hey guys, looking for some advice about strains.
almost a given, I'm bound to make some mistakes with my first batch on the SB system
wondering which strain is a strong/forgiving and recommended to start my first batch with

it will prob be a medium size Indica, due to 7' grow space height limit
I'm naturally drawn to few legendary strains id like to run at some point
AK47, Chronic, Kali Mist, OG Kush, White Russian, White Widow
whats your guys take on these for a fairly SB newbie operator ;-)

its a very easy first timer plant and is hardy. good all around one to keep even once you have the system dialed in. Im keeping it to use as a standard to breed from:bigjoint: and blueberry for my personal tasty treats.

I went with BB and Jack Herer for my first grow. I would reccomend going with some feminized seeds, sure sucks to see a big beautiful plant grow some balls! I wish I had Kali Mist and AK-47 though, I love a good energy high!

ok, I'm worried that my timer is going to fry with the 3 pumps hooked up to it. I'm wondering how many of you guys (or gals) have 3 or more pumps hooked up to your Art DNE. The timer is supposed to be rated for 15 amps and that should be well within the range, right?

im not sure what page its on but a little ways back they were talking about your start up amperage being high enough on all 3 to cook the timer. theres some pics and discussion on using a contactor, i think its andyman thats did that one.

I believe that an ECO396 has a starting draw of 8Amps, if you could stagger them going on by a few seconds you should be ok. Starting them all at the same time will eventually cause your expensive timer to fail.

Andyman has a great work-a-round, check out his photo album called projects. You can incorporate your timer into it with no problems, basically the contactor controls the pumps and your ART-DNe controls the contactor on/off. The only load on your ART-DNe is the contactor on a seperate circuit than your pumps.

Stink Bud is there ANY way I could get a signed copy of your High Times cover? I will send it to you or Pay Pal you and you send one to me so you can maintain your privacy? I would gladly donate a little extra for the Stink Bud Cause so you can pass on more love. I just feel it would be an honor since you are such a great guy! I am sure I am not the ONLY one. We could pitch in to get you a PO Box or something.:bigjoint:Peace brother and I riding the Karma Train! You are an inspiration Bro!

Hey Stink:
How do you handle the co2 during the flushing cycles? I was under the impression that co2 at the flushing cycle would decrease the potency so it was wise to cut the co2 off during this period. well if we are sog, dont we always have some plants in flush or close to flush so when is the co2 cut off? I ask because im am at a refill time on my co2 and I can see a difference on this 2nd batch over the 1st in that the 1st had plenty co2 and i got pretty good yield out of it, while the 2nd batch has only had 1 wk of co2 b4 the tank ran out and its looking way smaller than the 1st at this time, the 2nd batch is at around 5wks now and it will be fri b4 i get the tank back so then it will only be a couple days of co2 b4 the 6th wk which begins flush for the 2nd batch. an so forth an so forth , do you see where im am getting confused here?

here is a 3 pole so you could run 3 power strips off it up to 40-50amps of start up pumps.http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ABB-Definite-Purpose-Contactor-DP40C3P-1-3pole-120v_W0QQitemZ280272331759QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item280272331759&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

this one is a double pole 30 amp like I used, good price exept shipping is a bit high http://cgi.ebay.com/New-DEFINITE-PURPOSE-Contactor-110V-Coil-600V-30A-2Pole_W0QQitemZ200303799657QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Circuit_Breakers_Transformers?hash=item200303799657&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50

try these at graingers or other stores that have heat/ac parts or hot tub parts maybe. any home lighting or power breaker kinda store will have a def purpose contator. http://by.optimost.grainger.com/go/298-3232/a01103r0702523i0po16132523i0q3136ccd4/?oplink=http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/productIndex.shtml?operator=prodIndexRefinementSearch&originalValue=120v+contactor&L1=Contacts%2C or http://by.optimost.grainger.com/go/298-3232/a01103r0702523i0po16132523i0q21ja68cb/?oplink=http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/productIndex.shtml?operator=prodIndexRefinementSearch&originalValue=120v+contactor&L1=Contactors%2C

Just make sure you get one using 110-120 v.a.c. not 24v like many furnases use, hope this helps:bigjoint:

Ok guys this is my first aero/ntf grow and I need some help.
I belive I have some leaf tip burn from adding the nuits to early maybe?.
also the bottom of the stawks are swelling and cracking/getting bigger or looking bruised or something. Its only on a few and the rest are fine. Same with the leaf burn its only a few. The roots are all long as hell most in the water allready (and its a 45 g tote) most are just over 2 weeks by maybe a day or 2. These are all from bag seed to test first exept the 3 power skunk are from seed about a week old. My ph down wont be here for 2 more days cause I orderd a gallon. its at 7.1 rt now and I think this is causing the stem problem on the few. :wall: the ppm is at 1360 for now. Does any one know if these are nuit locked or had theres look like this before. The one leaf I have pictured is set out over night so thats why it looks so dry.
Stinbud or stinkbuddys please tell me what ya think. I feel like an overprotective mother. lol:bigjoint:
Thanks for everyones help
peace
