200 watts & a waterfarm

horribleherk · Sep 4, 2019

after seeing Dr. amber trichromes water farm journal I decided to bring one of my water farms out of the corner of my shop , stop thinking & start doing The light , California light works SS-275(200w.) & designed as a 400w. HP's replacement The tent is 3x3 The scrog is 2x2 the nutrients are megacrop & cal - mag , tap water as my water comes from snow runoff & ppm.averages 55-70 pH when using megacrop comes out at 5.9 & I'm gonna run it & fine tune later if I feel the need gonna pick up a TDs meter I've got loaned out next week any input comments or questions welcomed

I live in the sierra gold country our water originates in the high country & there is a small reservoir our drinking water comes from our town has 2000 people the water is chlorinated but evaporates pretty quick when I lived in Stockton the water was a mess chloramine that refuses to evaporate & a osmosis setup was a must by the time I moved things are much easier I'm gonna pick up my tds\ec meter tomorrow I've got it loaned out

Sounds awesome! When I lived in Washington State my tap was from snow melt and was zero PPMs. Do you ph your rockwool?

I pH rockwool before I use it & with the exception of cloning I'm trying to get away from it especially since I've been doing the single plant grows I use the 1-1\2 in to clone in just a habit from when I ran more than one strain or pheno I could write on the plastic & they stand upright on their own

This is the time of year I do most of my outdoor stuff summer heat isn't my favorite we retired out & moved to the hills low enough snow is not an issue but high enough to use home as a departure point to the many lakes & parks the area has to offer & a little over 40 miles to a large town & heavy population lol

I'm sorry to hear about their loss and it's good they're rebuilding. Will they get any money from the settlement with PG&E?

Yes pg&e is tying things up a bit but ultimately responsible the fire claimed 85 lives I live in the same kind of town & have had to evacuate but we had warning after seeing their fire aftermath & listening to how they barely made it I'm taking time to re assessment of my situation , how are things going for you ttystikk? good to hear from you!
