Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[andyman]

Hey Stinkbud, havve a question for you. I have a aeroponics system like the one you built. I'm going on my 2nd week into flowering and i know there is going to be some males. Am I completely fucked or is there something I can do to save my females if i can't untangle the roots? Some one told me they cut there males right at the base and taped them. He said his females were alright. Just wanted your thought on this. ty

just leave a couple piddlly shouts on it near the bottom, enough to live , but not enough to make pollen sacks. just to keep it alive but not kill them roots. I did that and slowly and time taken separted the roots . one plant a day till I got all girls

any chance u could make a video explaining and showing ur set-up

Wow...i feel so lucky to read this thread -- like im privy to some secret knowledge i only got to page 8, and can only imagine where it is now, but i have a few questions:

i want to do something very similar to what you are doing here -- but all with hps lights (as i have them in my current room and want to reallocate)
i was going to get around 200 in cfl tubes for the cloning section
3-70 watt hps in the veg
3-100 watt hps + 1-70 watt hps in the first flowering station
and then the other two flowering buckets would be under their own 400 watt hps.

im guessing the cloning stage is under 24 hour light? and no nutes (optional clonex clone solution)?

and then 18 on / 6 off for veg? with regard to the nutes, you mentioned ppm -- is that parts per million? how is that measured? like half a cup of each every week? or dump all 126ml in the bucket at once?

everything else i understood and am very excited to try!!!!!

thank alot grower like u and other make the world a better higher place thank alot my plant was dying an i think u just save them i didnt want a month of work go dont the dran my leaves was turning colors dry fast i flush it and seen my white roots was black and slimy root rot i added proxide to the water hopefully they get better do u thin bk they will im kind of broke spending all my money on lights and other shit for the plant do u think by adding peroxide they will get better i read they will but need your words to fell safe and not worry bout my babies

hey stinkbuddys
i went into my flower room yesterday and found 3" of water in my floor thank god i had the floor lined w/plastic and up the walls 6"
it was a drain prob.
EVERYBODY make sure you line your floors w/plastic

Yikes - I have been worried about that... what happened? Roots too big and overflowed right out one or more of the plant sites?

How did you fix?

Yeah - I know the feeling. I was SOOO stoked to come across this thread - completely changed so much I thought I knew!

You are right on all accounts:

Clones 24 hours (though they will root with as little as 18 hours of light). I think Stink has currently been vegging 24. Again - 18 will work and save you some electricity.

Yes - PPM - parts per million - you use a PPM meter that measures electro conductivity of a given solution - or EC. Do a search on the web - there are many options. PH is also critical so you may want to get a combo meter that measures both...

Stink mixes his nute tea with water into a gallon milk jug - that is then added to your res to bring it up to the desired PPM's... In general - strains like anywhere from 1200 to 3000+++ (some Stinkers report strains still going with over 5000PPM's - though this behavior is rare and will burn most strains.) Stink's current sweet spot for his four favorite strains is 1700PPM...

hey lion
right now im using 6" pvc (untill harvest then im going to post)
but anyway i must have bumped it before i left the room

haha i actually found the burn point for that strain it was 5700ppm i had to back it off to about 2200 once i added blueberry to my quiver.

 

[scoregreen]

thanks lion for the post -- that is exactly what i needed to get started!!!

well...now that i think about it -- im planning on going to home depot to try and find the spray nozzles...will i have any luck with that? or should i just order online?

thanks again!

 

[alsoranmike]

the depot won't have them. gotta go to a hydro shop or then online if in a pinch.

 

[dagobaker]

does it really make a difference if a strain will grow great at 2000 ppm to let it go to over 5000?
i had mine go to 3000 but that was because my ppm pen broke......and i didnt find the yield to be any better.....just one mans opinion

 

[Saladsmokin]

FINALLY. I transfered my 8 veggin clones to my first unit..im gna use 10 for each unit. Im at the same step u started at.. wit ur first 600, i have my other lites i jus need to hang them..YAY. lol YOU'RE THE SHIT STINK BUD!!

Im running 4 600s with 3 systems. Its awesome!
But i wouldnt know the difference beacuse being this is new to me, i just went with what Stink said he would do if he could start over.
hope it helps with your decision.

home depot/lowes have some but there not easy cloners they work but not as good

i wondered the same thing, if im just wasting nutes, but it seems maybe they just grow a little faster not so much growing bigger.

MY SB EXPERIENCE: i want to start out by saying thanx to everyone of you guys even the people who thought they were asking a stupid question because i was just thinking the same thing. i started out with some bag seeds i got from a friend. and some mothers i thought i was getting a deal on turned out the deal came with knats and spider mites. ended up with some funk in my veg that im still fighting and preventing. had some temp problems that prolly caused the funk that i had to work out and now i find that the two bag seeds hermaphridited on me and i was to late and inexperienced to catch them in time and now i got a ton of seeds. not to good of a start for my first indoor but hey im learning as i go. i dont realy have any gifts of knowlede to add so i dont jump in and post but i have been reading and building the system for a few months now and i wanted to say thanx for all the advice from all of you. and congrats stink on being the most kick ass grower on the planet the proof is in the masive following you have gotten and the underground fame you are about to acheive due to HT and the vid. on a personal side i smoke for pain from a motorcycle crash i was in where i slamed my back into a center divider breaking some ribs off my spine and causing nerv damage to my right side. i have been spending alot in cash every month on meds and even with the seeded up smoke that i grew i now can save money and put that cash into my family. thanks bro, and when i buy my wife somthing nice with the cash i save i will let her know its because i found this site. thanks brothers (and the ocasional sister and mother) ill stop my stoned rant now. peace

Hey Bra - sorry to hear about the hiccups along the way. Glad to hear you haven't let it bring you down! I look forward to your bountiful harvest!

you will get ahold of it soon. My first batch was experimental and I still have all the girls, but I sure learned a lot on the way. out of 18 plants 3 were girls so far. Sorry to hear about your accident.
