Scotty, do you have even drip coming from all the drip ring holes? Right now, I have 4 holes with solid drip and the 2 holes farthest away from the pumping column are barely dripping. I have adjusted a readjusted the pumping column and support tube multiple times. Ran the drip ring under hot...
I've decided to just fork out the money for this. Digital 250w MH/HPS with both bulbs and a simple reflector.

What about this one? It's really cheap, but maybe too cheap. I was going to go with the hydrofarm sunburst and then attach the cooling fan to the top. Will be running a 4" 171cfm fan attached to a 4" carbon filter for exhaust. I also considered ordering a digital greenhouse package, but decided...
Right on. I decided to go with the same air pump you are using just in case I decide I want to add more waterfarms down the road. Still contemplating forking another $230 for a Hydrofarm Sunburst 250w MH/HPS. And I'll just hold onto the 150w HPS or sell it to a friend.
I'll take your advice and try it out. I somehow completely forgot that certain nutrients drop the pH of your water substantially. Sounds like Flora Nova Bloom will do exactly this, but won't know for sure until I test it out. I have a Homebox XS tent, so it has some reflective material on the...
@ SCOTTY
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to answer my questions. I have the Hanna 98129 all-in-one combo meter, so thankfully I won't have to buy a new meter because they are expensive. For my first 2 grows (soil), I used 218 PPM tap water with the pH somewhere between 8.0-8.5, but...
Scotty, I've decided that I'm going to purchase a waterfarm system and run it in my small tent. I have a question about the tucking and weaving. You just bend the plant under the SCROG screen so everything grows horizontal right? You don't go up through the screen and then down another hole and...
Wow, it sounds really easy to get the germinated seed going.
Oh so with the drain tube, I won't have to take the bucket out of my tent which simplifies the process. I just need to make a SCROG screen, which should be placed a little lower than 1 foot since I'll only be using a 150w. Where did...
+Rep for actually taking the time to answer my questions thoroughly. Really appreciate it.
"then I dig some hydro ton out the center of the water farm so water dripping from the ring flows to the center" So you basically just make a little crevice in the middle of the waterfarm and then place...
I just read through the thread. Very informative. Do you put your germinated seeds straight into the hydroton, or do you use rockwool?
I might decide to get me one or two of these waterfarms to use in my 2'x2'x4' tent with a 150w HPS and 125w Daylight CFL. How often do you change the water?
Top above the 2nd true node when your plant reaches 5-6 nodes for the best results. Taken straight from UB's thread. As for transplant, I would say another 2 weeks.
Majek, I'm happy that this grow ended up being the best you've had from a single plant. You've made me a believer with your LST method. Those buds look delicious.
I hate it when you end up flushing too early resulting in an earlier chop than you would like. I'm going to try a new flushing...
