~BLUE *Dream •WaterFARM•~

Im still learning on how low you actually go with hydro and the waterfarm. Fed mine a 1.8ec, which i thought may have been over kill. Came back today it was a little burnt, but alot more root growth and ppms went down to 760 so 1.5 ec. So bumped up the cal mag and pulled back the base today. See where we are tmr.

Thank you! This is going to be interesting seeing how this plays one plays out. Moving and new job during the Pandemic. I’m not giving up on Blue . I don’t know what her future holds at this point but I will love her till the bitter end.

I had a terrible nightmare about her 2 nights ago.
In the nightmare i had to move her for some reason and when I was taking off the scrog screen the strings became razor blades and cut off all her tops.

Currently the only way the drip ring drips at this point is by topping off the Rez with a half a gallon every 4 hours or so .

PPMs yesterday read 420 and I had put in about 600 so I guess I should feed 800 PPMs. I bumped up to 700 PPMs . she looks great.

I'm doing my first run with a Waterfarm rn and that is my biggest gripe - res isn't large enough so the feedings are basically continual at this stage (I think I'm abt a week and a half behind you). Mine isn't even as thirsty as yours (she's a bit smaller too, smaller tent). I've been keeping an eye on your thread since discovering it so ty; it's been giving me an idea of what to expect.

That sound right! When I used to run hydro I would get a baseline at 600 and push them up to 800 and see.
I would bump to 1200 for first six weeks of flower then back down to 800 if they could take it, most could.

Glad I could help out. Good luck with your plant. What strain are you growing?. I would love to see what you have going .

It’s almost been a month of flower
Now.
I am noticing the tent is more humid these days. It’s been raining more often. My humidity reads 60% in the tent yesterday so I put my little dehumidifier in the tent and added another fan for the top canopy to get more air circulating higher and through the flowers. My last grow with Northern Lights i had some bud rot so I would like to avoid that this time by adding more air flow in the upper canopy area.

here is a picture of the current set up.

And some morning pictures light off . She drank a gallon overnight so I fed her a gallon 720 PPMs and took a couple pictures. Her PPMs still dropped to 420 . will mix up some 800’s PPMs next time.
Have a nice day!

Do you remember Lord Jin and his little cabinet with a 1K and a window AC?
He grew some amazing OG rocks with that setup!
 
I emailed him last year and got a response. I think he is 100% photography at this point.
I should check and see how he is doing.

I just had a phone call for a job position in Newport Beach that sounds absolutely phenomenal . They need someone immediately so if things work out I’m going to have to do something with Blue. I would need to move to California in the next few weeks. Holy shit I’m excited!!!!!!!

I was stationed in Orange County CA on a USMC air Base that is now closed when I was a young man. What a beautiful part of the country. Weather is perfect nearly every day. If you want this, I hope it works out for you. Keep us posted.
