I'm using a generator with success and I don't have vented lights either
I have a 50 pint dehumidifier and 10000 btu air conditioner. It keeps it at 85 no problem. Even the hottest days
And I can dial in any humidity level
I'm running 3-600 + 2-400. In a 10 x 12 foot room
Running 8 stink bud flower units in there for 80 total plants. 5 each 4 foot post
7 plants are too many 4 me

after growing and cloning in aero u will never go back
now that my grow room is complete with co2 i can produce 10 oz per week in my 10 foot by 12 foot room (10 by 10 is fine also) have 2 stink bud systems under each 600
i have 3 600 hps and 2 400 hps but in reality 4 600 would be perfect
i dont have air cooled but thats the way to go for sure

Hey has anyone tried surgar for the last 6 weeks of flowering???? Jorge say's in his book that it will add another 20% to your bud size. Can anyone concure? I was thinking maybe adding corn suyrup.

What's your thoughts Stink?

Also for those of us trying to beat the heat this summer:

I will be using the mini fridge chiller this summer. Just have to take it apart....LOL.

You can use both methods via a thermostat.

Should keep things kool this summer.

Hope you cats enjoy.

P.S. Also for those worring about flushing... you can always use a seperate res for flushing.

cheapest way to produce co2 is a generator
i have an electric ignition version
it also produced heat and humidity though.....which u have to worry about
this new unit called a hydrocooled co2 generator is supposed to be the bomb......water is used to cool the unit causing less heat
it produced co2 about 6 x cheaper than the tanks..........but u need to cool and dehumidify the room.........i figure the non summer months the heat produced will cost me less electric to heat the room/house

If you use the Stink nutrient formula, you use Sweet - which is a form of sugar. Clearex is also a form of sugar... Many companies make sugar based addatives intended to increase yield and flavor - it works, just as Jorge says it does!

Additionally, flushing with sugar helps to leach salts. Stink is currently using Clearex, and then Sweet for his final flush.

Thanks brother... was not sure on the ingredience of sweet. Not that far yet.

Also yea the guy who thought that ice cooler for a chiller... is pretty smart. Never would have thought of it myself.

Hey fellow Stink Buddy's,

I've been out of town for two weeks with no computer access (oh the withdrawals!). Just got back...have caught up and have now updated the StinkBud thread PDF to page 617. I'll of course continue to update it for every hundred pages...you can find it here or in my sig....

Great to be back!!

Hey you guys I was thinking of building this system myself and had a few questions as I went through the first 20 pages or so and haven't found my answer.

1.)How large of plants will the fence post system support. I plan on vegging for 2 months then flower will it be able to support the roots of such large plants with support of course? Or will I have to restrict it to 3-4 plants per 6 foot post?

2.)Also how many 1k or 600 watts do you recommend per system???

3.) can the 18 gallon res support 3 fence posts instead of two or will that push it and cause ppm and ph fluctuations too often and make it a headache to take care of?

4.) Lastly do you use tap water or do u run it through a reverse osmo filter first?

u can put as many plants in the post as u want
im experimenting with 5 right now.....(stink used 7 in the beginning)
if u want sog style u can use 8 with no problem
i have some with 4 if u grow bushy style plants
yield imho is more about other factors than amount of plants..........light...ie watts......genetics.........nutes.........ph/ec/tdds..........co2.........
im still new to aero but i can tell u when u get this system setup with co2 and the nute mix we use u WILL never out do what we do here

I am not worried about how many plants they can support. I am more worried about how large of plants as I want to be able to support large plants with large root systems...

is reverse osmo mandatory?

how many lights do you use per system I would like to use 600 or 1000 I am looking to build these as effectively as possible but I want to order everything at once...

is 1 1000 watt per 2 post system suffient or should I go down the path of 2 600 watts per system?

I can tell you this much....

Vegging too long with this system caused me headaches...

I had some plants started from seed. I vegged them way too long.

They got huge! The 2" net pot was tipping in the vegg'r :shock: I started adding rocks to the top of my tub to hold them in place.

The roots all grew together into a huge mat in the bottom of the tub... I thought maybe I would just let them finish in the vegg'r. The the little rocks that held them at 4' tall would not hold them at 5' tall... I needed boulders, but none would fit.

I had to cut the roots...

A couple of days ago, I cut em. I left as much of the root length as I could. They started looking bad... I put the water timer on for more time watering. It took a few days but they look better now. I have no idea if I stressed them to Hermie... Time will tell I guess.

I will never let them veg too long again... Never.


The tap vs RO H20. Depends on your local water source. My water has a PPM of 550 out of the tap. I had to go with RO. Check your water.
