I have a 4'x4' room as well and I had to take off 8 1/2 inches off the total length to make it fit. instead of draining in the front of the rez it drains to the back. So I did not have to lose any room on the post itself. Gotta love Space Management!!

cool so were you able to get two systems in that space ? .....i actually got like 5x5 ft to work with so maybe i wont have to adjust plans ?

You could run 2 systems with room to get in and work around a little bit. But you could scrog 3 units in a 4x4 with some practice. I'm just using two units to work the bugs out with the growing environment I'm working with. (basement)

I finally got my hands on the June edition of HT. Great article Stink. But then again, I wouldn't expect anything different from you. Great exposure for THE MAN........I knew all of that from your thread, so you can tell HT that you boost their sells. You are the only reason I bought the mag. Thank again for all you have given us.....

hello everyone!
pass that :joint: over here and welcome me to thread
damn this is long, i'm only a little over half way through it, but anyway...

sorry to bring something up from back in feb (thats as far as i've read so far)
but i saw a pic from dirthawker and thought i'd throw a little twist onto it

i have a pic of it below and that net really looks like a hassle.

here's an idea that will save you from messing with it during harvest time
and will stop it from being a recurring cost every grow

drill holes where i have the red dots and add PVC where i have the green
then run wooden dowel rods through the holes

so they don't slide out if you bump them
leave the dowel rods long enough to stick out of each side an inch
buy some nuts that are the wing nut type to thread onto them

i have included a pic of wooden dowels incase anyone doesn't know what they are
any lumber yard, ace, lowes, menards, ect. will have them

Welcome to the thread!

Interesting idea... many ways to do it. I just picked up a magazine that had DIY trellis article.

And yet another option... I used 4 posts on the corners, drilled holes and used zip ties to stretch the corners of Botanicare net-trellis like a trampoline. Too easy!

I cant remember where i read it, but someone updated stinks measurements. He said should add on 1" , but i cant remember what two sections needed to be changed & if the measurements true. Anyone that has built on can pls help with this, also i have pics on my page, want to know if i can use this type of light fixture. looks like the light in your high school gym..lol

nice res you have there
hows the light coverage on top of it
i'm thinking it would not be too hard to "adjust" the plumbing inside of it
sorta stinkbud cloner/veger style
could add few plants to your cycle
nice lil bump to your yield ;)

takin my ass back to post 4000, that's as far as i've got so far

Yeah, Laundry - post 4000!

It's hard to tell from the pic, but the 600 watt light coverage is not adequate to properly cover the area over the res too. I am into maximum yield so I appreciate all input, thanks! On that note, I do have 3 or 4 key things I will implement to increase my subsequent Stink harvests. I'm about 4 weeks away from harvesting my first 2 batches. I will use that as a benchmark and go from there!

FYI - the res is the 25 gallon version, Botanicare uses for their TurboGarden series.

Reading this thread is kind of like reading a book, but you know the ending already - but you love the ending and reading the middle just makes the book even better.

This is one of the clones I got recently. It doesn't look happy today. PH 5.9, PPM 640.

My UK Cheese are going and happy, the other clones I got at the same time look pretty good. When I got them, they had some yellow/burnt leaves. The new growth since I've had them looks good.

Is BBBK a sensitive strain? should I set up a separate cloner for it? I hate to lose her. What should I do?

Just give it some time and it will come back around. Looks a little sad but the color looks good

before and after pics below.. it looked look like this for me until i put it into veg.. as long as the roots are growing your ok. if it looks like this when you put in veg give it a week or two it will come back.. and then just go crazy.

I have been freaking out the last couple of days over the amount of bucks I have channeled into this project(about $1100 and counting). I had started asking myself, what the fuck are you doing. Then I went and checked the cuttings I put in the cloner 5 days ago and saw the first little roots starting to pop out. NOW, I am freaking out over how glad I am I found this thread and have quit trying growing in dirt. That first little sign of progress is sure a moral builder.
