hey bluebear -n- weedhound ,
good call for a thread of this type . esp. after all my questions to you guys and all the other w/f questions that all poped up at once here latley .

i'm using a w/f 8 pack w/ a homemade controller to recirculate the nutes so the ppm / ph stays consistant in all the farms . i'm using gen. hydro 3 part nutes 321 / 123 recipe w/ a tsp. of cal-mag added per gallon of nutes , i also just went out n got a 1 1/2 lb. container of koolbloom too for the last 4 weeks of flowering .

i'm using hydroton as my grow medium , and transplanted my babies into the system once 2in. rockwool cubes had lotsa roots poping out of em . i'm doing 4 d/p fem. blueberry , -n- 4 can. seeds fem. outdoor mix= cottoncandy/nycd x sage .

i now run the g/h supplied pump for driprings for 15min. on , 15min. off while lights are on . while lights off i run for 15min. on , 45 min. off .

2-1000w. hps. in cooltubes w/ 2 hurricane fans 1 pushing 1 pulling thru tubes . 4 farms under each light . i'm just started week 2 of flowering , all 8 have been topped n have just blown up huge w/ new growth n soon to be budsites everywhere . the indoor mix seems much more forgiving w/ nutes -n- light than the blueberry

this is my first grow w/ the farms . in past i made 5 gal. bubble bukts w/ a dripper in each run off a lil via aqua pumps in ea. bucket . quickly became a pita filling buckets everyday once flowering and they were using 1 gal. to 1 1/2 gallons a day -n- no res. and roots eventually plugging up the pumps . i had 6 buckets , worst buckets yield was 5-6 oz. -n- best was 15 oz. this took about 6 mos. start to finish . i bought thew/f system to try to eliminate these problems .

thanx for all help -n- input guy -n- gals .

Water Farm/DWC club OK, since I noticed so many people using the Farms I decided to put out some questions about the buckets that can be kind of like a Farm/DWC thread. Some things info to give, how many buckets do you use, what kind of lights, what kind of yields have you had and what kind of strains you have had the best exp with. Also, this would be a good thread for general questions and suggestions perhaps. With this, new hydro converts and curious folks could just stop in and ask or add their two cents. Rating: 5
