Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Here's a link worthy of having everyone check out, who doesn't mind messing with simple electrical. Just throwing this at all of you cheap fuckers like me who also like to learn too. I'm also thinking of leaning into the whole computer controlled grow op. Anyone have any experience with the computer control aspect? I see you can buy simple relay board kits to hook to old computers, to build or already assembled. Looks easy enough. I just wonder about power outages and the computer rebooting back to it's original state. This conversation came up way back but I don't think it was covered much.

About two weeks later (maybe a little more) and all is great. I had to leave for a wedding and was gone for 8 days, get home all the clones are doing fine and have roots that are feet long.....i love this system.

Starting the 3 week veg next week and some new clones. This is truely a system that is two simple to screw up.

Cant help with original questions, however they are on clearance on hobbytron for 15$s.

I have been looking into solid state relays, I've seen 25amp relays for as little at 8$+s/h on ebay, which I believe should run a few pumps just fine. Couple that with your printer or usb ports and you should be good to go, cheaper and alot easier. Im going to be trying them if my 15 minute on/off timer doesnt work well with this system.
 
Hello all,

I am new to this site and this hobby. Stinkbud's system is the tits and definately one of the best posts on this site. Can anyone tell me where I can get exact dimensions for the PVC cuts to construct the unit?

I started my girls from seed and started my plants with basement mix and a drip system. I can see not why my growth has stunted. Yet again, another project without knowing what the hell I was doing. But, I am learning from you pros. I figured that I would just flower what I have and start a new system by taking clones prior to flowering and use Stinkbuds system and start building from there. If someone can direct me to measurements then all I need is to purchase the supplies at the Depot. I started the girls out on t8 flouresent fixtures. My 600 watt digital HID/HPS ballast with cool tube is due to be here today. I am using a 4x4x6.5 grow tent and would also like to know whether the 20lb aluminum beer tanks will work. Also, which regulator should I pickup? I do not want to make more mistakes than necessary.

page 75 my friend for the specs, but not sure if your CO2 question is covered there. I know dirthawker hemmed and hawed about what to use when he was dialing in his grow. he or lionsroor would be good people to pick brains with regarding CO2 use.

good luck buddy, would love to hear more of your grow tent experiences using this system.
 
oh, one last thing... I'm pretty sure dagobaker if i remember correctly is using some sort of co2 set-up as well. he or she would be another person to ask.

stinkbud is pretty busy these days with his personal life so any of these other folks should have solid info for ya.

thats whats great about this system you can go away for the weekend or week and come back and every thing is just bigger than you left it.

Well so long as someone is keeping an eye on them every 12 hours or so to make sure that the pumps are running correctly etc...

Here's an update of my girls at week 4 :-)

I plan on using modified version of this set up for a smaller stealth grow. I am curious if anyone have any problem with rez temps? That is my biggest concern with my stealth grow.

Thanks in Advance

Yeah, res temps are kinda a bugger. It was fine in the winter/spring months, but summer is here and you either get a water chiller (expensive) or use some Hygrozyme in ur res.

I'm going with the Hygrozyme personally, cheaper alternative.
 
Speaking of my stealth grow. I will only have room for one flowering set up. I will have 2 rows of 3 net pots. I am trying to decide if will be better to run a flowering cycle of 6 plants on the same growth cycle or 6 plants on 3 different grow cycle which we will be closer to the original. My biggest concern with the 3 different grow cycles is that I won't have any time to clean the rez tanks regularly because after the final 3 weeks I will still have 4 plants off the same rez. Plus, I am concerned the roots will get tied up.

I might just have to find a fast flowering strain, possibly slow down or over grow the veg cycle also.
 
Hey Dirt... what are your averages with that bubba kush and the SB system???? per.. plant. I know you had one at 6.5 oz. but what were the rest.

Thanks.

Anything major I should change or would I still be doing well to go step by step with the original PDF?

The original PDF (and the few errors) will still do you right though there have been some tweaks by others you may want to incorporate into a new build.

The following two are my personal favorite changes to the original plans.

Many have found better ways to attach the pump - via the 1/2" threaded outlet... there are many 1/2" threaded sections to work with.

DagoBaker came up with a clean way to handle the reverse drip off the end of the posts (cleaner and works better than a piece of neoprene and silicone). Cut a 1/4" slit in both bottom corners of the post. Bend down the flap that is created to make a nice lip for the water to run off. Thanks, Dago - just put the DagoLip on 6 posts - works great!

Why do that? Will it help with the rez temp by not having the pump in the rez? Also, How does that affect the pressure?
