[DoubleBubble]

i can give you guys exact diagram and places on net were to get parts get at me.[/quote]

I am definitely going to need that info. I am going to have to build a couple. Thanks to both you and Andyman.

Oh and Andyman I am still waiting on part for the gdo light mover project.

great thread

I have been doing Aero/Nft for a while and have had much better results than any dirt or hydro grow I've ever done.... by far
I think it is a much more efficient use of the lumens and nutrients
Is there any better root structure than Aero?

that brings me to my point

I know this older philippino gentleman (from the old country) who has had arthritis for years and really suffers with the pain
He knows I smoke and grow and asked if when I was done with my next round he could have the roots
He cleans them up and makes tea from them and swears by the results
Yet another positive result from a wonderful medicine

MAN its been a long time sense i laughed so hard me and my wife laughed for 30 min
i love you dude
i dont mean that in a GAY WAY
its just all the knowledge you give and the way you give your bub to cancer pat.
the world could use more people like you

Do you really want to loose all your friends?

Let me tell you what will happen. Have you ever been to a bakery. Smell all that good yeast in the fresh bread? Emmm, yummy!

That's what your house is going to smell like. All your buddies will come over and be like " Emmm, fresh bread! Bust out bro"!

And you'll be like " I ain't got no fresh bread bitch"! And then they'll be like "Fuck you, I can smell it! You just want to Bogart all the fresh bread! CYA beotch"!

Is it really worth it?

Besides, yeast dosen't work anyway...

Either does anything else beside a CO2 generator or tank.

 

[BIGTIMEROOFERR]

BIGTIMEROOFERR that yeast fermenting shit is for the birds don't do it it does not work and create enough co2 to do anything i tried. I still cant afford co2 tank your best and cheap way is get a small prpane burner you know the ones you use for camping be very careful of the carbon monoxide its deadly i turn mine on for 15minutes every 2-3 hours. Stay in their why its on they are dangerous also watch temps they will rise. after you turn it off wait a couple of minutes then turn your fans on and blower on. I don't know exactly the ppm but they are probobly close to 1500 right after you turn it off. i have seen great resuts from it. It does not beet the tank but will work till you can get a tank just more work and not as precise. Also for everyone that has built stinks system it is a good idea to build a contacter for your timer and pumps. It will save the life of them. You are runiing a good amount of amps running 5 pumps and whatever else on the same circut. It cost like 50bucks to build one it is better then smoking your timer that cost almost 100 or so. Andyman helped me with great pics that show exactly how to build. If Andyman does not mind i can give you guys exact diagram and places on net were to get parts get at me.

thanks jim
im only running two sometimes three pumps on my timer but still planning on getting that contactor

They do some weird shit in the Philippines.

Ask him about the aphrodisiac soup called "Bat and Ball soup" It's also called Soup #5

I'll let you guess what part of the bull it's made from... Yummy!

 

[Milton187]

those didnt look all indica. you still got like 3 weeks at least and they will really get bigger the last 2 weeks. 4 weeks and they will dam near be gooey

Hey andyman,

No, some are 1980's vintage columbian gold. My favorite. They are for ME! Can't get that anymore. They are the tallest and will take the longest to finish. The smaller plants are the "Pure" and "Bubblicious".

They are for my mother who has cancer.

I just thought they would all be growing giant kolas by now! You think they will continue to grow? I sure hope so!

[Milton187]

Are you using my system?

Yes! I read for weeks before deciding on your system!

I am running 3 4 x4 posts with 5 2" cups each. (Do to size limitations) Also modded the design so the res would fit under the unit. More space saved! Incorporated CO2 into the frame. Running one 400 watt MH and one 600 watt HPS. Running your nutes a little light do to some initial tip burn on the "Pure".

Veg room has one 400 watt MH with a 4000K bulb. (All I had and I swear they grow better than the Hortilux!)

You may have missed my first posts! I started with some seeds that were over 20 years old. Some very hashy tasting Columbian Gold. The other strains are "The Pure" and "Bubblicious".

Do you think they will fill out?

I dont mind, Ive been sick and lazy so I havent done much pysical labor. havent gotten to drawing a good scematic yet or got the plans up. Getting ready to order the parts to make a new timer (for a dif location) when I have the extra $$. All my extra $$ has been spent on spoiling my babys. lights, nuits, fans, ect. kids cost $$ lol. but these kids dont talk back.

they look more sativa , the ones I grew outdoor took forever and still werent done when I was brushing frost off them end Oct. (outdoor) the last 2 weeks they doubled in size. They would have been huge if the frost wouldnt have came. Give em time they will fill out.

peace yall

 

[andyman]

here is what I made yesterday, so I can flower my seedlings, since I dont know there sex yet. The fence post flower way, roots will overlap each other and get tangled. with this way I can use it and they shouldnt get to tangled in the short time it will take to show there sex. then I can still rip the boys out, hopefully. I can still use this for veg when Im done too.

I made it so that each holds 6 plants and the way the sprayers are setup, the roots can go imbetween them without getting in the way. and it kinda keeps them all separated. I used 2 - 14g med totes. this way to give plenty of root room and still be small. used 190gph pumps from harbor freight. think they were like $15 each. made a nice spot for the cord to come out the side too. I am planning on running ones I know are fem or clones through the fence post system, but untill I know what these seeds turn out to be I had to do this.

Also I have some of those FREE power skunk seeds from attitude and they are doing fine. long and lanky like a sativa. but everyone Ive heard had them said they suck. I dont want to through them out, just cause they take a long time. (I can still start budding them then put them outside this spring.) but my consern is has any one ever on here had anything good to say about them. I used them first on the stinkbud system for practice since they were free. thanks for all the help everyone. peace

stinkbud any comments or sugestions before I put this system into effect tonight. my seedlings are getting to big to keep veg. or any other stinkbuddys let me know what you think/ THANKS

The Columbian Gold will take forever. I'm growing some Skunk that is mix of Columbian Gold, Acapulco Gold and Afghan. The fastest phenotype takes about 10 weeks.

The one I have in soil right now has been flowering 3 months and the pistils are just starting to turn. It looks like it has another 2-3 weeks left.

That may be what you are looking at too.

Your other strains should finish within a normal time frame of 9 weeks.

Yep, I may have to LST the Gold. They are making the light too far away for the other plants!

I hope they fill out! Thanks again StinkBud and all others
for holding my hand through this "little" project!

Here is some bud porn , all underage (all models are under 18 years of age) . lol

Yeah - looking good, AndyMan!

 

[andyman]

ok guys just fired up my other light that was gifted to me years ago by my old roomate its a 400w hps bulb . but I noticed the unit inside said use a 250w hps bulb s50 max. now I remember using this myself for at least 3 small closet grows. I have it on and running rt now. Do you think this is ok or do you think someone may have switched a ballast part to make it work. Any one know if this will hurt anything if I leave it. we used it that way for a year and it never blew and seemed to work fine. now its got me kinda worried. I dont know much on how they work yet. any one ever heard of someone putting a 400w hps in a 250w unit and it working?
thanks everyone
peace

Hey Milton - I like your setup. I too am running a 3 post system (6 holes per post). I would love to see a pic with the res and the CO2 setup - sounds trick!

 

[jem]

andyman that must have been switched i have a buudy that refubishis them i have one that says 250wattmax and i use a 400watthps bulb in it because it was switched my buddy said if it was trully a 250 and you put a 400 in it it would not even fire up let alnone work for long so if you said it has been working for that long it should be cool

You seem as though you would have as good a grip as anyone here regarding that situation,... adept when it comes to electrons and all that shit.


If you've used it in the past and had no probs, or didn't see fit to conjure up any (imagined or otherwise) running it this way, screw the UL.

My chicken-ass most likely wouldn't.

If I must ask,.. I probably can't afford it.

thats kinda what i figured. good im all set on a little 4'x2.5' root cellar for runnin them veg/flower double stack units to see what is male and female. whats left I will let go. Im thinking I can run 3 of these tubs with 6 each for 18 total in that 4' x 2.5' root cellar. not sure though. I will add t5's and 105w cfl 2700k warm white bulbs too. thanks

well I understand parts of it like the transformer and capacitor but Ive never torn one apart yet to see what all is in it. I know they have a starter that looks like a capacitor too but dont know much about them yet. New reading material at work I guess. thanks

Here is one while I was working on it. You would have to wait till harvest for a clear pic now! I changed the
fill/drain nozzle with a 90 degree elbow. Note the brass barb for co2.

MILton

EDIT: I am going to redo the entire setup soon. I am going to get some bulkheads and put drains into the bottoms of the posts. Connect the drains to a manifold. Connect the manifold to my res located OUTSIDE of the flower room. Then I can lengthen the size of my posts! I will also be able to check/add nutes easier.
