I have been followin your thread, I too am a registered medical patient, I also built your little cloner that you have here. I like it , its cool. i wanted to ask your opinion on the supplement SWEET. I read you like using it, do you get a noticable difference form using it? i also was told by the grow shop here that you should use hygrozyme when using sweet , does this ring a bell? I thought it was for taste, but i guess you should use hygrozyme with it?
Hygrozyme has nothing to do with Sweet!

Sweet will enhance the taste and smell of your buds.

Hygrozyme is used if you have some funky shit growing in your reservoir.

Do I have to have a different setup for cloning and the rest? I mean if I have a aero clone and a aero grow setup dont I just need to change the lighting when I want to switch stages?
You could easily just use the Aero/NFT system for your whole grow. I like harvesting every three weeks though. I also like taking clones from my plants in veg. That way I can run 10 different strains and I don't have to maintain 10 mother plants.

I am trying to pick seed to grow that flower around 9 weeks. The plants I am growing have blue squares. The purple dots are the plants I was thinking about. I would love a lot of the clone only strains like purple kush but I am limited to what can be bought from like Doc Chronic

Any recommended strains I could find seeds for?

I started with an aero system I bought online. I have retired that system and now I'm just using my designs only.
Thanks Stinkbud
couldn't help it, ended up spending a few hours at home depot, as soon as i was able to compile the list of parts needed to complete the project off your plans
i was able to get 85% of the items at home depot accept for the 2” Net Pots, 2” Neoprene Collars, EZ-Clone Sprayers
and the 18 Gal. Rubbermaid Roughneck Containers with the black top, also where did you pick up the blue ones?
(i was able to find them on Rubbermaid.com, a search online at most major retail stores yield nothing )
if you don't mind sending me in the right direction for these item(greatly appreciated)


couldn't find size info for the Fence Posts used with your design
checked booth "Aero_NFT Assembly Instructions vers 1_1.pdf" & "aero_nft_ver1_1.pdf"
i was checking home depot for the Fence Posts they carry, they are 3.5" wide 10' long, they have different sort of round end to them

Thanks dragon for the help,

and thank you Stinkbud. I can see how everwhelming all the questions about the system can be and i will start to help out when i can.

Hey SOG let me help you. If you have a hydro store near, they will most definaetly have the 2'' netpots, collers and sprayers. If not then your best bet is to order them online.

The fence posts stinkbud reccomends are 4inch wide by 4ft long.
I found mine at a fence instalation company. They didnt have them at my home depot so i did a search and found a fence company. I told them what i needed and they even cut them down to 4 ft for me, they even cut the caps like i wanted, no extra charge.

hope that helps.

It always takes a least a week if not longer than what the breeders say. Nine weeks is way too short for anything with Haze in it.

If they say 8 weeks than actually means it takes more like 9 weeks for a nice finish. Silver Haze takes 10-12 weeks for a nice finish.

These are all great choices but I would pick the ones that say they finish in 8 weeks.

If I could only grow one strain it would be Blueberry hands down! It's beyond great!

I really appreciate the help from you and Dragon. You guys are a little bit ahead of the rest of the class. If you know the answer please feel free to help. Especially on these questions that you know have been asked 10 times already!

This isn't my thread, this is OUR thread. It's here for everyone to learn from. Including me!:peace:

Well then i guess the guys at the shop don't know what they are talking about. When i asked about sweet, they told me to use hygrozyme with it! From what i understood use sweet in conjunction with hygrozyme.

First let me just say thanks to stinky and dirth and everyone else in this 83 page thread (which took me 2 days to finish reading). You guys have helped so many people so much more than you realize.

As my small contribution, I put stink's instructions together in printable PDF format complete with the higher resolution pictures, and the diagrams originally posted.

Harvest a Pound Every 3 weeks

I'm trying to figure out a way to run the same system, but just scaled way down. I was thinking about using something like your small 6-hole setup but have veg on one side and flower on the other. Instead of one reservoir, I'd use two smaller ones (one with veg nutes and the other with flower nutes).

Would it be a problem for the veg plants to have 12/12 light? I know they wouldn't grow as big, but for me that would be fine.

Would the plants veg enough under 12/12 to pull clones from? What if I had the light on 24/0 for the clone stage?

I have a medical marijuana card and I am also a provider for several cancer patients. I lost my father and aunt to cancer. My mother has also lost a breast to cancer. I'm on a mission!

If a patient needs medicine and it takes 12 weeks before their first harvest, what do they do in the mean time? That's where I come in...

I can have 6 mature plant and 18 plants under 12" per patient. I can also have 1.5lbs. of dried material per patient.

This is the main reason I always keep my veg plants under 12" high.

It's my destiny to help others and I do what whatever it takes...
i bow to the master. thats what this whole damn game should be about. not even through the first few pages i have goose bumps.

not sure which way ill be heading yet, check these out

first image, I'm planing on clipping twice to get four main stems growing in one plant
note!!! ill be placing the fence tube in the center while maintaining the outer support
this will allow support for four stem plant which will prob need longer period to grow due to the clipping
going for 12 week cycle period broken down to 6 trays with 3-4 sites each

second image is pretty much a scaled down version of Stink's 14 site design
this route will allow me to use Stink's 3 week cycle with less sites

You can 100% NOT veg under 12/12 light. Cannabis knows when to flower based on the photoperiod - i.e. how much light it receives in a day. Veg occurs during longer days - like in the summer - and flower and bloom when the days get shorter - like in winter. If you want to veg your plants you should give them between 16-24 hours of light a day. If you want your plants to bloom you should give them 12 hours of darkness a day. If you continue to give the plants 16-24 hours of light a day they will veg indefinately or until the plant dies. Remember the plant is an annual meaning it's vegetative and flowering period occur within the same year so it's not really natural to keep the plant vegging for a long period of time. The plant wants to veg and bloom in the same year. We are just recreating what occurs in nature in a controlled environment. It's also the ONLY annual in the PLANT KINGDOM that has both a male and female sex. It really is a beautiful wonderful piece of nature. If you try to veg under 12/12 light all that will happen is that you will be forcing the plant to bloom and if its not ready to bloom this will cause all sorts of stress to the plant. Also it's not recommended to take clones from a flowering plant. YES it can be done but it's much better to take during veg. The reason is that the plant chemistry is different from veg and bloom. When you try to go from bloom back to veg it causes stress and the clones will take longer to root, etc. etc.

In Master Stinkbud's system the clones are taken from the veg plants. There are TONS of shoots to take clones from...trust me there will be NO shortage of clones. When taking clones you want to be sure they come from a mature plant - that is to say you want to be able to see the preflowers - and you want to be sure they are female if you want bud. This way your clones are fully mature and capable of blooming at any point you choose to force flowering. This way you should be able to always have females as well - unless of course you want males and that's a different story.

Sorry this ended up being so long...but I'd want to know if I was new as well.

i was able to find all needed components at a local hydro shop to complete the project
last item I'm missing is the fence posts, which i believe i have located at Lowe's
please see my previous post

...you can 100% NOT veg under 12/12 light...
OK. Can I veg under 24 hour light? Or clone under 18/6? I looked at the plans again, and it does call for clones to be under 24 hour light, so can I stick the vegging plants there? I'm trying to minimize space by setting up two areas instead of three.

What do you think of cloning and vegging in 5 gallon buckets? Clone in one bucket and veg in two buckets, it would be just like the plans but in smaller containers. The difference would be putting them under the same light.
