Thanks Andy. I'll let you know. What did you think of the roots? I put Stinks veg recipe at just over 1400ppm. Hopefully, the healing will begin.
Goodnight.

they looked fine. Ive dam near murderd mine and droped stuff on them and broke them in half and other dumb stuff and the next day there right back to normal. They are pretty tuff plants (grow like weeds) and can handle a lot of abuse.

Wow props to you Stink Bud!!!! I have a few questions for you about this system...

Well first let me give you my story... Im looking to grow in a 4x8 grow tent eventualy and Im trying to build a system were I can harvest every 3 weeks like yours... Of course I want to keep costs down...

I know that MJ needs different ppm at different stages in its growth cycle... so the system that I choose needs to allow me to move the plants as I clone a new batch and start them flowering...

I was originaly going to go with a 4" pvc setup that was 7 foot long and had 3 different rezs so I could have week 1-3, 3-6, 6-9, at different ppm... but buying 3 sets of everything is gona run me around 450 dollars and is gona be a bitch to move if I ever need too...

So I found this setup and decided maybe this is the one I should be building...

So here are my questions...

1) on page 75 while you are talkinga bout building the flowering setup you refer to a plan several times but I havent found one yet... are you refering to the pictures?
2) at the end of the fence post were the water trains back in, arent there a shit ton of roots that hang down into the rez eventualy? And if so doesnt the light hurt them?
3) how much would you estimate each one of these setups cost you to build?
4) How are you filtering the water to avoid the sprayers from clogging?
5) I might have missed it but what type of sprayers are you using?

Thanks so much in advance! Your the man!!!

hey jager
your veggies will grow faster if you give them 6 hours of darkness a day

There are complete plans and instructions on PDFs at the bottom of the thread on page 75.

2) at the end of the fence post were the water trains back in, arent there a shit ton of roots that hang down into the rez eventualy? And if so doesnt the light hurt them?

The roots are inside the fencepost. We just cut them off when they start hanging out the bottom.

3) how much would you estimate each one of these setups cost you to build?

Cloner and veg unit cost about $40.
Flower unit costs about $80

4) How are you filtering the water to avoid the sprayers from clogging?

EcoPlus pumps have a built in filter. You can also use a stocking or pump filter bag.

5) I might have missed it but what type of sprayers are you using?

EZ-Clone sprayers

You really should take the time to read the thread bro. There is a lot of good info. For example all of your questions have been asked multiple times by others.

Don't forget , all the plans, photos and instructions are on page 75 of this thread.

Good luck bro!

Thank you. Do those spots seem like PH was the culprit? I'm havin' the toughest time with this Milwaukee meter. I tested the water at noon, 5.8. Five hours later, 6.3 same room temp., humidity, etc. I recalibrated the meter, it was off .5. Added nutes, adjusted the ph to 5.8, moved the lights up to 12".
I'm including some more pics of the spots. Would u mind looking at the root pics to see if everything looks in order as well?

Stink, I hope there is a special place in heaven for you and everyone who pitches in. Nobody has to respond and someone always does. I will certainly roll it forward when I have the chance. Many thanks,

Relax bro! You are starting to sound like Dirthawker on his first grow! ;-)

Everyone worries about their clones at first. Like I've said before...if you follow my directions exactly, you will have clones coming out your ass before long!

I kan grow up to 96plants, im a first time grower and im wondering which strands i should grow, and wht type of setup would be good with me to grow with, PLZ help!!!

Saladsmokin · Apr 8, 2009

Use the Stink Bud System. If ur dedicated to doin wat u do then read the thread. i think the startin instructions are on pg 75... but yea u can grow 96.. but how many can u flower? then jus split that in 3 or w.e systems ur using for the harvest every 3 week perpetual harvest. u cant get to flowering the plants without the cloner or vegger.... make those first then start ur flowerin room.. ITS WORTH READING

I know how you feel. It took me over 3 weeks to finally read this whole thread. It was some work. I think in the time it took me to read this, it added 100 or so more pages. Hell if your gone a couple of days this thread will add 10 more pages on you quick. Once you get to the end it's not too hard to keep up with. :bigjoint:

Yea, it's getting crazy! It's like the biggest thread in history! You know what's ironic? When I first started this thread, I didn't think anyone would be interested. :dunce:

The good news is eventually you will get to the end with a lot of good info in your brain. You will have a million questions as you go along and most of them have already been asked.

You will also get to read about all the mistakes we make along the way :bigjoint:

I got sick of the frozen water bottle routine. I am in a tent with Co2 and with ambient air at 86 degrees the water bottle routine became stressful. I now have a Pacific Coast 1/13th HP Chiller for one 10 gallon rez (i believe it could handle an 18 gallon too). It was $312 but it makes for much better sleep. Rez is set at 67 and never goes above 68 or below 66.

i took apart one of thoes small refridgerators so it was just the guts. you know the small cooling plate that builds up frost, i have that sitting in my rez with the thermostat, water stays at 66* all day.

Is my OCD showin' again? lol :mrgreen:

I'm going to switch the light to 18/6 starting at midnight tonight. I know it's probably too early, but when should I get rid of the damaged leaves? Is the plant wasting it's energy on them? I was going to cut them off with an exacto knife dipped in rubbing alcohol.

Thanks Lionsroor, Andyman, bigtimerooferr and of course, Stink

brein · Apr 8, 2009

so I've built the cloner and the veg unit. I'm two days in on the cloner. I'm buying everything as I go so I won't have to drop a ton of cheese on this all at once.

I'm looking for suggestions as to what to buy next. I already have the materials for a flowering unit. Can anyone tell me what is required to actually take the plants in to flowering? I can spend $500 a month at a time.

g33k · Apr 8, 2009

quick question about your awesome flowering setup: i noticed in your explaination of your cloner and veg unit, you were very conscience of the space that your roots will have, but in your flowering unit, are the roots all jammed up in the 4x4 space of the fence post? thanks!!

HAT TRICK STEVE · Apr 8, 2009

Now you have to factor in the fact that different strains are a mixture of Indica and Sativa. Then take into account that each strain takes a different amount of time to finish and you can have your hands full in no time.

So it's a personal thing, not an exact science. You choose what you like best. There is no exact day you can harvest but the time when you harvest effects the final high of the bud.

For me it works out like this. I like two main types of medicine.

if you dont mind me asking what strains do you most commonly use and if you have a reputibal seed source, i;d like to know who it is,... thnks

Veilside420 · Apr 8, 2009

Sooo I just got back from Lowes and I bought everything I will need to make one of the flowering dealyosss!!!

All together minus the pump I spent 84.97 and thats including the pipe cement..... So the next two should cost a few bucks less!

Picasso345 · Apr 8, 2009

I bet everyone knows, but I'm sure we have some first time PVC users here as well and I'd hate to think of all that pipe being cut with a saw. Home Depot, et al sell PVC cutters that work great....I suspect they would take a finger off without blinking too, so be careful, but they are very cheap - $10-$20 and they make life so easy.
