do you have a new rescipe? Are you using sweet with just flower or veg too? and do you mean your adding 450ml sweet to the mix durring flower. Im pc chair locked rt now. lol. thanks

I've been using Sweet in my Veg and flower mix. I'm still experimenting with the dosage. I'm running 250ml in my normal veg and flower mix.

For flushing I drain and fill the res a couple of times to flush out all the existing nutes. Then I fill with water and add 450ml of Sweet to the water. PH it and you're done for the week.

I added an additional 250ml of Sweet after 4 days of flushing this time. I'm always trying different things,

I can hardly wait to try the Citrus flavor! What about a mix with the berry and citrus?

How important is it to keep night time temperatures? I noticed the night time temps in my flower room have been around 80 deg. Idealy 10-15 degrees lower then the day temps would be optimum, but running the ac to get to 70 or so during the night cycle would be costly.

thanks whysohigh and repvip
i bought a water prof milwaukee that goes up to 9999 for 52 bucks i prob. got ripp off but i need one bad its like the blind leading the blind i cant add nutirients

Hello fellow Stink buddies! This is my first post on this thread. It has taken me well over a week to read through the entire thread. I found it after reading Stink Bud's article in High Times and after reading through it getting a bit confused due to the errors that were pretty obvious. It sucks that HT didn't let you proof the article before it was published. Anyways, a job very well done Stinkbud.

I have built the cloner and veg unit so far. I have some clones I had going before I found this article (I have the digital sub but will be going out to get a hard copy soon). The strains I am running are White Widow and Northern Lights. I also have some Big Bud seeds recently purchased from AmsterdamSeedBank that I will be starting soon. Question? Has anyone else used this site and grown the 20 free seeds received with the order? No information was given about the seeds and after they arrived they don't look anything special. My guess is they are crap seeds (most likely high Sativa strains) and not worth even growing.

I usually have ordered through Attitude and agree with everyone here that the Power Skunk seeds are not worth the effort. I will be looking to add Blueberry to my strains based on all the praise throughout this thread.

Anyways, keep up the good work everyone and when I get my flowering units built I will be sure to add some Bud Porn in the future!

I got my 1000 watt HPS light in today. It should really make a difference in the five plants I have finishing in dirt. I will be glad to get rid of all the plants I had started in dirt before I found this system. I still have a few in the veg room that I will be taking clones from as soon as they are big enough. At least they were feminized seeds, so I dont have that to worry about. Then they will go to the flower room. In the mean time I have the cloner going and the veg unit is just waiting for something to be put in it. I have all the Botanicare products that Stink has said he uses, so now its just a matter of time. I love it when a plan comes together.

Hey StinkBud I'm 90% sure I'm going to have a set up based on this, and I was wondering if you think that posts were the best choice for the drain/root system. Would a big pipe had been better? Do the roots ever clog them up?

Hey there, just built my cloner per Stinks specs and the top leaks. Not where the lid meets the base but where the pots go into the holes. I used a 2' hole saw and inserted 2' pots but they leak quite a bit and make a puddle on top. Any ideas??

Teflon tape?

Funny you should say that, i thought the same thing but that stuff is so thin and gets torn up so easy. I wish these friggin pots just fit better, any other thoughts???

And it's a square pvc post not a pipe? If it is a square post I suppose you could put something under the pot where it touches the pvc to help stop leakage. Or maybe some c-clamps or something else to hold the pot down tighter.

Actually combining them would be a good idea. Some type of foam-ish material under the rim of the pot and then clamp it down. This will stop leaks and avoid damage to the pvc. Clamping it without the foam could crack the pot or pvc and cause all kinds of hell.

Actually it's the cloner, the veg unit is almost done too.. I used the 18 gal rubbermaid container (should have clarified that).. You think some electrical tape around the top of the pots would do the trick??

the cloner is not made from fence posts.. it might be your net pots.. some have a lip and some dont.. u want the ones w a lip.

They do have a lip although not a very big one. the pots seem to fit pretty snug but the water just comes right out the edges...
I can't find my damn camera or I would take a couple pics for you guys, but it sounds like you get what im saying. The help is apperciated btw...

What you can do is push in the middle of the top. This will help to bend it down. MY hydro shop switched the brand of net opts on me. They seem to fit a little loose but no water leaking. There is about half inch on the side of the net pot towards the top. This will help but you need to push your sleeves flush with the top. This will help with the leaking.

1 minute on/5 minutes off doesn't give a lot of time for water to build up on the veg/clone units.... Expecially under lights.

My units all do the same thing--you can try lowering your sprayers (if possible--not really so with the smaller rubbermaid containers) so the spray only reaches midway or the bottom of the net pots. Will have to cut an inch or two of PVC. This works with leaking lids too (though the rubbermaids don't leak very often).

The flowering units tend to leak more as the roots grow and push the net pots up a few mm's, leaving just enough room to spray out. Once the plants are transferred to flower units I tie the net pots down real well....

edit: after about a month of veg/clone I am forced to do a rough clean of the lids due to salt buildup from the leakage, which sometimes gets a little algae growing. Definitely time to clean then

Well Stink, my 20lb c02 tank hooked to my controller at 1500ppm set to 7cfm lasted one week. Im gonna see if theres any leaks in the aircooled hood ducts and try and seal around the walls to see if i can get it to last any longer.

definately worth it, the buds are much bigger and the growth is exceptional.. .
