Hi moVery cool! Thanks Mr
They are some beautiful heads man, very enviousAlmost done, Density is solid, crystals are 90% milky white. Im going to give it till sunday and she is getting the chop.
56 ppm
ph 5.5

I notice you use Flora Nova Bloom (start to finish) what do you start your seedlings of with the first week meaning Flora Nova how many ml, how many ml the second week. thanks a bunch.Ok lets see if these things are all they are cracked up to be.. Germination started this mourning.. I will be using this tried and trued set up
Feminized Pineapple Express
Cabinet 29"X19"X50"
1 water farm
Flora Nova bloom (start to finish)
400W Ceramic Metal Hylide or CMH (new for me)
I avg about 10-15 oz depending on strain with a HPS lets see what we can get out of PE with a CMH and a waterfarm..
First Picture is G13's packaging. The Second is my last harvest of Nirvana Blue Mystic Cant start a thread with no bud pictures now can we?
I appreciate the speedy reply thanks a bunch.Seedlings need no nutes and a soiless mix...feed after the plant is about 4" tall...and than about 5ml in a 5 gallon bucket filled with 4 gallons of water
the drain hose should be marked when the nutrient level is below the mark I fill with water back to the mark ,let circulate a few hours & then check my ppm.I have read this forum about 20 times and I can't figure out how do you determine how much water your plant is drinking? Can someone help me on this?
That is not what Scotty did nor did I and it works great. Start Ferts. 7 days after germination ie they have popped out of there shell. You know little seedling with first real leaves. better yet read the thread again.Seedlings need no nutes and a soiless mix...feed after the plant is about 4" tall...and than about 5ml in a 5 gallon bucket filled with 4 gallons of water
Dude. Don't listen to this guy! He is wrong. He is throwing you numbers that you don't need. Check out My grow that I started 3 weeks ago. Doing the same as Scottyballs from now on.I appreciate the speedy reply thanks a bunch.
I should read the thread over again,10oz in a cabinet,1 plant.That is not what Scotty did nor did I and it works great. Start Ferts. 7 days after germination ie they have popped out of there shell. You know little seedling with first real leaves. better yet read the thread again.
Hint: It's in the second entry.
My pH in the waterfarm is doing the same thing (doesn't get up to 7, but it gets from 5.5 to 6.5 pretty quickly.). I was told that it could be because I have very very little nutrients in the water because the plant is very young and that RO water with very light nutrients tends to be unstable in terms of pH. I do remember someone saying that air stones meant for aquariums can raise your pH but I don't know if that's true or just bro science. Plus i don't have airstones in mine ( just an extra 2 valve pump with the lines run to the bottom of the bucket. Doesn't oxygenate as much as a stone but it helps).Just a quick question about PH.
Our PH keeps running higher when it's in the farm. Has anyone experienced this?
GH Floranova 200 ppm
Tiny baby seedling just sprouted.
Ph Starts around 5.5 and goes to 7 when in the farm.
We do have an airstone in the bottom just because the pump has 2 air valves and if you plug one then the pump hums. Wondering if this could be the problem.

Sorry your guys are having this issue. I too had it ajd still have it every time i run my system with new hydrotons (that i havent washed and soaked with pH balansed water!)Just a quick question about PH.

Thanks for the feedback! I have actually been having a little problem with a little bit of residual clay in the res. I did actually rinse the hydroton, but apparently not well enough. Like I said it's only a little residue. What I did not do was soak them. Just rinsed with pH 5.5 RO until I thought it was good. Next time I'll know to rinse more thoroughly. And soak it for good measure.Sorry your guys are having this issue.

If you havent washed and balanced the pH of your hydrotons, thisbwill happen and will keep happening until the hydrotons finally balance and buffer at the desiered lower pH!
Either get a bucket of cleaned and washed and pH balanced hydrotons and try to replace most of the hydrotons in the system without damaging the little girls roots, or just keep adding pH up every day until it slowly buffers (may take a week to 2) .... good luck to both of you and I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Btw ive been using this system for some time and i finally came to the conclusion that it grows much bigger plants than my tent can handle. No more 4 plants in water farms in a 4x4 unless i plan on no/minimal vegging
