my local grow shop sells bug bombs that are safe for all kinds of plants and fruits and stuff, i just killed a million or two thrips with these and they kick ass. they saved my whole crop. hope this helps.Hello Stinkbuddies, Just subscribed, I have been reading from page one of this thread starting June 6th of this year. I am at page 626 today. Almost doneI was going to wait until I finished before posting, oh well.
Thank you mister StinkBud!!! You are very generous and compassionate, not to mention you know your shit. Love is the shit that makes life bloom. Thanks for all you do and being who you are. Nice slogans also. I am trying to emulate the StinkBuddie state of mind by spreadin the Love! As best as I can.
I like my cousin a lot also, would I date her? Should I date her? Just wondering, she is Hot!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, all you Stinkbuddies, you know who you are. I feel like I kind of know you all. I grew indoors under fluorescents 25 years ago. I stopped because of circumstances. I am recently acquiring my MMJ status, pain relief. I ran into StinkBud in the 1st HT I had bought in 20 years. The next day I tripped over this stinky thread. There are no coincidents.
Have my areo-clone up and running with one discarded and wilted mystery cutting from my four clones I hooked up with two days ago, BubbleGum, SSH x Heri, he forgot, and he forgot what this one was too, stoners! It looks like the small, wilted, broken off limb will clone, amazing! I will clone the others when they have grown enough in soil to take cuttings from. No longer than two weeks, I hope.
I have my aero-veg filled with sixteen seedlings, ten days old. Three flower units under construction. I will need to build another veg-unit so that the seedlings can be sexed before adding them to a flower unit.
All of my questions that I could think of and some that I couldnt have ever thought up have been answered in this thread, most of them have been asked and answered more than once. Except for one.
I have my clone and veg set-up in a temporary location while I am finishing my grow room. My room is in a basement that is populated with spiders and probably lots of food for those spiders, as in other bugs. I was thinking of using some sort of pest control before I seal off my room and finish it. Anyone have any recommendations for a good organic/natural pesticide too use in my basement, if one exists? Bug-bombs dont seem effective and might be dangerous from my limited research. Any suggestions/experiences are appreciated.
I really appreciate the expertise, vibe and willingness to help that you all have displayed while posting to this humongous thread. The Earth is a good place to live with you all, thank you all so very much, from the deepest most loving recesses of my heart.

PS, I will post pictures when they are worthy.
PPS, sorry for the long post.
Hello All,
First off, amazing info, thank you Stinkbud! I just finished building all three systems and I love the simplicity. That being said, I've been having some issues with the ph in my cloner and wondered if anyone might be able to help me out. Over the span of 18 hours, my ph rockets from 5.8 to around 10, the water turns greenish-yellow, and smells awful! I've changed out the water, flushed out the system and even changed containers but each time end up with the same result. I am using Earth Juice "down" to adjust the ph of my tap (ph 7.8 and clonex solution to around 5.8. I've been following Stinkbud's directions and adjusting the ph after I add the clonex. I can't figure it out, for the first 4-5 hours the ph remains stable around 5.8, but when I come back to check it in the morning, the water has turned swampy again and the ph is 10+. I haven't been able to find any recommendations from Stinkbud on this thread as far as ph adjusters are concerned so I figured I'd stay with the organic theme and try out the Earth Juice crystals. Has anyone had success with Earth Juice? Do you know what stinkbud uses for his ph? Any bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Yeah, i was just thinking about it. I was like man what a tard i am for asking those questions. Do you think it all could be in the same room? The veg and clone wont have a problem sharing the same temp with the flowering unit correct?

Buy a propane CO2 generator. I'm pretty sure you can get propane up there
The byproducts of heat and humidity from burning propane to generate your CO2 will probably be of some benefit there too.Unless you are welding your plants together, the Aargon probably isn't of much use. Not sure if it's toxic to plants or humans since it's an inert gas, but it will disburse additional O2 while trying to get your CO2 up to the 1500ppm. Not sure I'd try that..

I have the earth juice crystals and used them once... It was really hard to adjust my PH with this product. I went to their web site... Which wasn't much help. I decided to use another liquid product.
I have used lemon juice to naturally bring down the PH... Having a few lemon tree's helps!
I use RO water with a PPM of 10, and my PH is usually 6.5. After adding clonex, I usually have to add PH up.
I generally check the calibration on my meters monthly. I have meters in each rez for continous readings.
Where are you starting with your PPM & PH from your tap H2O?

so my res ran dry and i didn't catch it till the tenth hour all my plants were droopy. and the water they received that day before it ran dry was concentrated so i got burned as well. i filled up the res with five gal of r/o ph'd water then mixed ten gallons nuted and all came back in a few hours except one. during the night i thought it would rest and cool off as the fans were out for a coincidence during the time and it reached a hundred deg. this morn the one plant is still droopy three hours lights on. will it survive should i flush and change res can it take a whole day or more to bounce back? and for another question my clones havent poped yet and there 7

anyone? the one plant also smells distinctively different maybe rot somehow before the issue it was so strong ten colas evenly growing should i just junk it or is there a way to pull it and put it in care alone are the roots strangled by the neighbor maybe?so my res ran dry and i didn't catch it till the tenth hour all my plants were droopy. and the water they received that day before it ran dry was concentrated so i got burned as well. i filled up the res with five gal of r/o ph'd water then mixed ten gallons nuted and all came back in a few hours except one. during the night i thought it would rest and cool off as the fans were out for a coincidence during the time and it reached a hundred deg. this morn the one plant is still droopy three hours lights on. will it survive should i flush and change res can it take a whole day or more to bounce back? and for another question my clones havent poped yet and there 7

I've been using a 10lb CO2 tank but have to fill it every 10-12 days or so at $14 a fill. I saw an ad on CL for a Green Air propane burner for about $200 which seems like a good price. Will a burner be cheaper to run in the long term?
I'd like to run a completely sealed system so am wondering what brand of a/c should I look into getting. I've done searches for 'dual hose' units but not finding much, and a few I've found had bad reviews.

The most efficient way to produce CO2 is with a natural gas burning CO2 generator (hooked up to the gas from the house). Burning propane is more efficient than running CO2 tanks (and easier to refill). Downside, CO2 generators produce heat along with the CO2. This will increase your cooling requirements. Water cooled CO2 generators are able to run very cool - but they produce warm water that needs to be cooled or replaced. This requires additional equipment and power.
For AC's - if you can afford and have the place to install one - a split unit is best. If money was not object, I would get an AC from one of the following manufacturers:
KwikCool http://www.kwikool.com/
ExcelAir http://www.excelair.ca/stealthseries.html
If you are a regular guy and your room has a window - go to Sears and get a window unit. You can get a 1 ton Kenmore for $300.
Hey Kubla - (I will assume you are using a dark blue or black lid and there are no light leaks causing algae in your system). Barring light leaks, it sounds like there may be something 'active' in the Earth Juice. Some organic items do not work well with aeroponics.
Use liquid PH adjusters from General Hydroponics - or Advanced Nutrients. The AN is the most concentrated - perhaps too concentrated for adjusting such a small res of water - drops will do it. The GH is more diluted and may be easier to adjust without overshooting your mark.
Soap will raise your PH - be sure you are rinsing your containers thoroughly if you are using soap to clean them.
To disinfect, I like to run water with a little bleach through the cloner for about 15 minutes. Drain, rinse, fill and run with plain water for 15, rinse again and wipe down all surfaces before filling and preparing the res.
