DirtHawkers first indoor aero/nft "stinkbud design" medical grow

[DIRTHAWKER]

Hey i just got a cutting of chemdog! anyone have any info on it?
how long? how does it grow? tall? short? sativa? indica?

 

[alsoranmike]

I hate you Dirt, you seem to get all the tasties. nuff said.

Actually not, since I never shut up.

So here is my question:

Can anyone just walk into the dispensaries there (in Cali I am assuming you're located, or any state for that matter honoring medi-herb cards) and just grab up clones? Or must one be a card carrier for the most part?

Thanks,
Jealous Mike

you must be a MMJ Patient to get into the store, and have your rec. with you.. after that yes u can just walk in and buy clones..

Yea, you need to be a medical card holder to get in the door.

another question anyone here of this stuff called bushmaster? Its some stuff you use on tall sativas to keep them short ?

yea chef,,i got the 91 chem.

never heard of it dude.. how bout a link? i grabbed the 91 bcuz i havent been able to find any #4.. if it is anywhere near the #4 this shit will be straight fire. i think itll be 10 weeks finisher.. not sure tho.. but either way ive got to fulfill my med needs so if its 10 weeks so be it. 1 week extra every 4 racks or so wont hurt any.

Dabney blueberry.... whats the deal with this strain?

Ive read it is an 8 week finisher,, yet mine is at 8 weeks now and doesnt even look close? its very girthy but just not frosted yet and looks kinda dryish. hmm?

 

[420weedman]

8 weeks is a pipe dream ... almost always

 

[StinkBud]

Another way i was thinking would probably work is to keep the fast finishing strains in veg for a predetermined amount of time then move them to there holes in flower. That way you can flush everything together and finish all at one time. Just have to keep the nutes a bit lower at first.

Dude that's a great idea! Leave the spaces all on one end so the old plants don't shade the new ones.

One strain per system would be the best. Don't you have 4 flower systems now? You could run 4 of the best strains and not have to deal with different finishing times.

It has quite a bit of Sativa in it - Chemdog is what puts the D in Diesel - that unique taste that Diesel has is from the Chemdog... you can mistake it for SourD - and shares many of the same qualities - one of my favs if it's good. I'd grow a good pheno of it - but a lesser model may not be optimum in the Stink system... we will see!

I used tap water (600+ ppm) with clonex and I saw roots in 3-4 days! Could be the genetics of SSH, but doesn't get much faster than that. I will use tap water again for my next batch of clones as well, I think ur right. The added Calcium and Magnesium must play a part?

But strictly RO for Veg/Bloom, I like to add an additional 600+ ppm's worth of nutes.

Bummer about ur regulator, do you know the seed company that makes red-grape?

For my last batch I used RO - and then tap to about 150PPM. It worked well - but I think Arrowhead drinking water still works better. My tap is gnarly - about 600PPM like you - but lots of chlorine too... more than I am guessing you have. Super Silver Haze is known to be a quick rooter - but your results are still stellar!

 

[LionsRoor]

Heres an obsevation that might trip some people out.

I took cuttings 3 weeks ago and put them in the cloner with clean 0ppm RO water and clonex. Only a few of them have roots.

I took cuttings of the same strains a little over a week ago and put them in a unit with 600+ tapwater and no clonex...guess which ones are doing better?

the tapwater and no clonex ones are kickin ass and have tap roots already.

It does not surprise me at all! RO/purified water is known to not work well for cloning as it lacks essential elements. One of the big warnings in the EZ Cloner manual is DO NOT USE PURIFIED / RO WATER. Many people add CalMag or a low amount of a bloom fertilizer low in nitrogen to their RO water. I add tap water to my RO to 150 PPMs and it works well... I arrived at this number as Arrowhead drinking water is about 135 - 150 PPMs and it works great for cuts - IMHO. I rooted the OG in 8 days - all 21 with good roots in 3 weeks - never adjusting or checking PH after filling the res initially.

how many cuttings can you take from a seedling with the first month?

Somebody, help this guy out! I would love to help you grow your own medicine, Bra - but even sending 1 seed to you is a felony - as I am in the US. So sorry to hear that they have clamped you to that degree! Good luck with the hunt.

 

[DIRTHAWKER]

Sorry weedman.. lion is right...good luck to ya.

Im gonna try that Lion tap mixed with ro water to 150ppm see hhow it goes.

3 days till the end of 9 weeks ...everything is ready, except of course the sour d. I havent started the flush yet,, im gonna wait as long as i can and then do a 3 day sweet flush and cut the tops of everything but SD, then hopefully harvest the SD a week later, but i doubt it will be done. I would just sacrifice the sd but there is so many buds i think i will get 4-5 oz from the 2 plants.


picture time!

Love the outside room dirt that is one sweet setup!!

Window AC units, when mounted with a 5degree downward slant at the back, allows the water to drain out of the back of the unit. I had mine level at first, and it worked, but it works more efficiently when it can dump out the water it accumulates. I mounted mine with an extra rubbermaid container underneath to catch any water that comes out--it has only dripped once when it was raining and the outside humidity was 100%.

I should have gotten a bigger unit! 5200 BTU is weak sauce.

 

[DIRTHAWKER]

Funny you said that Rep... my AC was level and the water was puddling on the shelf. Instead of remounting my shelf i just stuck a board under it to angle it forward.. now there is one place it drips inside of the room and i have a little pale with a towel folded inside to catch the water..it only drips when its humid outside.

I keep debating to myself about modifying one or two of the flower units to a three post system,,,but i just havent pulled the trigger yet...it will be really crowded if i do.

 

[morrisgreenberg]

hey dirt, about the mod, may i make a suggestion? you can pick up a rubbermade 54 gallon, they are low to the ground and 42inchs wide, i fit 5 posts on it, one pump, and very efficient

 

[thecholochef]

ive been researching modifying the system to try and run 2 trees each rack and pull out 1-2lbs a tree. hence pulling out 2-4 lbs every 3 weeks.. it will take a longer veg cycle of course.. but that res might just be what ive been looking for..

[morrisgreenberg]

oh yea, for me its all about the rez, not only wide enough, but its approx. 14-16in tall, by far the shortest tote i can find, with these though, you will need to get good tape and cover the handle area, they has vents that runoff can get through
