Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[StinkBud]

How about 1lb per week? That is what I average with my set up. But I'm prob. growing more plants at one time per week than you. Each week I add four plants and remove four plants.

Starts like this.

Starting with an empty grow room......

Week one: 4 plants in.

Week two: 4 plants in.

Week three: 4 plants in.

Week four: 4 plants in.

Week five: 4 plants in.

Week six: 4 plants in.

Week seven: 4 plants in.

Week eight: 4 plants in. 4 plants out.


Once this system is established like above, one will pull four plants and add four plants each week. By doing so in time one will be picking at least a pound per week. Of course that depends on the type of plant one is growing. My plants are ready for picking at the end of the seven weeks.

Good luck!

Sounds awsome! My last harvest ended up only 27oz.

Have you thought about starting your own thread and teaching others your techniques?

You could draw up some plans for your cloner, veg and flower units and post them in your thread.

It would also be cool for you to write a complete set of instructions on how you grow. Don't forget to include everything from start to finish.

Here are the things you should address in your thread: Seeds, Cloning, vegging, lights, CO2, Genetics, Harvesting, Curing, Pests, Air, Temps, Humidity, PPM strengths, Nutes, PH and I'm sure you will come up with more.

It would be great if you could post pictures of every step of the entire process too.

I'm sure you could help many people get the medicine they need! I can't wait to see your thread! Be sure and post a link to it when you get it done.

Thanks for spreading the love bro!

Thanks so much for that link again. Im ordering tomorrow. I got some organic spray that mostly has dif oils in it . Mostly spices kinda oils. anyway I showed the worst pic and I think I caught it early enough it will be ok. The good news is there only on the veg and clones. This is the first time Ive had spider mites. thanks again every one

One time I made my own insect spray. You take garlic and hot peppers and put them in a blender with some water. Blend well and then strain the pulp out through some cloth.

Take the water and add a couple of drops of liquid soap and your done. It works awsome! Bugs will never touch your plants again.

Reality check.....

It made the whole house smell like the stinkiest Mexican pizza you could ever imagine!

It did work well though! No one, including the bugs could stand to go in the room! In fact one day I saw a fly go into the room and withing a few minutes he started puking!

i built it last night. it worked like a charm. I filled it with water in the kitchen sink and plugged it in. I got soaked! Killed any doubts I had.

Now to score some clones. I have a guy who knows a guy...

Oh yeah, how far below the neoprene collars must the stem of the clone protrude? Anyone know?

I've had them as short as just 1/4" below the collar. Usually I cut them even with the bottom of the net pot.

Could be.

Anybody see a 120+watt LED in use? I haven't. Until now

This is a 350watt tri-band panel. Replaced a 1000watt HPS.

Utilizing StinkBud system.. plants start on the right and move to the left with each harvest. This way they will start under the LED and finish under the 1000watt HPS.

Boys... lets hope this works! I won't keep you hanging.

I'm excited to see how this turns out. I have a lot of faith in LEDs. They may not seem very bright but the light spectrum is exactly what the plant uses.

Most of the light an HPS or MH puts out is not even used by the plant. Not to mention how much power is being converted to heat.

We need to figure out a way to build them ourselves. I can't find a cheap price on all the components. At this time it seems like it would cost more to build the unit yourself than just buy one already made.

I'd really like to make an LED light. I love building stuff (duh). To me the knowledge would be worth the price of admission.

Does anyone know of some plans/schematics for an LED light? Any good sources for parts?

We may need to start a new thread just for LEDs...

 

[DoubleBubble]

Thanks! I'd rep ya again, but I can't haha.

So.. the distance thing has me frustrated. I assume the closer the better--but when you start getting close the coverage area goes way down.

It's advertised as 8'x6' coverage with 4'x6' "core flowering coverage", but the real question is.. how high does the LED need to hang to give this coverage..

I have also wondered if you could get too close... aren't these lights designed with different spectrum LED's so they blend together? Where is the best distance for this blend?

Lots of questions... we will see. I am hoping the addition of CO2 +LED will make up for the 1000w HPS that was removed. It's cool as fuck though--there is NO HEAT at all! The dehumidifier puts out way more.

That IS cool. It looks too cool. Can you reach the manufacturer?

Lots of great pics stinbuds..love the blueberry buds..and repvip..your setup is looking bomb...Lion your room is coming together awesome! Stink thanks for spreadin the love again!

I think my upcoming harvest is gonna be my biggest and best yet! I just started the flush with sweet.

will take pics in a bit.

 

[Demosthenese]

i've read only one thread from a guy who actually built his own. As far as i remember it still cost him 600 bucks or so, because led components are just not cheap. I investigated a diy led solution, but it seemed to expensive and experimental. On the other hand, if i could swap out my 400w HPS for less then 500 bucks and get an equivalent light with no heat and hardly any power consumption that ws guaranteed to work perfectly then i'd be interested.

I have a few Aerocloner questions for you guys...

can you use the same timer setup for aero cloners? 1 min on 4 min off?

Does water temperature matter as much in aerocloning? I usually use a heat mat no matter what time of year for clone flats.

I am not using the clonex nute solution...should I ph the water?

Wait till you try the buds after flushing with Sweet. It's beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

My last batch has completely dried now and has had a chance to cure for a little while. To put it simply, the buds are the sweetest I have ever tasted in 40+ years of smoking pot.

I know you think I'm exaggerating and I wouldn't blame you if you did. Everyone should try it though. You all will be blown away by the flavor.

The after taste is unlike anything I have ever experienced! It really does taste like candy.

I can't wait to hear what your patients are going to say!

On another note...

I got a new patient a couple a days ago. I felt really bad for the guy. His old provider was giving him shitty shake that he couldn't even smoke. He had to make oil out of it.

He's old and poor as fuck but too proud to take anything for free. I told him if he wants to pay any money for the medicine to just donate whatever he can afford it to the local clinic because that's all I would do with the money anyway.

I could see the look of relief in his face.

Needless to say he was stoked when I hooked him up with some of my medicine!

I may look like a big, tough guy on the outside but I got a soft heart. I always feel like crying when I see people suffer. I got that from my mom.

I ball my brains out just like a chick whenever I see a sad movie, pitiful..

 

[DIRTHAWKER]

Its kinda weird...this is the first time the leaves really started yellowing before i started the flush..this pic was taken today. and i started the flush today...



this ripe batch i had to throw some netting over and tie down..it is my last unit that still needs to be modified, with the netting.

also, on the unit on the far right,, its been in for just 4 weeks and it already has some leaves yellowing...i dont remember this happening so quickly. It got me kinda wondering if something is a miss?

Yes you use the same timer. No need for a heat mat. Most likely it will cause more problems than good.

You will find that you have a 100% success rate if you follow my directions. You don't need Clonex though. They will root no matter what.

In fact, I don't think anyone in the entire StinkBud community has lost a clone yet. That's pretty fucking amazing when you think about it!

I would have to say the biggest problem we all have is what to do with all the extra clones. When I say you will have clones coming out your ass I'm not exaggerating.

Am I right guys? Anyone lost a clone yet? Fuck ups don't count...

 

[DIRTHAWKER]

100% so far with every single clone here! I cant wait to try the sweet flushed buds.

hey SB i was wondering if i could leave my vent fan on 24/7 for my first grow with ur system nd jus turn the lights on nd off at a certain time. then after the first harvest add co2 and A.c. and enclose it and add timers for the vent fan co2 and lights and i was wondering if i could still fit ducting to a 8" vent fan to a 6" air coolhood. Its my first Real Grow Room

Guess #1, remember when you said your CO2 tank was lasting a month? That can't be right. One week should be about right for your grow.

I'm able to get two weeks out of a tank but I have a controller that monitors the CO2 perfect. When I ran timers with fans a tank lasted me a week.

What if your plants are not getting enough CO2? Your room is sealed now right? The plants could be starving for CO2...

A month out of a 20lb. CO2 tank? No way, that can't be right bro!

Guess #2, you may need to increase your nutes because of the added CO2. The plants are growing a lot faster now and may be using up just one of the many nutes in the mix too fast.

That's perfect. Before I got CO2 I hooked up my vent fan to blow through the light.

It vented the room and kept the lights cool to the touch. As soon as I got CO2 all I had to do was connect a hose to the fan input from outside the room.

I had my vent fan on a timer. I set it to run the whole time the lights where on but it only went on for 15 minutes every hour during the night.

 

[DIRTHAWKER]

That makes sense.. That co2 has got me perplexed.. wouldnt the little ball stop floating if the tank was empty? yet it still floats and the guage says full... im in the twilight zone!!! im gonna refill it today nonetheless..and i will start to up my nutes and see if that helps...thanks Stink.

FASHO! Thanks StinkBud. Im glad u made this thread. haha Ive learned alot from u!

What do you have it set at? What number is the ball at? Is the ball always up or only up when the timer is on?

The ball should only go up when the timer is on. The ball should not go up if the gauge reads empty (duh). If it does the ball must be stuck or something.

What does the gauge read?

well i just took the tank out of the room and took off the regulator. Then opened the valve..jet engine pressure blowin loud..i hooked the regulator back up and adjusted the cfh up to about 10 and you can feel the co2 coming out...its not empty. Ive had it set for the past 3 weeks at just under 2 cfh for 30 minutes on every 3 hours ..so that like 2 hours of co2 total a day..it only floats when the timer gets switched on... hmm...i just used the co2 calculator and it made sense...it says about 102 hours for 21 minutes on time...so i would think since im going 30 minutes it would drop the tank life a little..so maybe 80 hours i dont know.

the pressure guage is always at 30 psi..exactly where it says to set it at. WEIRD!

 

[dagobaker]

hey stink......any reason u think u got 27 oz from ur grow instead of the normal 16?
seems like ur doing something better....dont hold out on us
