I'm Going To Use Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive To Mount The Cob To The Cooler, The Above Lights I Used The Arctic 11 Plus Cpu Coolers And No Not Worth The Extra Price. This Is My Last Hooray I Decided To Use A Gamming Water Cooler Just For A Cool Factor.Any Pc Air Cooler Will Work.

Scotty,
I've been dropping by every 6 months or so, just to see where you had gone... I'm so glad you didn't find your way into custodial care... I've done some modifications to the standard WFs..
Also found my way to the SS 315 watt lec/cmh light... It works so well for me, 1 light, 1 plant, i don't think i'll ever use anything else..
Here's my first 2 WF grows with the 315 watt cmh lights. Plus a 430 watt hps in coco/perlite..

Water farms are nice, just a pain in the ass to do reservoir changes. I fell in love with them after growing in dirt, rainforest buckets and emily's gardens for years. I had some nirvana's ice plants that were doing really shitty in dirt which was pissing me off so I got a wild hair up my ass and went and bought a waterfarm and transplanted the best ice plant from dirt to the waterfarm and she blew up. I got over 6 ounces from a plant that was basically dead. I grew in waterfarms and dwc up till I started using Tupur/coco.
It is always awesome to see waterfarms on point though, good work everyone!

out of 50 elite seedpacks over 10 years. Pineapple express is the clear winner. oily sweet gumybear/pineapple skunk smelling goodness. killer daytime smoke.
i grew the full seedpacks out and pheno hunted every strain, many of the strains had multiple packs. Pineapple express and G13 double black are both awesome.

@SCOTTYBALLS I just read through your entire grow and all I can say is
W O W ... you rock!
My waterfarm is being delivered next week, but I have one little question: Whenever you top off the water, do you top off with just ph’d water each day and then at the end of the week provide a fresh supply of nutrients or is the water you top off with mixed with the nutrients?

The easiest/safest way seems to be to top up with plain ph'd water and then change rez after a week or so.
I do a bit of both. I check the ppm to see what's happening and adjust my top up.
Right now I am gradually toning back the Flora Nova and keeping the Bio Bud ratio somewhat constant.
Anyway works.
Good luck!

Yes always top off with fresh water if your new to waterfarms, more advanced users can dial in the nutrient uptake of the plant via EC/PPM and keep it in a constant even uptake carefully monitoring rise and fall of the nutrient concentration.

I would luv to see how u did that...if its ok with @SCOTTYBALLS , or maybe a diy thread ?!!!
I'm running 3 waterfarms in veg now and plan to flower using them, wf's are awesome

SM, here's a link to a post using 2-5 gal buckets.. One grow bucket, 1 for the reservoir.. Except in this case the drip ring is under lid.. The pvc is higher than the water level in the reservoir and the grow bucket.. that's what makes it work.. last post..

I am having trouble determining how much nutrients to mix per unit. When I flush it and refill it to the white line on the blue tube, it takes 5 gallons of nutrients. The directions and other posters say it takes 2 gallons of nutrients. When I put in 2 1/2 gallons, the drip ring hardly has any output. I am afraid I am over watering by putting in 5 gallons, but it doesn't go to the white mark without that amount. Can you please help me?IMO its the best hydro system out there Ive done custom built High pressure Aeroponics you name it, nothing has out performed it yet. I have had 15 oz yeilds on a regular with one water farm, 400w hps and one plant.
It works by pumping air in a tube witch makes bubbles the bubbles push water up the tube pushing water with it.. the water enters the drip ring spiting water and air.. I think the reason they work so well is 90% of oxygen in water is picked up threw the surface layer of the water.. well all the water that drips over the hydroton is all surface water.. so its really oxygenated... great system I end up with a brick of roots in the top bucket and a brick or roots in the lower bucket when its done..

This is probably just a silly problem, but I just can't get it. Thank you so much.

This is my first waterfarm use and when I asked the hydroponics guy about the roots growing through the holes in the top res, he said to just cut them off. I assumed he knew what he was talking about and started my grow without modifying my system. I had 4 plants ready to go from the warmer and I planted them in the rocks. I should have done my homework. They have been veging for 2 weeks under LED lights. After reading this site, I see I need to drill some more holes in the top res and add an air stone to the bottom res. Do you have any tips on how to take out the rocks without killing my plants. I know that I will not get a successful grow without doing this, so I must go ahead and get the holes drilled and the air stone in.

Great, you finally got around to reading the thread. If you had done it to begin with, you would have known, from the start that there was a mod that should be made.. Also,if you missed it, this thread is about using only one fertilizer the entire grow.. It's up to you to figure out any changes you chose to make as to the feeding of the plant..
If you can't figure out how to pour rocks out of a bucket you're beyond help... If it dies , you learned a lesson... Own your own fuck ups, finish your grow in a journal so we can all follow it there....

Thank you. This is my first hydro grow. Also, I can't figure out where the thread menu is and how to get on the correct thread.
