Stink, and anyone else who knows.

I know ive asked this before, but im getting ready to reserve some new babies and i wanted some opinions on which ones out of these would be the best, dankest and biggest yielders. And would finish nicely within the 9 weeks.

OG Kush - SFV cut
Master Kush
Strawberry Cream
Green Crack
OG Kush - Apothacary cut
Lemon Kush
Sour Diesel
818 LA Confidential
OG Kush - aka Lemon Kush

Wow, Dirt! You got access to SFV cuts?! You are in with that one! OG Kush - especially the SFV - is my fav... it's not the biggest yielder - grows with large internodes and little round nuggets, tall and skinny plants - all the nugs - even the bottom branches are excellent on this strain. The small, larfy, popcorn on other strains that you toss for trim are all dank on this plant - literally, bong-hit size nuggets taste just like the heart of the main cola (OK - but close!)! I have had much success with OG in CanaCoco/Perlite, and Advanced Nutes. Again, the yield is not as big as other strains but this is the one everybody wants (right now anyway - clubs pay 5K plus for pounds of this medicine). The nuggets are incredibly dense - and I have seen PM on more than one occassion. They have an incredibly strong odor - even in veg state - and filters need to be used at all stages of growth if odor is an issue. I think this strong scent may attract insects too as gnats and spider mites seem to love this strain in more than one SFV garden.

I will be taking SFV cuts for the Stink method today or tomorrw. SFV is really hard to root, though I have about 90% success in rockwool with this strain. I am looking forward to success in the AeroCloner, but I expect it will take all of 2 weeks and then some for these SFV cuts to root. I dream of tasting this (current king of strains IMHO) in the Stink system - let's work on it together? Get SFV cuts and we can put em in our cloners at the same time! Through the grow we could help each other out on the particulars of getting the most out OG in aero.

I love MasterK too - though no grow experience - another crowd fav.

I have some Bubba too - lots of different genes on this strain - I have a good one... Bubba grows a looser bud - with a great flavor.... this strain also seems to be LA Confidential in many circles - though I can not detect a diff.

I just took Headband clones out of the cloner - this strain is easy to root and grow. I believe this is a sativa dominant strain judging by the way it grows (looking at a mom of it right now). It has slender leaves and grows generally taller and skinnier but it produces dense buds on all branches. Lots of variation in this strain... I have seen some that are like SourD, while other strains of HB are more of a kush.

I would love to get my hands on SourDiesel. My fav for the up high. I have been in line to get some cuts of that for awhile but it never seems to work out... I understand SD is a harder strain to root... taking my mentor several weeks to root some... (he can get 2x4's to root!)

hello there. i am growing white widow, bubba cough, purple g-13, shiva skunk, i just harvested the white widow plants. and i put them in a box and hang them upside down. but the problem is that within a week, the smell turned into green smell, we already trimmed all the leaves out. but there is still the green smell then we put them in the glass jar for another week but the problem got worster the green smell got worst. how do i dry and cure the plant to get a good smell and a good taste? could u help me out?

just grabbed few units to tryout, here is the Strong Box i was talking about
test pictures and more posted in my grow room (follow link in my signature)









this is what i decided to go with

Did you grow your plants using the StinkBud system?

If not, I would suggest reading the thread first.

Built the small, six-hole version with a 10 gallon. Growing from seed. I can germinate like a champion and get them started in Rapid Rooters. No problem.

Opened the rapid rooters after the tap root was out of the rapid rooter 1/2 inch and put 5 into the system. My conditions were ideal, 78 degrees, 40%, T-5's at about 6 inches, ventilation, 5.8 distilled etc but the plants stunted and what I noticed was that the roots really weren't branching or growing much. Only showing slight nubs for branches after almost one week. Above the net pots the seedlings looked droopy and overwatered. It seemed like the tap root was always soaked and held water too easily with 1 on and 5 off and maybe they needed some more air. So I went to 1 on and 10 off. Still no change after another couple days. It was like they were just happy getting their 5.8 distilled water and didn't have to work for it.

Sorry for the newb question. I am restarting 5 new ones and planning to grow the seedlings a lot longer in the rapid rooters and then transfer them to the system when they have multiple roots showing.

At that point, I will be very concerned about the feeding schedule again - particularly since they will be in rapid rooters.

Suggestions? Thanks.

You need to give seedlings nutrients right away or they will die. They have just enough nutes stored the seed to pop roots and a couple of small leaves and that's it.

That's why the first thing the seed does is send out roots. It needs water and nutrients to live.

I start feeding my seedlings right away. As soon as I pull them out of the Rapid Rooter plug I put them in the veg unit. The ones I have growing now are loving life at 1500 PPM.

