Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

That was a sweet sweet find wish I would have know about that when just starting up. Now, of course, with everything in place upgrading is easier I am looking at the Sentinel MDT-1 Lighting and Recycle timer it has a safety for the lights not allowing them to restrike for a set amount of time, recycle timer and with some nice relays it will operate my lights too. As it stands I am running a 240v 2/10 line for my lights and a cheap digital timer so my lights would just try to restrike if the power flipped on/off. The sad part is I paid 90 bucks for my IGS Recycle timer, the Sentinel MDT is about 170 and again does both, the one you listed makes so much more sense for a temporary time lol

P.S. Just so it is clear you do need a relay for your lights with that Sentinel, also that was horrible off topic from the question the one he found is a great low cost solution for your pumps and doesn't need a relay I don't believe but relays are always good.

You can also check the link in my post at the bottom of the page before this. 20 bucks, 30 w shipping, hydro specific timer. Works with 48 pins that each represent 50 seconds for a total of 40 mins. At the end of 40 min it starts over, never misses a beat. My cloner runs on one of these, 5 pins off, 1 pin on, which is 4 min 10 sec off and 50 sec on. Not exactly what the doctor ordered, but it seems to work as my first aero-clone popped roots today, 6 days in. Here's a fresh link to the sellers page:

As inexpensive solutions go, this isn't a bad one.

well i allway thought a aeroponic system used fogers or misters, but cloging them make it a waste of time in my mind..
 
sdmc in aeroponics the roots are exposed to air and it is considered Aero like air and not Hydro like water. Clogged sprayers are a real problem in a full flowering system if you actually do clog one up, if you are referring the Stinkbud Single clogged sprayers aren't the end of the world on that system. I haven't had any "problems" from clogged sprayers yet in my SR system although I had a clogged sprayer the plant that was over it was one of the largest in the system, it was a non issue.

Thanks a lot short bus! I appreciate the quick and friendly response! I'll be building one of these bad boys pretty soon but I think I'll use less spots and use 3 in. net pots. since a lb every 3 weeks is a little too much for me, I just need a quarter lb - half lb to keep me happy! Thanks for all the help and inspiration! -kick

You might be better off with the StinkBud Junior system. It uses 6 plants instead of 14. You can download the plans for free here.

You can also purchase a DVD explaining how to build the cloner and Stinkbud Jr. Here. It's on sale for 20 bucks with free shipping!

I believe that is my new up-to-date plan! That with a scrog method to get a full area of bud perfect for the footprint of my lights. I just built your cloner! works great! and was really easy to do. It has probably cost me around 60$ so far but I had to buy tools such as the cutter, hole saw, and an 11/64th bit, o and glue. Otherwise it would have been much cheaper. I still have to get the 2" net pots and neoprene inserts. My hydro store was all out when I went in an got the pump and misters. They also are VERY expensive compared to other places! It's very up setting since I know I'm getting ripped but can't do anything about it unless I want to order online and wait for it to come. Even with shipping costs, buying online is still cheaper than at my local hydro store. Well for now, net pots and neoprene get in on friday so I'll pick those up to complete the cloner. BTW I only made a 15 site cloner since I might just you it for a week or 2 of veg as well. Anyways, thanks a lot for spreading the love, I'll do my part to spread it as well! Keep on keepin on StinkBud! Life is a garden, Dig It!
 
So I've got a q on the cloner. You might have seen Stink telling me OG Kush can take a month to sprout roots in the cloner. Well, I loaded mine with the OG (all indica), Jack the Ripper (almost all sativa), and 1 Super Skunk (hybrid) a week and a half ago, and so far the Skunk has sprouted 3 inch roots and the other ones just sit there. They're healthy and perky, but hve no roots, no nubs, nada. So my questions are, who has encountered this and what strains clone easy? Would warming the cloner water help?
 
phpyEX98cAM.jpgphpJ3lDMXAM.jpgphpVknlqsAM.jpgphpHJL6uoAM.jpgHello all

I've been using the basic Stinkbud system (1 clone, 1 veg, 3 flower) for almost a year now with good results.

I'm new to growing so I'm really happy w/good results but am looking forward to better ones.

I've had a few nagging issues I need help resolving and a few questions I'm hoping to get answered.

1) my veg and cloner leak. I've tried a spongy type weather stripping and this brown weather stripping it seems they just leak more and more all the time.

2) My net pots often get a white funk/mold/mildew/ on them and often my plants girdle right at the base. I've taken to spraying this with 10%bleach solution. What are your thoughts on what this problem could be and what a great solution would be. I'm not in love with spraying my plants/net pots w/bleach.

3) Where did the stinkbuddies.com website go?

4) Stinkbud what would you recommend to me for getting my plant numbers down. I was thinking of a system using 4" net pots and having about 8 plants in my flower room instead of 42?

5) Where would be a good place to sell a full stinkbud system?

6) How often should I replace my t-5 flourescents and my 1000 watt HPS bulbs? It seems some say 3 months and some say 2 years.

Also I want to give many thanks to you for sharing so much info

Best of luck and happy trails to all!
