Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

9 inches-------------

Maybe they are hitting the lip just right and spraying underneath it. Can you turn the heads 90 degrees to see if it stops?

been runnin this for a while but I keep having temp issues rez gets into mid 70's and soon after ph drops out of control. I have to change rez after two wks or the rot will start settin in.

well the wilting went away after 24 hours, just some overreaction.

But WOW! The roots explode in the vegger! they're growing so fast. I am getting excited. This system is working great for me.

Stink Bud you Rock! I started your system about a year ago and it was my very first time to grow and I had fabulous sucess! My friendds said I made them sit and drool on the couch. LOL I grew white widow and a tye/skunk strain. The Tye/skunk was my favorite because Im a girl and I dont like the munchies. Almost no munchies and I really enjoyd the flavor and buzz. Anywho I just wanted to say thanks for teaching me so much!

What humidity were the clones in your areoponics cloner at? how did you maintain humidity?

ya anomolies these roughnecks can be a pain. there are several ways to deal with the leaks. try holding the outside of the top edge with your thumb and your fingers on the edge of the lid, then pull up and in with your thumbs and push down with your fingers. this pushes the lid down lower than the top edge of the container so the water hits the lid first. or you can clamp it down with those blue clamps you can buy at homedepot or use rope calk around the inside of the lid, but be sure it is in one piece all the way around or buy those black and yellow tough boxes. sorry for the long post but i have tried alot of things and all work somewhat

respect stinkbud,
you are a legend and a life saver. thanks for sharing your setup.

Hey Dirty, what strain are you running there? Also do you leave the top off your rez all the time? You still running CJ? LOL

I'm running LAC, GC, SB5,Ken's GDP, kananga,. Not running CJ this year I'm liking how these go outside. The water is going from the post to cut outs in the top of the rez.The ones in the ground are monsters. The ground ones pic Dirrtyd

how much water do u fill in the tote? half way or to the top of the tote?

I fill to the top of the tote. dirrtyd

quick question, what's everybody's ppm level in the cloner when using clonex? thanks.

You are having temp issues with your reservoir because you are running your room too hot. PH drops for one of two major reasons, the first is you are running your nutrients too hot meaning you have too many nutrients. The second reason is something is growing in your reservoir and is most likely my guess.

Here's the thing I can probably coach you through using chemical nutrients and Hydrogen Peroxide full time, can't do that with organic nutrients. But even if I did that why are you going to bother running your lights for mediocre product? Just get your temps to be a maximum of 72F with the lights on and 62F with the lights out and grow some dank weed like you deserve. Or 78F with lights on for C02 and I use 65F for lights off. These numbers you should stick to for your reservoir this is true, but also you need to run the right temps and not pay for electricity to grow you airy, half resinated buds.

If you can't do 72F/62F then do 72F/65F or worst case scenario for no C02: 76F/68F just 76F for plants with no C02 maximum, you are trying to balance the temps so the rez lands at a cold temp.

Quick question, can someone hit me with the total length of the aero/NFT cause im trying to see if I can fit two in my walk in closet.. Thanks!

You can make it to what ever size you like. It all depends on how many sites you want to use for flower.Dirrtyd

Ok, how do you all feel about using LEDs on just your veg and cloner? It's cause I'm intrigued by the LEDs but I hear they arent so great for flowering. So im thinking just staying with HPS for my flowering room, but I really want some efficiency on my veg and cloner in terms of watts.

There are people who love LEDs, In veg I'm sure it will be just fine.
I actually prefer a T5 HO light(s) over a MH in veg, the growth isn't as fast but the nodes are nice and tight. And it's much easier to control temperatures in the closet i'm using for veg/clone with the flouros.

On the Stinkbuddies forums Caprican and Bigrick are both using LED and I believe they are using them in flower too at least supplemental. I feel LED don't have enough technology and by the time they do Plasma lighting will be out.. And anyone not growing with the FULL SPECTRUM will be at of the loops.. hehehe
