Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Convince me that we "All" are grown ups...once again you've sucked me back in but I'm out AGAIN.

The outdoor soil growers around here get a pound per plant every season!

If you veg any plant long enough you will get a huge harvest.

Some people are actually better off with soil. My system is kind of loud when the water is running. Sounds like a mini waterfall when all my pumps are running! I love the sound but It's not exactly stealth if you know what I mean.

Sorry Stink I didn't clarify, I was mainly referring to indoor growing.

Could you give me a rundown Stink of what you see the pro's and cons are of this, in your opinion?

1. 30 plants each, one set of 30 in soil and another 30 in aero.

With that said what are the pros and cons of each system in your opinion Stink? I ask this as per your admission you were a long time grower in soil.

Thanks man.

Well, you do have a point. lol Its all good . So,Stinkbud,just want to tell you that the lastes picks look awesome. Keep up the good work.

Off the top of my head here ya go

Soil - slow growth, pain to take clones, easy to grow - water every couple of days
Aero - super fast growth, super easy to take clones, requires more attention - need to watch plants more, check on res, etc.

I was wondering why soil plants are harder to clone, Do they just take longer to root? I've been taking cutting from my brothers soil moms for years, have I been shooting myself in the foot this whole time?
Thanks to everybody on this thread, I've learned more in 120 pages (wow) than in 8 years of trial and error on my own
cheers.

Don't be too offended by some of the guys around here. You may not have come across as the caring person I'm sure you really are. Sometimes how you say something is more important than what you are saying.

Anyway, thank you very much for expressing your concerns in regards to the Federal Laws. Many of us around here are actually quite knowledgeable in regards to both Federal and State laws but appreciate your help.

Here in my state I can have 6 mature plants and 18 plants under 12" tall/wide for each patient. I can also have 1.5lbs. of dried material per patient.

As long as I don't have over 99 plants, not dealing, don't cross state lines etc. jurisdiction falls back to the State (where it is legal).

Also, you have to look at it like a Federal Agent. If you had a limited budget and had the choice of fighting the Mexican Mafia in CA or busting some guy growing medicine in a closet for cancer patients, which would you choose?

You don't have to grow a pound. But if you don't, I'll kill your fucking dog. (just kidding...)

Many people involved in this thread are modifying the design and making it smaller to fit their own medicinal needs. It's all about getting medicine in people's hands, what ever it takes.

One more important StinkBud tip. If you do end up in jail and have a cellmate named Bubba, eventually he will want to play house. Warning! Even if you pick daddy he will still make you suck mamma's dick!

Have a nice day bro!

Soil Positives:
1) Good organic soil sets the taste standard.
2) It's easy to move plants around.
3) ehhh...did I mention it tastes good?

Soil Negatives:
1) Getting rid of all the soil gets old.
2) Dirt is dirty.
3) Soil dust + sweat = mud.
4) Having to keep each plant watered just right.
5) Pests love soil.
6) Slow growth compared to Aero.
7) It's hard to get a complete flush without drowning your plants.
Hauling big bags of soil in and out of your house is not exactly stealth.

Hydro Positives:
1) Fast growth rates.
2) Tastes as good as soil when organic nutes are used.
3) Easy cleaning and maintenance.
4) Easy to flush.
5) No heavy lifting (I have a bad back).
6) Stealth.
7) Reduced pests.

Hydro Negatives:
1) Blisters on your fingers from all the trimming.
2) Stoned all the time.
3) The sound of running water makes me want to pee.

You can take cuttings from soil plants just fine.

Just watch out for pests. If the cuttings come from outdoors, assume they have bugs. A quick spray of Neem oil will do the trick.

Stink..u have it goin on man...u need to be in High Times....i've learned alot from this thread and assure u that i am going to use this info and have me some dank from here on out..thanks for all the info you have gave......

how long can the plants go unwatered for before there in no chance of bouncing back? I just suffered a tragic powerstrip malfunction and am wondering if I should hold out hope or just dump them in the trash?

Yo stink I'm pretty sure we are in the same state. Are you a member of the OGF? You should teach a class.

I just got my card a while back and am definatly gonna use your Aero setup.

Also thanks again for all the time and knowledge you have put into this thread to get us Aero newbies up and going.

Sorry to hear about the problem. Even a battery backup wouldn't have saved you.

I would keep trying until they are for sure dead. Plants can wilt and loose a lot of leaves and still live.

If they are cutting only a few days old I would start from scatch.

Is it possible to flower and harvest a plant inside of 12". Could it be done through LST? Shape and prune it into a 12" x 12" x 12" cube

sadly i am on week 7 of 10, but happily they are showing encouraging signs of life. I gave em a flush with h2o2 and they look like they are perking up, I'll know more once the lights come on.
Thanks for the reply I was getting ready to toss em, once I was done punching holes in my wall.

I almost got a tear when I say my first rooted clone.
Funny how it's the worst looking( slighty yellowing) one. Hopefully they all start coming along now.

it's not my first time cloning, but it's the first time i the aero unit. I want to post pixs but I can't on this phone. As soon as I get on a laptop I'll show you.

My babies are coming along great Stink! Here's a couple of shots from this morning.

If you run up against this problem, you can always water by hand some or raise your water level so you have your roots always in water to keep them hydrated. Then, give your top roots a drink by hand a few times a day.

Even if your plants turn color, as long as there is some green you can bring them back, but of course as late in the grow as you are, it would depend on what is left whether or not it is going to be worth it or not. The areospray will bring back a lot of plants from the brink, I have seen it and I have just recently watched it. From almost dead clones back to life again with only the center of the top of the clone green with no roots to a beautiful plant in a mater of about 5 days.

Good Luck!

I doubt that will be a problem for you. I know I wouldn't call you for bail money in fact, you would be the last person I would ask for bail money.
I would be honored to be able to help anyone on this forum in anyway I can, even bail money, if I could. I would even help you if you needed it, but it appears you are not in the need of anything there wannabe. No need for friends, help, or anything else because you are a rock. You are solid, dude. Rocks never need help or friends, they just sit and dissolve as time goes by.

I hope you learn to love people someday. It is a lot more fun, lemme tell ya!
