Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[BIGTIMEROOFERR]

I have some questions for everyone about security. Sorry, I know this is a little off topic but I have come to respect many of the opinions offered here and am curious what your take would be on this problem.

The problem? There is no room available for this system.

So, the options I see are rent an apt., rent a house, or buy a new residence (last being not much of an option). What do you guys feel is the best solution for this issue?

go buy a portable shed
and run with it

Its been a few days since i have been on the board and noticed you guys talking about the "Green Shed" (Running on marine battery and solar panels). Not sure if it would work although i dont see why it wouldn't, why dont you just use some power converters? The one that changes the current from DC to AC and then just plug in your equipment?

If this has been stated or discussed already i apologize but i wanted to comment on it before i forgot.

Hey Stink, is there a reason the hole between the totes on the veg unit is small? I'm asking because I wasn't sure the 42gallon contractor bags I bought would work well. Have you tried the bags with the veg unit? Did you just put them through the hole and it covered the upper and lower tubs good? If not could the hole be a little bigger?

Thanks!

I was wondering, would you mind telling me how you handle the flushing of the Blue Berry that you keep in soil and how you know when it is time for flushing to begin? I know you must be exhausted after snow boarding all weekend but I would really appreciate the help as I am nearing that part with my first ones. I had already started these before I learned of your system and am in the process of converting but still want to do the best I can with what I have. Thanks man for everything!kiss-ass

I don't use bags in my veg/clone unit. I've always been able to bend the lid to get any leaks to stop.

You may need two bags for the veg unit. The top bag would have a hole in the bottom of it to let water drain.

I put the plant in the bathtub and run water though it until the water comes out clear. I also empty my dehumidifier water into the plant because it's 0 PPM water.

I do this every 3-5 days until the plant is done.

I use half pearlite in my soil mix and Hydroton on the bottom so my pots drain fast and I never have a problem with over watering.

Hm the only reason I was going to use the bags were for easy clean up, how do you clean your veg unit?

No you're good to go at 175.

Just add the LK when you get it.

I have my wife do it . Just kidding!

I mix a little bleach in some water. I have a rough brush that I scrub the shit out of the inside with.

The lid will eventually end up with salt deposits. I use Comet and the brush to get the salts off.

Stinkbud,
First off, thank you so much for your detailed description of everything...it has taken me over a week to read through this thread and I am amazed. I am going to adopt your system the only question I have is about using an exhaust fan to control the humidity. Do you use any type of carbon filter or ozone? What would you suggest I do for odor control?

Thanks

Thanks man

Double, have you recieved the timer you mentioned in an earlier post and if so what are your impressions of it? I looked at the info on the link you provided but understanding it was beyond me. It looks to me like it will handle any voltage, run on any voltage, has a built in relay, sorta like a contactor, is very adjustable and relativily cheap but like I said I didn't understand much.

 

[BIGTIMEROOFERR]

stink
thanks for all the help
i would be lost
kiss-ass

[DubB83]

LOL, you guys should change the number of posts per page.

I'm glad to say that I was here pre-HighTimes! Woo hoo.

I'm not using the stink system but it was the one that finally convinced me go build aeroponic. I just wish the Lil' Stinker (StinkBud Jr.) was around when I started this thread!

When can we see that lil' bugger Stink?

I am still waiting but, I have had lots of experience with these types of things and it should be great. It could easily replace the currently used timer as well.
