Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Here is a picture of my experimental 6 hole unit. I still use a 396 GPH pump but I scaled down res to 10 gal.

It's working great. Eventually I'm going to draw up some plans. I just need some spare time.
Do you think a 600w hps would be optimal for this setup? Or do you think a 600w could handle an 8 plant system?
Thx

I cannot afford a timer right now does anyone know the negatives of running the cloner 24/7 ? I am also putting it outside for as much natural(free) light

600 watt hps will work if that is all you have. For a full SB rail system 1000 watt would give you alot better coverage and light penetration for higher yields

I highly suggest aero over any other form. Although dirt is for the best quality, just ask the cannabis cup winners.




Its not a know it all thing its the truth dumbie! I'm not knocking him it's cool he posted it for free for all to see. But he either infringed on High Times or he's the creator that HT based the article off of or HT infringed on stinkbud. Either way I don't care. But do some research next time adamhew77 you wont look like such a dick face. Just saying. I own the collectors edition copy so it even has a different cover and articles. http://hightimes.com/video/ht_admin/5335 http://hightimes.com/grow/ht_admin/5645

Running 24/7 can help yield slightly more, you might need a water chiller to keep the pump from heating up you rez. I've done it both ways and saw no major impact. However I run mine 24/7 during during flushing.

Stinkbud was asked by High times to write up that artical for them. He is the designer of this system it's has nothing to do with High times other than the write up done on Stinkbud.
Nice, my apologies to stinkbud. I got lazy and didn't cross reference my facts. Thanks for the help.

No problem. If you had a chance to get to Hempfest this weekend. You could have a chance to hear Stinkbud talk about his system and updated units..

I have a question. When you say 2x 1000ws for flowering, do you mean x2 1000ws overall (spread across the three) or x2 1000ws per stinkbuddy sr.?

2 over the 3. I use a 600w HPS over ea unit. Mine are a 3 rail mod , 30" wide and 40" long rails w/4 plants per rail, 11" between pots, 200w less over all but does as well if not a little better than the 2 1000w HPS. With the 600w hps in an air cooled hood you can put it almost on top of the plants compared to a 1k.

*I have a second set of rails that fit the units with only 3 plants per rail, offset, depends what I am out for as far as which rails I use.

I can't believe this thread is still going and going and going. I guess I should add that I've been using the Stinkbud type NFT unit for 4 years and I love it. It is the simplest, easiest, most efficient way to grow pot.
