I was thinking the exact same thing. I have some clones that have been vegging for almost 3 weeks in soil.
Was considering washing the soil off and switching them to aero.
But now I think I'll reconsider and just keep em in soil, and take cuttings from them to add to the new system.

:mrgreen::mrgreen:

good idea... I wouldnt do the wash off thing and all that...lol... too much stress.... start straight into hydro....

The other day I was pulling off some of the lower fan leaves and busted one of my clones completely in two.

I chucked the roots and put the plant back in the cloner. 4 days later I had roots. The plant didn't even look like I did anything to it!

By far the most important aspect of your grow is choosing a good plant strain to start with.

The best system in the world will grow crappy buds if you start with crappy seeds. Now granted they will be BIG crappy buds but crappy none the less.

I'm not going to go into detail about everything. There are books for that. I just want to cover the basics in regards to my own personel experience.

There are two main types of plants. Indica and Sativa. Some group Afghan as a separate type but for this discussion we will group Afghan with Indica. Let's not deal with Ruderalis strains because you can't clone them.

Indicas: Plants are short and stocky. Buds are dense and covered in resin.
Smell and taste goes from sweet to hash like. Smoke is dense and will make you cough. Load small hits or be prepared for the coughing frenzy of death.:fire:
They finish in a short time compared to Sativas. Usually within 8 weeks.

The stone is heavy and physical. Think couch lock.

My favorite Indica is Mango. It looks like a classic Afghan. Warning! Too many hits and it's nap time. I'm not into pure Indicas myself. Love the taste but not the stone.

Sativas: Plants grow tall and lanky. Buds grow light and airy indoors.

Taste is sweet and fruity. Smoke is light and tasty. You can load hero hits and be the man about town.

Sativas take forever to finish, sometimes longer. You will be setting around for months saying "What the fuck"? 12 weeks to finish is not uncommon.

The stone is energetic and cerebral. A real creative high. The more you smoke, the higher you get. Smoke too much and you might get paraniod though.

My favorite Sativas are anything with Haze. Silver Haze is unreal! The first time I smoked it I got so fucking paranoid I just about shit myself! Think Speed Weed.

I wish I had the space and time to grow pure Sativas. Good thing that there are mixes that give you the best of both worlds.

Indica/Sativa mix: This is pretty much all I grow. Anyone can find a strain that suits them best.

Finish times can be between 8-10 weeks depending on the strain.

The size can vary. Cropping may have to be used on taller strains.

Some strains have more Indica in them. My favorite is Blueberry. It is 80% Indica. It is by far the tastiest weed I have ever smoked. You have to grow this strain! Trust me on this. Great for movies and gaming.

Strains with equal Indica/Sativa are my main day smoke. AK47, Bubblegum, Purple Silver all fall into this catagory. They have an energetic high like a pure Sativa buy also have a nice mild body stone like an Indica. Balance is the key.

The most Sativa I run in a strain is 80% in my Skunk #11. I love that classic skunk taste and smell. I wish I could find a quicker and shorter variety of Skunk though.

So there you go. The condensed version of Genetics. You could write a book on the subject and still never cover everything. You have to start somewhere though.

Your success is 100% dependent on finding the right plant. Don't underestimate the importance of finding good genetics to start with.

In the Navy we had a saying...
Shit in, Shit out.

Great thread SB! I am a newbie and would love to give this a go, would you recommend this to some one who is attempting their very first grow or is it a little too advanced for a total newbie to the game such as myself. Thanks dude. :bigjoint:

My 2 cents bobwoods, your experiance level doesn't have that much to do with it. If you can afford to and take the time to recreate the grow that Stinkbud has layed out for us all, then your result should in theory be similair or identical. He has simple designs, well mapped out in this thread, and with the right equipment you should get good product. You also have him and 100's of others with more experiance to help you along your way on this site. Build the set up, get your genetics, and start a journal, and everyone will likly be more then glad to help with the education process!!

Thanks stinkbud,, It used to be that a mentor would help you get set up and dialed in, and then you would give him half your harvest for a couple runs.... I feel i owe you.

I would of loved to have this info and system when I first started. It's so much easier than soil it's silly!

If you can bake a cake you can do this! It's that easy.

Good luck dude!

You owe me!;-)

At some point in the future, if at all possible, could you please help a cancer patient with some medicine.

That would be the greatest payment of all!:-P

Actually, I am doing this to help supply my club
(all patients);-)
Sweet! U da man!

Wait till the club tastes your candy!

Try to find some Blueberry clones if you can. I can tell you what you will say your first exhale....

WOW!

The compliment I receive most from my friends is from the taste of my buds.:bigjoint:

Then they just sit around and drool.:dunce:

Now all we need is a condensed, detailed parts list. I've been slowly figuring out what all is needed but still have a few questions!:bigjoint:
