Blue Dream in the back is going crazy so she is being ignored. When I purchased all these with the exception of the XXX and Purple Urkle, the co-op rooted all of them in Grodan with the exception of the massive blue dream in the back that was rooted in the black spongy jiffy pete. That stuff made a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a heads up,

Blue Dream is mostly sativa if I remember correctly. Don't vegg those too long, they will be big freaking trees before you know it :o

The monster sized one, if it has the roots I think it has... Could be moved to a flower unit.

I had a run of 100% sativa... I topped them, bent them, you name it and they still got 5' tall... I had to run one rail of just the sativa, because they would have overpowered the hybrid and indica's that I had. If the rail had been mixed the others would not have gotten much light.

Just something to think about. :peace:

can you link me to the junior set up? was looking and searched but there is so many posts here its impossible to find

Like others have said, just cut to fit in your space. Stink never put up plans for the Jr.

As far as site search goes.. Paste this into your search window with the topic you are looking for typed in where "search term" is currently. You should be able to find what you are looking for.

Hey Stink,

I want to start off by thanking you and the other posters who provided so much knowledge about the subject matter to us noobs. :clap:

I have two questions...

1.) What do you guys do about smell (odor), how do you mask or remove it so that you can remain stealth.

2.) A - Would it work if instead of building the Areo/NFT system, I can just use a Rubbermaid similar to the veg system and grow one BIG ASS PLANT (similar to a Christmas tree :weed:).
2.) B - How big would the tree be in order to harvest a pound? How long will I have to veg the tree?

I am also looking at an alternative to CO2, this system looks like it will be expensive (the lights alone could run you half a grand) I wanted to know if there was an alternative to a CO2 tank?

I happened to already have a great air filter in my house. "Sun-Pure" brand. Filters 5 or 6 ways... Most are using can filters with a fan attached. Some are also using ozone. There's a bunch of good DIY carbon filter threads in the Do It Yourself forum

I had a 5' tall sativa tree in my veg unit. It was really hard to keep it in there, it kept tipping over.

I started piling rocks on the net pot, trying to hold up :shock: AND it was rough getting into the bottom rez to cut the roots off the pump.

It's up to you, but that was my experience. At least with the fence post setup, you can either zip tie the net pots or another person here, thought of using some tabs... Kinda like what holds on some bathroom mirrors.

There's ways around keeping the roots from clogging the pump, I plan on using two rubbermaids (one for the plant and the other for the res) I plan on keeping the res lower than the plant but not on top of each other.

Example: both containers will be side by side but the plant container will be slightly elevated so that it will not over fill.

As far as it tipping over, I can create posts that will keep it vertical.

How long did it take you to veg the plant to 5'?

My goal is to maximize my vertical space and minimize the amount of cycles.

For example, if Stink's system is 1lb every 3wks then maybe I can make a system that will take 9wks flower but yield a bigger harvest so I would not need to cycle as many times

figure that one big plant can also take advantage of getting more light being that it wont have to share with 13 other plants.

I started my first big plant also tryin to bring the count lower and yield bigger. the veg unit it very hard to do this in. i started to flower my current green crack out at about 32" tall and 28" wide. The root mass was the size of half my entire arm after trimming , and wider than my arm. the only problem is the roots growing into the pump. it would be much easier to veg it and flower it in the ' flowering unit ' if you want to grow trees. id also suggest going with a 5x5 fence post if u do this to give more room for the roots.

did you build this at a slight slop so the excesswater drains back into the res or is there no extra water

im running 2 cloners.......6 veg units...........6 flowering units
i want to build a flowering unit thats 6 foot long and 3 posts wide for an area that 3 foot wide and 6 foot long.......i have extra room for moving around and for the 30 gallon container
i need a 30+ gallon container thats 3 wide so it can collect from all 3 posts
they have 6 foot long posts so i dont need to cut them
any plans via pdf for that kind of unit
and.....anyone use the veg units for flowering?
i use the tough boxes from lowes for vegging units and was going to build 2 for my flowering room

Yes that is right.

No, the 24 hour drought is not correct... It's 12 hours if you are going by Stink's process:

StinkBud's drought method of harvesting bud:

1) Leave your pump off the day before harvest. After about 12 hours your plants should be wilting enough for step 2. You don't want to kill them, you just want them to use all the available water in the roots, leaves and stems.

2) Fill the res with water and 450ml of Sweet. I'm using half Berry and half Citrus Sweet. Plug the pump back in. The plant's empty cells are refilled with pure sweet water.

3) Within 24-48hrs your plants should be a light green/yellow color. Go ahead and harvest as normal.

4) Get ready to be surprised!!! Do a taste test and tell me if I'm crazy or not.

Awesome!!! I sooooo cant wait to try this, especially since i havent been able to use sweet for my whole grow op... because i ordered it over ebay since you cant buy it off the shelf where i live and we have no similar products, so this is exactly what i needed!!!

I just started another 2 plants in pots so i can take clones off them so now i will have 2 strains in my grow for my next op :-)

I appreciate the responses but nobody really answered my question about plant height and yield. Also the CO2 question.

From my understanding plant height in this type of set up wont really change the yeild too much, as with any indoor situation... the best way is to have many small plants to creat a sea of green canopy effect with multiple colas rather than one large plant with one large cola. This is how i have always been taught in any aspect because you can in turn have your turn around alot quicker becuase you clearly dont have to veg for as long... Hope this helps bro.

The two big plants were about 10 inches tall when I put them into flower two weeks ago. They are 34" now! I am using a 31 gallon for the root chamber ang a 14 gallon res. I did it this way because I am going to be moving in a couple of months and this will be easier to move than the fenceposts. When I get settled, I will build the real stink flower system.
