Barney's Farm - Tangerine Dream - Waterfarm!

:weed: Lotsa pics this eve - this 'ol girl is lookin great - still a few weeks to go by the looks of things - if there's still more bulking up coming, things are going to start getting crazy!

Got some more 'unique' shots of the buds - different lighting angles and such. Lights-on during this photo-shoot though, sorry 'bout the orange! Enjoy!!! :leaf:

Wow, thanks for the props!! :leaf: Here's my girl's favorite tune lately... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHQh9VRj77M&feature=related
 
Oh she's beautiful.
And what a gnarly tree trunk. I'm jealous.
I like when a plant goes from little green shoots, to barkey gnar gnar.
I'm honestly sad that she'll be gone in a couple weeks, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
You know how we feel about that plant, give her what she wants!

Great shot!!
 
Only a suggestion, but I usually take off the drip ring and soak it in vinegar. After a little while I then gently scrub off the salty mineral deposits making sure each little hole is clear. Then re-install. Also, I sometimes get pump slow down from mineral build up in the air tube right where it inserts into the brown part at the very bottom of the pump. When I get that, I usually have to take the pump apart and clean it with a vinegar soak at that trouble spot.

My compliments on an outstanding grow. Can almost smell it through my monitor.
 
This is one helluva grow Dayzt. You really ought to try and make some badass pipe with multiple carbs or something from that trunk when you're all done.

Happy growing.

Thanks C - yeah she's looking good. As things come to a close in the next few weeks, it will be strange not checking on her every day like I have these past 4+ months! I've decided to wait until we get back from holidays later this summer before starting the next grow - at least I think so at this point. Any guesses on yield here? It will be interesting to see if there's any more bulking up yet to come in the next few weeks... :leaf:

Thank-you Tony - yeah I've been taking the drip ring off about once every 2 weeks or so and just wiping off good with a damp rag, then I blow through one end while plugging the other end so the holes are all good and clear. Thanks for the tip regarding the air-hose - I'll have to check that. I haven't noticed too much of a difference in air-pressure though, aside from it being less due to the roots in the rez...

Awesome grow man, that plant is HUGE :blsmoke:

Thanks Jer La Mota - yeah, she's a big bitch - should be a helluva harvest - any guesses on yield?

Good idea myxedup - I've tried making small 1-hitter pipes from my plant stems before without much luck... but I do have a nice bottom stem still in the cupboard from one of my Red Dragon plants... although this one will make that one look tiny...lol.
 
Looking good still Dayzt!

I'm loving the trunk, it's almost the best part of the plant ^^
You should use it for a pipe for sure mate.

This could go 2 pounds ;)
 
nice growing mate and great pics!! ive got a quick question for you mate, I've just finished setting up 5 waterfarms and am finding the noise from the drip ring unbearable!! is there anything I can do the make it quieter? I've had to turn them off for the night while I look around for suggestions, was not expecting it. :-(

Yeah that trunk is looking like a big gnarly knuckle! I'm not sure there's 32 zips there...we'll see!

C.Indica said:
1.5lbs Total.
But I have never eyeballed a yield before, so that's more of a guess.

That sounds a bit more realistic to me - she'll get about 2 more weeks after this weekend, and then the chopping will begin starting from the inside out and down... :leaf:

The only thing I can suggest is to just make sure you have enough hydroton in them so the drip-ring is snug up against the top level of the hydroton. The water will flow nicer through with them touching them and there will also be slightly less 'splashing' and bubbly splurting sounds...
 
Hey Dayzt, I was working on my garden this morning and sure enough I noticed one of my pumps starting to drip weak. So I discovered that instead of taking it apart to clean the blockage from mineral flakes, I took a piece of weed whacker line and snaked it down the air tube. Worked just the same way a surgeon would snake your heart. So now the next thing on my list is how to drain out old nute without moving the bucket? Have you figured this out? I had one idea that worked by using a self-priming drill pump and that worked OK but those pumps do not last very long. Now I have a Vanilla Kush clone that looks ideal for the SCROG....

Peace, Tony

Hey Tony - that's probably the 'most asked' question that I get... in fact, it's been asked a few times in this journal although they may be tricky to find now that it's at 40 pages..lol. I know you're using the larger waterfarm model, but I believe they use the same 'water-level tube' idea where there's a tube on the outside of the unit, attaching near the bottom with a rotatable rubber seal... anyways, I just rotate the seal a bit and bend the tube down enough to let gravity take over and drain out the water from the bucket into a low-profile plastic tub (I use the large zip-lock containers). It takes 4-5 tubs to empty the waterfarm, and then I'm able to even slightly 'tilt' the whole rez a bit to let the extra water in the bottom drain out as well... I don't think it ever 'completely' empties it out, but I'm sure I'm getting about 98% of it out each time... does that make sense? I'm thinking of possibly making a small video of the process to make it more clear, since I get asked that question all the time. :leaf:

Great idea with the weed-trimmer line - I've got some in the garage and may need to keep that in mind if I run into issues with the air-lines clogging. I think mine may be a bit crapped-up inside like that, but I don't think I'll bother with messing with it too much at this point - only a few weeks to go!
 
Question Dayzt.... How does the feeding work out? I understand that it drip feeds...... is that only for a certain amount of hours and the bucket bubbles the whole time to prevent stagnant water? Or does it drip feed 24hrs? This is the one factor of waterfarm that confuses me.... especially since a bunch of people are starting to do the waterfarm grows and modifying to their own indiviual needs. Appreciate it homie.

This is a good thread to read about waterfarms. I run my drip ring 24/7. I've read people run theirs all sorts of ways from 5 minutes on and 5 off to an hour on an hour off. I think it's mostly personal preference.