Wow. 1500 ppm. Well I have to learn to listen to those I respect. I will try again. Very humbling experience. Thanks.

i've read most this thread, but do you guys ever consider tossing the used nutrients on the lawn rather than pouring them down the drain?

when i get my system built (had an aero cloner already.....building a vegging unit then a 5 foot system for flowering) i might change it out every 2 weeks and dilute it 50% with rev os water and use on my coco plants........
i couldnt throw nute water out......to cheap

Hey Lion thanks for the headsup on the strains. Lets do that with the SFV cut, and others...I have a feeling these hard to grow strains will be no problem in the stink system.

on a sour note,, I had a stroke of bad luck last night, somebody crashed there car into a transformer and we lost power for about 8 hours..i immeaditly hooked up my UPS but it only worked for about an hour..so the plants didnt get water or light for a good 7 hours. This morning when i awoke all the plants including clones and veg plants were all drooping bad. The power is back on now and running normal and they seem to be starting to recover....

Stink, what kindof dammage happens with this? do the plants get stunted? or do they lose some vigour forever etc? being without light for 7 hours during light cycle has got to have some negative effects?

That sucks Dirt, hope they come back. You think you'll be getting a generator now?

If they are not dead, you will be fine.

I've had a pump go out once and the same thing happened. I thought they would all die.

The good new is they all came back with no ill effects. They lost a couple of leaves but I just pulled those off and everything was back to normal within a few hours.

Now you understand why a generator is a good investment. That was a freak accident but you never know when a big storm will hit you.

If the rapid rooter with seedling goes into system with a few roots poking out and say 2 inches tall, how would you set the timer to water? I tried moving just seedlings into system after taking them out of rapid rooter but 1 on and 5 off drowned them. I hope a longer time in rapid rooter gaining strength will give them more of a chance once in the system but am afraid of drowning them again.

Anyone from experience?

They won't drown at 1/5. Start feeding them nutrients as soon as they show real leaves.

I put my seedlings right into veg first thing.

Here is a tip:
If the seedlings start to stretch, just pull the seedling and collar out of the net pot. Now slide the seedling down the collar so the leaves are just above the net pot. Slide the collar and plant back into the net pot and you're done.

You can do this as much as needed to keep your seedlings short. I always do this at least once but rarely more times than that.

It looks as though, as Bob Marley so graciously put it "every little thing is gonna be alright"

the plants are back to normal now....whewwwwww thanks

Hey guys. I am waiting for the first harvest to build the flower system and due to only having 48" below the lights I am going to have to use a mover on the air cooled 100HPS (built out of garage door opener just waiting on an adjustable timed relay to finish) and put the reservoirs below the floor. That isn't a problem due to the fact my room is above another room with a false ceiling and I have large shelves they can sit on. It should make it easy to drain as well thanks to our friend gravity. All this is said to say I may not have grown these with this system but I have read the entire thread and keep up with it daily. I AM A STINK BUDDY! I built the cloner and am on my 2nd set of clones in it. The first set I did in RR's and they are the smaller ones in the flower room. They are Bubble Gum from DP while the other large ones are DP BlueBerry at 3 weeks of flowering today. There are also pics of my two BllueBerry Feminized moms and my replacement mom Bubble Gum and the first set of Bubble Gum clones taken out and planted 2 days ago and the Blue Berry Feminized clones at 1 day old. I am using all organics and these things are DANK, DENSE and STICKY! I harvested one lanky plant that was not going to produce good and, taking up too much space last week, and it was better than the best I have bought at 2 weeks old. I can only imagine what these will turn out like. So what do you guys think?

You might be the first! Give it a go and let us know what happens. Pictures too.

I'd try it, but my lawn is currently on a hunger strike on account of being dry humped at the moment by the 3 feet of snow laying on top of it.

Quick Question.... Im on Page 51 right now.. but its Fri. and I'm headed out...

I have a great looking plant and have built your aero cloner system to a "T".... My cuttings have been in the system for about 8 days and are doing great! They all look like they came right off the plant still! Anyhow, most all are showing bumps and a few already have roots (just came out today, literally).. now the questions...

I put in the clonex and plane water ph'ed correctly to what you had (cant remember right now.) but I think it was like 5.8 or something. I then left them alone under a 20in flo tube. The larger fan leaves on some of the cuts (the faster rooting ones) started to become yellow.. why? Is this ok? I cut them off as soon as the entire leaf turned yellow as I thought that they were literally using the nute in the leaves to grow... is this true?

I cut them because once yellow I figured it was just a draw for water and that they were of no use to the plant anymore... am i right on doing this?

My last question is, can I start adding nutes to the mix now? and at what level would you use?

O and the yellowing has started to move towards the tips of the smaller leaves in beween the nodes (the part right above the fan leaf)...

Thank you so much!

Ps.. i'd post pics but im a lil iffy on that because of possible fed. seeing and seizing the op... pretty gay. Even though it is for my own usage... but whatever.

If someone could post about how to safely post them then its a non issue.

Thanks again....
