My one experience with dabs left me with noodle legs. Only a couple hits as well.

Thanks stink! Always appreciate your advice when you stop in, my thought is if the new seedling I currently have in the cloner gets infected by the older plants that I currently have in my vegger (the ones being treated for rot) then I will keep all my seedlings in rapid rooters and maybe just try to cut a clone off the oldest plant I have and then start fresh, or could keep rolling until all these get older to take clones from and my new seedlings can head outside.... Can always take clones from them when I get it cleaned up too... Options.
On other notes stink I see your having your ways with bho, wondering if you've messed with any rosin pressing ?

ya its all the same strain, 8ball kush, finally trying something new in a few weeks, i have a purple kush plant from crop king vegging right now, cant wait to see those nuggets growing. it took me 3 cycles of learning to scrog before i got the canopy nice and even but eventually you will know which branches to pull down and which way to send them in order to fill the screen. hardest part for me was cutting away most of the plant under the canopy, you feel like your throwing away shit that would give you a bunch of weed when in reality, if you scrog right those branches wont get any light and only grow mostly popcorn. that pic is my best canopy yet! and Stink i haven't cut anything away yet, might just leave it be. thanks for getting back to me about the units, i was gonna stack them first like the original design but it stood too tall for my table so i got creative, definitely the best root growth I've had tho! cheers!.

Cycle timer can be found online anywhere from 40-80 bucks. Also people sell modified ones on eBay that work nicely, I recommend something you can adjust, you will likely find yourself wanting to play with the sprayer schedule, nice to not have to make a purchase everytime.
As far as I know everything for stink is the same besides the ball valves and such to be able to shut off each sprayer line to be able to drain res quicker. I suggest checking out superstoners threads if you are interested in adjustments/modifications/improvements to this system, his nutrient recipe has been tried and proven, one of the big improvements being the addition of bennies, or a "live rez" i started without having any defense to algae or slime (sterile or bennies) just ro water and nutes and I got hit quick and hard. all the information can be rounded up between his two threads.
For what it matters I am running bontanicare, the kind line to be exact, mainly because I am running RO and thought the added ca would be beneficial. (Stink was running them at one point)

I have tried pressing my own rosin. I went and bought a nice hair straightener and pressed out a couple of buds. Basically it kind of sucked. You spend a lot of time and effort to get a very small amount of rosin. I'm sure if I had a commercial press it would be different but for the home user, BHO is better.
I did have a little better luck pressing out some bubble hash I had but again, the return is not worth the investment (time). A nug that would give you about five bong hits will produce one dab. Now granted that single dab has a lot of THC but I personally would rather have the bong hits.
The best thing about rosin is it's safe!

I have one of those cheap 1 minute on, 4 minutes off timers with no knobs. They're less expensive and you can't fuck things up by hitting the knobs.
400GPH pump for 15 sprayers.

Yes I still run Botanicare nutes after all these years. I have yet to find nutes that taste better. I still prefer the old school factory Botanicare recipe but I do add Hydroguard to inoculate the mix with beneficial bacteria.

Did you read the thread at all?
Cycle timer stink uses runs 1 min on 5 min off.
Botanicare has feed charts listed on their website if that's the route you want to go, Stinkbud has his recipe on this thread. And as mentioned super stoner has threads with another recipe. No matter what I highly recommend hydroguard if running a live rez, I also add pondzyme for the symbiotic relationship between the two and the combo has done me well for my rot issues.

Like I said I do reccomend an adjustable one in case you find yourself wanting to play with the feeding schudule, somewher I read that 80seconds on and 8 minutes off was the best for some reason, I just switched to that and idk if it was a coincidence or not but the girls(hopefully) started eating more then they ever had, my ec started dropping a decent amount daily.

Update.
Hey guys, if y'all remember I was battling some brown slime/rot/algae very early in the game. So with the advice from everyone things have been improving I would say, the plants are nice and green, leaves pointed towards the light during lights on and last but not least nice thick new white roots, everytime I change my water I have been doing a bleach scrub, I add hydroguard and pondzyme every 2-3 days at a rate of 2ml/gallon for the hydroguard and just a dash of pondzyme.
Just changed my vegger and followed the super stoner recipe but with kind vs pure blend pro, will see how that does. Following the recipe as close as I could jumped my ec up from .6.7 all the way to 1.2 (300-400ppm to 650-750 ppm) so a larger increase then I wanted to do over night but we will see how the plants like it, hopefully they don't suffer or get locked out, I will monitor the EC closely over the next 24-72 hours and see if they are eating or not.
The ph came out to right at 6.0-6.1 so I didn't mess with it, I want to see if it's going to rapidly climb or if it has just been rising because the ec has been dropping.
Ph'd the cloner to 5.6
(Still can't get the cloner bucket to quit rising)
So we will seE what it's at over the next 48-72 hours , I've been changing that water out every 3-4 days since its just a bit of RO and tap mix with some hydroguard.
Put the new seedlings into the cloner....... Dun dun dun... We will see if they get infected.

Hey stink, yes I'm very interested in it because of the safe/solvent less factor, (im sure your bho is bhomb) but around here it's not always the cleanest. (Junk)
I'm currently working with two buddies to build a 10 ton hydraulic press and hopefully will average a little above the 20% yeild margin, seeing as we will be having trim to make dry sift from and press that and pop corn buds and such were not to worried about the return because to us the clean pure product is worth it's weight in gold.
I'll update you when we get it set up and pressing.
So far I'm kind of with you with the hair straightener thing, not worth it, I tried with just my body weight and a straightener and it was like you said not worth it, but then we put the straightener in a 600lb dewalt hand vice and the yeild greatly increased, but still having to do 2 and 3 presses. So hopefully the tonnage behind the press will make it worth while. I would love to see solventless be the main stream but I believe your right that from commercial production scheme of things it's not plausible for it to take over bho.
Maybe solventless = medical
Everything else = recreational
(Again not meaning any offense I'm sure your dabs are medicine at its finest and I would be honored to glob it sometime)
Just heat and pressure sounds a lot better in the Medical field I would think then butane and pressure and vacuums.

why those timer are expensive.
Can you run 15min on an 15min off?
can someone explain the 1min on an 4 min off for aeroponic>?

But haven't cloned in it yet only raised seedlings, building a new cloner tomorrow. Found one that will utilize my space better allow more spots and hold more then the 2 gallon bucket lol. Bigger Rez easier to maintain.
Then I will likely be testing the best times for cloning with the 15 minute timer, start with 15 on 15 off and go from there.
