Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

im wondering if using hard water if i would even need cal/mag?
was planning on using 50% rev os and 50% basic filtered well water
can anyone compare the buds they grew with normal nutes like gh3 with the organic ones that stink uses? just wondering

I wouldn't be that surprised. You are only supposed to need 3 days when you run Clearex. I've tried it and it still need a few more days.

If you remember right last time I ran Clearex for 7 days straight and plain water the last day. They came out great!

5 days with Clearex and 1 day plaint water may be all you need.

I've also sampled buds from plants with no flush at all and they still taste a hell of a lot better than most of the shit out there!

Organic nutes are the shit. Bird shit to be exact.

Thanks Stink. Im gonna try that.

cool man they look good. so do you bud them out in that too?

Stinkbud your system is by far the best I have seen. And you have everything so well laid out....

Hey Rep, did you grow those power skunks too finish? I have 2 flowering now and the buds are sparse! I have 2 clones from them but unless the smoke is unbelievable I think I;m just gonna toss those for some more Jack herer clones, doubt the PS is better than JH!

nope. you might be able to search my previous posts and see how far I got... I was pretty gung-ho on how great they were supposed to be. ended up flowering for 10 weeks under a 1000HPS.. interesting how a supposed "skunk" never even smelled... or produced trichomes.. I finally said this is ridiculous and got rid of them. I had 2 sets of other plants finish in the same time I was trying to flower that crap.

Obviously I don't recommend them.. maybe mine were all duds, but I doubt it.

hey guys, doing the p skunk and I got two females from my 5 pack. I'm letting them do their thing off to the side. Very small buds and big ass internodle length. I have problems killing female plants so I might have to flower mine for 4 months or whatever it takes. I hope my pure gold freebee seed don't suck too.

Here is my Skunk at 12 weeks and it still looks like it needs another month!!!!

I put it in soil because I was curious to see how long it actually takes to finish.

Hope I'm not boring you guys with more photos but I figure if I like photos maybe you guys do to.

I'm letting the system on the left go until the Elvy and AK47 finish. It looks like it might take awhile.

The system on the right is almost all Blueberry.

I got so pissed off at the Shishkaberry in the middle that I gave it a haircut. I had already bent the tops down twice, raised the lights and they were still growing into the lights.

So I busted out the scissors...
Little bitch ain't so tough now!

Check out how I modified my 6-hole unit to fit within my bathtub.

StinkBud those look delicious. I can't wait to build the flowering units. Unfortunately, I only have 4' clearance so I am going to have to put the resevoirs beneath the floor and let the fence posts set almost on the floor and go straigt from the cloner to flower. I will have to keep mothers in the veg but that is the great thing about your system it is the concept not the exact design. My blueberry is in dirt and 2 feet high at the beginning of week 4. Thick and dense though. Still all organic and smelling DANK though!
I wished my Bubblegum looked like yours. It is just been in flower for 10 days though and still a little stretchy. The aircooled1000HPS will fix that though over the next 11-12 weeks huh?

lol mmmm..dats was i should name it the welches juice factory haha, i cant wait til i have it set up today. Thank You again for postin this Thread Stinky. ur da shit.. ill post up pics if i can get this digital camera to work still.. oh yea.. and i was wondering if i would have to even hook up an exaust to the lights? or jus vent the room? i was thinking exaust jus to make the lights run cooler?

StinkBud said:

Holy shit bro! Your room is going to smell like the Welches juice factory!

I would just hang the lights in a square pattern like dirt did. Maybe he can post a pic for you.

I wouldn't be surprised to see you pull a pound out every three weeks. Emm...That would be a good title for a thread.

Best of luck to you bro!

I have the same issue with my light. The fan only runs when the light comes on and simply pulls attic air through and back into attic. I have seen some burns where it drips on the plants and then gets magnified by the light. I am pretty sure that the cooler air pulled through causes the moisture to collect on the outside because warm air holds more moisture than cold so where it contacts cold it condenses. How are you planning on fixing it? I may not have to because I am putting my light on a mover and the the light won't be intense constantly plus I am about to increase circulation.

You are correct on how and why the water is condensating on my duct work. What i am doing now is trying to find the sweet spot on the fan i have to cool the light where its only pulling enough air to cool the light to keep it at about 78f in my room. I may also swap out my aluminum duct for the insulated fiberglass type.(I have a small portion that i have the insulated type where the air get pulled into the room that does not have that moisture problem, seems to be only on the aluminum and some on the light) I will also be getting a dehumidifer soon. I figure if i can suck the moisture out the air it wont collect on the ducting.

For the time being i may try the rock salt wraped in cheese cloth hanging over buckets dehumidifer trick to see if this helps.

StinkBud said:

Unless you are running CO2 you are better off pulling the air from grow room and venting that into the attic.

If your room is too cold put a timer on the fan and adjust it until you get the proper room temps.

You want it on a timer anyway because you don't need to vent at night.

I'm am actually setting up my room to use co2 in a closed vent when i need to setup.

Where this is set up is super insulated and maintains a constant temp of 67 to 69f but if i dont use the vented light it will skyrocket to +92f with 0% humidity in no time and the fans in the room do nothing to cool.

my fan only comes on with the light and i am closing in on the speed i need to run it to keep it a nice 75 to 78f. i tried putting it on a different timer where it would come on every other 15 minutes ( I also tried many different timing configurations) but there was too much of a temp fluctuation and i felt this would stress my vegetation too much.

I only just started having the condensation problem as the humidity level in my area have sky rocked with the melting snow but in general i dont think i will have an issue when the snow is gone and the temps warm up.

Mine only does it sometimes where I am as well because we have had some warmer temps. I have an ac that vents the heated air it produces into the attic (I just built a box hanging out of the ceiling at one end of the room and mounted the ac in the front side of it) so it keeps the air warmer. So it is only when it is really cold that it happens. I thought about building a box above and connecting a duct over to where the intake to my hood is so the air would always be warm except mount a thermostated vent in it to keep it near my room temps. Like you I am still working out the bugs and then it will be nearing summer and everything will change agan. LOL Oh well it keeps it interesting and eventually I will have it figured out completely. Good luck with your issues.

You were exactly right. I raised the temps and had roots in 2 days. A couple more days and those puppies are out of the cloner and Fem Blueberry is going in. Thanks for the help!

I love your experiments! You are always thinking I'm curious to know how long that mofo takes! Oh, and the type of skunk?

8.0 is really high to start with.

What are your res temps? The water should be cold to the touch.

If the water even feels slightly warm, that could be your problem.

Try flushing the res with clean water and let it run for an hour or so with just plain water. Then fill the res with clean water and nutes.

Also, What are you using for water? Well, city, etc...? What's your water's starting PPM?

It's Skunk #11. I have one phenotype that finishes fairly early.

I've never finished the phenotype of the one I have in dirt.

When you are near the plant it stinks just like a skunk but when you touch the buds and smell your fingers it smells sweet. Weird...
