leaves curled up is to much heat
leaves curled down is to much nuites

I always wait to adjust my ph until after I get my PPM right. My tap water starts at 7.8 PH and after I add nutes I have to add PH up. I check it daily and if my PH is off by more than .2, I'll make sure my PPM is still in line and adjust my PH again.
I also like to leave my tap water in a 5 gallon bucket out overnight to get rid of some of the chlorine in the water before I add it to my reservoir.

This is what happens when you don't start flowering in time. Since the Stink system is already about 2 feet off the ground with a 7ft tall room you can run out of room fast. I will be finishing this batch and bring in a new rez that is much wider its only 6 1/2 inches tall and holds 18 gallons. This would only work for a rez for the flower system not for cloning. I will get picture this weekend as I make the unit. Well here are some pictures of my flower unit about 2 weeks into flowering. Still trying to learn to take pictures of bud but I hope they are not to bad.

Uninterpretable Power Supply is what you want. You can find these at Walmart, Office Depot, best buy. Just look around and find a place that is having a sale.

o and stink did you know that on your parts list on page 75 for aero/nft blueprint on parts list u missin the pvc fence posts and end caps for em .....u prlly got another updated version that i dint see .....this thread is so long tho hehe cant blame a lazy stoner like me for not readin all of em

Aero is best at that nft timed interval yes but your timer will work with no adverse conciquences. I once did a run without any time just 24/7 and got a harvest oh yeah burnt up 4 pumps and my wallet too. mUCH sUCCESS...

What do you guys think about adding an air stone to the cloner reservoir? I know the cloner works, but do you think oxygenating the water would help a bit to promote growth ?
The reservoir is pretty well sealed up and I wonder how much oxygen really lives under that lid ...
Just a thought

when the water spays and hits the walls inside it releases oxygen

It will work fine till you get the right one. Ive got a spot that is way small that Im doin a small grow in till I get a bigger place. Anyway Ive been using a 15on15off push tab one, for like 4-5 months. they had huge roots, but they dont seem to be very stoney. This is probly cause there just bag seed I tried first before using the good strains.

I messed around with air stones for awhile. I would have to say they are not worth bothering with.
If you use them in veg or flower you will get a weird growth in the air stone--it seems to be due to the "good bacteria" that is part of the organic nutes... anyway it makes a real mess and clogs up the air stone.
As far as cloning.... it works, but it's not needed. It will increase your chances of contamination, as it is hard to sterilize air stones (well, not really but nobody does it) so they end up being a great reservoir for fungi.
Save your $$ and get a back up pump
For rooting cuts - standard shop florescent lights... the 2' ones fit nicely over the Rubbermaid containers. Cool Whites have the most lumens (I use those), though full spectrum 'Sunlight' tubes are available and also seem to work well.
For rooted cuts - T5 lights work great. I use a 4 x 2' tubes fixture with excellent results. I use the 6500K spectrum. The white light keeps stretch to a minimum.

So I read somewhere on RIU something about the Stanley Blower Fan and decided to check one out. I must say, for $50 bucks they are pretty bad ass. Oh yeah... it has 3 speeds too! 1100, 1800, and 2100 cfm i think. If you need something vented, blown, cooled or whatever and don't want to shell $200 for a "grow" fan, you might want to look at one.
Now how the heck can you use that thing in a duct ??
You can tape 6" flex duct to the end, or you can make it an 8" duct with an adapter from home depot:
A little cutting, some screwing, lots of hammering, and a little duct tape to seal up the "imperfections" and there ya go.
I mounted it for a room vent and it almost make your ears pop when it comes on.. and it super quiet too.
Got mine at the local Ace Hardware and it was on sale for 49.00. Lowe's has the same thing in black/gray made by lasco.
I think it goes without saying, wear good gloves when messing with duct stuff... or keep a needle and thread handy to sew yourself back together
Stink it up kids !
