Some funny shit this thread "
Harvest a pound every three weeks!" I will say you can do exactly what the title says anyone can just follow the method of
THIS WEBSITE. Its the
one StinkBud bought
his Aeroponics system from (for like $800) and then realized he could make it from shit at home depot.
Here is his pic of the one he bought in action.
No need to be bitter bro. I never said I invented anything. I just posted a thread explaining how I make my grow system.
I've also explained that I had a mentor. My mentor uses the Astrogrow system and suggested I buy one too. He also used the Astogrow instructions. This was my first system I learned Hydro with. Most people that have actually have read the whole thread know this.
Yea, I paid too much for it! But you live and learn. That's why I posted this thread so others don't make the same mistakes I made (and I made them all) The knowledge that I gained from that first system was invaluble.
I really don't see anything wrong with passing on knowledge learned to other patients that need medicine. I excpect and hope that everyone here passes on all my instructions to others in need.
Please compare my Aero/NFT system with the Astrogrow system. You will find that it is quite different in every way.
BUT IT GETS WAY WAY BETTER StinkBud basically plagiarized another website aeroponic system, nutrient choice/control method & water/mister control. StinkBud was your 20 mentor
this website? This whole grow guide "gonna be feat in High Times" and its all ripped off the website you bought a system from.
Astorgrow Aeroponics Knowledge Center
The Botanicare nutrient mix is what they suggest themselves. If you do the math you can see that it is nothing special.
You will notice that the Astrogrow nutrient mix dosen't use Sweet or the veg mix at all. I also don't run their suggested PPM of 2900 either. I tried it but some of my strains just couldn't handle it. Botanicare is the shit bro!
The concept of a cycle timer has been aroung for many years. That's why there are so many made. The timer schedule is also common knowlege.
StinkBud goes on about how it has to be 1 min on 5 off for pump
CLICK HERE last paragraph. Also he has his specific organic Aeroponics Nutrients
CLICK HERE this is exactly their choice of nutrient and almost exactly following their feeding guide. Like how you can use 2900ppm without burring out the plants. StinkBud has his veg and clone units. He probably spent $300 on his first
EZ-Clone 60 before he found he could build those at home depot as well. After all his motto on the cloner is ripped of from that company Roots in 5 days with
100% success. Get guaranteed results and that is the company or brand of choice for misters huh StinkBud
EZ-CLONE SPRAYER (RED).
My first system was the Astrogrow system and I followed my mentors instructions (Astrogrow's info). It worked well for me so I kept using it in my design.
There are a ton of cloners out there just like mine! I never claimed to invent the aero cloner. I just posted plans to the one I build to help others save time. There are entire threads on just aerocloners alone.
As far sprayers go there are only
2 kinds. The EZ-Clones are the best on the market right now.
Also, EZ-Clone didn't envent the aero cloner, they just sell them. Many companies make and sell them.
I didn't buy one but I would have no promlem recommending one to a patient to sick to build there own.
Now thats not even what got me questioning this whole setup StinkBud talks about how his system allows 10 strains at once. If he has 14 spots per section (set of tubes per reservoir) why not 14 strains and I know NO BIG DEAL 10/14, but thats not it. I havent seen one picture of him actually implementing what he has suggested a 10 strain motherless rotation. In order for that to occur each section (set of tubes per reservoir) would need plants of every strain mixed all starting and ending at the same time. Then three weeks later the exact same strains wound need to be started in the next section, and so on. In like all your pics you have each reservoir on different strain. So I would say unless you have two or three rooms like this one hiding some where your likely keeping mothers or buying/getting clones.
If you read the whole thread you wouldn't be writing this! I have posted
many photos of all stages of my grow. You really don't understand the concept yet. Too bad you take the time to write such a long post but don't take the time to read the whole thread.
FACT - If you were to run 14 strains in 3 reservoirs 3 week perpetual flower system they would all need to be 9 week flowering plants and talk the same ppm of nutrients or you couldnt run them all in perpetual at same time. Without mothers that is.
Again, read the thread. I have a cloner, veg system and 3 flower systems. 3 weeks in the cloner, 3 weeks in veg and 9 weeks in flower.
