Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

theyll double in size during flowering, i read it at least 5 or 10 times on here, you guys really werent kidding, i dont know why i didnt listen, they grow so fast its hard to dial in height when you have limited space but visions of a pound of that dank.

Got some problems ups failed i changed my res friday night like i alwalys do i turned off the ups and drain my res and refill takes me about 5 to 7 mins top i turned back on my ups pumped turn on and this was about 9 pm went out to party when i got home at 4am checked on my girls and i could smell elec wire burning i look around in my room and 1 plant is drooping i un plug my ups and plug my pump stright in to the wall pump turns on im like wow the ups just stinks of fire today is tuesday and i have 4 plants know that look like there dying i checked the plant and its getting water i barely lifted it up on all dying plants and there getting water i know the pump was off for ay least 7 to 8 hours ouch ? puzzled with a plant dying a day out of 40 four have /or dying will post pics in a second

hopefully the rest of my girls dont do this first pic is the good ones the second and third are the bad ones ouch

what do you guys/gals think, Stink... will this work?

wow man that's intense! it looks awesome but aren't the mister heads designed to spray upwards to produce an optimum spray/mist? otherwise very nice!

............. bump

Check you spray nozzles for blockage.

Was the no water situation when the lights were on?

Personally I don't use my UPS all the time. Only if a huge storm is coming and then I would have to be gone from my house.

I have a small Honda 1000W generator that I use if I loose power. It also saves the all the food in the fridge.

The truth is I've only lost power here once in the last 4 years. That was during a massive storm.

I never worry about losing power. So ask yourself how many time do you loose power. Is it only during storms? If so then loose the UPS and watch the weather.

STINK. I just had to say thanks again. I made the first drop yesterday at my collective.
Guess what? Everyones jaw dropped.... They said it looked and smelled insane! they said it needed to fully cure still (only 2 weeks from chop) but i can honestly say i am there new top dawg!!

now if i can get my hands on some super genetics, the rest is gonna be history!


thanks bro.

Yes.

Here are some root photos so you can see what to expect.

The first photo show the roots at 3 weeks. The second photos show what the roots will look like at 8 weeks.

The big plants are over 4ft. tall. This is as big as the roots will ever grow.

So far I've never had any problems.

Hey fellow stinkbuddies. Here's a couple of things that I've found to make my life easier with this great design. First I bought a little rolling dolly from harbor freight (on sale for 10 bones) and it fits perfectly under the 18 gallon rough necks. Makes it easier if you have to move the res for ph and water changes. Number two tweak I also made the mistake of buying some 2" netpots that sucked (they had very little lip on the edges), I had bored a hole in my fence post that was slightly bigger than 2" and the net pot ran the risk of falling thru. So I grabbed some of the neoprene that was waste material from the neoprene sleaves and made a little gasket for the net pot. Now the net pot can't fall into the hole. I have yet to grow a plant with this gasket under the net pot (what's everyones input). Also, I've found a really well made net pot (It has a nice lip and it is well molded without plastic bits hanging) www.n-g-w.com is the website printed on the edge of the net cup. It's a damn good net cup take my word for it. Number three, not sure if it's been mentioned is getting the thicker guage 1/2 schedule 40 as opposed to the thinner guage, then when you drill holes their is more room for the threads of the ez clone sprayer nozzles to bite into. I also use a tap to pre thread my holes for ease of sprayer installation. I also made my 3/4 stand for the fence posts with both thick pipe and thin and noticed that the thicker pipe stand is more rigid, not sure if this matters yet. Thanks so much stinkbud for providing a platform that I'm able to learn hydro. I sure can't get this valuable information from a book.

i did the same thing with some 2x4's and the wheels that came with my dehumidifier, it makes being in a wheelchair and moving an 18 gal roughneck half full of water a bit easier. especially when your stoned

I finally went and bought a hose to aid in the emptying and filling! Thats the only hard part of the system so if thats as bad as it gets I'm golden! Well aside from controlling the enormous growth!

ok im very confused about the cfm rating on filters. does the cfm rating mean thats all the air that will pass thru no matter what? or does it mean thats what they recomend for best results? i have a 4x12 activated charcoal filter that is rated at 220 cfm. i have a seccond one i will be installing today. ok now my exhaust fan is about 550 cfm and same with the intake, im wondering if im going to screw something up like the filter or fan if im pushing too much air.

My understanding is that the cfm rating is the speed limit at which the air will be properly scrubbed. Once you start moving air through the filter too fast, the available carbon surface area is overwhelmed and odors start getting past the filter.

If you find that is the case in your situation, all is not lost. You can still use your fan, but with a Speedster controlling it. Just turn the speed down until the filter gets all the odor.

On the subject of filters. I was just trying to figure a way to filter my room. My flower room is 8x8x8 inside of a room that is probably 16x20. Inside the flower room i have a 435 cfm exhaust that sucks air through my passive intakes (from the outside room) out into the attic. The outside room is also where i dry the buds. my question is, what is the best way to filter the air? If i attach a filter to the exhaust intake inside the flower room will it also filter the drying bud smell? In theory the air inside the outside room will be vacumed into the passive intakes then get filtered?

i think it would work you might have to let it run 24/7

thanks thats about what i was looking for, i have a second filter im going to add today to the exhaust, the problem was i was not moving enough air fast enough, a dehumidifer and a 400w hps put out so much heat in a 5'x5'x5' box, my fans have a speed controller but i had to crank them up to keep temps down, now i have an odor issue. i thought i had a leak some where i couldnt find, but now im sure im just forcing too much air thru the filter.

Hey stink, I just found out some bad news; my aunt has cancer and will be starting chemo next week.

Obviously, I want to help her in any way I can (Stinkbud's system isn't free) but there is a little problem.

My uncle (her husband) is a police officer and I've seen him get a little upset when she joked about getting marijuana for her glaucoma.

I'm sure he'll be ok with it, but since he is a cop I want to be as discrete as possible.

I was thinking of making her some brownies or cannabutter.

I'm just not sure if either would help if she doesn't feel like eating.

I know you have a lot of experience in these matters, is there anything you recommend?

Thanks for your help.

You can try a Vaporizer. I often have sever nausea and both smoking and vaping take care of the situation. Plus in my opinion the smell is very faint and you can even bake using the lightly browned meds (I tried to use some that was vap'd with to high a temp which made the brownies taste awful and were very weak)

I'm planning on moving my garden to a roomier location (12' x 12') in the near future and in planning for lighting I am considering acquiring a 9ft light mover to place in the middle of the room and a horizontal bar to place (2) 600w lights over (2) rows of SB flowering units; my question is this:

Any Stink Buddies using light movers, and if so, which model? how many watts? using multiple lamps? Prefer/Not Prefer over standard static lighting?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is something I have not found much information on while researching online. Also, heat won't be a concern, so I don't plan on running fans and exhaust ducts which hopefully should make implementation much simpler.

TIA!
