ur first one was probably too much stress. I try. Not to mess with the seeding for the first two weeks and make sure everything is correct and ready before I drop it in so I'm not having to do anything in that two weeks except water a few drops when I see the surface of the plug drying up

Lol sorry for the novel. Was a bit lifted lol

I see I will have too do that trick with covering the hole I kept noticing the light was shooting down that hole didnt know if it was supposed to do that. Damn soil was always so easy to germ, or I just suck.

Dont worry about the long post im not afraid to read unlike most of my generation.

 

[jimbizzzale67123]

My tent stays around 80-83 never goes higher. I have my air pump on the outside of my tent so it doesn't pump hot air into my res, do I have to monitor the res's temperature or is 80 a good temp for the tent to be.

 

[remi11]

Ya mine usually stays about 79 consistantly. I never let it get above 85 or below 75 so ya u shoul be just fine

Hows it going for you Jim? Are these Waterfarms easy to operate? After looking through Scottys thread; a Waterfarm seems like the right fit..
