Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

I use a dual container aeroponic system. The roots grow straight down which makes the plants easy to transfer to the flower room when the time comes.
I read this article in High Times and I was confused about the mention of dual container veg unit but the pictures were of a smaller Flower unit. Then I found this article :)

Anways my question is how do you seal the two containers together??? do they just set on top of each other and let gravity do the work since it is only the "spray" that is in the upper container and the lower is the actual resevior?

Do you use some sort of rubber gasket?

Thanks!!!!

No gasket..the water just funnels down the hole and into the bottom res.

The high times article messed up and called the flower unit the veg unit.

Thank you, finally found "page 75" of this thread and it was like an awakening, it all came together - DAMN HIGH TIMES! They had me going for a loop!!

THANKS STINKBUD, et al!

PS - I just put my first 6 clones (Montana Medical Marijuana Program Patient, thus the 6 plant limit) into the cloner I made per this article and WOW, the roots have grown 3-4 inches in not quite 48 hours. I was blown away, especially since I have yet to get my pH leveled off because the Hanna Continuous Gro'Check meter isn't working right, and the well water I have has a HIGH ppm out of the faucet (Going to have to get RO system but damn, the ones at local hardware stores only store 11 gallons at a time, that seems like it wouldnt be enough water on hand, thoughts anyone???), and finally, the grow op is on a second floor so it is warm up there, and the water temp got to 95% for a few hours the first day they were here. I am going to get a portable A/C unit this weekend to fend of the occasional high heat we get here in MT, which isnt often :)

Anyways, I built the "veg" unit per the article and it isn't the veg unit, so it looks like I have 4 flowering units (eventually I want some patients so eventually I am hoping to have a full house if you know what i mean), so this evening I need to knock out the real veg unit, but it looks easy so I am not sweating it.

Lastly, I have a propane burning co2 generator w/controller in my FLOWER room, but I dont have one in my veg/clone room, is it worth the 700-900 bucks for the generator and controller for the VEG room? The rooms are next to each other thus another alternative would be to cut a hole in the wall between then and add a small CFM fan blowing into the VEG room to transfer "some" co2 to that room. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is it worth it? The hole is easy, installing the fan is easy but figuring out how to not let the light transfer is a PITA when there is only a 2x4 stud wall between the rooms.

THANKS ALL!

I change my 600 HPS bulbs after 2 flips. I label the cardboard sleeve of the one I pull out with how long it ran and save it for a spare.

can't you just build one of those two right-angle light blocker doohickeys on one side of the hole? shouldn't be too much of a bitch, in fact, pretty sure you can do it with just cardboard and tape--

just do a search and i'm sure you'll find what you need.

this thread is for growing and asking questions about the stinkbud systems and any upgrades we do with this system
if u want to push flood and drain or ebb and flow feel free to start a new thread............
i like this system because its very cheap to run.........has no medium to ever buy...and the nutes smell amazing and the growth is crazy and the yield are too
if u can hit the numbers u say u can hit then good for u ......and start a new thread ...........""""""im the greatest ebb and flow grower ever"""""""""""""
ive grown ebb and drip......and dwc.......and coco.....and dirt with good genetics and this is the system for me..............
its counter productive to talk about other methods UNLESS ur growing the stinkbud system now and want to give a comparative analysis

No.. it's not like that at all...

I just wanted to see what you guys were doing..

No one showed me a pic, so I thought me posting a few would prompt someone to follow...

and it worked... I got to see what I wanted...

I am sorry if I stepped on your toes...

Oh, and I do have a journal... you are welcome to come by, if you want...

and I am just a newb dude.. not the greatest anything...;-)

Just a newb...

But I promised I would go away, so I am unsubscribing now...

Sorry to have bothered you ...

Just accept gypsy for what he is. Obviously he likes to post alot. I mean look at his post count 4689 in one year. I get the feeling hes tootin his own horn a tad. And thats fine. All he had to do was go through the thread to find pics. but i do agree, this is a thread about the stink system, and should be kept that way.

Wow... so i went away for 2 weeks meaning i had to leave it in the hands of a very unexperienced person (absolutely never had any experience in anything other than mowing the lawns hahaha) And everything went ahead with no dramas, i' came back and my system is nothing but buds! ! ! So i am one extremely happy stinkbud fan!!!

Hey MTN, Welcome!
Gotta love Montana :clap:
One of the meters I use is the Gro'Check... It's a great meter. I have one meter on each rez. GC came with a cert for PH & PPM. I checked it before using and it was right on the $. Maybe get some 4, 7 & 1380 or 1500 PPM solution, see where you are at. My Gro'Check has been very stable. The only problem with it is the 1999 PPM ceiling. So I use it for clone & veg units.

Anyways, I built the "veg" unit per the article and it isn't the veg unit, so it looks like I have 4 flowering units
I've PM'd a couple of Stink Buds... Who thought in theory, it could work to go from cloner to flower unit... If you get in a bind, just do it.
Just make sure you don't vegg too long with THIS system... Once small clones become tree's quickly!

Lastly, I have a propane burning co2 generator w/controller in my FLOWER room, but I dont have one in my veg/clone room, is it worth the 700-900 bucks for the generator and controller for the VEG room?
C02 is for the flower room... You don't need it for the vegg room.

I just get annoyed when people claim 1.8 running ebb and flow with bagseed
if it's true start a thread like this one and if it's for real people will flock
to b honest I'd rather run 20 monster plants under a 600 than 48 non veg
I might run a sog grow with this system and see what I get

Wow! We are at page 669! Sorry, I haven't been following in quite some time. I was busy trying different things here and there on a very limited budget. I'm sick and I am ready to totally immerse myself in "the method".

I have all of the equipment on hand including lights and C02. I had already built the cloner, though, I would change that now to run the power cord through the side. Just curious if there are other noteworthy improvements since the PDF was published. Anything major I should change or would I still be doing well to go step by step with the original PDF?
