All kinds of stuff going on in this thread! I took off for a few days and it grew 50 pages... heck, this thread could easily be a site on its own!

Good job, Dirt! Thanks again for all the great pics and posting your journal - it has really helped me dial in my Stink setup.

Nice tip, Bubbler - what types of bulbs and reflectors do you use? ...is that 2 lbs for one 1000 watt light? You rock!

Just thought I'd give a shout of thanks to you for all the info. Here's a pic of what you can do with this system, and how it's so adaptable.

This is a closet that's 28 inches deep and 43 inches wide. I've got 6 channels in it each with 4 spots at 7 inch intervals ( 24 spots total in that little closet ). And the whole thing is only 12 inches tall. You can't see it in this picture but the closet is divided in two. This flowering section is only 4 feet tall and I've got the cloner going 24/7 in the top half of the closet

I made special drain attachments out of brass to attach tubing to. They are perfectly flat on the inside so that the water doesn't collect in the channels.

The ones on the right are just starting to bud. It's so empty in there because it was just my luck that most of my clones were male. Oh well, luckily it's easy as hell to clone with the cloner.

By the way, those Eco 396 pumps are little miracles. My last pumps from Home Dirtpile were noisy as hell. These new pumps are so quiet that I can hear the water draining with the closet door closed, but I can't hear the pump. Freaked me out the first time, I thought it was leaking. Heh.

Anyways, thanks again for the great info. You've inspired me to experiment with all sorts of stuff. Gonna try to figure out how to make LED lighting work next .

I love it - way to utilize the space!

are you making the led units or buying them?
I bought one and it works great. I wanted to make one since there is not much to it at all. I took mine apart in the first 5 min I had it. The problem is the 10mm super bright led's of these next generation lights are like $3 bucks apeace. I have recently became a light vender for a large company. My cost on them is Like $2.50-3.50 depending on the color of red or blue. They ones you buy are cheaper than making them unless you live in hong kong or china were they make them. My 112 led unit cost me less than $100 I cant buy the led's by themselfs that cheap. I really like the way my led works though. gettin ready to order some super big cfl and some hid lights next week. Maybe them led's will come down more, They allready have since last year when I started looking at them. peace

Stinkbud,
I have a question for you about the roots. I am running this same set up and Have the ph set as well as the right ppm with the chemical mix in the veg set up. I have areas of the root system that seemed to have collected nutrients or something and I don't know if anything is wrong.

As long as you're following my instructions everything will be fine.

You will notice the roots turning brown from the Liquid Karma. It's perfectly normal.

 

[StinkBud]

been looking for a way to fix clogging roots issues with the sprayers
i know that just placing them on the top will not do the job
but i still want them at the top to keep away from roots
here is what i came up with so far

I've never had any problems with sprayer clogging and I've run quite a few batches through my systems.

With NFT you don't have to worry about one sprayer going out anyway. The roots run the full length of the fence post.

As far as I know the other guys plants are doing great. If anything, the only problem we are having is the plants are too big.

I read this thread 2x now and only saw mention of possible clogging. never saw any post of a for sure clog exept were you mentioned it. This is one of those if it "aint broke dont fix it" kinda things right

quick question for you. Since I just got my nuits this week and added they have been growin super fast but, only a few have little brown spots on them kinda like the same color of cheap roast beef. (not as bad as the roast beef in jail, it has rainbow colors like gasoline in water) but very close or thats what it reminds me of. I only added to 1300 ppm and was goin to up it more next week to avoid shock. and its only a few like 2 or 3 plants. Do you think its from going from no nuits to nuits? it doesnt look like leaf tip burn or light burn like I ve seen before. thanks for the help

 

[StinkBud]

I see, I wonder, does anyone make sprayers designed to be upside down? After reading through your journal I now know why you would want to have everything ironed out as best as possible!

You guys are funny! I just had to go in and raise my lights because my plants have grown so tall. I could barley squeeze in there because my plants are so huge.

Here is a picture that shows 4 days growth.

You can put your iron away now...

OK so Stink, I've been on this thread since almost the beginning, I've been watching along, planning, and loving every bit of it. I'm currently gettting a soil grow up and running since I can't at the moment afford to step up to the Stink Bud 9000. But heres the question! I am going to be moving in October, and I would really like to move someplace where I can atleast kinda legally grow. I am going to use this grow as capitol, as well as some savings. We've thought about Colorado, but now we have been thinking more about Cali.

How hard is it to become a caregiver?
Is there much demand from dispensaries, or do you have to know someone to even be able to do business with one?
What part of Cali would you recommend for these types of goals?
Is there anywhere its atleast a bit less expensive to live?

We've been leaning more towards nothern Cali, I'd like the climate from what I've read. Any way, any good recommendations would be great guys!! Thanks TC

First thing I would do is check for pests with a magnifying glass. If there are no pests then don't worry.

Some brown spots are normal. It's also normal to see entire leaves die. No big deal just pull them off.

I usually fill a brown bag with dead leaves every batch.

Wait to you see your plants right before harvest. All the leaves will turn colors and look dead! Some of Dirt's plants turned a beautiful red color during flush.

I can't help you with the CA laws. I would recommend Oregon or Washington.

Better snowboarding, dirt biking, street biking and kite boarding. You know...the important shit in life!

No sales tax in Oregon but high income taxes. Washington has low income taxes but they add a sales tax.

So you live in Washington on the OR/WA border and buy your all your shit in Oregon.

Well I checked them with my dope scope 30x power and didnt see any pest. I figured it must just be that strain. (bag seed) I think it must be nuit shock or something since it did it rt after adding nuits or a day later. this is my first time using those organic nuits like that since ive allways done dirt before and those organics I used were in powder or solid types.

thanks for the help.
I have learned so much on this thread, Im here for the duration to keep on learning. peace

Your into dirt biking - good to know. I just joined a local motorcycle club last summer (an actual club - not a gang) and can't wait until this year. My daughter turns four in April and I'd like to get her started if mom doesn't have a coronary

 

[westmich]

attitude is great but ive never ordered there. ive only used DR.CHRONIC.here is my top list.

http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/index.asp
this place only accepts MAIL IN orders.i like this place cause they have Querkle

This is Attitude - Cannabis-seeds and Attitude are one in the same. Not sure if there was confusion in the link but they also accept credit cards.

http://www.worldwide-marijuana-seeds.com/

I had not seen them mentioned before, but I really like their site. You click on the full details of a strain and it lists other strains at the bottom that have the same grow time and height.

Thanks Bud, guess its time to let this one go

Hahaha, I totatlly agree as i siad earlier if its not broke dont fix it! But if you have checked out SOGS journal the dude is an engineer trying to take out any angle like a nasa scientist! His setup is going to rock, especially when he gets it automated. I can't wait to see how he does it so I can mimic it in my new house we are building, I got the go ahead to dedicate a whole room just for the growroom...which will happen to be convenietly be left off the blue prints!

I vegged my first plants way too long and am dealing with that super growth! Second batch went in at 10-12".
