Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Ever wonder how hydroponic suppliers recommend connecting multiple pumps to a repeat cycle timer?

This is how

I can't believe I haven't seen this before.

Anyway. Someone I know has been running 8 pumps off the andyman timer for a couple of months now... no problems!

If you tore that open I bet its very close to the relay/contactor inside
a 40amp one with maybe a breaker in too.

Hehehemann, I am not that experienced but it looks like you have your timing backwards, I think you are over watering. It should be 1 minute on 5 minutes off.

Even if it was like that or the other way they would still be fine. I am running my pumps 24/7 (only one my flower unit, veg and clone are still on 1min on / 6 min off, I can fine tune my timer to many settings) till I finish my other timer. Just waiting on 1 more part. anyway the plants in there are growing fine. And Ive read here and on another forum people running them 15 on 15 off cheap wally world timers and working fine too. But I still want the 1/5 type and think its probly best.

Ive seen plants like that before. its underwatering . I forgot my pump plug unpluged one time and they looked just like that. bet they will be ok today
peace

The plants are worse today. I think one is virtually dead now.
I really don't know whats happened. Obviously I thought it may have been clogged up sprayers or faulty pump but after correcting those (timer is fine btw) and leaving it going over 12 hours the plants look almost like they are about to die.

Everything has been fine with the grow. Any idea's? Anything I can use to clean them up in a medical first aid type of way?

Thanks for all the help so far.

I agree with everyone and think you have a watering issue. Any idea what your humidity levels are? That might be compounding the problem. I've forgotten to turn the pumps back on twice after cleaning - they went maybe 1-2 hours without water.

The first time was when my humidity was down near 20% and I had one plant that just never recovered, the rest did fine, but it took a couple days. The second time it happened, my humidity was right at 50% and when I turned the pump back on the plants perked up almost immediately.

nice man, i wish!!

I haven't posted any bud shots lately so I thought I would show you guys the NYC Diesel.

The calyxes are the size of a pencil.

The room is well vented. Temperatures around 70 degrees and res around the same. Humidity averages 36%.

I went to my local grow shop and asked there. I am now running clearex in a fresh res for two hours continuously. After which I will change res and add nutes and hope.

I triple checked every part of the system and all is good. All I can do now is keep my fingers crossed.

If this dosent work I am at a total loss.

Shit... after thinkin oh wow how unlucky would ya have to be for your timers to fuck up.... I was baked the other night and left my system unplugged for 12 hours in my cloner... They have roots so i guess its no biggy and they should bounce back ok, we'll see though fingers crossed, but i have faith in the system... (faith in the system is weird to say! hahaha)

Oh and update my veg system is nearly finished and so is my flowering... Might put the clones in the veg over the week end and i'll through some pics up for ya's!

I am sure you already checked this but no hurt in throwing out someting that may have been overlooked. make sure there isn't a switch on your timer somewhere that activates a photo cell. If there is make sure it is set for both day/night or light/dark cycles. From what you said and the looks of the plants it looks like they are going without water for a period of time.

My timer is the Art Dne and the settings was definately on 'Both" for day and night cycles.

After a few hours of running continuous clearex I have seen no difference. I have now emptied out the res once again and have decided to go with another few hours of clearex.
This is my first grow and I decided to go with the Stinkbud system as it seemed fairly idiot proof.....well I'm the idiot who cant get it to work

stink:
i can now say that i have read through this thread in its entirety and what a great thread! i have been on the fence about which hydro system to run but after seeing the results of you and others my mind is made up! thank you for sharing this valuable info!

i do have one question...
i know it has been mentioned in this thread a couple of times but i would like to get a bit more clarification on how you transition seedlings (not clones) into your veg unit. thanks again!

i just did it with some blueberry from dutch masters, i germinated the seeds in a wet paper towel kept inside a ziploc bag untill the root coming out was long enough so when i put it in the neoprene collar, the root stuck out the bottom about 1/8 of an inch, and the seed was flush on the top. i use the clonex solution in the rez like stink and have them in the cloner with other strains, after 2 days theyre 2" tall with the first set of true leaves.

5 weeks into flower now. hey stink can i borrow your camera for a second?

was this ? to stupid to answer.i apolagize if it was.some people say u need fresh air coming in. i am new to inside growing.

Hmmmm, DP blueberry, 5 female seeds and so far I am still trying to figure out which of the 4 great mammas to keep breading! So far all have a great taste and effect, so I am now down to which yields the most. You will be happy with the end result!
