Hello All
I just finished reading this whole thread and what a read it is, I have found a lot of useful info I will be setting up my system this fall as it gets to hot here some days as hot as 115 in the summer. I will be growing outside in the summer and inside the rest of the time. I did do a small grow this last summer with only 3 plants that my landlord brought to us (cool guy) my better half takes 23 diffrent pills everydays she has so many diffrent things wroung with her she has been taking pain pills for pain so long that it has screwed up her stomach linning, for the last few months she has only been able to to eat soup and keep it down she still gets an upset stomach but when she eats meat or anything heavey she gets sick they did give her meds that she has to take befor she eats so she can keep her food down but they donn't work the only thing that does is bud!!! SO I SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO ONE AND ALL FOR THE HELP THAT YOU GIVE TO EVERYONE.

I'm so glad you can help her bro! That's what it's all about. I hope she gets better (I said a prayer for her)

Hot rooms will kill you! Everything starts to fuck up above 78 degrees. Good luck bro!

Dear Stink Bud, I think I messed up, I started from seeds, germinated in paper towels and when they cracked and got tails I put them in rapid rooter plugs. Once they got their first leaves and I saw the root come out of the bottom of plug, I thought that I could put them in my cloner. Well the seedlings are 5 days old and I gently tried getting the rapid rooter off as much as possible but a couple of the seedlings root broke. I just saw on page 1 that I could have put the whole plug in the net and put in cloner. Questions did I ruin the seedlings and was this too soon to put them in the cloner? I did not put all my seedlings in just 4 of them because I was not sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I have them in a grow tent under 4 125watt cfl's.

Stinkbud, have been using my SB system for many years with great success. Have had a few modifications but pretty much the same.
Have switched to top feed sprayers recently.

Thanks SB you systems do work great just take a little learning and experience.

Thanks bro!!! You're doing great!

My first Aero system had round pipes and top feed sprayers. I just had too many leaks with all the hoses. That's why I designed my system so that even if the sprayer assembly leaked it wouldn't fuck anything up. It also made maintaining it a lot easier. After harvest I just pull the whole sprayer assembly out at one time.

Quick question for any one to answer if they know, but how long do botanicare nutrients usually last? They've been kept cool and dark for most of the time, but since I had to put my shit on hiatus for a bit, they've been sitting for about a year or so. Any ideas? It's not a big deal to me, I bought new shit already assuming it wouldn't be good, but if it is I'd definitely like to take advantage of the couple gallons I got laying around. Thanks in advance guys.

Being kept cool and In the dark helps a lot, you may be OK. Check for crystals formed and loose in bottles(sounds like rock salt when shaking) and especially look for clumps of white mold in liquid karma and main nutes.

So I just picked up some clearex for my current flush I'm doing, and some sweet to use the rest of flowering. Its my first experience with botanicare products and with a product like sweet. I went to the store to get some calmag to suplement with, and noticed that the sweet has the same list of stuff in it as the calmag in almost the same quantities. So I thought hell I'll give it a whirl I think Stink uses it, its gotta be good stuff.

Throw it in your sig line and I'll come check it out man, I'm always down to try new stuff. I've considered switching to all botanicare after I finish this run. I've also been toying with switching to a brand of nutes I used a few years ago with great success called Envy. I only stopped using them because the only why I can get them is to order the online which I don't like to do. I'm currently running GH flora series nutes, and the sweet will just be an additive to them.

Thanks, SS, looks like I'm in the clear so far! I dumped some LK into a glass and watched as it flowed with no white clumps or any signs of mold, so I figured I'd try them out in a single plant system just in case and move on from there. I will definitely let everyone know how my experiment goes, hopefully this can help save some one else's nutes in the future!

You know almost any nutrients you buy will work fine. All you need to do is figure out the correct amount to run. That is usually determined by the type of strain you run. Some strains require more Cal/Mag than others but overall it's not that big of a deal if you change your res often.

I've seen good bud come from hundreds of different nutes and methods. Right now my patients want 100% organic. Soil is really the only true organic method. Yea you can use organic based nutrients like Botanicare but it still won't taste as sweet as soil grown.

The biggest factor is genetics. If you have good genetics, you will get good medicine.

Good luck bro!