I will admit thats not exact. For example if you wanted in StinkBud existing setup you could actually have 28 strains in two groups of perpetual rotation you could!!! You need two groups of 14 like strains (Definition of like strains - finish at about 9 weeks or so & like same amount of nutrient levels)
You are limited to the number of strains by the holes in the veg unit. Clones are taken from the veg plants so if you don't have a plant in veg to take clones from you will loose the strain.
[NOTE - staying in StinkBud proposed schedule]
- Start 14 strains (A) in cloner
- After 3 weeks move them (A) to veger. Also start 14 strains (B) in cloner
- After 3 weeks move them (B) to veger. Also start 14 strains (A) in cloner and move (A) to flower section 1
- After 3 weeks move (A) to veger. Also start 14 strains (B) in cloner and move (B) to flower section 2
- After 3 weeks move (B) to veger. Also start 14 strains (A) in cloner and move (A) to flower section 3
- After 3 weeks flower section 1 (A) is harvested. Move (A) to veger. Also start 14 strains (B) in cloner and move (B) to flower section 1
- Rinse, Repeat
If you read the thread you will find an illustration I did to explain this. It's really quite simple. 3 weeks cloner, 3 weeks veg, 9 weeks flower.
QUESTIONS FOR StinkBud and High Times?
So do you (StinkBud) keep mothers? I.e. follow the proposed grow plan you provided us. If not, what do you have another room or two or three youre just not showing us?
If you read the thread you will see that I don't keep any mother plants. I take my cuttings from the veg plants.
Closing - StinkBud you grow great bud and if you truly are a patient provider you are to be commended but to pawn off someone elses hard work as yours is plagiarism. No one would have been upset if you just gave us a link to a great site lets us know not to waste hundreds of dollars but how to build it ourselves for less than a hundred.
So you're saying that instead of spending countless hours drawing up plans, parts lists, tool lists, writing instruction and taking photos, I should of just posted a link and say don't buy this other system...
Great suggestion but I'll leave that up to you. I'm just not that kind of guy. I'm more into actually helping people.
Beyond that dont propose a theory you dont actually practice. I could tell anyone how to grow 2 strains of 9 week and 2 strains of 12 week without mixing strains in systems using 5 grow tubes 5 reservoirs harvest 1 LB of 9 weeker every 1st three weeks and 1 LB of 9 weeker & 1 LB of 12 weeker every 2nd 3 weeks. Its math but to have those plants root veg flower and stay on schedual even a master would have a hard time.
In conclusion I would like to say a few things to the people that actually matter to me. You know who you are...
My sole motivation is to get medicine in the hands of people that need it. I've personally seen what chemo does to people. I won't go into details but anyone who has watched a close family member die of cancer knows what I'm talking about. I know without a doubt that the medicine I grow is keeping people alive.
I make no profit from these plans and instructions. The money that I will eventually get from my HT article could never come close to paying me for all my time. Again, I don't care. I just think about how many people all over the world will be able to grow thier own medicine after reading my article.
All the information I teach has been out there for many years. I learned from reading the books of the
TRUE masters like Jorge Cervantes, Mel Frank and Ed Rosenthal. These are the real heros, not me!
I also have to thank all my collage professors who spend their lives spreading the knowledge of others. Without people like them we would still be living in caves.
Without the help of my mentor I would have never learned about the Astrogrow system. Even though I don't use the system anymore the knowledge I gained is used everyday. I'm sure the people at Astrogrow would love to have everyone here buy 3 of their systems but there are many sick people that just don't have that kind of money.
One of my patients had to spend $200,000 for her brain surgery. It bankrupted them! They don't have a penny to their names. They have no place to grow and no medicine. They don't have any money to buy medicine either. Without any medicine she will throw up all day long until eventually she will die. That's the truth bro.
It is my destiny to help these kind of people. The thing is I can only physically help so many people. Think about how many I can help with this thread and the HT article!
It's really quite sad to see posts like this in such a great thread but it is to be expected. I'm suprised the
trolls haven't surfaced sooner.
Don't waste any more space on this guy, we have work to do!
