I guess its the "No words Can Describe" symptom DirtHawker is experiencing!

Nothing like partaking of a crop you nurtured through all the way, eh dirt?

OK now that i am off that rollercoaster ride i can type.

I should of tried the ak 47 last, that shit kicked my ass!!!
Total head high, and i mean high like in the clouds. I was walking around aimlesly mumbling and drooling. 3 hours later i finally calmed down enough to try the cheese.

The cheese was a very calming high, it relaxed my mind and body. As soon as the cheese took effect, i popped a dvd in and watched the movie 'No country for old men" great movie!
I got the munchies bad...i love the cheese.

Later on in the night i tried the redgrape, but since i had already sampled the others i didnt really feel any new effect.

WOW you guys are so right, there is nothing like partaking in the fruits of what youve spent so much time nurturing.

Wow, Dirt!! I had just found the post with Stink's system a few days ago, and posted a sincere thanks to him. Then earlier today I found your grow journal. I have to say it was riveting-on the edge of my seat- reading! Better than an action flick! Near the end the suspense was killing me! It's NOT that I doubted Stink's word, but it sure did my heart good and made me feel the love to see another succeed with that system. You shared so emotionally it was like being there for your "children" being born! Absolutely fantastic job....I can't wait to get started. Unfortunately I have to wait until next payday to fund all the supplies, and I have never built anything to speak of, so this should be interesting!
I hope I can write with as much passion and realism for my grow as you did! Props!

Thanks soccer mom,, This truly is such an amazing system!
This is my first indoor grow and 2nd grow ever.
Stinkbuds system will bring happiness to so many people its impossible to count.

Well I started hacking away at the beast!! my hands are sticky and my back is sore. Dude!!! holly cow!!! there is a whole garden underneath that i couldnt see until now! like mass buds i didnt even know about. So for the time being i am just gonna cut the really ripe ones and let the secret garden catch up...

Im in heaven!

I'm tickled to death for you man. I've never heard it put like soccermom said "...like being there for your "children" being born!" but it's very true and I'm damn proud of you. I'll probably have to try the AK47 (seeing as how I'm moving to AK - :-D).

Jem, plug a power strip into the top of the unit. Notice that the "on" cycle (top one) is in seconds and minutes, while the "off" cycle (bottom one) is in minutes and hours. Make sure you confuse the two. Next, I'm assuming you want the timer to work 24 hrs so put the little select switch in the middle for that. Plug the timer into an extension cord or power strip and you're ready to go. Just beware that the black knobs are easy to bump off your setting. You're only a few steps away from having a totally rocking system.

jem I hate to throw you a curve ball, but you really shouldnt plug more than 2 pumps into that timer at a time, if you run more than that you run the risk of frying your timer, if that timer is rated for 15Amps. on Stinkbuds journal a guy named andyman posted how to build a relay, which is want you want to have plugged in between your timer and your power strip that way you can safely plug in more than 2 pumps to that timer. Now saying that i know some people are getting it done by using the strip off the timer but i tried that and had 2 timers fail on me and had to get them replaced, so this is just my 2cents on having a safe grow room.

i found the fence posts they are 4 4 72 they need to be 4 4 4for stinks design what is the easiest way to cut them? offgridgrower you confused me with relay? I don't know anything about that i thought i could use one timer for all of it?

JEM.. I have been using one timer for all my pumps with no problems thus far... at some point i do plan on building a relay just for insurance.

Just cut the posts with a hack saw or something like that, it really is easy.

The colors are amazing! I would have no problem pulling those plants, they're done.

You finally made it to your first harvest. The first one is a learning experience. Now that you know what's up it gets even easier.

Sometimes it seams almost too easy.

If you think your plants grow fast now just wait until you add CO2. You should be able to outgrow me with the 4 600s.

It takes a while to develop a tolerance to the weed you will be growing. If your bud is as strong as mine it will put you down like a bad dog.

It will take another 5 weeks for you to really experience the full reward. One week to dry and another month to cure.

Wait until everyone tells you how good your buds taste. The taste will blow all your friends away.

The bud will be good as soon as it is dry but curing really smooths it out. Buds that are harsh to smoke right away will usually mellow with age. Three months is best but I've never been able to wait that long:mrgreen:.

Be sure and freeze your trimmings and leaf. Use the fresh trimmings to make bubble hash. It will end up pure goo that way.

Everyone has a buddy with iron lungs. Always talking shit about how good someone else's pot is. I love to load a huge hit with a nice big chunk of bubble on top. Shuts them up every time.

You can't post too many photos IMHO.

I started harvesting the top portion a couple days ago, ive filled 3 boxes up and i think im gonna have to make at least a couple more. The buds underneath are still not totally ready but im gonna chop the rest, done or not by the end of the week.

In the future i will be trying to get a better handle on the beasts. There is so much undergrowth when the plants get really big, i think if i would have trimmed and kept them a bit smaller it would have made for thicker top buds. Im starting the flush on my next flower system tonight..

The ganja factory is fireing on all cylinders now!!!!

first pic in box is ak47 2nd pic from top to bottom is redgrape, cheese, tangerine kush, and then ak, last pic is small ak47 test buds.

Thats the supposed AK47 in the box pic and the little nugs but I am having doubts if it really is ak 47... every picture ive seen of ak just does not look like what i have. Another reason i dont think it is real ak is, the buds were small clusters of leafy cabbage type stuff...its coated like it was dipped in suger and it sure is strong stuff...but i think my club acidently gave me something else..who knows.....my favorite is the cheese.
The cheese is a huge yielder.. i only had one cheese in there and it has mass buds.
