I don't think you're a hater at all. Just another concerned person.

Your are right about the Federal laws. I know I'm taking a chance. But you have to look at it from my point of view...

One of my patients is a mother with 3 kids. She's only 26 years old. She has brain cancer. They couldn't get all the tumor out without killing her. She has to be on chemo the rest of her short life.

My medicine makes her want to eat and keeps her from throwing it all up afterward. The doctor was able to cut her seizure medicine in half because of marijuana.

Marijuana keeps her alive, it's that simple.

When I met her the first time she was sitting there holding her little baby boy. I decided right on the spot there is no way I won't help her.

That's how it all started...

Anyway, it's like I can't not help these people, you know what I mean?
That's amazing bro u have a friend who does the sort of stuff u do it works wonders

No I'm not dead, just busy as hell! Most of you think of me as a grower but I actually consider myself more of a breeder. I really wanted to find a strain to help my fellow veterans and reduce the stress and anxiety of PTSD. So I wanted to find something that makes you happy. I've always loved the uplifting effects of OG Kush SFV but it tends to bake me more than the recipe called for. I want something strong but I don't want to be comatose.

One of my other favorite strains is Durban Poison or what I like to call house cleaner weed. Why house cleaner? Because at some point after smoking too much DP, your spouse is going to walk up to you and say, "Honey, I appreciate you vacuuming the house and all but it's 3 o'fucking clock in the morning and some of us have to work!" It's not full-on speed weed like some of the Haze strains but it definitely gets the blood flowing. The problem with some Sativas is they can sometimes increase anxiety and make one paranoid. I smoked some Super Silver Haze one time that made me so fucking paranoid I thought for sure I'd get home to a flood, but it wouldn't matter because the cops would be there waiting for me! True story!

So, Girl Scout Cookies is a mix of Durban Poison and OG Kush SFV. I guess that's why so many people love it and why I chose GSC to be the pollen donor. I figure it has the best of both worlds so something good must come out. Well... I was right!

Surprisingly the best out of the bunch is the Trainwreck X GSC cross. How good is it? I'd put it up against any strain in the world right now, it's that good. Imagine a sweet tasting OG Kush. The real catcher is the high. I like to call it "happy weed" because it just makes you happy. It's not like a good joke but more like it get's rid of the stress and anxiety that causes unhappiness. It's has a fairly strong stone but it's not full couch-lock. Take one hit and go mow the lawn, take ten hits and go mow the lawn...in your dreams.

So I named this strain in honor of all the veterans that have served our country. This strain is for you. I'm going to try and spread this cutting to as many people as possible in hope that someday it may help someone battling PTSD.

My latest article is on the shelves now! It's the November 2016 issue called, "The Brady Bunch". Check out the contents photo, full-page centerfold and a couple of full page photos. I still have a couple of nugs from that Cindy 99 bud in the photo. If anyone wants a rip just let me know and I'll load you one...
I cant believe only a few people liked this. This is awesome!! I know its several months old now, but nice job Stink

Could we got some flower and veg. pictures of her Stinkbud? She sounds great.

What you say about Durban Poison is true. It is at its best if you let the calyxes all get red.
All the southern African weed has that effect though. I like a bit of nice hydro occasionally but rather give me field grown Sativa that has never seen pesticide.

PPM is strain dependent. Some strains will suck up the nutes like a wino with a bottle of Mad Dog. Some strains will burn if you just show them the bottle of nutes. Woody strains need more Cal/mag.

Environment also plays a factor as to how much you can feed your plants. If you run an aeroponic system with lots of light and C02, you have to feed your plants more or they won't be happy.

Best way to figure out your nutes is to put away your PPM meter and look at the plants. Are they super dark green with the tips curling under like bird claws? Leaves are crispy and brittle? Then you're too hot and you need to lower your mix. Are the plants light green with thin paper like leaves? Are there dead spots on the leaves? Are the stems purple? If so you may need to up your dose. The truth is you don't even need a meter if you measure your mix and change it often.

Plant food is not all the different than human food. How much you eat depends on a lot of factors. When did you eat last? How much did you eat? What did you eat? How much exercise did you do? How much water did you drink? It's not all that much different for plants than it is for us. So why is everyone obsessed at assigning a number. If you can't figure out a PPM for yourself how can anyone expect to do it for plants.

