Xcrispi's latest hydro pics.

So its 2 buckets stacked, using hydroton or something to have the roots anchored I imagine? The top bucket is a mesh/has drainage holes in it and its a constant drip ring system, with an airstone in the reservoir - so excess "drippings" go back into the reservoir? Do the roots actually ever extend down into the reservoir itself?

When feeding, do you feed it a fresh reservoir of food once a week, then top it off daily/as needed with ph'ed water to maintain a level? Or do you top it off with nutrient solution, changing the nutrient strength as the weeks go by?

Sorry if this is the wrong place for these questions, just been toying with the idea of trying hydro, and this seems like a great system to work with

This is the longest i've let em go yet . I'm an impatient person by nature , but Sky warned me it's close to a 10 week strain . There were like 10 hermie flowers on b/b and mongrel both . So theres prob. like 80-100 fem. f2's of each ??? cough cough cough . You still got a cpl. of the mix you were talking about . lol .

No prob. tokudai ,
top basket holds about 2 gal. hydroton . bucket inside a bucket theory . I've set mine up to recirculate , but yes drippings go bk into the bottom half of res. i top off w/ only p/h'd water no nutes . <- who knows what plants already used up ? - you don't know exactly what to add bk. to res. so i chg. res once every week to 10 days . heres a cpl. pix. for the rest go/to bluebears waterfarm / DWC club thread theres tons of info there .
Peace man
your cuz
crispi :S5:

Kottonmouthchris - No can do man , can only talk in foroum now .
Peace

X-C I forgot to drill holes in my set-up before this grow and am seeing the same problems I did before with the roots clogging things up. I had the brilliant idea that when I removed the males i drilled holes in those 3 waterfarms and (must have been completely stoned at the time) and was thinking of switching them....like transplanting!! Needless to say that idea didn't go far, lol. I was going to ask you to repost the pic of those waterfarm holes.....thanks. I have my drill ready BEFORE the next grow. :)

Thanks for the heads up xcrispi - I'm gonna go down to the hardware store tomorrow and see what I can whip up

tokudai- like crispi said, bluebear's dwc/farm club thread has a lot of good info and if you want to see some pics of a recirculating farm setup you can look in my sig.

I've looked at alot of pics, and I don't think I've ever seen better than those as far as THC coverage. That is just loaded with the sticky goo all over it top to bottom. More than just a Nice Job that is showing some serious skillz, it looks like pure ass 100% 1 hiter herb. The 2nd pic really shows it all.

what if i need to ask you some questions that i cant ask in here

Then you don't need to be asking them . lol .
You should know better man . Don't overstep your bounds . I don't wanna havta be a dick -n- flame on anybody or leave Neg. Rep. for asking stupid shit . That isn't who i am !
Peace man
crispi :)

After only 1 run w/ the waterfarms i can safely say that NO i wouldn't have bought the whole system from them again . I'd just buy the driprings / coloum kits for 10.00 apiece -n- build my own . Budluv , Weedhound , Bluebear and myself have been finding the faults w/ the sys . itself and us folks who own actually run them are correcting them .

I only run 4 buckets , not all 8 . so the big ass pump G/H gives you is only run w/ the valves a 1/4 of the way open . lotsa omph left in em . we added an extra airline dwn the PVC drip coloum and added a T up top . now we have 6in. airstones in the bottom of the res. to reap the benefits of DWC .
Also were now using a 3 gal. round bucket inside a 5 gal. bucket so plants can be spun w/o being picked up , and gained an extra gallon of hydroton up top .

Here's pics. of what were gonna try next time around .
Peace all
The Crispis' :S5:
