Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[LionsRoor]

True story...

I posted the exact same plans, photos and instructions on a local NW growing site. Everyone immediately started bashing it and saying stuff like "I harvest 2 pounds every 2 weeks so you must suck".

I was just thinking...is there a quantitative yield measurement out there that's standard among growers? For example, something that takes into account time allotted for veg/flower, total grow space...basically, a measurement that considers all grow variables?

What about yield per cubic foot of grow space per week?

So, in your case, StinkBuddy, if you consider the total space of your Veg and Flower area (was it 2x3x9 closet for cloner and veg and 8x7x9 for flower?), you would have a total of 558 cu/ft Total Grow Space.

16 oz per 3 weeks is 5.33 oz per week yield.

558 cu/ft divided by 5.33 oz per week = 105 cu/ft (for an oz each week)

So, this could be a grower's Yield Efficiency Rating (YER)....yours would be 105. The lower the number, the better you are.

Then, when someone says "i get 2# per 2 weeks", you can derive a true apples-to-apples comparison if you knew their YER.

The next question would be that of Power Efficiency and ROI per..........dude, this is fascinating stuff.

What system is currently used to measure efficiency in these areas??

I love it - your grower's handicap! Stink's a 105 - damn - how high does the scale go! I don't think I'm ready to figure my YER yet!

I think I goofed... I got the HI 981404N which seems to be PH & PPM only

I'll probably just leave this meter on the cloner, then get something else for the veg unit. I like being able to leave the probes submerged anyway. Do you have a suggestion for a new meter?

I was also wrong about the length of my roots... Some of them are in the freaking water... Gotta move them today

That meter is nice! Use it until you can't... again, you may max out before you even hit 1990 PPM (My OG is burning at 1700) I was interested in something just like that - the constant monitoring is cool.

I also use Hanna - the multi probe model HI9813-6... when I got into growing, my mentor at the time insisted I get this meter... but tech has come a long way since then. I am not sure what is best these days.

Yeah - keep on top of the Stink system... I can tell you firsthand - I lagged moving my first two batches to each stage and I am paying for it now! The Stink system works too well! haha I have plants 10 days into flower that are over 3 feet tall. Light, space, etc will all be an issue for me.

What risk are you referring to? # of plants that hit different legal thresholds?

I haven't researched sogs yet

Ya most people probably don't wanna go over 99 plants in there house depending on local laws. Could be a federal offense = many years in the slammah!

I've seen all 3 seemorebuds dvd's. His first dvd follows a SOG grow where the farmer makes 3 6x4 ft tents in a normal sized room. Tent #1 got 4.6 pounds, tent #2 got 6 pounds, tent #3 got 5.5 pounds. It shows you the power of taking 100's of clones and LITERALLY cramming them into a aeroponic system where they have to be thinned out during flowering. I'm sure by your YER formula that grow method would be tough to beat.

WIth that said..crammed Sogs are great for yields but you won't see me do one. I don't want to become some weed barron, I already have a good career. I just would like a lil personal smoke for me a some of my close buds. This is where the Stinkbud system is great. You get great yields from fewer plants and they're grown with super quality!

 

[dagobaker]

everyone needs to take stinks formula and make it work for them........its all about adapting

I was interested in something just like that - the constant monitoring is cool.

So if I went with the Hanna HI-991404 and did the EC conversion I could still have constant monitoring? The PPM still only goes to 2000, but the EC goes to 3999...

Possible?

congrats on the hight times article stink. very nice, as one would expect.

I had been looking everywhere for something to plug up an empty hole in the cloners or veg units besides using a neoprene collar at $.50 each.

Found these disposable condiment cups online...

5 bucks for 250 of them, but the shipping tacks on another 10 dollars. Look around maybe you can find them local...or maybe snatch some from your local fast food place.

1 3/4 inches tapers up to 2 1/2 inches.

Ok...now I've contributed something to the cause

How many OZ each plant following stinkbuds??

is it at least 4?

 

[Delusional]

Did you read any of the thread?

"Harvest a pound every three weeks"

Lets do some math shall we?

14 plants per flowering table harvested every three weeks. 16 ounces in a pound.

16 ounces divided by 14 plants is 1.75 ounces per plant.

The general idea of stinkbuds system is to obtain a perpetual 1lb harvest every three weeks. I'm sure if you used bigger net pots & vegged much longer you could pull more but then you're defeating the entire purpose. I don't see the point honestly.

 

[NewHiddenGrower]

im starting off with 15 plants, its 15 female seeds so im only gonna get around 1.75 oz each for them?

 

[Delusional]

I am assuming if you're using this system exactly as specified, yes, about that. have to remember, all of this is being done in 2" net pots.... read the thread, I know its long, but it is informative.

yea i read most of it, but somewhere it says plants could go up to 4oz i dont remember who said it i read it awhile back

 

[Delusional]

I'm sure its very possible. I doubt you will see a 4oz average per plant though. That would be three and a half pounds every three weeks. I would imagine you would have to completely redesign the system. Larger rails, larger net pots, longer veg periods, larger reservoirs, much more lighting.....etc. etc.

You would run into all sorts of problems. The extra root growth alone combined with the larger net-pots leaving less room inside the rails would be a battle in itself. A completely different beast.....

You're vegging for three weeks if you're following this system so I don't see pulling down quarter pound plants. I think a plant yielding a dry quarter pounds in this system would easily block the rails and possibly starve/kill neighboring plants. I could be wrong. If so someone please feel free to correct me, I would not want to offer false information.

This STILL has not gotten a sticky?

nice find SoCalMMJ,
been looking for something like this, i think you meant $0.05 each

i had something chewing on my plants so i went out and got some neem oil and sprayed em... 24hrs later i go in to check on em and they look like this.. curled up leaves.. no nute burn whatsoever. they still look healthy just wondering if the neem oil made them get like this? any clue anyone? thanks

My last harvest was 27oz. Right now I'm running 12 plants per unit vs. 14. (it's a legal thing). My biggest harvest from one plant has been 3oz.

I'm looking at 2-3oz per plant this next harvest. (except for the Diesel). So it looks like the next harvest will be at least 24oz. of the dankest bud you could ever imagine.

Right now I'm growing Purple Silver, Blueberry, Goo, Snowbud and NYC Diesel.

My next harvest will be even bigger. I'm running this strain called Goo that's a freak of nature. The colas are the size of my arm! Even the side buds are huge. Everything is covered in crystals, even the fan leaves! It smells just like grape juice.

Pot genetics is a lot like human genetics. Every strain is a little different. Within each strain you will also find different phenotypes. If you grew out a hundred seeds you would find a few plants that are stronger and healthier than the rest.

Out of those plants maybe one would have everything, taste, smell, high, etc...

There is only one Michael Jordan and there is only one Goo...

Imagine if you could clone a basketball team full of Michael Jordans.

Too much Neem oil bro! It only takes a teaspoon per quart of water and a light spraying. Spray during lights off.

What I would do now is spray them with plain water a few times a day to rinse off some of the oil. They will eventually come back.

I did the same thing the first time I used Neem oil! More is not better when it comes to Neem oil.

well that would make sense... thanks for the quick reply bro!

hey stinkbuddies, dont try and work #'s when your high! this will happen

 

[StinkBud]

Started my flush this morning. Thought I'd pop off a few shots to show you how it's going.

I have two strains that smell like grapes. When you walk into my flower room it smells like someone is soaking blueberries in grape juice!

Enjoy the photos...
