Dude, this forum has to be one of the most luckiest one out there. I have not seen such an informative guy helping out a community thus much. I just started building my aeroponic system today. 21-gal tub, pumper, and 10 mist sprayer, and i thought my build was complete. Boy was i wrong, after reading from the first page to page 71 in one day, i am burnt. It is 2:39am here in southern Cali. Yet, i am so thankful for the information i have learned. I am still a little confused after reading this much. I will be getting some clones in a rockwool cubes, so then i can go into the Veg stage, then after the veg stage its is time for the flowering stage. When i place my clones in, would i need a medium because i have the rockwool on? I realized that you went from a two bucket set-up for your veg stage and then transfer to your aero/nfl stage. In my case, i am a total begginer at growing. Could this be accomplish all in one bucket?

Stinkbud,

I think it would be very helpful if you started a thread that has lists the 3 stage (clone, veg, flowering) and how each systems is being used. Including what in needed in each stage via how to build it, and how to move on from one stage to another. I would do it for you but i seem like i have 589 more pages to read.

Once again, i am very thankful.

ok so heres the deal, Ive been following Stinks plan I built everythang to T, I am In 2nfd week of flowering with two systems running an the third almost ready to be filled up:bigjoint:. Im using all the nutes he said to use in the exact measurments. I have 3 600w lights not vented at the moment cause it wasnt helping the heat anyway. I am using 31 gal res. with about 25 gallons in it. everythang is going great except i think i let em veg a lil to long it looks like a F-ing forest, anyway also my clones for some reason take forever to root. strain is SIS an the problem in the flowering room is this. I had let the ph get out of whack for one day, jus didnt notice it. adjusted it back to 5.9 for some reason now i am getting pretty bad leaf curl downward. my water comes out the tap at 280ppm ya i know its high but so am i an im tired of going to fill up jugs every other day. I dont really change the rez rather i drain more than half then replenish with tap wata an adjust ph. i brought ppm down to 1200 on he big ones an 800 on the smaller ones cause i figured i may have over nuted them. Temps in the day somtimes reach 90-92 degrees, never for more than 15 mins tho, thats all it takes 4 me to fix it, but once i open up the room an let the cool air in they settle around 85-88. rez temps are fine an humidity is round 38 i have a ventfan running all the time an it is still hot in there. is there a way to corect the leaf curl thats all im really wondering. an Ive gone the whole grow without posting once so dont give me No shit pls jus need a lil help thats all. Oh an Thanx to stink, Id still be trying to figure out wat to do with my used soil if it hadntt been for this system, I been doing soil an or soiles mix for the last 8 years, I try this system one time an it seems like im a fukin hydro pro lol any info is appreciated. sorry if i left out anythang First post on here. mabey i should jus post pics of all my lil op an see what suggestions anyon has to improve upon it? or maybey somone knows what im lookin for oh btw Im in the south bottom of the map so its always pretty hot. thanx in advance oh also I jus got all my new genetics in and they are 7 inches tall I took them staright out the veger an put them str8 into 1 water a day soiless mix an im waiting to start cuttin. will this work or did i jus fuck up 600 worth of seed? lol

Befoe he mentioned the weed he had a nice harassment charge
what was the probAble cause for being pulled over? Sounds like harassment to me. And entrapment for sure
I don't think a joint and plant fertilizer is enough for a warrant
they can't follow u home from a store and pull u over forno reason
another good reason to keep things clean in your car
this shit pisses me off. I really need a lawyer on retainer to Johnny cochran their asses. I don't think they had a right to even pull this guy over. It's like why they can't sit outside a bar after closing

I am 1 week into vegging , the roots are getting way long . I put a few extra drain holes for good draining but some of the roots are getting close to going through . I know somewhere in this thread it said something about being able to cut the bottom of the roots but not sure at what stage ? If anyone could help me out with that page # or just some advice would be appreciated . My reason is because I started from seed and going to have to wait to sex them before I can put them into system just read that didnt want the roots hangin in the res. :peace:

I started some of mine from seed too... For me, the seed started 100% Sativa plants had some stress after cutting the roots. They came back around ok but don't be surprised if they whimp out for a day or two.

Maybe the stress is strain dependent?

I left my roots as long as possible. Mine were just to the bottom of the 18 GAL rubbermaid.

The clones I have don't seem to care if the roots are cut. :leaf:

My bad, they found a lil weed in the car(crumbs), so they had reason to suspect house.
I guess you live in a state that is not MMJ protected. If I were you, think about ordering supplies online... AND/or maybe start some tomato plants at home :lol:

That might even beat hauling 2 liter ice bottles around. Here is more information, and the thermostatic controller that goes with it.

Hey Stink, hope all is well - congrats on the HT piece; good to know they are smart and have good taste as well as all the Stink-Buddies =)

After an unwanted hiatus, I am glad to be back on track - I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but tending to the girls, although work and sometimes a bit stressful, for the most part is so therapeutic and relaxing.

I had previously only built (2) units that I dubbed "Mantis" as they reminded me of a praying mantis, while I tried other methods in the same space (DWC, Ebb + Flow, Buckets - no matter which method, same strain, same nutes, same light, no plant out performed or out yielded the ones in the Mantis units! The proof is in the pudding) so now I put together my third unit which varies in a couple of ways;
* I came up with the PVC from underneath the posts using the same 2" bit used for the netpots.
* I used the window retainer clips mentioned by a couple of ppl a few pages back (Excellent idea, thank yo7u so much, works like a charm!)
* The posts are longer than the original 2, but I made less holes (6 per post) with more room - I think this will work out nicely.

Anyways, thought I'd share some pics and once again thank Stink, Dirt, and oh so many other ppl for making this one of the most informative, respectful, and powerful thread on this topic we all love dearly!

Gringo Loco =)

One quick stupid question;

In stinkbud tutorial in building any systems, when he states cutting a 41inch pipe, do you add another 1.25inch? because when you plug in the piping in each ends, it takes up approx ~ .75 of an inch. If this is the case, then the sprayers will be miss-align.

stinkbud,

I also realized that you have miss a section of your aero/nfl build section. You never mention anything about the PVC fence post, haha. What size, how long, etc...

Hey all.. just wanted to post and let all know of another lil security problem.

I went to the cro shop today to get some nutes. Picked up some micro and bloom, paid and left. Got about 2-3 blocks away and here come the laws. Had 2 undercovers, a K9 and a reg marked one. They took my girl out the car, ?'d her, then came to my side and asked me what I had in the bag, well they found the nutes. then said they were getting a warrent to check the house or cooroperate, I knew all i had were a few small bshy mothers and some clones. So away to the house we went.. :(

Got to the house, they saw my SMALL setup, and was like, this is it? I said yes, its personal. They asked me who was teachin me, where is the person with the big growss.. I was like, I learned off the net, like everything else you can learn. Assholes wanted me to be a nark..lol. Told they asses didnt know anyone, and i really dont. They said since i was cooprperative, it was beter on me, cause if they would have went thru the whole warrent and dog show, they would have to have taken me. They took the plants and wrote me a paraphenalia (sp?) ticket and left.

So I guess I'm done for awhile until I can figure a few things out.
Just a heads up, if you see unmarked law cars(crown vics, imps) near your hydro store, watch out.

So again.. :`(

Just wanted to know what area you live in. (West, Midwest, East?) I just went to the hydro store yesterday. Wanted to know if i should pay a little more attention.
