Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Texas is most definitely a sellers market. Shwag runs like water here and theres so many places i can go and turn 30 bucks into a half-O. The range of quality is so wide here though, Ive seen anything and everything from some great green popcorn, to brown moldy shite.

When people get burned out on that stuff, they start looking for dro, and usually it doesnt matter what quality it is, as long as its not shwag, and thats when people start shelling out whatever amounts of $$$ for it.

One of the very few things that i like about Texas is its stable economy

when you say dro do you mean hydro or just kind herb. cause I think dro is short for hydro. Im not sure though, Im just a hick in the stick's
peace

Hey Stink, just finished testing my modded SB build
if you don't mind, not sure how much mist am aiming at inside and around the cup area
toke some shoots (more posted in my journal), what do you think is this sufficient misting in the cup area?
if i put my finger through, i can feel the tiny drops on my fingers
its very gentle and is noticeable passed the solid ring where the net portion starts

You have to vent the lights if your room is sealed. No choice here.

Hold off on the CO2 until you can get your temps under control.

You are going to have to pull the air to your lights from outside your room. I cut a hole in the wall and take the air from my bathroom.

Then I vent the hot air into the attic. My lights are warm to the touch.

Eventually A/C will be your only option. Soon as Summer hits even venting won't be enough.

The good news is eventually you will have everything you need and won't have to buy anything except nutes. It just seems like it takes forever.

If it makes you feel any better it took me 14 years to get all my stuff!



Those are the kind of guys I love to load a huge bong hit for them. Then I sit back and watch the show.

First they turn bright red, then puple/blue and last a kind of pasty white.

When they look up at you their expression is like they just got kicked in the nuts. After a couple of bong hits they always STFU.

Thanks stink for confirming that... It really does seem to be never ending equiptment issues...but at least the dankest dank is there to help me along .

Hey Stinkbud. Just wanted to say thanks for all the information. I just finished building all your units today and I have already started from seed in Rockwool. My seed already popped and is about 3" now. The little babies are sitting under 4 4ft T5 lights 24hrs a day and I just stuffed the Rockwool into the 2" cups. I was just planning to dump them in the veg unit but I would like to know when is the proper time to put them in the veg unit? I'm afraid your nute mix might be too much at such a young stage. What do you guys think? I'm also going to use a filter bag just in case some of the Rockwool manages to break off and clogs my pump. I also had another question for you guys out there on what lights to get. I'm going to run 4 vented 600 watt lights and I can't decide if I should go for
Cool Sun
http://www.sunlightsupply.com/hort/products.aspx?request=COOL-SUN-REFLECTOR&title=Reflectors&type=product or the
supersun II
http://www.sunlightsupply.com/hort/products.aspx?request=SUPER-SUN-2&title=Reflectors&type=product

The guy at the hydropshop says that even though the supersun II is small but it spreads light equally better than the wide ones. The wide ones even though they spread the light farther out that the lumens at the end are not as effective. Tell what you think guys.

Any help from stinkbud and buddies will be greatly appreciated.

I was worried the same and he said once they got roots and room in the veg to put them in, then do it. I did and mine are all fine. got a little lighter green for about 2 days and perked rt back up.
peace

I was thinking of using these to cool my lights http://www.horticulturesource.com/du...56d4a23ed8eb79

will they be enough? one fan for 2 lights in a line Pushing air from another room venting into the attic?

hey
can you smoke the Marijuana leaves without harvesting them?

you can if u realy want to

I have a 6in fan like that blowing my 1000w Hood. I also have a 110cfm ceiling fan later in the system. My 4x5x7 space stays 77*, about 5* more than ambient.

StinkBud said:

I've been trimming my buds right at harvest and putting them on a big window screen. I put the screen over a couple of spare containers with a fan near to keep the air moving.

I just leave it out, right behind me. I turn the buds twice a day. It takes 4-6 days to dry that way.

I always trim the shit out of my bud. I don't leave any leaf unless it's covered in crystals. I also cut the main colas down. If I can cut a bud off the main stem, I do.

This lets fresh air into the places that would normally mold.

master stink,
whats the reason for the containers under the screen, is it to catch fallen trichromes?

i think its for air flow no sure tho

has anyone noticed the little reputaion button in the top right corner on every post its a little cross
you can add to someones rep i did it for master stink

I always recommend going with soil if you are low on funds. The timer is just one small expense in the whole system.

Nutrients will be your biggest expense. They are very expensive. Although my system is cheap compared to buying one, it is still expensive to run. My system is not for everyone.

Grow with soil and save your money. In the long run this will save you a lot of frustration.

Agreed everything is set up, i have 15on and 2 hrs off, and they seem to be doing very well i think, just wondering if that sounded perfect, as far as nutes etc i have all that already, etc

Verdant said:

So some simple 4 foot fluorescent light's will do the trick with the clones? Say 2 of em?

And with the 400w MH on the veggers, should i expect to see some wickedcrazycool growth on them? To the point that maybe 2 weeks veg is more than enough?

Click to expand...

Ya, those cheap shop lights are all you need for clones. $7 at Wally's. Use the cool white tubes. You don't need those expensive grow bulbs for clones.

The 400 might make your veg plants too big. That's why I was thinking it might be better used in your flower room.

I lived in Texas for a couple of years. My friends down there where still smoking brown bud? Mexican dirt weed! It was so nasty. That was the first time I had seen any dirt weed since 1977. I shit you not!

They shit themselves when they tried my herb. I remember my friend taking some of my smoke home to his wife. She had never smoked any real buds.

He said it made her horny as hell! I remember thinking how fat she was and how that was just a little bit too much information if you know what I mean...

I'm rambling now...

There is some good bud around the Austin area. It's a little more liberal there.

Everywhere else in Texas seemed hillbilly without any hills. What do you call those those kind of people? Flatbillys?

Hello all! I've been reading this thread for about a month and thought I'd finally post, I have finished ordering everything and plan to start building my grow room soon!

Thank you Stink for all your information and simplicity of your system!

andyman said:

do you think I could put them into flower in those low temps without killin them? In a few weeks it should be much warmer there. at least over 60f all the time and not over 80f till summer when I have to vent heat.

Click to expand...

Yea, no problem. I would put them into flower right away.

It has to freeze to kill the plants. I've seen pictures of plants with snow on them. Indicas are especially hardy when it comes to cold.

Any Kush (Afghani) will handle a lot of fluctuations in temps. It gets cold in the Hindu Kush valley late in the season The plants have evolved to deal with the cold.

They can also handle seasonal changes very well because each year's weather may be totally different from the last.

Indicas have also evolved to produce a lot of different phenotypes. Some plants can handle the heat better, some the cold. Some of the plants can handle a wet year while others can survive a drought.

The plants have evolved so that no matter what happens, some plants will always survive.

Equatoral Sativas never have to deal with cold temps or changing conditions. That's why Sativa phenotypes are a lot more stable.

I don't know why I have to ramble on so much...

Everything you never wanted to learn in one convienent thread!

Yep, that's how you test it. Stick your finger in and if it comes out wet you know you're good to go.

This same technique works on the wife too...

You need to put seedling into the veg unit as soon as you have a decent tap root. They will die without nutes.

I have some seedlings in my veg unit that are lovin' life at 2000 PPM.

Either one will work great! Your plants won't care.

Good luck bro!

Jim, what kind of sprayers do you use? Where can I get that tubing and those connectors?

Jim Dunlop said:

I use sprayers upside-down in my aero system. It's a little different setup. Hope you don't mind me posting pic....

Starting from seeds here, have to start somewhere :/

By the way I use a 581 gph pump
