Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

SB, I gotta question about strains for you...

Seems like you pick strains that have berry in them. Purple silver, goo, blueberry, ect.
Do you pick these because they taste the best with the Berry "Sweet" Amino Complex?

Have you ever tried something like Lemon Skunk and run Citrus "Sweet"? I'm thinking it would taste like a damn lemon drop.

Thanks buddy.

found some sort of pest today on my veg plants. puts little white dots on the leaves. very small. and then I see something small and black on the underside. When I squish it , it smears like any other bug , unless that was its droppings.(sure hope not, eww)
any help. This way I know what preditor bugs to get.
thanks

The last pic you can see the little pricks

I was turned on to a new product my local shop. One brand name is called - Azatrol. Very effective with gnats and root aphids on some infected mothers. I understand it works on mites too. Makes insects full and not want to eat.

Read about it on the internet here and decide if it is for you.

I did not follow the instructions either. I did not change my res. I ended up getting some kind of "nutrient lockout" from salt buildups. My plants actually started to die. To some it looked like "Thrips". Yesterday I changed out the res. I looked today after work and they look 100% better! (Thanks to all who helped!)

My advice, if in doubt, change the res.!
Water and nutes are cheap compared to all the time invested!

Andyman, sorry about the bugs. I hate BUGS! I live in the Arctic Circle and the only good thing about it is no bugs!

Miltons .02 cents.

Thanks for posting that update. Good news is, well... good news! Arctic Circle... Cool!

Ouch! I hate to see pics like those! Spider mites. By far the worst thing that can happen to a grower. Unfortunately it happens to everyone.

Buy some triple threats for your flower room. Remember, you can't buy too many predators. The more you buy, the faster the problem will end.

Spray all your clones and veg plants with Neem oil. Don't over due it though. Turn the lights off when you spray.

Wash every surface with bleach water, twice.

Normally I tell people not to worry but in this case, worry. Mites are bad. I've lost entire crops to mites many times in the last 15 years.

You can kill a lot of bugs just by running your fingers over each leaf.

Plain water is great. It makes it hard for the bugs to move around. Enough water will drown them. You can't spray thick buds with water though because you might end up with mold.

You can spray new buds and all the large fan leaves with water. I set my water bottle to spray a hard stream. I lift each leaf and spray the bottom hard to knock off as many pests as possible.

I do the same thing to the clones but with a tablespoon of Neem oil added. I also put a couple of drops of liquid soap in the water also. It helps the water flow better.

All this should be done while you're waiting for your predators to arrive.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks so much for that link again. Im ordering tomorrow. I got some organic spray that mostly has dif oils in it . Mostly spices kinda oils. anyway I showed the worst pic and I think I caught it early enough it will be ok. The good news is there only on the veg and clones. This is the first time Ive had spider mites. thanks again every one :weed:

Could be.

Anybody see a 120+watt LED in use? I haven't. Until now :hump:

This is a 350watt tri-band panel. Replaced a 1000watt HPS.

Utilizing StinkBud system.. plants start on the right and move to the left with each harvest. This way they will start under the LED and finish under the 1000watt HPS.

Boys... lets hope this works! I won't keep you hanging.

I thought I would share pics I just took of one some of the organic bud I am smoking which is also part of 1 of the 6 BlueBerry that Femenized and the precious beautiful cargo they are carrying! :hump:

It looks BlueBerry huh?

How about 1lb per week? That is what I average with my set up. But I'm prob. growing more plants at one time per week than you. Each week I add four plants and remove four plants.

Starts like this.

Starting with an empty grow room......

Week one: 4 plants in.

Week two: 4 plants in.

Week three: 4 plants in.

Week four: 4 plants in.

Week five: 4 plants in.

Week six: 4 plants in.

Week seven: 4 plants in.

Week eight: 4 plants in. 4 plants out.

Once this system is established like above, one will pull four plants and add four plants each week. By doing so in time one will be picking at least a pound per week. Of course that depends on the type of plant one is growing. My plants are ready for picking at the end of the seven weeks.

Good luck!

Guys, awesome pics! That blueberry looks delicious DB. Looking forward to your grow repvip, I'm a LED skeptic but maybe the bigboy LEDs are the real deal. Cheers.

It looks cool as hell. They don't have to be close to the plants like flouros? I never have checked into it. Everything you have done up to now has been outstanding. Can't wait to see.

Thanks! I'd rep ya again, but I can't haha.

So.. the distance thing has me frustrated. I assume the closer the better--but when you start getting close the coverage area goes way down.

It's advertised as 8'x6' coverage with 4'x6' "core flowering coverage", but the real question is.. how high does the LED need to hang to give this coverage..

I have also wondered if you could get too close... aren't these lights designed with different spectrum LED's so they blend together? Where is the best distance for this blend?

Lots of questions... we will see. I am hoping the addition of CO2 +LED will make up for the 1000w HPS that was removed. It's cool as fuck though--there is NO HEAT at all! The dehumidifier puts out way more.

fasho thanks RooFerr. Ill try that out.. it doesnt matter if i run the vent fan 24 7? and wen i get that first harvest im gna add co2 a.c. and add timers.

how about.. fuck off! You don't know shit. Read the thread.

Real nice asshole! It's people like you that I want to kick the shit out of! Grow up Jerk! I've been growing for 28 years! And you... One day!

On your diagrams for the cloner. veg unit, and flowering units, you list specific pvc pipe lengths. Is this the length that you cut to? because on the diagrams, it actually looks like its the length of the pipe that is actually exposed. Since the elbows, T's, and end caps all take at least an inch on each side.

just wondering. Or is it not that important?

I just built the veg unit tonight. If you use the measurements, it doesn't look exactly like the picture. I pondered it a bit and said WTF.. it;s just gonna spray water to hell and back anyways so on with the glue....

I haven't run it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna spray water :leaf:

I'm going to try the Citrus flavor next time. I'm curious as to how it changes the flavor.

This is not the thread for this kind of attitude.

We are all friends here. This thread is more than just about growing. It's about helping your fellow man. It's all about spreading the love.

There is too much hate in the world today. I'd like to think of this thread as a haven from all the negative vibes that surround us.

It's hard to ask for an apology and even harder to give one. It takes a big man to forgive!

It would be great if you guys could keep the thread positive and help one another.

What's the StinkBud motto?
"Spread the Love"....

I'm stoked to hear that they are only on the veg and clones.

That's not hard to deal with because you can spray them.

The flower room is a whole different story though. As soon as you have buds you have to stop using sprays.

If I were you I would still put some predators in the flower room just to be safe.

Looking great! This is very exciting. I can't wait to get your opinion on that LED Repvip.

typ3ss · Mar 20, 2009

is it possible to trim your roots if they are too long in the veg/flowering? i saw on this post somewhere but forgot where, something about trimming roots?

thanks in advance

i built it last night. it worked like a charm. I filled it with water in the kitchen sink and plugged it in. I got soaked! Killed any doubts I had.

Now to score some clones. I have a guy who knows a guy...

Oh yeah, how far below the neoprene collars must the stem of the clone protrude? Anyone know?
