Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

I have been freaking out the last couple of days over the amount of bucks I have channeled into this project(about $1100 and counting). I had started asking myself, what the fuck are you doing. Then I went and checked the cuttings I put in the cloner 5 days ago and saw the first little roots starting to pop out. NOW, I am freaking out over how glad I am I found this thread and have quit trying growing in dirt. That first little sign of progress is sure a moral builder.
No doubt, Bra! I felt the same way... and it still feels good to see the roots on batch 3. I suppose the thrill is gone for Stink, but I will continue to get a rush off the aero cloner for some time to come!
 
hey guys little more progress now first two pics are the same plant same node just different angles 3rd shot is a whole other plants. I cant tell if these are pistils forming or male pods. Sorry first grow i know this is annoying to you veterans.I took clones last time i posted and the stink bud cloner is working great. thanks

lol i am ashamed to say it but for quite a while i had only been gettin like .25 g / watt in a two month period ...i hope to raise that number to at least .5 g / watt from the experience of this collective of growers ...i have big bud strain ...and a few others i actually think that the northern lights i have produce more ...same with ppp from nirvana ..i lost that strain tho

o yea i once had a strain that was AK-47 male mixed with Blueberry female .....and the seeds it produced i grew em out and got like a pound out of a 3x3 tray ....so i dont know what is up with those strains exept that i know they are bomb ...o yea the high from that weed was very excellent too

Yo Stink, Yo Stinkers - I'm 33 days in on my first two batches. Here are some pics. Thanks all for your help getting me here.
Holy shit! That OG looks sic bro! Even the fan leaves are covered in crystals. It looks just like my NYC Diesel.

Your plants look really healthy too.

Wait till you try flushing with Sweet. I can't believe how good my buds taste since I've been using it.

Thats impressive, do you think it would be more if you used a high yield strain like "big bud"?
I've always been curious about the efficiency of different systems. As soon as you do the math though you realize that the value of the product far outweighs any costs associated with growing it.

I bet LEDs would stomp all over the other systems at grams per watt.

Now the only thing I really care about is improving the quality of my bud.

I'm also doing a little breeding again. I've been checking out the different seed stock lately. I want to find a good male and save some pollen to breed with my existing strains.

Everyone loves the Kush strains. I'd love to breed a Blueberry Kush! The best Afghan I've ever smoked is called Mango. It's un-fucking-real! If I could mix Mango and Blueberry it could be all time.

Hey stinkbuds, ive been running the veg formula with sweet in the flower room for the first 3 weeks like stink and the plants love it!

I noticed some of my blueberry that have been in flower for 5 weeks started to claw a little. (1st pic) ive been running them at 2000ppm. the temps and humidity are dialed in perfect so im thinking it must be too high of nutes. I dropped the ppms to 1800 just now.

what do you think?

My Blueberry likes 1700 PPM. It's a little on the low side for the other strains though.

It looks like you have your CO2 dialed in now. How much are you using? Did you set your valve to 10? You can with a controller...

I have the original "Spinal Tap" CO2 valve. It goes to 11... :wink: I don't use it because I heard that it could cause your buds to grow so fast they explode!:mrgreen:

hey stink when you added that third 1000 watter did it make a big diff on heat in your room ....

and did your quality go up with medicine ..

i wonder cause i plan on adding a third 1000 watter to my setup and was concerned about heat issues ...i have an ac in room for summertime and i ehaust my room air through my aircooled hoods up and out the roof

after reading your thread man i got to say i am gonna be taking down one of my ebb and flo 4x4 trays and replacing it with one of your aero/nft systems and a few buckets on other side ...i have been having good results with buckets that are large ....i think it is a good practice for those of us who have small plant limits ..like the normal 6 adult plants ...anyways +rep

yea man, the co2 with a controller is the best money you can spend! Ive got mine set to 7 and it just keeps the room at 1500 + or -. My ac comes on quite a bit lately, like 2-3 times an hour. I found out where the water drips out of the ac unit and i just put a bucket underneath,, works good enough.
Also, i check my controller from time to time to see the extremes and everything is great except the humidity at some point gets to 78%!!! holy cow!! i figured it gets that high when my dehumidifier shuts down to cool itself.

I was gonna plug my exhaust fan into the controller and set it to 60%...that way it will keep it low..only problem is when that happends the co2 will have to pump again to get to the 1500 level.

but all is well in ganja land!!!

:peace:

Probably off topic, but... I love the nutrient formula. I pour the old stuff into my garden and the effect is amazing!!! Could you use this same formula with a coco grow? I really don't see why not, but your the expert, not I.

as the weather get warmer ive noticed im not the only one with heat or humdity issues
since im using a co2 generator i have more heat and humidity issues than most
im currently only using the internal bucket for humidifier but its getting full so i need to attach it to a hose and run it in a bucket
then i just take the dehumid water and add it to my different systems......about a gallon a day each
i also noticed the units are using a ton more water but not as many nutes since i went to co2 and get the temps to about 88 degrees max and 77 deg min
also the ph seems to drop quite a bit when that happens so im going to move to 5.9 ph and maybe 1800 ppm to give me more of a buffer
i noticed the plants are stretching much more since the co2 but its too early to judge the bud size......only been 1.5 weeks
i need to get a controller soon......probably wasting too much co2

No doubt - the Botanicare mix will rock the socks off your regular garden... I even use my res leftovers for outdoor plants that I sort of neglect and just let do their thing. I usually just add tap water and ph accordingly...

I am also a coco grower - and when I started using the Stink method, I began feeding some mothers in coco with Botanicare - they loved it. I have yet to churn out a harvest with it, but I bet you get great results!

To really get off topic:

Do you use Advanced now?

What type/brand of coco do you use?

Thanks, Stink - for the props and for showing me the way to create those tasty buds.

I have been following you and Dirt with the Sweet flush. You knew, I am on that plan too!

Bro - I want to see what you do with this OG! I wish I could get you a cut or two... hmm :confused: It's just a matter of time - sounds like you were close last week to securing some.

I love any type of Diesl... medicating with outdoor Sour D right now (not mine).
