Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Has anyone made 3 single post flowering systems?

A guy named Stifling has mad a 3 post system I think.

You mean replace the cap art timer?
Is it like a one size fits all or when you order do you specify voltages.
Thanks n advance.

When I was talking to the manufacturer they acted like it was universal but when I was directed to a distributor the salesperson didn't seem to understand and wanted a part number. They don't list them on their site yet so I can't give them one. I am still in communications with them to make certain before I order what it is capable of but according to the discription from the manufacturer it would indeed replace the cap art and you could fine tune it to whatever you wanted from fractions of a second to 24 hours and it can be ordered in 10 or 20 amps supposedly. I will let you guys know when I get it. I need it bad because adding in new batches every 3 weeks I am getting full and need to get my 1000HPS moving soon.

Has anyone made 3 single post flowering systems? I have a long and narrow room (4x8 ft) and I could probably build (3) 6 foot systems to fit in there.

Also, has anyone used this timer? It looks like it can do cycles as well, in minute increments. Very cheap...

It says up to 8 on settings a day which would limit you to one on every 3 hours of what ever length you set it to.

i wish i could smoke bud again but i cant. Not in any trouble just have to get a white collar job. I enjoy everyones posts on this thread. well at least the 60 percent of them that i have had time to read. Great thread and hopefully i can smoke in the next 5 years if pot ever becomes legal federally.

DUDES!! I cannot for the life of me get these veg and clone containers to stop leaking!!! ive been using towel after towel..
The water is turning the bottom of my plywood closet into mush.

They are rubbermaid roughnecks, although they look a bit different then some of yours... what can i do?

Yo Dirt - use weather seal - I will save you the trouble of trying all the brands out there as I did! I picked this tip up from the AeroSpring - though I think the weather seal I use is better... OK without further delay:

Use all climate Marine and Automotive EPDM rubber weatherseal. It comes in several shapes - use the ribbed type that measures 5/16" thick by 19/32" wide.

One such brand is M-D Building Products, Inc, All Climate, Marine and Automotive Weatherseal, part # 01033.

I've been meaning to post pics but have been busy. I saw your post and decided to respond sans pics as leaks are a drag!

Take your time installing it - don't stretch it as you adhere it - especially around the corners. Use one pice and join it on a diagonal cut right over the handle... If you don't make a good join and it leaks at the seam, you can fold a paper towel to sit in the recess of the Rubbermaid handle to blot the dribble... After installing the weatherseal, the top fits like a glove - you will feel a very positive "latch" as you close the lid.

Understand - with the constant on/off action of the pumps - even with the weatherseal you may see an occassional drip here and there... but the seal will dry you up for the most part!

Yeah - the Rubbermaid containers are getting really crappy - there are 2 or 3 types of plastic they are made out of... one type is more shiny and thinner feeling, while the matte finish seems to be thicker and stiffer... to make matters worse, I had to go through a dozen last night to find one without holes in the bottom! Yes holes! Those two little plastic circles set about nine inches apart in the bottom of the tubs had tiny holes in the center where the injected plastic did not fill properly or something... Beware, never by a stack without checking each one!

Even though I may not build every system, every system has a little bit of my love in it.

I will make sure mine does

I have made oil though and can share a little knowledge.

My wife is having skin cancers burnt off every 6 months, the ointment is my interest

I found that pure grain alcohol works best. Your know...the stuff you used to put in the trash can of jungle juice to get all the pretty girls drunk
You mean the stuff in the Mason Jars I keep in the freezer?

Any crock pot works well for boiling off the alcohol. Warning!!!! Don't do it inside. You will burn your house down.

I am from the south and have a little history with the distillation process. In fact this process combines two of my favorite hobbies.

