Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

5200!! Wow - looks perfect! My meter would not read that! Is your meter actually an EC meter converting to PPM's? If so - what does 1.0ms = in PPM?

Do you flush along the way too? If so, how often?

Thanks!

i dont flush along the way, this is my first grow with stinks system and i havnt been able to burn this strain yet, today they are at 5400ppms and ill wait a few days before i crank it up any more.

Hey man great Post and great grow... Very sweet settup, I wish I could clap my shoes together and I had the same settup.

One thing I noticed not sure if anyone else said something about this, I am a newb and don't really know anything about aeroponics.

But Those roots look like they have alittle root rot. I've seen pictures of very healthy roots and they were completely white, So it seems like you have some light leaking into your roots.
I noticed your Tupperware was blue, If you simply bought a $2 can of black spray paint it would keep the light out and the roots wouldn't been brown like in some of your pictures

Not trying to criticize, but the roots might grow just that much bigger if they don't have root rot, Whatever you can do for the cancer patients right

Oh and here is the picture I'm talking about, very white roots

After the first dozen pages or so, stinkbud tells that they turn brown from the organic nuits, liquid Karma is real dark and stains them brown. There still healthy just stained brown. Hope this helps.

does anyone know if u stunt plants if u raise the ppm too high?
i had a dwc grow where i didnt change the water and even though the ph was perfect i was at 6.0 ec and it didnt grow as robust

Yea, those are roots from a DWC system, dwc and aeroponics are 2 completely different things. Stinkbuds Aeroponics system uses organic nutrients (namely Liquid Karma) which make for the brown color, dwc doesn't.

i have the same 396 gph pump that you have. if your using 1/2 inch pvc for the watering how do you or what do you use to connect the pvc to the pump?

Wow Stink awesome Grow man.... i read the whole fucking thread in like 3 days hahaha

Anyway i have adopted your Grow set up, at this stage i have built the Cloner and today is day 14 and there are certainly roots in there!!! I been growing in coco for years now and thought this seemed so much simpler and guess what it worked!!!hahaha

Rightio, Now i've built my flowering Set up pretty much only a few finishing touch's to lay on it before its operational... At day 21 when the clones are ready for Veg... is that when its time to add nutrients? Do i slowly build up the nutrients everyday so they get used to them? Also i dont have the brands that you are talking about, so would a simple Canna A & B formula be ok for this style set up? Or perhaps Dutch master A &B? They are pretty much the 2 that i have availiable to me unless i order over the net or something...

Anyway Stink... Much +rep!

Oh and by the way... I didnt want to fork out so much for one of those timers to get the watering sequence the same as you have it, so i used a normal analog timer and set it for 15 min on and 15 off and i havent had any problems with watering the cones so that may be a cheaper option.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a a 1/2" pvc threaded adapter. It has thread on one side that screws into the pump and the other side has a 1/2" slip joint that accepts the 1/2" pipe that you cement in place. I also use some teflon tape on the threads to insure a good seal. good luck.

I have sealed and vented lights. I draw my air from another room and vent into the attic so I don't suck out all the CO2.

I use a 440 CFM fan for the lights and a 200 CFM fan to vent my room.

I use A/C during the Summer when it get too hot.

I have my controller set to vent the room at 60% humidity. When the vent fan is on the CO2 automatically shuts off.

i have a ac vent in my growroom should i cover it if i want to use co2

Stink I know you can appreciate this. My Blueberry made little bannanas and I see at least one mature seed(do you?) but I am sure there are more. You may remember the plant I harvested early for meds a couple weeks ago. I found one seed in it and it was mature. There have NOT been ANY males in the room. I hope my other strains got some pollen too since there are different stages of flowering in there! Also one of these has light damage(how does white weed smoke?). I think most will be getting harvested really soon. I need medicine for pain so I want some a little past prime and most prime time if you follow me. Any advise on THIS would be appreciated. They wil have been flushed for one week on Thursday. Enjoy the pics from my little junky Nikon D80! Sweet camera Stink!

Yeah - Matty - I also moved to the Stink system from Coco. It has been quite a change but I love it!

I too was wondering about other nutes as I had some Advanced available... Stink has stated that the organic Botanicare he uses has the best flavor... I figure why not go all the way - so I too went with the Botanicare... I have to say, it tastes better than Advanced! ha ha Once I get through a batch or two, I did want to try something else - for comparison sake. I would like to see how you fare with other brands.

I also questioned the strength of nutes when you go to veg - and got a few different answers... The guide says start at 1500 and move up to 2000. I started at about 1350 and that seemed a touch hot for my strain of OG Kush (some leaf tips curling over) - so I backed it down to 950 and all looks well. I am scrambling to finish my flower unit! I thought I was running the show...

I too found the aerocloner to be magically easy! I put the first veg unit in action last week, and number 2 went in today. Stinkin' it up!

doublebubble you might want to adjust the white balance on your camera... those buds look really nice , but the yellow pics just dont do it justice.. peace

STINKBUD: u got any links online for a decent aeroponics system to use? im looking to grow around 6-8 plants and im from the uk.

cheers mate
