Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Ive had good luck in my veg unit flowering. but I mod ed mine. I posted some pics a while back, it works great for small spaces. 6 holes per tote. one small 10gal res with a 14gal top/root chamber. only problem is they get so heavy with buds that it pushes the net cup into the hole if its those cheap netcups with very little lips. :joint:

I'm going 6 pots per lid with the next batch here in a week. Watching the first 2 blossom gave me an idea of adequate room for each plant all the way until the end.
:peace:

I know that Stink recommends Rapid Rooters if starting from seeds. Lets say my friend Pedro has a few 2 week old plants growing in soil...will it be ok if he just yank (very carefully remove) them from the soil and place them into the cloner or veg unit?

any input would be greatly appreciated.

Just take cuts form those plants in soil and put em in the Stink system proper!

btw...how far along in this project does one have to be, to consider himself an official Stinkbuddy?

Good question! Not sure I am an official StinkBuddy - but I feel like I am! I think it's a state of mind. Do you feel like a StinkBud?

Like Andy said, reading the whole thread is a good place to start if you are at all in doubt of your StinkBuddy status!
 
Stink... since you started vegging with the 24/7 light schedule whats the average amount of time they take to start to flower in the flower room? Im thinking mine take between 7-10 days.
And do you then count 9 weeks down from then? or do you just count 9 weeks from when they go in?

Ive been counting down from the time they go in myself, and it seems to work... but its always been a question to me.
 
Seeds are good for producing more plants
Make sure the strains are ibl or true breeding or cut the males or pull them carefully

It takes about 10 days to stop stretching and set flowers. My total time is still 9 weeks though because of the strains I'm running. I'm also flushing only one week so the plants have an extra week of nutes.

I don't time my harvests. I watch the plants and make my decisions based on experience. As soon as the hairs start to turn orange I start my flush. Then I watch the plants closely.

I used to use a mag glass to judge harvest times but now I can just look at the plants and I can tell where they are at.

My flower systems.
First grow week 2 flowering.
Few males but going to let them mate(seeds weigh more than buds anyways)

They look great bro!

When the males start to produce balls watch them closely. Right before they turn yellow and open up, cut off all the branches. Leave a few lower leaves to keep the roots alive.

Now take a few of the male stems and put them in a glass of water under the sink. Use a cheap fluorescent light set to 12/12. The male flowers will finish up away from the females over the next few weeks.

When the male flowers start producing pollen, start shaking the flowers over a glass plate. Now scrape the pollen together and save it in the freezer.

When you want some seeds take a small watercolor brush and paint a few buds with pollen. You will get a shitload of seeds but your main harvest will be seedless.

Not sure but All stinkbuddys should at least complete the following.

1 read the whole thread, I know its long but way worth it.

2 help with input/questions with other stinkbuddys

3 pass the love on ( the biggest part)

Now This Is just my honest opinion, Im sure stinkbud would be the MAN to ask. :peace::joint:

You know what's up andy! It's more of an attitude than anything.

If you stop to let people cross the street,
you just might be a StinkBuddy...

If you hold the door open for others,
you just might be a StinkBuddy...

If you help old ladies with their groceries,
you just might be a StinkBuddy...

If you wonder why there are laws against dating your cousin,:shock:
you just might be a StinkBuddy...wait...skip that last one.

Read something about true aeropics requiring droplet size of 30-80 micron, which apparently seems to be achievable with this product, incorporated into your design.
It looks like an awesome product: 1/4" T, sched. 40 pvc, threaded & ready for screw-in nozzle! Complete system, no drilling and super easy fix! Overall perhaps a little more pricey, but it looks like it may be well worth it, and closer than ever to ideal true aeroponics. Just wonder if the eco pump is strong enough to push it?

Anyone ever heard of these guys, or tried this? Will it really make enough of a difference?
Here is the link/page

Thanks.

You are better off with a smaller pump (less heat) and bigger holes (less plugging).

My system is more of a hybrid Aero/NFT. The roots run the entire length of the fence post and are sprayed with oxygenated water. The timer is what gives the roots the most amount of O2.

Thanks stink...yea i dont time either, but i do try and stay close to keep things smooth... for example today is the end of week 8 with my next harvest and they are still needing more time before i start a flush.
 
TO ALL STINKBUDDIES IF YOU WANT A BIGGER YIELD GET 6x6x6 PVC FENCE POST and use 3 inch net cups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, I don't think you know what you are in for. I had a hermie pollinate all the other females in my flowering crop. It was VERY VERY VERY BAD. All was good for the first 4 weeks then it started to get crazy.

The plants stopped (or at least down to a very slow crawl) producing buds and started producing seeds. A LOT of seeds. It was a ass load of seeds. :evil: I guess you get the point.

I had to put them outside to finish their flowering cycle and started a new batch. The only reason I didn't destroy them is because I need something to smoke for the next 9 weeks(until the new ones are ready).

Plants with that amount of seeds is hard to grind up and smoke. It really fuckin sucks. It's not worth it. Get the males OUT!!!!!!! Immediately!!!!!!!!!
just my .02:cry:

PS. you wont have buds with some seeds in it. You will have SEEDS with a little bit of bud around them. Thousands of seeds. No joke. You are about to ruin your crop if you don't get the males out in time.

I've been using the "Tough Tote" or also marketed as the "Strong Box".

Black bottom with bright yellow top, for my Cloner... It might work as the vegger too... I can say it works great as a Cloner.

For those of you looking for something a bit larger than the rubbermaids these boxes are on sale until 6/10/09. Normally they are about $16 ea.

Make sure you pick up some thin weather stripping and some zip ties!

:peace:
