Also with a cycle timer the plants are setting in air for 5 minutes at a time. Can't get more oxygenated than that!

I see.. that makes sense.

I was one of the ones earlier having drifting pH issues in the cloner.. some gunk was growing.. it looked like snot. Anyway, after cleaning out the rubberneck and refilling, I threw in an air stone, turned it on, and haven't had a problem since! pH is very stable now, and the water smells fresh. I suppose it could be a coincidence, but I like it :blsmoke:

Here's my test: soil vs aero for one week. First pic. Left is aero, right is soil.. the aero is growing at least twice as fast, but I'm thinking it will be more like 2-3X.

Next pic.. couldn't help it! Just a few weeks left before these can be put into use!

Yesterday 01:58 PMtorrey420Hey Stinkbud and other experts, what do you use to adjust your PH levels?

I have a solution now that really raises the ppm when I use it. I believe stink said he just uses GH ph up and down not any fancy organic ph up

lookin good repvip!!!

question for anyone who knows.

Right now i have a 435 cfm exhaust fan sucking air through my passive intake vent and exhausting up into the attic.
eventually i will have 4 600 watt aircooled hoods.
can i just hook up the aircooled hoods to the exhaust fan, that way the air in the room will have to pass through the lights before heading out into the attic?

or is it better to just have a seperate fan pulling air from a different room to cool the hoods (totally seperate)

Well Dirt I don't have an answer par say, but I do know that my vent will be hooked up like that. I just have the 1 1000w, and I'm going to put glass over the hood, and I'm making a 4 inch flange for my reflector. This will draw air from the room into the hood( through existing vents) and then out the exhaust. I think it should work pretty well in my room to keep the temps down, I hope anyways!

You're better off venting through the lights unless your room is cold.

When I grow outside I allways take my fishtank filters and put them in a bucket of warm water and shake them up like a big tea bag. after I let them sit for about 10 min the water is brown/green with fish poo and fish food that didnt get eaten. When I pour this on my outdoor plants you can see fast growth in the next few days. My question is could I add a little of my homebrew tea to your setup, as im building it now. I still want to grow outdoor when I can using all the extra clones and veg girls I should have using your system.
thanks
also ive been re reading from the the start and seem to be overlooking your spacing in the flowering unit. im running full 8" post that our going to be 5" diameter. in a 10'x9'x 7'high room for flowering
again thanks for all the help

I'm mostly building mine the way I am cus I can't afford an actual air cooled reflector right now. The one I have is built for a piece of glass, and I'm gonna put the flange on it to make it air cooled, I unfortunatly can't put a flange on both ends, so I'm just workin with what I have. I gotta take and get the metal cut and welded some time this month, so its ready for the new year. I figured if I put like a 450-500 cfm fan, and an inline carbon filter, it would take care of venting, and air filtration in one shot. I'll just have a passive intake, and my basment stays a steady 65 degrees, so I hope this will take care of my heat!

StinkBud, I'm currently on page 55 over multiple sessions totaling about 7 hours :)

But I see you really put alot of time into this - the blueprints, instructions, answering everybodies questions and even acting as google for a few, I just wanted to say thanks.

So Thanks. Alot. Really.

hello stinkbud,
one question abou the cycles.. i know that you run 3 systems, but would it be possible to take cuttings after the first week of flowering..leave them 4 weeks to generate roots and another 4 weeks in veg before taking them into flowering again. i dont want to use mothers, but since the flowering cycle takes 9 weeks its the only option i have...

This system has no mothers! Thats the beauty of it, you have 1 cloner system, 1 veg system and 3 flowering units. Take clippings from the Veg plants and you have 9 weeks of flower with the 3 flowering system rotating. Every 3 weeks you are harvesting, rotating plnats from cloner to vegger to flower, very simple and awesome setup!

hey stink what do you think of using a fogger system instead of sprayers on the flower unit? i posted i neat video from u tude but i guess the powers that be did not like it sorry. do you ever have problems with sprayers getting cloged? this sysem gust had the pump feeding a short piece of fence post on top of the front holes and a small nebulizer inside found on fleabay for around 25 bucks. what are your thoughts?

I do it all the time. I've even taken cuttings from plants 3 weeks into flower. I also only need 14 veg plants so I leave another 15 in the cloner for another 3 weeks. Same with veg. I have 18 holes but only need 14 for flower.

Check it out, towards the end of flowering my Blueberry will start to grow little tiny male pistils. Not even flowers, it looks like the blade of a male flower. There is only a few and they come during the last two weeks.

One time I took one of those little flowers and I put in on my Snowbud plant. It worked! I got about a dozen seeds. Out of 10 seeds only 2 germinated. One was too small so it ended up in the trash. The other plant did really well but it looked exactly like my Snowbud so I didn't bother taking any cuttings.

Boy was I wrong! The plant ended up being as good as it gets. It turned all purple and is dank as fuck. I was kicking my self for not taking any cuttings. Or so I thought...

I just harvested and was moving my system around and found two of the plants in the back! So I had taken cuttings and just forgot. The plants are three weeks into flower though. Not a problem, I just took some cuttings from the very bottom and put them in the cloner. I had to do this with my Skunk a couple of weeks ago and they are already rooted and in veg.