Don't be a measurebator...

On nutrient solution concentrations, I found this interesting quote in the informative article; Nutrient Management in Recirculating Hydroponic Culture
Bruce Bugbee
Crop Physiology Laboratory
Utah State University


Many people think that more is better when supplying nutrients and that it is better to have excess nutrients in the solution than levels that are only adequate. This is not true and this thinking leads to dangerous imbalances in nutrient uptake. For example, potassium is absorbed rapidly from nutrient solutions. If potassium is supplied at excess levels its uptake inhibits the uptake of calcium and induces calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Keeping potassium at appropriately low levels in the root zone significantly improves calcium uptake and helps to prevent blossom end rot, a common calcium deficiency disorder in tomato fruits. Because calcium is passively absorbed by plants and is not needed at high levels in fruits, it accumulates over time in nutrient solutions. I have seen it accumulate to 20 mM in some systems, which is 10 times the concentration in Hoagland solution! As shown in Table 3, tomatoes need less calcium and magnesium in the fruits than in the leaves, so these elements should be reduced in the refill solution during fruit growth to reduce their accumulation in the nutrient solution.
and this part. You know all those "bloom" formulations that have high P levels? Might not be a great idea after all. Advanced Nutes dialed theirs down and nobody seemed to complain. I guess this quote refers to KEEPING high P in the solution all the time though, meaning keeping topping it up too frequently.
For example, the water removed from solution through transpiration must be
replaced and it is necessary to have about 0.5 mM phosphorous in the refill solution. If
the refill solution was added once each day, the phosphorous would be absorbed by the
plant in a few hours and the solution phosphorous concentration would be close to zero.
This does not indicate a deficiency, rather it indicates a healthy plant with rapid nutrient
uptake. If phosphorous was maintained at 0.5 mM in the recirculating solution, the
phosphorous concentration in the plant could increase to 1% of the dry mass, which is 3
times higher than the optimum in most plants. This high phosphorous level can induce
iron and zinc deficiency (Chaney and Coulombe, 1982). Feeding plants in this way is like
the daily feeding of a pet dog, some dogs would be badly overweight if their food bowls
were kept continuously full.

Quick question all, mainly the OP but anybody can answer. Would a 11x11 room be enough space for this setup? The very first post mentioned doing this on like a 7x8 closet but I keep seeing the OP refer to different rooms (clone, veg, flower). Is the area just partitioned off?

could be separate tents. but the main thing is the 3 flower units are on a 12/12 light schedule the clone veg mothers are 24 or 18/6

you will want some good light tight separation so the 3 flower units light and dark cycles dont get screwed up

Thanks Barista! I figured that out after reading the post more. It's SERIOUSLY hard to go from 1 to 590 after just stumbling across this thread. I'm on page 240 something though lol. It's had my total attention the past couple days, even at work. Has anyone done this and tried to double the flower setup? So it would be 6 flower stations. I don't think I've read that yet.

Lol.. took me over a week to read it all the first time. Want a tip? Save the pages with info you think you might want to go back and reference, there's way too much to search through if you need to find something.

No reason you couldn't run multiple systems if you have the room, lights and environmental controls.

@StinkBud. I think the plans for the flowering rails are missing? I just looked on the first few pages and didn't see them. Do you still have them saved? I think I might have it on my other comp.

Can someone help me with a lighting fixture issue?

My room is 8.5 feet wide. I am having an issue figuring out how to hang my lighting fixture. I have a ceiling fan smack dab in the center and I wanted to to keep that to help with air and cooling. Does anyone know of a light stand or anything thats 6-7 feet tall? Everything I have found thus far is 4 feet.

Thanks again Barista. Are you using the type of setup in this thread? I think I'm more interested in the annual yield of a perpetual harvest setup than anything else.

I've read in other threads (and Im almost cetain somewhere in this one) that clone/veg can be done with almost any type of light as long as its close enough and on for 18-24 hours. Is that true?

Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to build my supplies list and like most I want to keep the initial cost as low as possible and invest along the way.

I will be growing from seeds initially, then cloning. I've done a drip system before but this will be my first attempt at aero, I'm sold on the results.
