I'm going to switch the light to 18/6 starting at midnight tonight.

I have seedlings that went into the cloner 3/26. I have a 4 bulb 2' HO 6500 that's currently on 24/7. Should they be on 18/6? I thought I read Stink said his Veg lights are on 24/7 now.

Seedlings should be treated different from clones? Something like that...

I started the nutes a couple of days ago at 300ppm, they're currently at 450 ppm... I plan to take them to 550 tomorrow.

I'm always surprised in the morning when I go in to look... They always look better and better. Couldn't have done it without all of you guys.

Many thanks from a med patient kiss-ass

i took apart one of thoes small refridgerators so it was just the guts. you know the small cooling plate that builds up frost, i have that sitting in my rez with the thermostat, water stays at 66* all day.

The evaporator is the little radiator that frost up. was it a self defrost or manual defrost. if self defrost you will want to take out the defrost heater so it doesnt kick on every 6-8 hours to defrost it.
You need any help just ask. I service house hold appliances
peace

From Experience... I started at 750 ppm with seedlings and was at 1500 ppm by end of week 1 only because I was chicken to go higher faster. I doubt it would have mattered much either way. The biggest difference I noticed was when I took down the HO T-5's and turned on my 600W MH conversion bulb at 2.5 feet distance. Wow, I made a notation in log that true plant health began that day.

Biggest mistake was vegging too long...for 27 days after topping once. Largest two plants were 12" and 13" respectively. Other plants were around 8" tall. Now, at day 27 of flower the two largest plants are bent and tied down all over the tent and they have overgrown the weaker plants. The Colas for those two plants are easly 5.5 - 6 feet tall if unbent. I continue to use CO2 and that may have contributed to the problem.

Be careful on how long/tall you veg. Mine are DP Blueberry. I am thinking of trying a more true Sativa for next time but might have to go into flower at like 6" with even stretchier plants. Not even sure if it will work.

Good luck. It is lots of fun. Thanks to the Stink.

easiest way that works for me is to calculate how many total plants ur allowed mature & immature, then divide that by 5. (5 steps to the system, 3 in flower ) last thing u want is to be over even by 1 and have uncle sam come pay ya a visit ( even though it wont happen ). if your NOT a mmj user. then fk it. just stay under 100. 99 and below. feds will rape u w 100 plants and over.

Use the Stink Bud System. If ur dedicated to doin wat u do then read the thread. i think the startin instructions are on pg 75... but yea u can grow 96.. but how many can u flower? then jus split that in 3 or w.e systems ur using for the harvest every 3 week perpetual harvest. u cant get to flowering the plants without the cloner or vegger.... make those first then start ur flowerin room.. ITS WORTH READING

GREAT fkin idea man! gunna do this if ever need a chiller!

you want to stick those seedlings straight into the veg unit. i started em off at 1000ppm then by end of 1st week 1500, then 2nd week 2000ppm.... heres a few pics of my seedlings at 28 days....

hope this helps

I prefer 18 on 6 off so that they have time to sleep and fix themselfs , rest and repair ect.

I have a buddy doing 6 on 2 off for 3 times a day so its like 3 days in one and he swears by it. but then again his plants seem stressed and he has some problems. but he is also using dirt too.

Vegged 27 days under 600W MH, topped once. Used CO2. Notice all the string everywhere tying everthing ever which way. Tallest plants at flower day 1 were 12" and 13". This is a DR120. Be careful or you will have height issues. Top of my fenceposts are 14" off ground. Six hole system. Five plants. Ten gallon rez. Tallest plants are like 6 feet but wrap 1/3 way around top of tent.

Learned a lot. Hope I can bring em home.

how tall is your room? my room is 8x8x8 and the tallest seedling is about 7" dont think i should have problems, was gunna veg em atleast another 2 weeks.. to let them mature a bit more and to take cuttings.. hopefully i will be blessed with 1 nice female.. if not ill pop the other 6 i have and try again.. thanks for the help

EDIT: from all my reasearch ive learned that using co2 during veg is pointless.. just fyi, dont want to waste where not needed.

My tent is 6'6" tall. My plants start 14" off ground and my air-cooled light is strapped to top of tent. I have about 4' 8" to light from base of plant. At day 27 of flower they have basically slowed growing to less than 1/2" per day but a couple are still growing.

From my limited experience I have found that my best plants have grown 575-600% since flower day 1. I kept the lights close, in fact too close (burning) so I did not experience stretching from light distance. Most of the stuff you read on this site will tell you to expect two to three times growth at flower. With co2 and optimal conditions I have experienced double the avg. with Stink's system and frankly am afraid to move to more sativa strains. I have started reading more about SCROG's because of the tremendous growth....I have been growing DP Blueberry which is like 80% indica. What happens if I go 80% sativa?

From what I understand, I face a more difficult task from seed. Clones are more predictable. Good luck. Plan accordingly.

Check it out! I just got the issue with my article in the mail.

It's 10 pages long. All my photos they used are mine except for the opening shot and the center spread. There are 2 full page photos of Goo and Purple Silver.

They made a mistake and called my 6-hole unit the veg unit. They put the instructions to the veg unit but no plans...oops!

Anyway, watch for it on the shelf in a couple of weeks.

Also, Check out the 3000 watts of joy in my flower room. I put my other 1000W MH in with my other 2-1000W HPS lights. I set them up in a triangle layout.

3000W in a 7x8 closet is amazing to behold! No more dark areas on the edges of my room. The MH will be a nice addition to the light spectrum also. It fills in where the HPS suffers.

So now I run my systems left to right with the new system going under the MH on the left. The oldest plants are on the right. I'll harvest the plants on the right and then the other systems will slide right to make room for the new batch.

Looks like High Times will be spreadin' the love along with all us StinkBuddies!

Stinkbud Reps on the article man been reading through here my brain has so much info its gonna freakin explode lol PEACE!

I will be switching to 18/6 tonight at midnight. I did so under the direction of AndyMan and other sources. Also, I had a bit of Icarus syndrome (lights were only 2" from the tops of the seedlings the moment they hit the air). So, I'm thinking they probably do deserve a little rest. I moved the lights up to 14" last night and it made a huge difference. The leaves have flattened and I've even noticed a little vertical growth in such a short period of time. They look so much better. I'll put some pics.

Here's where I need a little advice:
I just hung my 400W MH lamp, its ready to go. The plants been on a diet of 1330ppm of veg recipe for about 30 hours, with nothing but new growth. Judging by the pics below (2 strains, 3 White Rhino plants (little ones) and 3 Hindu Kush (big ones) they've been under light for 17 days, when Should I move them to the MH/veg container. Is there a height Threshold or leaf count I should be watching for? My flower area has about 5 feet of vertical growth available, but I want as much quality as possible. Any and all advice welcome.

Stink, congratulations on the High Times nod. Kind of like the Pulitzer for pot. Well done and well deserved.
Peace.

Awesome Stink! I feel priveleged to be the first pupil of yours to do your system..well at least that we know of on this thread..lol

must be manual defrost because to test it i filled my kitchen sink with water, put the evaporator in the water, cranked it up and went to bed. when i woke up about 6hrs later my whole sink was a block of ice.

Here are some pics to help gauge the progression. I took a pic with the little white stake (collar stays) that has the strain and plant number and then one with a bigger view of the plant. I'm not trying to hijack the thread, I just want to get this really as right as possible. Thanks again.
