ok going with aero and co2 and romulus genetics i have doubled almost tripled my size of buds from hempy (vermiculite and perlite with hydro nutes)
here are a few pics
my advice is to invest in the cloner and the best genetics u can afford
then add a veg........and then a flowering unit
add co2 (either tank or generator) and u will be on your way to an amazing harvest
Yeah! Wow - lookin' good!

Nice buds Dago! I have a pretty good harvest coming up soon too.
These are at day 49. 2 weeks left.

I have a question that im sure has been talked about before... how do you go about transplanting from the stink veg unit, into outdoor pots with soil?
Good job, Dirt - killer as always!

If you plan ahead - I like to cut away all of the net pot except the collar section - for transplanting to soil this makes the job a piece of cake... otherwise - just take the neoprene sleeve off and leave the net cup when you transplant. I have torn the cups off of rooted clones too - they survived though they took a couple weeks to get back on track.

Ok, does this system sound ok?

I'll have a cloner/veg system under some CFLs that I have (276w daylight), and a single flowering system with 2 posts, 2 holes in each and a 400w HPS . I am going to use each arm for different stages of flowering. Without CO2 is it resonable to expect an Oz per plant?
Yes 1 oz per plant is possible for sure! Depending upon the strain, genetics, and other environmental conditions, you could yield more - though sharing a res with plants in different stages of flowering, may present issues... particularly where the flush is concerned.

Thank God for this forum. Thanks aero, newhiddengrower, lionsroor and maybetommorrow.
Thanks for the specs on the insulation lion, I will probably try a little of the methods.
Luckily I'm on cement floors downstairs, so, I just have to dump the little cups that fill up while I'm at work.
I'll report back with some results.
Thanks again. :peace:

Hey Maybe, I think I'm on about the same schedule as you. I should finish up first week of July or so (without Co2). I only had 2 of my original 6 seeds turn out with meat curtains, but they each have their own 600W HPS and reservoir. LOL. Both White Rhinos. Both looking good, starting to really bunch up with hairs/growth at the bud sites.
Good luck bro.
Wow - I love how those work for single plants.... nice, clean setup!

Now I just gotta figure out how to hook this up...

I got 2 used IceBoxes, and a 1/4 hp chiller today, along with some other killer stuff... Thank You Craigs List kiss-ass

I'm told I need a regular pump (circulate) and a sump pump to lift the H2O.

I have this pump sitting in my tool shed, doing nothing but collecting dust. http://www.goulds-pump.net/goulds-SP025V.html

It looks like its a 1/4 HP pump... will I blow the fittings off the IceBox's with this thing? I can't find the GPH anywhere on the pump... Ok to use?

I have the instruction sheets from the IceBox, and they are vague about rez sizes and only show one pump in the diagrams...


This is the chiller I got

aye cuz... i have the same blue res and light still gets thru and now im having that smily goo problem. find away to block light from getting and and keep some hygrozyme on deck...
Thanks for the heads up on that! I have heard of others experiencing light leaks with the dark blue Rubbermaid tubs. I think I may use less light than you, or I have simply been lucky! I have not had a problem yet (knock on wood) with 6 full clone batches and 3 veg batches. Over the cloner I use a simple 2 x 24" shop light with CoolWhite tubes - set about 10 inches above the lid. For veg, I use a 4 x 2' T5 light setup - that I never put closer than 18" or so to the Rubbermaid lid. During veg, so much of the tub is shaded by foliage, that very little light seems to penetrate the lid.

While light is most often the catalyst for algae-based sludge, slime, etc, there are other issues that can arise from contaminated surfaces. Block the light, but be sure all your containers are clean as possible too. I know, I am anal when it comes to germs and bacteria, but I truly believe that cleanliness contributes to bigger yields and helps to ward off unwanted issues.

Yeah - Hygrozyme sounds like good stuff - thanks - I will try it.

In the pic below, the clones are at day 5 - taken from the veg plants on the right which are at day 18.

As I near the end of my first two flower batches with the Stink system, I was looking over some pics... I managed to get 3 shots of the same plant of OG at day 1, day 25, and day 57 of flower. This particular plant will certainly yield an ounce+. The net trellis in the first shot is placed about 12", the third shot at day 57, the same plant is over 5 feet!

Thanks, Stink - you are the man!

Hey im lacking clones, could i take clones from plants that are flowering for 4 days?
I have a cutting that was cut from a plant 5 weeks into flowering. It took a while for it to grow roots and to convert back to veg. but it is healthy and growing nicely. So your answer is yes. A couple of days in flowering is fine.

Hey Stinkers - I'm just finishing up a complete cycle for my first two flower units. I went with triple post units that each hold 18 plants. Here are a few shots at day 58. I could have gone longer but we need medicine ASAP.

I like this first pic - shows 2 flower batches with a veg batch in the background... artsy!

I've been flushing a little over a week... one batch with Clearex, the other with Sweet.

Thanks again, Stink - and to all the rest of you... could not have done it without you!

hey everyone, im back. i have been away for awhile . well anyways my lease is up on monday , and im deciding if i want to move into a house with my friend (i would consider him more a school acquaintance that has the benefit of smoking with me to pass the time, or i move into a 1 bedroom apartment.
my other question is if i move into a 1 bedroom apartment, can anyone tell me if this would be a good idea to have my own little grow op, only 1 600 watt hps and assorted fans and stinks system. inside either a tent, or a metal cabinet or a closet grow. im kinda stoned right now and its taking me 10 minutes to write all of this and not to sound like an idiot . heheh. well i dont want to hijack the thread, so if you want to answer my question can you send me a message with your answer with hopefully an experience or lead me in the right direction. i would appreciate it ,thanks .
-jj

The flowering system takes up alot of room i dont think your apartment will have enough room unless you use the living room or bedroom.

The cloner/veg is great though

Tilt it!

Wall unit - as in window unit, right? They must be mounted so they tilt towards the outside - so the water runs out the back, rather than inside. Note - this water will contain odors that can be detected by trained dogs. For most window units, it is hard to capture the waste water within the room, as there is not a proper run off valve - but it is sometimes possible. This makes for a more secure and efficient system - as the run off is good 0 ppm water that you can reuse.

the problem is that the back of the AC is my hall way!
