Here is the formula for my flower room:

Botanicare Nutrients:
126ml Cal-Mag Plus
150ml Sweet
180ml Liquid Karma
540mlL Pure Bend Pro Bloom

Mix all the nutrients in a spare gallon milk container. Add water and shake well. The whole mix will take an 18 gal rez to 2900 PPM.

You need a PPM meter that goes to at least 2000 PPM.

Add about half of the mix and check your PPM. It will be low so you will have to keep adding nutrients until you get it to 2000 PPM.

It is easy to add more nutes but hard to take them out:mrgreen: If you go over you have to drain some nute/water from the rez and add more plain water.

That's why you want take it slow at first.

Always adjust your PH after you set your nutrients PPM.

I am running a dwc/bubbler or whatever it is called. And have never really had anything to do with ppm or ec before (DUE TO GROWING ALWAYS IN COCO), AND WAS WORRYING ABOUT UNDERSTANDING HOW TO WORK IT OUT BUT READING THAT MADE THE PENNY DROP, CHEERS STINKY.

How many lights would you run over the top of this flower unit? Hps or led? I am thinking of spending a little extra and going for the led. What do you think?

there are alot of posts so my bad if it was answered.

but how many total watts a month does it take to run this setup.

if u want to run 3 systems flowering then ull need 2 600 hps......on a mover if possible air cooled
2 1000 air cooled with no mover necessary
ull obviously yield more with the 2000 compared with 1200......but its less heat and less cost to run and youll probably yield more per watt

if u dont run co2 expect about .75 grams per watt once ur dialed in
if u add co2 expect 1.2 after ur dialed in............good genetics is a must

im a total noob and i hit 1.2 every grow with some grows up to 1.5 grams per watt with co2
master your system and get the greatest combo of yield and quality...........then ull hit the numbers

Had to make my first ever post in tribute to this thread! Stinkbud has shared a great system that has been proven to work by many growers both old school and newbies alike.

I especially like the "spreading the love" philosophy and there have been many here who have embodied it extremely well. Thanks to Stinkbud/Dirthawker/RepVip/Lionsroar/Andyman for all the great information and help.

Will see everyone on Stinkbuddies.com!

its very easy to start
if u have access to slips or rootless clones build your cloner first
if u have access to rooted clones or ur starting with seeds (femmed are best for aero) then build the veg unit first.......get at least 20 seeds to start if possible
then after u get going start to build the cloner.........and then build your first flowering system
it seems overwhelming at first but it gets easier..........

I'd like to talk about growing in general and the concepts that produce fast growth. I'd to keep it simple so anyone can understand.

Plants have needs just like you and me. The biggest difference is that plants make their own food. To put it simply, plants make sugar and the sugars power plant growth.

So what does a plant need to make sugar? Carbon, Oxygen, Water and light. They also need small amounts of nutrients and of course Chlorophyll.

The plants take in the Carbon (CO2) through the leaves. They take in water and nutrients through the roots. What most people don't know is plant also take in their Oxygen through the roots.

Because plants give off Oxygen many believe O2 is a non issue. In realty it's usually the determining factor in maximum plant growth.

So if you look at what a plant need it's obvious where the bottle necks can occur.

Light is the most important element in any grow. Light is what powers photosynthesis. The more light the faster the plants grow, it's that simple.

Water and nutrients are a non issue. Why? Who has ever had a problem over watering and over fertilizing? I have. It's easy to give too much water and drown your roots. Too much nutes and you burn the shit out of them. So the problem is not giving the plants enough water and nutes...it's usually giving them too much!

Carbon is one of the building blocks of sugar. The plant needs lots of CO2 for fast growth. Normal air is between 200-500 PPM. Not much compared to what the plant can actually use. Plants can easily use 1500 PPM or more.

Oxygen is probably the most overlooked elements in plant growth. Even though plants give off more O2 than they take in, they still use a lot of Oxygen in the sugars they make.

My system addresses each one of these issues.

Light is right. You already know how to add more light.
Water and Nutrients are fed and monitored perfectly.
Carbon is added with a CO2 system.
Oxygen is the main advantage of my Aeroponic system.

Think of it this way...the plant breaths in Oxygen through it's roots and out through it's leaves. So imagine yourself a plant and let's do a test:

1) Dig a whole in some dirt. Stick your head in it and fill it back up. Now take a deep breath. This is what growing is soil is like.

2) Now fill a container with water and stick your head in it. Oh yea, don't forget to add some air stones first. Now take a deep breath. This is DWC.

3) Now just take a normal deep breath. This is Aeroponics.

Am I getting my point across?

Got a bit of an time sensitive question as I am following the instructions out of the High Times release.

I have clones ready to go, but they were prepared in rockwool. Will I get away with holding them in a 3" cut net pot by holding them with the top collar? I would imagine a neoprene insert cut for rockwool and covered with some mylar/poly will still keep the mist in!

A picture for an example.

Grey net pot, dark green rockwool, vanilla would be my current root system

I have something kind of similar to this setup, but my res is much much smaller.. I think i can only add like 3 or 4 gallons of water into it, if my pump is the same size as the one used in stinkbuds system will overheating be a definite problem? pump runs 1 min on 5 min off
