Kandy Kush Waterfarm 400watt Hps

Great job, how long you going to flush for?

Yeah, that looks fuckin' gnarly.

A*m*a*z*i*n*g!!!!!!

dr Amber- thank you! I feel honoured having seen your grow!

rick- I will be flushing her 3-4 days depending on whether I harvest fri or sat. I like to do a 3 day flush generally. its enough and the plant seems happy with 3 days.

lordjin and gangasism, thank you! I am pleased with her. there will be final pics later today. thanks for sticking with it to the end guys- its been a proper adventure!

badger took some great pics of her today. bit concerned about whether now is the time to put her in the dark? any input welcome!

What an impressive scrog. Your so close.....I was able to view a few ambers in several shots, so the call is really up to you. I have read about a dark phase prior to harvest, but have not actually done so. Because of this I ask, do you see/realize any change due to dark period before harvest?
I was also surprised at your 3+ day flush, could be because your nutes clear faster than mine (not Flora Nova). My preference in ready to dry/cure harvest is 7 to 10 days flush. But this was not in a Water Farm, so methodology may be different & I will learn something here.
My own grow continues (3rd week of flower), with estimated growth above the screen now at 10" to 12". Seems like it is growing more in the 3rd week of 12/12 than the 1st 2 weeks.
Am in the process of building (late) my top screen to organize the chaos.
I can only hope I do as well as you have.
Well done.

WOW HOLY CRAP BATMAN

well done mate great gardening skills there The doc said 2 pop over to check out ur 55 cola plant but i wasnt expecting that

looking like she's very close to harvest

@dishinit yeah its shorter in hydro, if I were to do a 10 day flush my poor plant couldnt handle it, the soil and leaf matter provide enough for a plant whereas pure RO water has nothing at all to give to a plant (sort of the point for the nute mix but damaging if on its own for too long) . On the dark thing- theres a number of theories as to why its good, one is that once in the dark phase and not chopped the plant will start to break down chlorophyll which gives the plant a harsh flavour- also why its good to slow dry and cure. The reason I do it mostly though is because if I had just spent 8 weeks doing what Kandy has been doing, I would want a chillout too! I'd like to see pics of your grow and screen etc and cabinet (or is it tent?) , I have some pretty high expectations for what you are going to produce man! what strain are you growing? and light? and nutes? I am most curious!

@ las fingerez CHEERS! Im pretty overwhelmed by her myself to be honest! I have to say its the pheno and the waterfarm with a small amount of guidance and TLC from me. I got to get my hands on some more seeds of this, its a bangin plant in soil or hydro. cant go wrong with stable genetics like that! I see you have journals in your sig, I will pop by and have a look see!

SO I am going to go with harvest on Friday. while i reckon i could push it further the poor girl cant stand up and I have super important stuff to do next week (bloody bad timing and its bad timing) so its got to be this week. Lights off tonight 400w is being swapped to my veg room, and on harvest day If I have time I will start setting up the cupboard for my next grow and keep a lookout for my next journal its going to be a well exciting journey with 3 strains I have never grown before 2 of which I have never smoked so heres hoping they are true connoisseur strains and also heres hoping I can live up to the promises the plants make.

I've got my Tangerine Dream in one water farm, filling 80%+ of the 4' x 4' screen. Then a late placed C99, also moved to a waterfarm from Hempy on the edge of one side, that I have cuttings from to try again as she looks promising as a producer, but is overshadowed by the TD. I would probably grow two of these in water farms to fill the same 4' x 4' area.
Also on the edge, but mostly squeezed out is a Lavender, and a wonderful Indica of unknown genetics in 3 gal Hempy pots/bags. Still they will produce enough for me to guage whether I will grow again. Both the C99 and the Indica would require multiple plants in water farms to fill the same area screen as well as LST before the applying the screen. The Lavender was a necessary move to free my Veg space for a TGA/SubCool strain, Jilly Bean, that is reported to do well under scrog.
My focus has been on my TD, the others were started at approx. the same time, so all are in their 3rd week of flower. I am sometimes amazed the others are still alive and going strong, they are actually growing around the outside edge of the screen as much as through it.
I use filtered tap water with believe it or not, a ppm of 350 after filtering. I add 4ml of h2o2 plus 3 ml of cal mag/per gallon (this being to keep the TD green). I use Supernatural (dry) Nutes, Aqua Grow, Aqua Flower and Superlicious as a sweetener after week 3 on everything. I am also using a "Vermi T Solution" compost tea as a Foliar spray. This may be responsible for exploding growth in the late 2nd to mid 3rd week. Every plant I sprayed with this has shown positive growth, both indoor & outdoor, ornamental or edible, veg or flower.
I am currently in a 4' x 4' tent with 600 watts HPS....this will change to a 6' x 6' in the near future with light rail and augmented lighting for full footprint coverage.
My move to a larger tent is to provide more room for 3 TD's phenos similar to what I have now, or 4 to 6 other plants at a time regardless of scrog or no scrog, water farm/hempy or dirt.
What I have learned from my abilities, is less is more. Fewer plants, better individual attention (with the exception of this grow) produce better yields and less problems.
Here is my grow a few days ago including a root shot of the TD.....nice piece of lumber if I do say so myself.
The metal cage you see in the root shot is a modified Tomato cage initially used for training & to support my original self standing wire screen.
My Water farms are home made 5 gal buckets with 10" Net pot caps using the GH drip ring kit. Each bucket also has a 6" air stone in the bucket itself. I aerate/feed with a throttled back GH Dual Diaphragm air pump to both units.

Forgot to say thank you for all your shared info and advice....I'll have to look into the dark period further as I am a flavor fanatic. And for sure I will be looking forward to your next grow. You have a lot to share & teach and are an inspiration as a grower.

Just read through the entire thread. Whew, what a grow, ottermunky! I'm about a month into my first grow. Nothing special, just a couple autos in soil, but the plants are happy and healthy. My next grow, however, will be definitely be a waterfarm/scrog grow. Much thanks to growers like yourself and SCOTTYBALLS that take the time to answer questions about these stunning grows.
