New Grow- Hydro + Blue Glue
- Thread starter Jason
- Start date
First roots reached the nutes yesterday. One week after set up. I used fewer clay balls, reducing the top level down 2-3 inches. The other Farm I set up as usual, filled to the top with clay balls.
The lower level resulted in the roots reaching the nutes faster. So that seems to be a plus.
The girl with her feet wet has grown 4" since last Monday.
I now discover Blue Glue is Gorilla Glue + Blueberry. Seeds from Netherlands, clone not.
Also discovered the wisdom of thoroughly cleaning the drip bar on the WaterFarm. Remove, scrub out wtih a dowel rod and re drill the holes. Works like a dang water fountain now.

Your right ,if you got good genes , it is all up to you to do your part then.
Week II nutes. 100% GH Flora Trio plus CalMg+. (2) 300 W LEDs. So far, so good. Keeping pH in the 5-5.5 range for the most part. Now that they are getting established, I'll probably let that range a bit
higher to 6.0. FIM is in the future.
Both plants have roots in the solution.

Looks like she's doing great, Jason, keep us informed, your doing a fine job.
Things seems to going well. I set up the WaterFarms 10/23 with clones and pH adjusted water. Started feeding Week I 10/27. Tall clone was 7" tall.
10/29 that clone had roots in the res and was 9" tall. 11/4 second clone has roots in the res.
Just started Week III feeding yesterday, 11/9, GH Flora Trio, 100% strength. Tall clone is now 14". The other clone is growing wide and rather flat, looking like its been topped with lots of flower sites.
I think I'll leave that one alone and FIM the tall one when the time is right.
pH went way up over night, so that has to be adjusted back down. Good H20 consumption with both girls.

Thats 8 days from clone?!?
A week and a day after I set the clone up in the WaterFarm. I get clones in rock wool or those little rooter things. White roots are coming out the bottom.
I don't know the time from cutting to me getting it. I could guess 10-14 days? Really don't know. One reason I like the clones is they just blast off with growth, particularly when the roots hit the res.

Been looking into DWC a lot more, it just fascinates me. Definitely thinking of trying it soon.
I use two little WaterFarms @ $70 each for the complete kit. Just add nutes and greenery and away you go.
One amazing aspect of hydro is how quickly the girls grow and change with nute changes. And if any problem arises, you change the nutes. Bad stuff gone, new good stuff added. Adding water and balancing pH is about all there is to it. And supporting the resulting growth.
With the clones I get, roots reach the res in a week to ten days. Then they blast off.
Think science project. If you like them, you'll love hydro.

The brown-ish spots on some of the leaves have disappeared. I cut the offending parts off, and the effect did not return. Very odd. No lower leaves, no top leaves. Just the large, middle fan leaves.
Came home to a potential disaster yesterday. The circular drippy arm of one WaterFarm detached on one end. The result was the all the nutes got pumped out of the res. I added two gallons of pH adjusted H20 and she seems fine. I'll redo the nutes soon to replace what was lost. Whew! was I worried when I added a gallon of water and no leak from my indicator hole. Then a second gallon. Egad!
No apparent effects so far.

Keep us posted!
Will do. These girls are growing like Triffids. Early Week IV feeding!!!! Its like I'm growing a privacy hedge or something. Surprising number of flower sites on the top level with direct light. They look like they've been topped or FIM'd already. Surprising equal growth among the sites.
I was planning on FIM for the larger girl. . So I might do one and leave the other alone for an experiment of sorts. I'll post another Tuesday Update on Tuesday. I just do Tuesday because that was the day I posted a first shot. So I post weekly updates.

Week IV pics. Week IV is billed as Transition with light going to 12/12 schedule. Next week is first week of Flower.
No apparent negative effects from nutrient loss in one Farm. Nute change Thurs or Fri to Week V.
Both girls seem to be doing very well.
No topping or FIM yet. Thinking about leaving one alone and FIM one. Both have a lot of bud sites in the top layer, getting direct light.
