Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

How important is it to keep night time temperatures? I noticed the night time temps in my flower room have been around 80 deg. Idealy 10-15 degrees lower then the day temps would be optimum, but running the ac to get to 70 or so during the night cycle would be costly.

You should be fine. Watch the plants internode length. You don't want your plants starting to run.

Watch closely for mold! I found two big buds with mold this harvest. Look for dying leaves on your buds. If you see any, open up the bud and look for mold.

If you find any mold throw the whole bud away. Put it in the trash outside so the spores don't travel into your room.

Hey StinkBud I'm 90% sure I'm going to have a set up based on this, and I was wondering if you think that posts were the best choice for the drain/root system. Would a big pipe had been better? Do the roots ever clog them up?

The first system I bought had pipes. A flat surface is a lot better to put the net pots in.

Round things tend to want to roll. The square posts also give the roots more room than a round tube would.

stink or any stinkers.. so i found i have mold in my clone and veg closets... what do i do to fix the situation? its not far spread at all yet.. and i dont want it to be..

whole milk and not skim milk. Skim milk will kill your plants.

1% milk is ok, but not as powerful as 2% obviously.

Goat milk will work in a pinch, but you need add 5 ml of molasses to thicken the bunch.

Additionally goat milk will require the addition of at least 2 tablespoons of skim milk to really activate the amino acids.

If thou hast not but a pen full of rabbits thou shalt consider milking thine rabbits and other various rodent around thine abode, for rodent milk make the best mix for mold.

Hey Stinkbud I just wanted to say thanks for all this wonderful info. I think your one of the nicest people I have never met. In the begining you had some rude doubters but you were so nice to them in your reply, then when they came back again you were so kind. Then they came around (you were right of course). You've given me some great tips & helped with some problems. The baking soda tip was great for the bottom of my stalk. I will stop rambling just to finally say thx dude bro!!!

Well Stink, my 20lb c02 tank hooked to my controller at 1500ppm set to 7cfm lasted one week. Im gonna see if theres any leaks in the aircooled hood ducts and try and seal around the walls to see if i can get it to last any longer.

definately worth it, the buds are much bigger and the growth is exceptional.. .

That sounds close. I'm running about 7-10 days now. It depends on how often my vent fan comes on. We have had a bunch of cool days so my vent fan stay off.

When it gets real hot my emergency vent fan kicks on quite a bit and sucks out all the CO2. I'm putting a big A/C unit in the wall to see if I can keep my temps and humidity down this Summer. August is the month to watch out for.

We are getting central air conditioning put in our house next week. No more window units! I'll still need a wall unit for my flower room though...

Mice milk is the best. Although it takes a while to milk those little fuckers.

One time my mice weren't producing and I was out of whole milk. The store was closed so I decided to go milk the cow in the field next to my house. After a lot of hard work I was able to fill a glass. It worked great!

I couldn't figure out why the cow kept following me around afterward. I asked the rancher about his cow and he said he didn't have any cows. All he had was an old bull....

How did it work on the mold? There is a bull in the pasture next to mine. The things we will do for good smoke!

First off, txhomegrown your avatar just cracked me the hell up.

Second, That you Stink for all the helpful information. Say Im a complete noob. Could this realistically be achieved by me. Im cautious and very detail oriented but like I said a noob. But this sounds amazing!

I know this is an awkward question

I'm not sure I would recommend going out and milking bulls. Especially if you are an inexperienced bull milker. The question was a bit awkward...

Ah, now the Happy Cows are from the Great North West... How sweet

I think you made a friend for life, Stink... LOL.....

alright i have a question im sure its been answered already but, i love this setup and id like to try somthing similar. i have two sh bubbleponic systems and i dont want to have to keep any mother plants. i would like to have 6 plants vegging while 6 are flowering. after harvesting i would then move the six that are vegging into flowering, obviously taking clones from the vegging plants befor moving them. im just concerned about how large the clones would get vegging for say nine weeks while the other 6 are flowering i just dont want them to veg to long and be to large when it comes time to flower.

Hey Stink and Stinkbuddies who are MMJ providers - check out this post an Andrew Sullivan's blog - I found it very moving

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/05/the-cannabis-closet.html#more.

Sullivan has been pushing for legalization on one of the most well-read blogs in the country, it is having an impact. If you have a similar story, send it to him. You guys are all doing Gods' work. Keep it up!

Interestingly enough the last CO2 swap gave me a tank that had a leak around the valve, where it is screwed into the bottle. It was slow enough you could not hear it. I always check my connections with a little soapy water. From now on I'm taking it with me and checking each tank I get.

I ended up using it anyway, as the tank pressure was not too far off what I would expect. Too bad! It was out in 1 day. They must have just filled it before I got there....

ps mine have been averaging 8-9 days at 1500ppm flow anywhere from 5-15. 15 and its gone in 7 days, about 9 days at 3-5cfm and I can stretch it to about 11-12 days with 0.5cfm, though the actuator is pretty much always on and gets hot.

hey stink
its been 5 days sence i put that plant in my cloner to flush i left the pump on 24/7 looks like there doing good
2 more days im taking them out
the color change is crazy man
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

if they get to tall you have to top them witch helps make more bud sights

alright thanks i just wasnt sure about topping clones this will be my first clone attempt
