if i move my veg system under the HPS light in my closet that i had spider mites on a plant, will it be alright there? i took out the plant that had spidermites yesterday. today i wipped down the light and walls and fan wit rubbing alcohol and vaccummed. haha.. i dono.? i moved my veg system under the hps and im wondering if the spidermites should be gone or not even touch da plants cuz i already sprayed them with neem oil water once a week 2 times so far..
I would have set off a bug bomb first. Keep the door closed to kill everything.

Hopefully the neem oil will keep them off of your new girls.

Thanks SB!
I've been following since you were at around page 10. I decided to go with your system, but invert it. I'm going vertical! I'm on my third set of clones though. The first batch, I fried - heater went crazy. The second, i forgot to plug the pump in.:wall: Anyway, I thought I would give the idea a try vertically. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to horizontal. But again, THANK YOU!
Nice bro! Keep us posted... I too have been wanting to go vertical! How are you going to irrigate it? Sprayline or misters or what? I look forward to seeing it in action.

Dude, I wish I was that young! I'm the old guy that's been riding forever and I still suck!:hump:

If you are bored continue reading...

I started surfing and skating in early 70's. Played football since I was a little boy.

Moved to the NW and started skiing in the late 70's.

Started windsurfing in 1981.

Moved to Hawaii in 1984 and lived on the North Shore for 4 years. Windsurfed and surfed almost everyday. You guys ever hear of the Bonzi Pipeline? That's what I'm talking about...

Moved to Nor Cal in 87 and started snowboarding.

Back to the NW in the 90's for collage. Windsurfing, mountain biking and snowboarding were the shit back then.

Started Kiteboarding in 2000. Dirtbiking came soon after. Then came streetbikes.

Now I'm old as fuck trying to keep up with all these young pups. I guess that's why I'm so sore right now!:hump:

We have a group of guys that all hang out together. We snowboard all winter. Ride dirt bikes in the Fall and Spring and kiteboard in the Summer. Oh yea, some of us ride death machines too!

All the youngsters ride circles around me in the parks. Tricks are for kids...

Soon as it turns steep and deep the boys eyes get wide :shock: and the old man says, "step aside"...

At that point they learn the meaning of "respect your elders":clap:.

Someday I'll be able to come out of the closest. It would be cool to have a StinkFest! Or maybe Stinkapallozza:leaf:!

We could all hang out and try each others buds.:weed:
I knew you were a ripper, Stink! Skating, surfing, skiing, kiting, and snowboarding: You rock!

Yeah! Old guys can still get the job done - I still skate to this very day - I also started in the 70's! I can't even ollie (started before it was invented), but I can rip vert and pools... the kids shred the tech and the vert these days. I cruise - but I'm still out there. --and I ain't the youngest! Do you still skate or surf, Stink?

Yes - it would be great to hang with all you Stinkers! We could swap cuts, trade rips, and have fun. One day it will happen!

Either way is fine. I've done both. Lately I just break open the plug very carefully and remove the seedling. Then I just slip it into the collar and net pot like a normal cutting.

You have to do it as soon as the tap root is about 1-2" long. If you wait too long you are better off just leaving it in the RR plug.

Make sure you start feeding nutes as soon as the plant gets a decent set of roots.

I put mine right into the veg system as soon as I take it out of the plug.
So do you just stick the seed in the plug and put it in the dark until the tap root is the right length?

I am new but just went through this with some SB guidance. Here is what worked for me...
Day 1 start germ in paper towels
Day 2 move seeds with 1/8 to 1/4 inch tap root to PH'd rapid rooters with a little Superthrive in humidome with heatmat
Day 3 Put seedlings in humidome under T5
Day 4 tap roots are 3/4 inch out of rapid rooters in humidome. Tray of ph'd water with superthrive filled to within 1/4" of bottom of rapid rooters
Day 5 Break open rapid rooters carefully and move all seedlings into system. 1st set of true leaves are opening strong. BEGIN VEG FORMULA IMMEDIATELY AT 750 PPM. I lost a batch by waiting to give nutrients. DON'T WAIT. Put under 600 MH light at 2'6" Within 8 hours under MH and in system they really started to look healthy.
Day 6 Increase PPM to 930
Day 7 Increase PPM to 1010
Day 8 Increase PPM to 1200
Day 10 Increase PPM to 1320
Day 11 Increase PPM to 1510

My plants are currently happy at 1700 ppm and they are still in Veg. SB might tell you to go straight to 1500 PPM on day 1 but I was chicken and what I did worked great with Dutch Passion Blueberry.

Always keep Rez at 5.8

Good luck.

Hey CarWasher - thanks for the input... I too was hesitant to go straight to 2000 PPM as the guide recommends - so I went for 1300 though my gut told me it was still a bit high... after 24 hours things look OK but I'm wondering if I should lower the PPM's a bit... this strain of OG Kush I have burns easily...

Anybody:

My question - if a strain does well in Coco at a certain PPM - say 1200 - is that the best PPM for the same strain in a StinkAero system?

Cool! Have they all popped roots yet? They look really healthy, like you just cut them.

Jeez...has anyone here lost a clone yet? So far I think we are all hitting 100% success rates.

That's down right bizarre when you think about it!
I love it! I just continued my streak with a 3rd batch in the cloner! I put 'em in 7 days ago - yet it looks like the first ones must have rooted 1 or 2 days ago! So... perhaps 5 or 6 days to root! ...rockwool seems sooo hard and vague now!

Stink it up everybody!

what is everyone using for an exhaust timer, i have a thermostat for it but i want it to come on everyonce in a while if it doesnt get hot, right now i have it plugged into the art-dne with the pumps but 60sec on isnt long enough.
I use the Sentinel DRT-1 for any Recyle Timing... overkill for some applications but the digital accuracy and simplicity make it easy to use. The construction, mounting, display and keypad are first rate - IMHO!

Do you still skate or surf, Stink?
I don't skate anymore. The concrete they use nowadays is a lot harder than the old stuff in the 70's;-). Must be a different mix or something.

I still snowboard 3-5 days a week if the snow is good.

I don't surf traditionaly anymore but in the Summer we go to the coast and hit the surf with our kites.

Same boards but with straps. We boost huge on the way out and surf back in.
It's the shit. Paddling out is way too much work at my age!

Right now I live in one of the windiest spots on earth just so I can kiteboard everyday in the Summer.

If you saw me ride you would say "how can someone ride so long and suck so bad?"

I'm the happy kook!:bigjoint:

When I show up at the beach all the fellas come running. Everyone piles in the StinkBud van for a proper meeting. I love to make the kids laugh till they puke. (anyone under 35 is a kid to me)

Believe it or not I actually work a lot too!

I pop the seeds in wet paper towels first then put them in the RR plug. Then I take the plug an put it in a net pot and into the cloner.

I about a week the seedling will be about and inch long with the roots being about 2" long. Don't wait too long. Carefully pull them out of the plug and put them into a collar.

I put them right into veg at that point.

Excellent question.... I practised with a white widow from Nirvana with GH nutes at 500 ppm at a similar point point in process and burned - whereby I am thriving at 1500 to 1700 ppm with Botincare and SB's veg formula... I have learned to listen to SB. I hypothesize that Al B Fuct would disagree with SB on nute strength schedule. Maybe its the organics that allow higher ppm or the aeroponics??? Beyond me...
