Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[repvip]

he just copied from my pics I think. I did the same thing when I made mine. Im going to reconect that neutral and add another powerstrip. good lookin out. I shouldnt smoke so much before I work on somethings, specialy sativa types

wait a sec... I did the same thing... are you saying we can use a double pole contactor with two hot wires (instead of hot and neutral) and effectively power two outlets from one contactor? If so... nice! I think 8 might be too much for one hehe

Just a quick question about my light set up guys.

I was wondering if it is more efficient use of light to keep one of my 1000w lights hanging in between two of my flower units (as per SB design) and keep one flower unit a few feet away from the other 2 and have the other 1000w light hang directly over it. This way every 3 weeks when I rotate the flower units there is a new direct source of light, and after the 9 week cycle the ladies have been bathed in light from every angle.

Is it worth going through the effort to do this, or is it simply better to just line up all 3 flower units in a line and hang the 2 lights in between them?

Stink..

Any idea if I can flush for 5 days, harvest half (leaving enough leaves to live), then add nutes for a week, then another 5 day flush before the rest are harvested?

I would cut the done ones now, but I really want to do a flush so they taste

How do you do it?

Some of my vegging plants leaves are pale green this normal for this system? and leaves are startin to have a lil bita burns on them? is this because im not using a high enough ppm? im usin 2000ppm ph5.8, mite be my ph down? im not sure.

I had some nute burn at around 1,900 ppm's with my SSH, pulled her back down to about 1,500 and she is happier. If ur at 2,000+ then I would say back off a bit.

the strain i have right now (wappa from sensible seeds) im in week 2 of flowering and its taking 3500ppm of stinks formula with no burn yet, but they grow about 1 to 2 inches a day and i have been having to tie them down every day or two because theyre just growing so fast.

Hey Stink, I know you posted this before somewhere but what brand of lights do you prefer? I am looking at 2 600's and I believe you said you like the Sun Systems brand but cannot recall for sure.
Thanks!

Yea the Sun System lights are nice. Decent price for what you get also.

600s are a great choice. 4-600s is probably the best for 3 flower units.

I'm actually thinking of a light mover or adding another couple of lights. The plants against the walls just don't get enough light.

Your idea might work better...

im thinking about dual 600 hps from a single digital unit running on 240v..........can anyone send me links with the best prices or even better ones they have purchased thenselves?..
thinking about 2 4foot by 4 foot tents or a single 4 foot by 8 foot tent
or 2 3 foot by 3 foot tents with a dual 400 hps........maybe one that switches from mh to hps automatically ?......240v one unit also

I just did something like that. I flushed the plants with Clearex for 5 days then harvest the Indicas. I left enough leaf on them to stay alive.

I let my Sativas continue to flush for another 7 days. I just pulled them yesterday.

It worked great! I have narrowed my quiver down to 4 strains that all finish the same time. That's the only way to go.

These posts are a perfect example of what is referred to as "dialing in your strain".

Some plants can take an incredible amount of nutrients and still never burn. I don't even know the limit of my Snowbud. I've had it over 3000 and it looked like it could take even more!

Some strains like my Blueberry shows tip burn at 1900 PPM. Go figure!

stink i tried my cloner with some flowers and stuff they started lookin good but then after 3-4 days didnt pop no roots i know thats not long enough

im in canada i think i need to keep my rez warmer..

iv read you dont need to control humidity and stuff they should pop on there own?

i got pics of system
was using vinager to drop PH down...
havnt got any nutes yet..

To Stink and all Stink Buddies:

I have just become another number in the unemployment statistics and due to the recession will probably have to uproot my family to somewhere more economical; as such, I will have to set this wonderful hobby to the side for an indefinite amount of time.

I have learned much in the short time here, and appreciate all of the input and feedback I have received. What all of you have taught me is priceless and I will continue to pay it forward as much as possible.

Peace and Happiness to all,

El Gringo Loco

grow some flowers like me for a few years until you can get ur personal stash going, its good practis

looks dangerous..

lets see andys

Stinkbud,

Does your clone or vegging reservoir ever get a fishy type smell?

 

[Saladsmokin]

my digi cam jus broke hah. fuckin sux... but the strains are gdp, grape ape, and purple hardball... they are startin to look better.. ive been hella lazy lately wit checkin the ph. thats prolly wat it is haha checkin it like every 3 days.. but ive been chekin it for the past two days keepin it at 5.8 wen it goes to 6.0 it looks like they are happier tho. i may jus be trippin cuz im paranoid bout all this haha.

If you post pics someone will help you out. If it's just the very tips, then I would say TOO MUCH nutes! How old are they? What strain?

Milt

wait longer, my mj clones grow roots in the sb system in 5-7 days. My flowers and house plants take from 7-16 days to get roots. The first time I tried my sb cloner It took a month for my houseplants cuttings. Then I found out why. My tub was sittin on the cold kitchen floor. So the res temp was way low. Then I added a submersible fish tank heater and set it at 69f-70 I got the littlest one that wallyworld had and it works way faster now. Then I got the bright Idea to move it up off the floor into a higher warmer place. now Ive got most mj roots longer than the clone by day 8-9. Ive got clones comin out of my ears now. Never have I had all my clones live till now. Had to make a second cloner just to keep up.

Since this thread is so long and the search button seems as worthless at tits on rosie ohdonald (sp). How longs a good time to wait to put the clones in the veg with nuits. I put some In and its @1840 ppm rt now and they look fine but I just did it before I went to bed and woke up and it still looks the same. I dont want to waste these lil clones. Thanks a mil

well his is exactly like mine so it is not dangrous at all it acutually will save your timer

 

[StinkBud]

Stinkbud,

No but my wife does...

Try changing the water. Watch out for too warm of water temps.

The water should fell cold to the touch.

I move mine when the space opens up. At harvest time I move the veg plants into the flower room.

That opens up 14 holes in my veg unit that I fill with plants from the clone unit. Then I take more clones and I'm done.

You can move clones into veg and start feeding nutes as soon as you have roots (if you have the room).
