Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

stinkbud,
I have a question about your co2 system and maintaining the oxygen levels in your water. I know the spraying of water oxygenates them but having the air at 1500ppm co2, does it not effect the
oxygen uptake in the water to the roots?

Cheers,
MJD

No effect on the O2 to the roots. The roots still end up with more O2 than with soil.

I have been reading the thread and came across the stink bud Jr set-up. Any idea what kind of yields are possible? What if you veg and/or flower for a week longer?

The longer you veg the bigger the plants will be and the more you will harvest.

Quick question, I know reading early on in this thread you mentioned running the pump for 1 minute then having it shutoff for 5 minutes if I remember correctly. I want to do an aeroponics setup but the extra timer I currently have only allows programming 8 times, would running it for an hour and then shutting off for 2 work or do you think that would be a little much? I can get a timer that can be programmed with a computer to do whatever you want it to but I don't really want to dish out the $100 for it unless I absolutely have to. I've read through allot of your thread here and you definitely know what you're doing so I figured I'd ask

I've used a 15/15 minute timer in my Hybrid Aero/DWC unit but not with the rail system. I would invest in one of those CAP timers without the knobs that run 1 min on, 4 minutes off. They are cheaper and you don't have to worry about hitting the knobs and fucking everything up.

The one I want to get for $100 is a 2 outlet timer that you program with your computer and each outlet can be programmed separately, very versatile and well worth every penny

1) I have not seen it asked but, if someone did not have the room for a veg area could this system be used to perpetually grow autos in a veg/flower room?

2) What is the max number of openings a single flower system can efficiently have with the recommended pump?

1) I wouldn't mess with autos bro. You are better off with some better strains. You can have just one system if you have access to seeds or clones.

2) The rail systems can support as many as 14 holes if you keep the plants small. If you want less plants just veg them longer to make them bigger.

can you veg in the flower system or flower in the veg system? Trying to figure out the best use of space.

You can do everything from the flowering system including make clones. If you have access to a mother plant you can take cuttings and put them right into the flower system. Veg them for a few weeks and then go right into flower. Same with seeds...
 
You don't need those expensive cap timers! You can by inexpensive 45 seconds per cycle timers off Ebay, get 2 for $30, that's what I use. Also, e-z clone sprayers suck, get the sprayers from Lowes, they are 10 times better.
 
Stink, great thread.

I was wondering if you could flower in the veg system. If so, any idea what the max yield would be per plant? There are more spaces but, I assume they would not be able to get as big due to spacing.

The dimensions of my room is awkward so, I have to fit things differently.

Can you link info to your aero/dwc hybrid? Im moving through the thread but 1500 pages is a lot to search lol.

Im was doing to do a Dwc with fog, but I'm leaning toward aero instead. Looking for ideas. Debating on 8x8 x 1 ft enclosures with an aero setup inside, as I'm trying to save on nutes and aero and fog seem like the best option. Ideas? (I outlined a little more what I was trying to do in my own thread under DWC. I'll link if ur interested.)

Does this system count on the water cycling every 5 minutes for one minute to keep the water moving around, no letting the nutes settle, etc..
Just curious wether a air stone or two would be beneficial?
not sure if this has been covered, but after 100 or so pages ithought someone might be able to help me out,
 
I bought the book and am doing my first run with the cloner and Aero Veg unit. All is going well except for reservoir temp. Room ambient is at 75 F (warmer under lights) with lots of air movement but my water temp is about 72 F. According to the book, the water should be 68F or lower based on my room temp. I'm using the Eco 396 pumps with a Titan fixed short timer 1on/4off. How are the rest of you keeping the reservoir below ambient?? I understand how swamp/evap coolers work but there's not much evaporation going on in my reservoir.
 
Hey Stink, I am building a setup very similiar to yours and just have a question regarding the cycling of the aeroponics...I know you run a 1 min on/5 min off system, but I forgot to purchase my cycle timer :/ is a 15min on/15 min off ok or a little too much for the clones roots and will lead to root rot?

Cheers!

You should be okay bro. Just watch for any weird smells or a slim building up on the sides. If you see or smell anything wrong you have to run synthetic nutes or a res cooler.

I've used a 15/15 minute timer and it seemed to work fine. It takes a long time for the roots to dry out. The 15min on does seem to heat the water up a little more so watch your temps. Remember, warm water is the #1 cause of root rot.

what is the length of the system including the res?

Believe it or not you can actually make the system any size you want to fit your space. The plans are just a suggestion. Measure your space and then give yourself enough room to walk/move around. I had 3 Stinkbud Sr. systems in a 7x8 closet. I couldn't get inside but I could change the reservoirs very easy.

I use an air stone in the StinkBud Hybrid units. You don't really need one in the rail type systems.
