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.
That is awesome StinkBud. I am really happy for you. I hate they messed up and didn't ask you to double check it for them but alot of good will come from this. You are an incredible person and it is an honor to have gotten to know you somewhat, a huge resourse and it has be a joy to be involved in this thing from very early on. I can't wait to get my copy!
Looks like High Times will be spreadin' the love along with all us StinkBuddies!

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.

Thanks for the PPM input, I'll take them up faster...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.
Be careful on how long/tall you veg.
Good luck. It is lots of fun. Thanks to the Stink.
WOW great pixyou 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

Thx I gave them 6 off last night after reading your post. I'll set up a timer today.I prefer 18 on 6 off so that they have time to sleep and fix themselfs , rest and repair ect.
I used an 11/64 drill bit like in the instructions pg 75. one hole TDC as in illustration photos.Dumb question. The sprayer heads are 1/4" threaded. Do you actually hand tap a hole for each sprayer head? Or how do you insert the sprayerheads into tho PVC?
Thanks!
Actually, if you can find a 10-32 tap, it will create perfect threads for the red misters.Dumb question. The sprayer heads are 1/4" threaded. Do you actually hand tap a hole for each sprayer head? Or how do you insert the sprayerheads into tho PVC?
Thanks!

ya ought to sell that 400w mh and get a few ho compact flourecents or t5 fluroucents. === cooler and cheaper to run + better color spectrum of light with the 6400k daylightsI 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.
no dumb ?s hereDumb question. The sprayer heads are 1/4" threaded. Do you actually hand tap a hole for each sprayer head? Or how do you insert the sprayerheads into tho PVC?

Yeah, Cholo - those look great! What are they? LA Conf, Bubba or what? They look just like some LA Conf I got on the line. I love the symmetry and the squat, short, stature! Easy to light up a plant like that!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....

Hey Aero - sounds like you are rolling! You may not have to buy another meter... If the meter can display EC - you just need to calibrate it and then use math to do the conversion form ms to PPMs. Different manufacturers calibrate their devices differently when converting ms to PPM's - anywhere from 500 to 1000 PPMs = to 1.0 ms. Hanna used to use 500 = 1.0 ms from the factory. But I believe they now use 700 PPM = 1.0ms. To make a long story short (too late). If your Hanna does display EC as ms - you just need to figure out what 1.0ms = in PPM's and convert accordingly. 700PPM = 1.0ms is the current standard - I would suggest using that conversion. So an ms reading of 2.0 would equal 1400 PPMs - while your PPMs may top at 2000 - I would bet your ms reads well beyond 3.0ms.WOW great pix
I have them in the cloner right now, the roots are still kind of small only about 4"... I'll set up the veg unit, move them over.
I bought the Hanna Grocheck meter that stays in the res. It only goes up to 1999 PPM, so I guess I need to get another meter to make sure I don't burn them. Or maybe 1999 is close enough LOL
Thx
They're actually SFV Purple OG Kush seedlings i got from a co-op.. ( check thcfarmer.com they got em there direct from the breeder. ) although i got mine from a co-op here in socal. plan of attack in flower.. uhmmm. pray?! no clue.. was thinking of putting them towards the ends... not gunna have a full system running this first time so hopefully by the time the start to show sex the roots wouldnt have grown together.. other than that... no clueYeah, Cholo - those look great! What are they? LA Conf, Bubba or what? They look just like some LA Conf I got on the line. I love the symmetry and the squat, short, stature! Easy to light up a plant like that!
So - seedlings, huh? What's your plan of attack for sexing with the aero unit?