[FredSavage]

first of all id like to say thank you stink for such an awesome system and an insight to all the years of perfecting it. quite rare for someone to freely give out something this special. ive been quietly lurking this thread for about a month now and finally finished doin all the research i need. im 100% going to use this system and not try and change anything.. from what ive seen there arent any flaws . once again thank you stink, and also everyone else who has put input into this thread, it really is something amazing! pics coming soon. peace

 

[StinkBud]

stink.
i read ur running over 85degrees because of co2....how can u run that high temps and can keep ur nute temps under 70?.........just a thought

The water stays really cold believe it or not.

I bet it heats up a little during lights on. It must loose all that heat during lights out though.

When you think about it, it takes a long time and a lot of heat to boil a big pot of water.

The biggest difference in water temps came from when I switched pumps.

My very first system that I bought had a 1200 GPH pump. The water would become very warm over the day.

I split the system up and used two reservoirs with two of the small pumps. The water temps dropped dramatically.

My wife has had skin cancer removed also. They go in and cut out big pieces of flesh! OUCH!

I think they got it all though because we haven't found any new growth in a while now.

I was going to say don't worry bro but I remember everyone saying that to me. I thought, yea right...I won't worry about the person I love more than anything in the world! It always sound stupid to me...

Anyway let me be the first to say go ahead and worry.

LOL! Yea, that's the stuff!

Hey there stinkies... I did some things to my system...I made a new clone closet seperate from veg, and doubled the number of plants in veg with two veg units. I switched my 24/7 veg light to 18/6...of course my clones will be 24/7.

I plan too add one more flower system, as soon as my last oversized plants are harvested...i have room to do this, but when it goes in i wont be able to reach the back plants..but not a problem. I have been giving alot of thought to how the timeline will work...without letting plants get to big in veg....stink do you have any advice?

maybe just keep the 3 week schedule but have 2 of the units on the same schedule?

 

[add1ct1on]

hey dirt, when you had your clones and veg together what did you run the lights at time wise?

[DIRTHAWKER]

hey dirt, when you had your clones and veg together what did you run the lights at time wise?

They were at 24/7...the plants grew very quick. Its hard to say if they took longer to begin flowering, but now that ive scaled back, im gonna find out firsthand.

 

[torrey420]

Dirt, If I was you I would run 2 systems on the same schedule, or do what I am in the process of doing and build larger units and stay with 3 systems, 3 20 hole units ends up as slightly more than adding a 4th unit.

 

[DIRTHAWKER]

good mornin 420...thanks for the responses on the matter.,, i saw your first post about it.. my problem would be space .. i can go sideways ..but not longer, without jeopardizing work and walking space. but i think the 2 on the same schedule will work?

 

[torrey420]

Yep, I think that is the only way to run 4 and have somewhat normal schedule, besides the amount of work harvesting 2 units at once it should be fine. Although you may have to toss out some veg plants on the cycles in between or you will have some monsters on hand! Curious if you think 4 600w lights would be enough for my 20 hole systems? I have been thinking of adding another set and having 2 600's per system. Any thoughts? My room is 10x10.

I think a lot would depend on the strains you are running. My NYC Diesel finishes in 7-8 weeks! I have this one nycd plant that's done before the system ahead of it! WTF?

So anyway if you are running strains that finish fairly fast you could go to a two week harvest no problem.

I also think you could take a week off of the flush time if you ran Clearex the whole time.

I've been flushing a batch for 3 days with Clearex and the plants are already starting to turn colors.

I've been running my veg plant 24/0 along with my clones because of space issues. I've noticed it takes a few days longer for the plants to start flowering than when they were set to 18/6.

What happens is the plants take about a week longer to begin flowering. They end up a lot bigger that way.

I used to harvest about 1.5oz. per Blueberry plant. Now I'm averaging 2-3oz. per plant!

My next batch is out of control. I raised my lights as high as I can and one plant is still taller than the lights.

Hey Stink, would 6 600w lamps be too much in a room 10x10 with 3 20 hole units? I can't decide if thats over kill or not but I wired my room with the power to handle 4 1000k lights and figure I might as well use it!
