Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Im going to see if we can get a stinkbud sub forum... that way we could build threads under the sub forum and make things easier to find or discuss. A 7000 post thread, while awesome in stature, is really not very efficient.

Anybody have an issue with this ?

Great Idea to be honest. This way we could have FAQ's So as new people come along and ask for help it make it much easier then saying page 75 lol. .

Great Idea!!!

Now here is a nice solution to ripping apart a mini fridge.. Much cleaner.. I was thinking of making one last night but for the price... Might as well just buy one.. I am using the smaller res though.. :)

$100 bucks.. :)

I was considering these to keep res temps down. The issue that was keeping me from going forward on this was the large hole through the reservoir required to mount it.

If we can get a tight seal on a thin walled rubbermaid then it might work out nicely.

I looked at the manufactures web site too... Not sure if the drop in temps on 15 gallons would be more than 5-6 degrees. But that would be enough for me.

Typical Temperature Pulldown (°F)
Chillers=1
10gal 20gal 40gal
6-8ºF 3-4ºF 1-2ºF

Maybe mounting high on the reservoir would minimize leakage if one were to happen.

More info is on this page regarding these chillers:

If you do it be sure to post an update !!
 
STINK, what was YOUR total cost for all equip/materials? (minus contruction tools/time) that would be VERY hellpful in the setup guide. thanks. i'm sure it'll take quite some time for all that adding and multiplying lol.
 
i have only 1 clone 1 veg and 1 flower set up now and i use the same cycle timer for clone and veg. Can i use 1 for all three flowers or run each independently.
 
you can run them off the same timer but I wouldnt run more than 3 pumps per timer, unless its a heavy duty timer. Just run an extention cord from your timer to the flower room so there not in the same light hr's (veg, clone, 18-6 vs flower 12-12)
 
Hi all, I am in Western Montana and our climate is considered "high mountain desert", so needless to say our humidity is LOW. I put a hygrometer in my veg room 3 days ago and let it acclimate and it is reading 12% humidity. ObviouslyI am using SB system, or I wouldn't be posting here :-)

I have been having some rust spots on my plants, some thing calcium def. could be mag. def. causing cal. def.

I just read somewhere on the w3 about excessively low humidity causing the foliage to use their nutrients faster then they should causing a mag. def. that can lead to cal. def.

Does that jive to you all? Should i go out tomorrow and get a humidifier, I think that since all the water/moisture is sealed for the most part with the SB systems, there is no moisture saturation occurring from the reservoirs in the veg & clone or bloom room so that isnt helping my moisture levels at all.

Anyone?

Thanks!
 
It costs 60$ for a cloner
costs 85$ for a veg unit
costs 100$ for a veg unit using tough boxes ie bigger
costs 90$ for flowering unit

what the hell is this guy talking about
?
i have a perpetual grow going
i normally harvest only 1 system at a time unless they finish at the same time and then i add 2
my 22 oz was from 1/2 of the 600 hps light
OK?>>>>>>>>>>>::LLL>>????????????
the one i took the pic of was started at the same time and is doing amazingly well
i would think that if all goes well the massive buds ill get COULD be 40 oz total or 20 oz off of each unit ok?
do i need to explain myself more?
i range from 12.5 to 22 oz so i dont have it tweaked quite yet......once i get the genetics worked out (like stink buds...he was getting 16 and then after picking his best strains he got 27)
if i can get 20 oz or more off of a 1/2 of a 600 hps or 300 used hps how can i do any better?......ive grown dwc and its not as good as this system
i harvested 8 plants using half my 4 x 4 area so thats 300 watts and yielded 22oz or just under 3 oz per plant
i got 2.06 grams per watt......and didnt have to mess with any medium at all
just test the unit every 3 days after adding more phed water and adjust with the stinkbud botanicare coctail..very easy btw and smells great

You go Dago.
Lot of pests come in dirt. and I guess in threads too. LOL

Holy Crap, I though we were dry here at 25%...

Jorge Cervantes and others point to a much higher humidity requirement for veg and especially clone. Recommendation is from 60% to 90% I think. I can look it up if you need, but the requirement is much higher than what you are running.

I run 2 veg units and 1 clone unit in a 4x4x6 tent, also in a very dry locale. I got a $35 dollar humidifier at the drug store and run it 24/7 into the veg/clone area. That keeps the RH somewhere between 65% and 85% depending on ambient conditions.

To regulate the volume of humidity coming out of the thing, I McGivered the output into a piece of 1/2" PVC with a valve to increase or decrease the output.

I can take and post a pic if you would like.

Hope that helps...

Please do post a pic, I would appreciate it greatly!

PS - When we moved to MT 5 years ago, it took my body 2 years of cracked fingers, bloody noses, etc, before I acclimated to the dryness. I still get cracked hands easily if I work outside, especially if working wtih wood, it just sucks the moisture right out of my hands it is so dry.

THANKS AGAIN!
 
my bddy has had the system going on for a while now the buds are huge, sweet island skunk useing stinks feeding regimin, i dont think the problem lies in his plants or genetics or feeding im curious as to if any of you or even stink, have you had sprayers get clogged by roots growing around them or is there somthin else goin on here, all the plants were looking great, now all of a sudden the are two of them that are acting like they were grown in soil an they havent been watered. you know all leaves hanging down lifless heavy buds are now falling over instead of standing up like they were, all of the other plants look gr8. i looked it the posts for him an the sprayers were working, massive root systems so i belived they are blocking sprayers or somthing anyone else ever have this? oh the only thing different than stinks is i put some bloombastic in there but they seemd to love it. sorry for the long post but i feel i need to add this info 3 systems 3 600 watters ppm in system screwing up is 1280 ph 5.9 temps 88-89 day 60-65 an night no co2 but its well vented. oh an another difference is im using the 31 gal. res. any help is appreciated greatly thanx.
 
ok found it Page 602 STINK YOU post about "even I have problems" Did you ever figure out wat the deal was? That is the exact problem an they are threatening 5 more monsters I guess, if i cut em flush an rerun with hygrozyme i should be str8 right? oh yea im using tap water that comes out at 281ppm is this bad? I havent been adding the cal mag cuz i read that i shouldnt if my tapwater is bad, should i invest in the 300 dollar machine i seen on the net? or can i keep running tap water? thanx for everything if i need to post pix i can.

From what I under stand anything over 200PPM is bad. $300 is awful high for an RO try this link. They have 100 gals for $170.

Good Luck. :peace:

I did that for a while, it worked fine, but I think it improved when I switched to the 1 on 6 off im runnin now

Never once did I clog a sprayer or have a plant just total die in sticks system. Its really hard and rare for a sprayer to get clogged. It root would have to grow into the hole inorder to really clog it. If roots surround it then its fine. Also remember that the water drains down the post so its getting water must be something else.

My ppm on my tap is 131, some of the best in the country. I add everything that stink has said to use. Looking into the bushmaster with this system. Anyone use it yet?

When you have really low humidity the plants go through more water and end up slowing the growth down. Get a cool humidifier one use for kids this will help keep temps down along with giving your your humidity that you need. Trying running it on a timer say 15/15min until you get to about 50%. When you start having more plants the RH in the room will raise along with the house RH too
