WATERFARM SCROG!!!! ..first frightening waterfarm grow....Dr.Amber Frankenstien

Today is day 24 since I flipped the lights to 11/13. Northern Lights Blue is Northern Lights crossed with Blueberry. I was gifted the clones, and I don't know their origin.

I'm loving these girls...they are tall and lanky, but they are growing fast and furious. It looks like the hair get a little longer every few minutes! I LST'd two of them, but I am sort of regretting that decision. They really don't want to be LST'd and aren't appreciating it very much. Glad I only did 2 of them.

Blue, and OH MY, look at the sugar on the leaves of your NLB! Beautiful picture!

Thanks! I know! I saw that and couldn't believe they were frosting up already. Neither of the other two strains are doing that yet. I wonder if it is because the NLB's were clones and therefore more mature than the "from seed" girls... both of the others, the RCB and the Kaya Gold are producing lovely flowers, but it will be another week or so before they are really photogenic and they have no sugar yet.

I know im getting ahead of myself, but what do you guys do with your fan leaves at harvest? Seems a shame to dispose of all of them. GG

The reason I ask, is that those frosted sugar leaves on the buds of Blues NL's look LOADed with trichomes. Wonder if they were worth drying and smoking. Or maybe just leave them with the buds?

I like the decoration idea. Wax them and hang them on the xmas tree! GG

Hi there from the NW.

They shall become bubble hash, my friend. Some of the smallest will stay with the buds, but anything with trichs on it goes in the bubble bag... now just gotta get bubble bags...

What do you do with your trim if you don't want to use it right then? Can you freeze it? Then how do you thaw it?

Nice set of 1 gallon bags here 4 bag set $33 reasonable price ----> http://www.amazon.com/HealthLine-GALLON-HERBAL-EXTRACTS-BUBBLE/dp/B004TEIWTY

Thank you! I just went there and added them to my wish list...I'll be grabbing some of those.

yeah looked like a very good deal to me. You can bet larger ones, with more sizes, but for our small amounts, these should work just fine. GG

Yeah, I agree. I really didn't want a 5 gallon size cuz it would be like spitting in the ocean

hey whats up. can you post some of your waterfarm girlie porn. havent seen it in a while and would love to have you throw up some in here if you have a spare moment.
i save ALL my leaves. from the begiining to the end. I set them on paper and let them dry out completely until they are dry and crispy. I then place them in a plastic bag and into the freezer.
I collect leaves though out the entire grow..
to make canna butter .. clean up the leaves by removing the dead parts and stems. Grind up in a coffee grinder. I grind up 2 oz. for some really potent cannabutter
I use 1 lbs unsalted high fat content butter to 2 oz trim. I use a crock pot. melt butter . add a couple glasses of water.. add trim.. kepp on low the entire time. you can go from 2 to 12 hours. I just do it over night.
let cool. get some big guaze like material and filter it through into a glass container. Squeese out as much as you can. Put it in the fridge till it separates.

I just ordered my hash bags from
http://hydrowillys.com/sales/bubble-bags/
good price and looks like good material. I am expecting them anyday so i will let you know what i think when i get them.

the girl is looking really great and eating so much.. i have had to add back 2 gallons over the last 4 days. rez change tonite or tomorrow.. with some picture..

Hello Doctor! I have been hesitant to post pics lately ..... I finally got around to reading the rules of the Grow Journals ..... It said not to post unless asked! My bad! This is YOUR journal not mine. But since you asked ..... Smile.

Here is by just born. 51 days ago. Northern Light




Here she is today, 15 days into flower. No real good flowers showing. Lot of stamens, no pistils yet, that I can see. No where near as well developed as BlueJeans, but she is 10 days ahead of me.




As you might remember, I have to leave my plants for a week, UNATTENDED ..... What I ended up doing is attaching a 5 gallon bucket to my reservoir. This will more than double the capacity of the entire farm. Actually, I moved the plant to a 5 gallon bucket. I am in day 5 of a test run of the system to be sure it will have enough nutrients to keep her fine when I am gone. Looks like the system will work fine.





The issues to be faced with leaving her for a week are that I will have to have the lights raised up to allow for growth. And the other thing that is happening is that PPM;s are increasing. They have risen about from 1000 to 1260 in 6 days. I dont know enough to know if that is a problem or not. She looks happy.


I am happy with how she looks now. Ive added the cal-mg +. That seemed to have eliminated the leaf spots.

So, now really looking forward to flowers.

Hey mate if your ppm's are going up your overfeeding. She is drinking more water to make up for it. Its not a big problem now that small increase wont hurt her but if your gone for a few days and it creeps up each day then u may have a problem I would say drop your ppm to about 900 that should fix it if it still climbs drop to 800. U ideally u want them to stay the same.

Hello sorry I forgot who i was responding to .....

This was a test run to see if I can get through a week without adding water. Which it appears that I can with the supplemental reservoir. And not that I know that the PPM will rise, I will probably start our the REAL week away with slightly less. One thing to consider is that my blend that I used was half strength GH transition already.

This is a first time hydro grow for me, so I really dont know anything for sure. Im getting lots of help from the great people here!

The plant is not showing any signs of over nuteing. I have two days to go on the test run. Fingers crossed.

But, I tend to agree (right now) that I should start next week with slightly lower PPM to counteract the rise. GG

Your pretty much spot on with your feeding. That tiny increase is nothing especially if it was over a few days you not at dangerous levels or anything. Doing very well. Sounds like u have it sorted. How long you going away for?

Going away next Weds for one week.

Glad to see our work-around is doing the trick! forgetiwashere is exactly right about the ppms. If they go up, she's drinking more water than nutes. But it's not a drastic change and she might make up the difference on another day. You don't always eat the same amount every day and neither to they.

Remember, the best test of your plan is if you don't touch her (other than to raise the lights as necessary) for one solid week...cuz that will be the conditions once you are gone. I think you'll be fine and so will she -- this might actually be harder on you! I know it would be for me... LOL

very nice looking lady and impressive time management skills taking care of her while gone like that Gg. ur welcome to post anytime my friend.

i would love for this waterfarm journal to be open to anyone who does waterfarm who would like to post their waterfarm pictures and talk about it anytime.

i did a lot in my waterfarm tent.
rez change. ppms out 860 ....in 960... ph out 5.5 ....in 6.0. .... looking real good i think. been drinkin like one thirsty biotich..
i topped her 2 main branches...hahahahha.. that was fun .. i looked at the size of my space and the size of my screen and said.. yeah what the fuck..haha
i lsted her 2 big lower main branches with paper clips. and check out the size of her truck...holy shit.. there is like NO gap between the branches..

transplaned the 3 rockwool girls.. im pretty sure are girls. transplanted into coco airpots because they were just lookin bad in the rockwool and because im pretty dam sure that my waterfarm is a GIRL!!! so no need to tranplant one of the rockwools into the waterfarm unit..

next time as a back up im going to just grow them out in coco and gently wash off the coco and put her in the farm if i need too. It seemed to work nicely for Robbie. at the simpsons house.lol

the first pix are of the root system of the mail rockwools.male.that is.....
then some beautiful deep blue fat leaves.
then a picture of my scrog frame in front of my tent.. how tall should i veg her out????
pictures of the transplant






this is crazy thick branching







here is the waterfarm deep blue bride is she a female?





topped tops




after topping the two main branches (to be colas) .. i wonder what is going to happen next.

stay tuned for more of dr. Frankenstiens first frightening waterfarm.
