check your local hardware store, if they dont have them do a search for fencing companys in your area. Most fencing companys carry pvc fencing and they will even cut to size.

its a great idea,
maybe you can tailor it to fit a small tent size,
something like the DR150 maybe
this will make it even easier for new MMJ patients

Ive been lookin into this cause you can get them led in 12vdc and bilge pumps like you said. the timer is the only tricky part. Ive been lookin into making a 12vdc timer also. if you find a repeat recycle timer in 12dc let me know. peace

I plan on running mine fence post 7-8' depending on how much room I leave to be able to walk down the edge to do maintance.I couldn't find any references in this monster of a thread, but has anyone done longer fence runs than 48"? I have some coming that are 72" long that I was going to cut down to size. I'm thinking that the longer runs will accommodate 10 or 11 plants per fence run, thus 20-22 plants per harvest. My flowering space will be about 8'x8', so I would physically have the space for the 6' fence runs and reservoirs, I think. Any input?
BTW, awesome job with putting together this amazing system and sharing the information with the rest of us. I can forsee putting this to some very good use in the near and far future.
Soon as warm weather breaks I can finish my flower room to do it. I will post pics then
One of the rule series has a built in recycle timer. I just am not sure of the timing of the cycle, or if it is alterable. I will find out today and let you know.
If I am not mistaken anyone with a MJ med card can deduct 30%of the system cost from their fed income taxes, and depending on the state another 35% from the state income tax form if the unit is green. dsire.com has a calculator that does a state by state breakdown. Ain't that great, getting the gov. to underwrite mj production, I love seeing "my tax dollars at work" and, at least, this is a bridge to somewhere.

I read that article. Very good by HT standards. Sometimes it seems that they only publish the real basic newb stuff, but this had some good details. I learned a few new things and they had lots of informative spectrum diagrams too. Nothing earth shattering, just a good overview of where LEDs are now.
I don't know when it originally ran, but I read about it in the 2009 Master Growers Guide I got a couple months ago. It seems to be a collection of the best articles from the past year. Mine says Display until April 6, 2009 so it might still be out there - Barnes & Noble.

That looks perfect bro! I bet your room is a lot cooler now.
I've been running my room at 88 degrees lately. That causes the plants to transpire a lot of water into the air.
It's super wet outside so I have to run my dehumidifier full time during lights on. In fact it's even running during lights out now because it's so humid.
You are going to trip over how fast your plants will grow with the CO2. Everything will be bigger. Even the leafs will end up huge!
On another subject...It snowed 22" of light fluffy powder on the mountain yesterday. It's snowed over 4ft. in the last 3 days!
I'm drinking my coffee and doing bong hits right now. Guess where I'm going when I'm done?
First tracks on untouched powder fields with 4ft. of fresh. I'm so fucking excited I just have to tell someone!

It could be a couple of issues...
What are you running your PPM at? It dosen't look like nute burn to me.
It looks more like a heat issue.
Leaves curling up mean that your room is too hot. The leafs are transpiring too much water and can keep up.
Leaves curling down like a claw means your nutes are too hot. First you see tip burn and then the leaves start to curl down.
One more thing...leaves get old and die. I fill an entire grocery bag with dead leaves every month. Once a week I go in and pick off all the old dead and dying leafs.
You want to keep your eye on the new growth. That's how you tell how things are going. If the new growth looks healthy then don't worry about the old timers.
Some strains have completely different nutrient requirements than all the rest. As I've said before some of my strains can handle over 3000 PPM and some show tip burn at 1700.
That one strain may actually need 3000 PPM to do well. But then again it may like 1500. It takes a while to dial in a strain. If you run multiple strains you may never get it right.
Just like a politician, you can't please all the plants, all the time.

Hey StinkBud,
I wish I was going boardin'!
I know you run a co2 controller. Is there anyway without a test kit to get an approximate co2 ppm? I am using a welding regulator and I think I am dumping too much. I have only 96 sq. feet to fill and the regulator is barely cracked. I am cycling on every 3 hours of light. Any ideas? Anyone know of a really cheap co2 controller?

Remember guys. Each strain is like a different race of people. Just like us, plants have been bred to handle a wide variety of conditions. People from Africa can handle the heat a lot better than people from Alaska.
Same with nutrient requirements. My last AK47 (Sativa Pheno) always has dying leaves! WTF? She's never happy. Now that I think about it she's always been a little bitch! That's why she's history...
As much as I love Sativa strains they just don't work well indoors.
Did you ever notice all those little divets on your expensive German aluminium reflector? Guess what they do?
If the inside was polished you would have just one light source being reflected. Those little bumps turn a single light source into thousands and help diffuse the light.
I used to have perfect new mylar all over my walls. One of the wall got ruined and I replaced it with some mylar space blanket I had laying around.
Damn if the space blanket didn't work as well if not better than the roll mylar.
Eventually I replaced all the mylar with space blankets and now I have a "million points of light".

It sounds like an excellent project, Stink. I think there are probably a LOT more people who have less space and could never implement the full sized version, but would benefit perfectly from a StinkBud Jr. system. Looking forward to seeing the "Little Stinker".

hey stink
the stinkbud jr. system is a great ideal i think you should run with it
and you should have your own web site

Thanks stink....have a kick ass time on the MTN bro!!
Now that i sealed and cooled the lights,,,, my room doesnt get above 81, i was hoping to run it at around 86..if i get a fan speed controller will that help me dial in the warmer temp?
The Rule with the built in won't work. It turns itself on every two and a half minutes for one second unless it senses resistance, (water in the bilge) and if no resistance is felt it shuts off immediately.
It's a chip so you can't screw with the timing.

Thanks for the input Stink, Dirt and Picasso!
I'm hoping it is a combo of strain specific issues, heat issues and respiration issues.. Heat is fixed. Will get some more fans for even better circulation.

I think it's fine like Stink says. Did you also notice how oxidized my mylar is? Pathetic! One little Cap Ozone JR effectively oxidized the whole room. I will be replacing with wallmart security blankets when I can find them

I am waiting to get one now for a different project and it is almost $50 but would last forever and will work as long as it has input power and completely adjustable. What do you think?
