Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Hey, I have a aeroclone - aeroponic system transfer question.

I grew my aeroclones up to about 16" of roots and the clones developed a new layer or two of growth before transfer.

I did not anticipate how much stress it would be to transfer my aeroclones into the 4" round aero chambers.

I noticed this is generally the stink method. My question is...

1) will my plants ever recover from that transfer?

2)how does stink do it all while in 12/12. I can barely get them to recover in 24/7 light still.


pictures show the rhizoshere with wound up ball of root mass where i dropped them into the 4" chambers

Pics also show that wilting continues after 3 days of attempted recovery in 24 light. They were all pointing to the heavens while in the cloner.

Looking at your picture from the top, they look fine. I've had some wilt a good bit more than yours and they ALL came out fine. :bigjoint:
 
Stink I have a question, what is your way to flush currently, I have sweet or clearex and I was thinking about a week of clearex and week of sweet. also you start your flush at week 8, how can you visually tell that they are ready to flush.

was wondering about the flush too
i bought a gallon of clearex and dont want to waste it

hes just using sweet in place of clearex. check page 433. i did the same thing and have a gallon of clearex, it comes in handy for cleaning the rez's and everything, trust me it wont be wasted, i dont use clearex in my flush anymore either and i still go thru a lot.
 
Cloner/Vegger Question:

Stinkbuds calls for 3 weeks in the cloner then 3 weeks in the vegger.

Is it possible to use just 4 weeks to do this instead of the 6?

Yes it's possible.

I run 4 flower units with an 8 week cycle. Everything rotates every 2 weeks.

In fact.. tonight is the unfortunate night.
 
ok, i got a question for ya stink......or any of you more qualified folks. i have a 1000w hps with a 6' light mover. how many runs wide can i go? like 3 tubes/fence posts or 6? how far apart do i have to give em'? and how much of the 6' rail can i use before it doesnt help. i'm thinking my 6' long square pvc fence posts and about 4-6 of them together. and about a foot or less between each plant for 1 harvest of as many as i can get as opposed to the perpetual crop. i still run perpetual in my flood tables but i want a monster crop the stinkbud way. and i just need to know how much i can cram in there realisticaly. thanks guys/gals.

I just finished my flush. This time I tried Clearex for 24 hours and then 450ml of Sweet for the rest of the flush. I flushed for 6 days this time.

Watch for the hairs to start turning orange. After a while you will know from experience when to start your flush.

any advice is welcome, or a reference point. been reading from the beginning and wow, this sucker's long.
 
Ok... Tonight I looked at some photos here... Big Mistake...

My (hopefully) girls are far beyond the photos I have seen... My seeds cracked on 3/26. I didn't even buy my first piece of PVC until 3/28.

My plants are about 22 days old. Most of my plants are 12" tall :twisted: Their roots are heading thru the drain hole and heading for the bottom rez. WTF... Is this normal???

My PPM is currently 900 I'm using the same nutes as Stink... I'm started with distilled H2O.

Do I keep adding nutes and raising the light?

I just turned off their lights early tonight, because I think The Little Shop of Horrors is growing in my guest room :weed:

Someone in this thread said put them into Veg at 12" tall. But does that work with seeds as well as clones?

HELP...

Hey thanks for reply repvip, how tall are the plants at 4 weeks vs 6? I know every strain is different so a rough idea is cool. I thought I read you were trying out leds in veg/cloner and the 350w in flower. How are you liking the leds for veg? Were you using fluorescents before the leds and can you compare them? Thanks
 
mr. stinkbud might i ask for your two cents on my question from the previous page. So far I have 1 vote of confidence, but hark, i have 1 question.

when you drop your clones into your system the roots are like 9 yards long right? So, how does that work exactly. Are you able to recover them while in 12/12 still? Mine are just now turning around and thinking about new growth aft er 4 days of 24/7 light.

Thanks a lot for looking.

My plants are 7" apart but could use more room.

I think a 4 ft run for your light mover would cover everything. Another light would be even better!
 
I went to get my MMJ license renewed yesterday. I found out that they changed the law so you can only have a total of 4 patients per grow site.

Before it was 4 patients per provider. So I was able to put two of my patients in my wife's name. That way I could provide for more than just my limit of 4.

Now I have to either find another place besides the one I have or drop two of my patients. There is no way I can afford another grow area.

So now I have to pick which two patients I have to drop. I'm crying as I type this:cry:. I just don't know how I'm going to do it.

I really care about these people...

I can tell you one thing though. My patients won't go without medicine because of some stupid fucking law.

Time to cash in some Karma.

I've never seen any stress on my plants when I take them to flower. In fact they go off big time right from the start!

Might I suggest following my directions exactly. Everything is on Page 75.

You need to use my nutrient formula. You will find that organic nutrients are better in every way.

The fact is, if you grow from seed you are going to have one hell of a big harvest.

Even if you take them into flower now they will still want another extra week or two to start flowering.

Start topping them now. If you don't have your flower system built yet, now is the time.

As soon as you have your fence post system put the plants in and set your lights to 12/12. Be prepared for an extra 2 weeks on top of the normal flowering time.

Plants have to reach a certain maturity before they can start flowering. Just like us..

What you look for is the leaf structure. When the side stems first come out of the main stem they are symmetrical. For every side stem there is another side stem on the opposite side.

Once the plant reaches maturity the side stems will start to grow asymmetrical. One stem will come out and then you will have a gap. Then the other stem will form higher up than the last.

When you see the stems coming out asymmetrical then you know the plant is mature enough to flower.

You will also see pre-flowers form at this time. Time wise you're looking at 6-8 weeks minimum depending on the strain.

When I get a long root ball from my veg unit I just cut off the end. The plants never even know it.
 
Very sorry to hear they changed the law in Oregon. I know from your posts that you are a very caring individual and that this is quite devastating to you. I'm sure a way will be found to make sure your patients are provided for. Keep a stiff upper lip, Stink. You do God's work in your own beautiful way.

Thanks Stink!
I'm sorry to hear about the change in your state laws. Remain positive, the answer will come to you. There has to be a Stink Buddy up there to help out.

I researched the seeds I'm growing. They are mostly sativa. (Hawaiian X Cotton Candy) X Neville's Haze = Monster trees.

I got the seeds from another MM patient who grows outside. I figured I would kill the plants my first time so I tossed them into the Stink system. I had no idea they would actually grow this well.

I saw the Uncle Ben's 2-4 mail cola's thread, should I use that as my guide?

I have 6 nodes in 23 days :shock:
