amazing! What is average harvest per watt?

Not yet. A pump filter bag wouldn't be a bad idea though.
Also, I replace my sprayers with clean ones each harvest.
If you notice I have a hose adapter that allows me to connect the garden hose (male end) to my system. That way I after I drain the res I just hook up the drain end (female end) to the faucet and fill the res though the sprayers.
The extra pressure and clean water help to clean the sprayers. It also helps to flush any salt buildup. I fill my entire res that way.
Which reminds me, I still need to get a female garden hose adapter for my latest system...

That's why I refused to switch to Hydro for 14 years. The taste of soil just can't be beat. At least so I thought...
Then my mentor turned me on to hydro using organic nutrients. All the nutrients come from decomposed matter, just like soil. It's made from different types of compost tea.
They pick the finest ingredients from all over the world. Kelp from the NE coast. Humic Acid from ancient deposits in the earth. The finest guano that can be found anywhere in the world. Stuff we never dreamed of before.
This is what gives you the flavor. Not the medium the plants are growing in. All the medium does is hold the roots in place. In soil, the medium is little tiny rocks, sand, bark, moss and other stuff that contain no nutrients.
So taste is not decided by the medium but what you put in the medium.
Another factor to consider is flushing. I can leach and flush my plants with pure water. There is no way I could ever flush plants in soil as good as I can with hydro.
Flushing for two weeks makes my buds burn and taste like sweet candy.
I've been smoking for over 35 years and I can honestly say my bud is the best I've ever tasted. All my friends say the same thing.
If my hydro bud didn't taste better than my soil bud then there is no fucking way in a million years I would have stayed with hydro.
Remember, I offer a 100% money back guarantee. If after 30 days you are not completely satisfied with my plans and instructions I will return your money back to you, including shipping.

Most hydro stores carry the Botanicare line.
Shit bro, use them with your soil! You will love them.
The taste is un-fucking real dude!

The only problems I can see are heat issues. You have to run bigger pump to get the water to the top rows. Big pumps put off lots of heat. So you may need a water chiller and a pump for the chiller. Not a problem if you have the cash.
Keep the room cool enough and it may not matter though...

BRILLIANT PLANS...simply brilliant
Please allow me to echo the praise of so many on this thread before me!
StinkBud, the time you have put into the simplification and distribution of the Stinkity Stink Stank and Stunk Super Bud System deserves a Stoney award! I haven't grown a thing for 5 years, but now I'm putting the old band back together. A few initial questions for ya:
1. The guy at the local hydro shop said if I'm gonna use Botanicare or other organic nutes, then I should use RO water, as the chlorine in tap will kill most of the beneficials. Is he just trying to make a sale?
2. My first two strains I'm gonna pop are TGA's Pandoras Box, and Dr. Atomic's NL. I also have some Greenhouse Super Silver Haze on the way. Ever mess with any of these genes?
3. Even though you addressed it twice, I'm not sure I understand exactaly how your battery back-up works. Is it like some deep cycle battery jerry-rigged? Is there any model numbers or pics you could post?
Thanks again so much for the time you put in here. I will be sure to pay it forward!

welcome HBR, I asked him the same thing b4 I started my grow, ended up being I'd have to harvest a couple times to buy a few more pieces of equipment, so I ended up with the growbags untill then!!

I will have to make sure and purchase your mix there when i decide to do this.... I have the advanced nutrients line of non organic stuff... sensi a&b veg and bloom formulas... big bud.. overdrive.. and then from foxfarm company i also have chaching, Open sesami and beastie bloom
I guess if i want organic ill have to drop another 100$ in nutrients...lol...
Have you used any of those products in soil before?... I have used the advanced nutrients at about 30-50% strenght...low ppm of about 300-550 and didnt see any problems...
Big buds i can grow with just MG soil.. lol... I want some better tasting weed if i can.....
Also... I understand your comments on flushing differences in the medium... But flushing the nutrients out of soil can be done without a problem... Do you think that if I were to wash all the soil off the roots with a hose and let it sit for a couple of days while dying and drying.. I wonder... you know of anyone to dry with the roots on? any ideas of good and bad .... I guess you could try it with your aero setup pretty easy and let me know before i harvest... you think you could spare one of your plants for an experiment?

You need to keep your res temp below 72 or get ready to face the funk.
Cycle timer set to 1 minute on and 5 minutes off.
It's all in the instructions.
You would be better off coping my system exactly!

Got my timer in today and my Nutramist ultrasonic fogger for the veg unit. Trying an experiment with that. Also got an email from Nirvana telling me my seeds have been shipped. I should be sprouting beans in a week! I need to get a CO2 regulator too. I don't guess I could get one from the welding shop for that, huh?

I'm not sure because my water is unchlorinated. You can also let the water set out overnight before you use it. The chlorine in the water will dissipate into a gas.
If your water is over 200 PPM then you need an RO machine.
RO water is better for flushing too.
Super Silver Haze is some of the best pot on earth! But it's a pure Sativa strain which means you're looking at close to 12 weeks flowering!!! It would totally fuck up my 9 week harvest schedule.
The first time I smoked Silver Haze I got paranoid as fuck! It was almost too intense. Super high ceiling, the more you smoke, the higher you get. It's a creeper too. You will take a few hits and not feel much. So then you take a few more hits. And then it hits you....
I'm going to order some Haze seeds and run them in my little 6 hole unit that's in my bathroom. It's going to be my Sativa system. I'm testing it now and it's every bit as good as my big systems.
They are made for computers systems. Just plug your pumps into the battery backup and if you loose power the backup will power your pumps. The bigger backup you buy, the longer it will keep the pumps running.
You can get them at Wally's, Stapehells, Orifice Max
and about a million other places that sell computers.Do a search for "battery backup" Googhell and you should get a few million links.
Good luck bro!
