Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[sky rocket]

The only way I germinate and veg my seeds or clones. The stinkbud way... Super lemon haze in the back and purple project in the front......1 minute on 5 minutes off. If I start from seeds paper towel method then I use rapid rooters. All of these I started from seed. 100% germination rate.

I'm looking to re-purpose this setup to try growing other plants in larger numbers so ~$20 per 8ft post is too expensive and too short.

Is it possible to use round pvc piping? I'm concerned with sprayers making a mess around the netpots as they don't sit flat.

Think of it as an investment. $20 for 8' of fence post, you still get off super cheap compared to if you were to buy a plug-and-play system. Plus, building your own system gives you experience, and with that you'll be able to troubleshoot your system that much easier, should something go wrong, that you wouldn't otherwise have.

Think of what the guy spending $20 per fence post, and using it for fence post, feels like.

Hah. Yeah I definitely wouldn't use it for fence.

The stuff I'm looking to grow isn't worth near as much. I made a vertical shallow water culture setup for a prototype but I'm just not very happy with the results.

I'm going to attempt making this as a vertical system when I can get the money together. Four foot wide and four or five tall.

Get creative with it, they make elbows, 3 way extensions, just about everything you can think of. It like adult Legos. Remember though KISS keep it super simple. I used a few elbows and tube extensions on my set up, and where I didn't glue I have super tiny leak( so small it evaporates pretty quick) plus net pots sit in fence post better than round tubes, but the tube has been working great thus far.

 

[Voidling]

Yeah and square fence posts don't want to roll around on you.

My debate is with going with pvc or making something like this with food grade fiberglass resin since I'm going sog style greens and herbs

With food grade materials.

Wow that's almost looks "sexy" to me!

Is that a stink areo setup? Also, you're using PVC for all your piping is it still food safe? I've been itching to use copper pipe for something..again it's kinda sexy

It's using hpa pumps, accumulators, and nozzles but figure it'd be replaced with stinks pump and nozzles

I assume so. Pvc is used to deliver cold water to the house, cpvc can be used with cold or hot water. There is an aquaponic farm using pvc that is organic certified. I'm going to an aquaponic farm for an event tomorrow to take a look at their setup.

 

[joespit]

Cool, I just remember half reading something on here that PVC can leech toxins but like I said I half read it somewhere

 

[Voidling]

Yeah it leaches some stuff. Keeping water temps down reduces it. I just don't know a good alternative, especially since copper can't be used with fish for aquaponics

Aw it can't, damn.. I was gonna make a steam punk stink budder

 

[Voidling]

it might be ok using synthetic nutrients or maybe organic nute bottles, I don't know. I'm ruining an aquaponics test so I can't use it, that's all I know about it.

Yeah I did a lil research (googleing) and with acidic water it just tears apart the copper. PVC seems to be the best we can get thusly.... Until we start 3d printing our parts!

 

[Voidling]

It didn't give me a notification of your reply.

I've finally caved into the urge and am starting at a pile of 1x2 I have on hand.

Going to make one small box to fit a single 27 gallon strong box plus a couple inches all the way around. Likely go with a couple cfl or small led. I don't need to grow much as it's just personal use, I still have mason jars from my last tiny run which was at least a year ago I'd think. I'm addicted to growing the plant, I barely smoke any. One hit light weight here.

Anyway. I have 4 brainstorm and 1 Orange bud in coco I'm trying to germinate. First cuttings go to the cloner. Once they root I'll grow the coco plants in my old wicking bed cab to sex them. It's tiny so these sativas will be a challenge.

Cull out the males, clone the females. Build, borrow, or buy a cab/tent and put in one of sb's aero rails.

In the future I figure it'd be easy to modify and do half the rails low pressure aero like sb, and half the rails high pressure and have side by side results out of pure curiosity on my part.

If one uses round pvc instead of square, how do you keep them from rotating? My home depot didn't have it in store

I'm thinking of using the 15 gallon to reduce space needed. Since I need less plants, any reason not to use the 15?

Obviously everyone knows it's going to be legal to grow pot in Oregon this July. Of course there had been medical marijuana around for awhile but this is the first time anyone can legally grow weed for themselves without having to have a card. From what I understand everyone will be able to grow 4 plants.

I'm designing a 4-plant unit right now. I should easily be able to pull a pound from one rack if I train the plants. It's not a big deal to get 1/4 lb plants. In fact you can double that if you train the fuck out of the plants and put in another veg stage. I did an experiment where I used just two plants, one in each rail. 5" fence posts and 3" pots. I kept bending and training the plants until the completely filled the entire rack. Then I put them into flower. BAM! Fuck yea!

Another great option will be to run 4-StinkBud Singles. Three in flower and one in veg. With enough light you can grow enormous plants. Soon anyone in Oregon will be able to supply themselves with all the bud they could ever smoke.

I imagine we will see a lot of outdoor growers too. The climate is perfect for growing as long as you pick a fast finishing strain. The rain comes early up here! I can just see all these old school farmers growing 8 lb. plants. Oregon is mostly made up of hipsters, hippies and farmers. Combine all three and you end up with some pretty good weed!

I made a small StinkBud Rail system using left over fence post and a small 17 gallon res. It worked great!

A small StinkBud rail system under a 400W lamp would be a great choice for someone that just wants to grow their own stash. Not everyone wants to be a weed baron. I know lots of people that just want a nice selection of high quality bud. A small light is very inexpensive to run and you will be amazed at the quality of herb it will produce.

thats impressive. is that your set up?

Unfortunately no, it's from this thread

But I'm thinking of using sprayers like sb under a raft like that for lettuce.

 

[a mongo frog]

Hippy lettuce or real lettuce?

Thanks sb. I wish I could become a baron but until it legalized here there's no chance. Maybe not even then, and have to wait till the feds legalize it. So in the mean time I'll grow other stuff and micro grows to keep in practice
