Additionally, I mixed strains that don't do well together - OG Kush and Headband. While they both have Sativa in them, the HB is a really lanky plant that needs more nutes and light to grow properly (IMHO).

Awesome room Lion!:clap:

I bought some clones yesterday... I was wondering the same thing... What goes together?

The redwood sativa I started out with, are just too huge for this system. I got the seeds from an outdoor grower, I believe that is where they belong.. Outdoors.
At this point I'm just gonna top the heck out of them, see how they respond etc.
My guinea pigs :shock:

Yesterday I bought clones for myself & another med patient:

UK Cheese
Blackberry Bubba Kush
Bananna Kush
Ortega
pre 98 Bubba
Purple Urkel
Purple Extreme
Black Domina

I missed the Dj's Blueberry & Cherry AK 47 :wall: Which is what I really went there for...

Anyone have an idea how to set these strains up in the Stinkbud 9000?

Here are some pics at day 25... needless to say, I veged too long! I was finishing my room and underestimated the power of the Stink system! The plants grew right up and over the supports - forcing me to raise the lights much higher than I intended. Stink told me the sweet spot for flowering was 6 - 12 inches, of course he was right. I will be sure to get my 3rd batch into flower at the right height.

Additionally, I mixed strains that don't do well together - OG Kush and Headband. While they both have Sativa in them, the HB is a really lanky plant that needs more nutes and light to grow properly (IMHO). It is not ripening as the OG is. It also has taken over with lots of spindly growth. I did not do any pre-flowering trimming or pruning. I think that was a mistake too. I just did not know what to expect.

I had so many variables this grow with building the new room, and introducing the new system all at one time - but things are fairly stable now and I am happy to be cruising along - even if I do have an overgrown garden!

Thanks, Stink, thanks, Stinkbuds!

Nice lineup AERO, when you flower the first clones its pretty much a guessing game to find a ppm that is suitable for all the different strains..start low and add until you see tip burn.

Hey Stinkbud,

I haven't been following this for awhile, but that article was in the back of my head. I went out yesterday and sure enough there it was on the stand on the cover no less - June issue.

I read through it and liked all of the updated pictures and even made mention on another site to go run out and buy the magazine.

I was looking through it again this morning and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it got screwed up. The veg section shows an 18 hole NFT unit with corresponding blueprints, however, all of the text explains how to build the tote veg unit. Uhg - I hope they make mention on the site and post corrections.

I know! I wish I could have reviewed the article before it came out. Oh well...

ok after rechecking the co2 calculator i should only be running 11 minutes per hour......but my timer is 15 minimum ....so i only need 9 cycles per 12 hour on period
im going to fix the timer and see where the temps go after a 12 hour period
i was hoping to not go over 85 degrees........but im hoping if it peaks a little over ill be ok
Click to expand...
It's ok to go over 85 a little if you have CO2. You will be surprised how much CO2 you can actually pump into the room without hurting the plants.

Heat is always an issue no matter what.

Wow! Your plants are looking great! Super healthy. You will end up with a huge harvest this time.

Bend and tie down the tall plants. The OG must have a lot of Indica in it. I heard it is full on couch lock weed. True one hit shit...

If I hit 90 for a few minutes an hour will I hurt them?
What controller do I want the will monitor and dial In the co2. Turn my pumps on 1 on and 5 off (6 pumps) and cut the co2 off if Temps hit over 90? I don't have external exhaust so I need co2 cutoff since I'm using a generator which adds heat

As much as I love the AK it took too long to finish. Any Kush will be a good choice.

Kush genetics come from the Hindu Kush Valley. So the strains originate from Afghanistan. Afghan strains are used for making hash so they have been breed to produce a lot of resin.

They are also known to have a heavy body stone vs. a cerebral high like you get from a Sativa.

Afghan plants are perfect for indoors. The growing season is so short in Afghanistan that the plants have been breed to finish early.

...Boy that list looks mighty familiar... :idea: i'll put it this way, if this is the spot im thinking it is, ( drive down the coast to get there ) you need to be there right when they open to catch those blueberry. i missed em quite a few times then finally got there 15mins b4 they opened to snag some..

very nice line-up tho.. maybe a clone swap in the future?? :joint:

I've learned so many new things thru this process... Now I get to learn some Geography too? How awesome is that! Thanks kiss-ass

I think it would be ok if the AK took longer. I'm in this for personal meds that are peaceful, organic - non toxic. Unless I'm not understanding how the process has to be, I probably won't be trying for a harvest every 3 weeks.

Where would I put it all? :shock:

Hey Roor, we were talking a few pages back about super cropping this guys grow with similar explosive growth.

This might be a good option if you find your vertical height is limited by your roof haha.

I have super cropped plants at week 2.5 or 3 i cant remember...but it worked out really well.


I just flowered mine at 8" and they still are giong to be taller than I had hoped.

VERY HEALTHY LOOKING!

Haven't I waited too long to do any pruning? I think a little bending is my only option at this point... I think they have stopped growing vertically - so with the light maxed, I think I will be able to get to harvest! ...fingers crossed!

90 is HOT! Over 90 is danger... even with CO2. ANY CO2 monitor will work - to monitor your CO2. To my knowledge, there is not a controller with a 1/5 pump timer built-in. Monitor temps with a thermostat device - this can be an environmental controller with a thermostat built in or a separate device. You do not want to monitor your CO2 with a thermostat!

You need to have exhaust - even a perfectly sealed room needs to be exhausted periodically. Gas burning CO2 gens MUST have some amount of oxygen to properly combust your propane or natural gas. Not only do they run most efficiently with complete combustion, they are safe this way. Failure to completely combust your gas will leave carbon monoxide in your room - this is lethal. You can buy a carbon monoxide sensor for your room for about $20 (for $50 you can get a digital one that will actually read the level!) or a combo meter with a smoke alarm for about $30.

Dirt just scored the Sentinel CHHC-1 for less than $400. At that price, this is a steal as you can rig your environment ANY way you like... even if you just use the CO2 monitor/contoller - at $400 you can't go wrong. With the CHHC-1, if you set the CO2 temp interlock to "connect", your CO2 gen will shut off when your "cooling" receptacle is activated (even with or without a device actually attached to the cooling receptacle).
