Hey stink,, have you ever harvested then found a whole bunch of buds underneath that are thick and really nice but not done?

I just harvested after a week on a sweet flush, but after cutting all the top buds i found a whole bunch of mid level buds not ripe yet....should i go back to the flower recipe for a few days, or just keep with the sweet? i have about a week i can let them mature before it starts to screw up my schedule..will post a pic

You can harvest the top buds and leave the bottom ones to finish up over a week or so.

Just keep flushing them with Sweet.

You can also just go ahead and harvest them. Make some quality bubble hash out of the popcorn. It's kind of like making diamonds out of coal!

The sooner you harvest everything, the sooner you can get your next batch into flower.

When I take my veg plants into flower I pull the lower leaves and stems off of the plant. I don't end up with a lot of popcorn buds that way.

I use the lower branches for my new clones.

1000W lights are not as efficient as 600W lights but they do have better light penetration. 3-1000W lights give my plants a massive amount of lumens. Not to mention there is virtually no dark areas.

The plants really love the mix of MH and HPS lights together. I keep my new flowering plants under the MH for the first 3 weeks. I'm also trying my veg formula at 2400 PPM to see what happens.

The MH is helping keep the stretch down on the new flowering plants.

The more I use Sweet, the more I love it! I've been using 450ml in my mix lately. My last batch is the best bud I've ever smoked in my life! Everyone is trippin' out over the taste. It's like candy, I shit you not!

I want to try the Citrus formula and see if it makes my strains taste different. Or maybe even a mix of the berry and citrus together?

The PH in my system runs a little higher, usually 6.5. Humidity levels are usually around 35 to 40, res temp is kept under 68 and temp in the flower room have been getting up to 81.

I also noticed my time switch had moved to around 30 secs on and 5 min off.

I have changed the res out and ran clearex for a few hours and now back onto regular nutes and have will leave the pump running continuously for the next few hours.

Thanks for any further opinions and help regarding the pictures.

Your humidity is too low...

40% is the low end.
50% is ideal.
60%+ can cause mold problems.
Marijuana likes a mildly humid environment.

Thank of where the best outdoor pot grows. Along the Northern CA coast, Oregon forests, Hawaii, etc...

All these places share the common factor of perfect temps and mild humidity.

Dude, I've made more mistakes than all of you put together. Trial and error with an emphasis on the error part...

ok i tried searching the thread because i know it was mentioned before, ive heard that you can have green lights on in your flower room during the dark hours. anyone know exactly what lights to use? i saw a load of them in menards, even green cfl's. is any green light good to use, and how do you know?
Click to expand...
Any green light will work. Personally I prefer to do my maintenance during lights on so I can see better.

I use a flashlight if I do check my nutes and water during lights out.

Light mover is up and running! I am expecting big things with this addition.

Also, check out what I cloned! These cloner's are the shit! Thought I lost this strain, but it's on it's way back:hump:

The cloner is amazing. I've cloned buds too. WTF? is there anything we can't clone.

Once I put a pencil in the cloner and a tree started to grow:shock:.

Psych!!!:mrgreen:

Hey Rep
I've been looking at the LEDs too. Is yours a tri band? White or Orange?

Do you plan to lower the LED, or is that not necessary with the hi power ones?

350w tri band with orange.

I lowered it about 8" with the light mover already. The LED is now ~18" above the netting. I can probably lower it another 6" if I do something about those top supports. Been thinking of removing them until they get under the HPS anyway.. which should make room.

I will probably have to get an AC unit because of the one 1000w hps anyway:? but I'm already saving 300watts @ 20/24hrs and 650watts @ 12/24rs due to LEDs (and no additional heat) so at least it evens out.

As for lowering not being necessary? I have never found a good answer to that. You would think the manufacturer would provide a recommendation, but they don't. The trick is coverage of course. To cover the areas they claim to cover you would need to be 3'+ above the canopy. However, I'm also not sure that closer is better... at least to a point it is better, but I have no idea where. The light mover makes it possible to go very close--I would go 6" above but that would only cover one flower unit.... so pros and cons :) I have been getting good results so far with LED's about 15-18" above and haven't tried much else yet.

I wonder if there is any way that the first ever post on this thread could be edited to provide a summary of the things you will need and instructions on how to do the Stinkbud system (links, etc). It may help the endless repetitive questions that get discussed every ten pages or so.

Hey stink Im having trouble finding a timer that will let me do 1 min on 5 off like you have... any ideas?

I'm using the CAP ART-DNe timer. It is adjustable but the knobs are easy to move accidentally.

CAP makes a timer with 1 min on and 4 minutes off that has no knobs and is cheaper too. That's the one I would buy now.

Good luck bro!:peace:

Read the thread. this was discussed about a half dozen times now. Recently too. lol

Growing pot is just one small aspect of being a StinkBuddy. As a true SB you are required to always help others. Even if it is painful.

What is a StinkBuddy?
We stop for people crossing the street.
We help old ladies with their groceries.
We hold the door open for others.
We help others...

Remember our slogan "Spread the love". No one ever said it would be easy.:peace:

Thanls for answering all my questions stink..i can always count on ya man! and following in your footprints i had an idea. I am seriously thinking of adding a either 400 or a 1000 metal halide to the center of my 4 600 HPS lights...kind of like the center dot on the #5 on dice. then put my new flower plants in the center for the 3 weeks then move to the sides after 3 weeks. All the plants in the room would benefit big time with the addition.

what do you think?

Once i get the bottom trimming down better (a must when using 600s i have found) and with the addition of a center MH, This room will be INSANE!
