just wondering how it does in nft. i know stink's system is aero/nft
but i'm just throwin em' in a regular ol' nft set up. 2 runs with 12 per run and a 1000w hps over em' with a light mover. 30 gallon tub aerated with the pump runnin 24/7. so my questions are
how long in flower? 8 0r 9 weeks
and height of the plants...did you top them?
and yield per plant.
mine are in trays & get about 40'' tall and i'm doing good to get an ounce off them. i lollipop them but don't top them.

thanks
bump for dago....

Ok stink and gang... I manged to get al the way to harvest time without bothering you guys along the way and realley diving in to the thread. I really appreciate the community like spirit in info sharing and I am very gratefull. COuld you guys take a look at my albulm link below. I am very concerned that my buds arennot compact enough at all and just plain underdeveloped. Any sueggestions would be most hlpefull. STrain is mazzar and and this is week 7 12-12 using stinks to the t instructions and res is flushed right now

Im at 5 weeks with one of my racks and the DAM!! yellowing has started again.

I know its not a heat problem beacuse the highest the temps in the room gets is 87. An its mostly not yellowing at the top near the lights, but low random leaves.
I think it may be an over fert problem?

Stink? or lion? or any of yall? In my journal and earlier pics ( before i started using RO water and c02) the plants stayed green all the way to the flush.

My thinking and i may be wrong but when using my 600ppm tap water i would bring the ppm to 2000ppm in the flower res. And the plants didnt yellow.

Maybe beacuse im bringing the ppm to 2000ppm with clean 0ppm water its too much?????
and the leaves are getting an overload and cant hold that much nutes?

I am flushing with clean water for 24 hours in this rack and need some input on what to do with the nutes afterward?

Man I cant help out to much but I got this book that shows deficiencys in plants from the looks in your pic it might be a Magnesium def , I am using ro water right now and its kickin my ass on calcium def , I also went over on my ppm and got a little nute burn , So I drained out three gallons and just went back with straight ro water and that helped , But as I said I started getting that calcium def again ?Anyway man good luck !:peace:

do you really need a second second bucket as a reservoir for the aero-pcloner? cant you make it all in one tube with the spray manifold resting just above the reservoir at the bottom, all in one tub? i have not actually built one of these though i plan on doing it soon. do the roots get too long to use only one bucket? seems like you could drop the extra bucket.

did you mean the veg unit? the cloner is only one res.

I thought of doing that in the beggining too with the veg unit. But the roots get super long during veg and would grow all together, they would be sitting in water after a week. you would have to do a lot of root cutting before moving to flower not to mention the less water you have in a res means more ph fluctuations.

I have a newbie question. I have been using a drip system for veg. and ebb n flood for flowering. both are easy to take the tops off and check PPM and PH. I just started a week ago transforming over to stinks system. I have a Veg. unit built and running so far. Built to stink's specs, I only have a 2" hole in the rez to check everything. As long as the water level is right then all is well with checking. But if I add PH up or down (and soon will be adding nutes) there is not a easy way to stir the mixture. Everything stays in the corner where the hole is for a while. Is there a way to get everything stirred quicker so I can get my measurements without turning off the pump and seperating the two totes so I can move along with my schedule quicker?

add one air stone. That will mix it well.

hows the PH fluctuation?
if the tap water added 600 ppm, i would start off 600 ppm lower and dial it in from there..

is it with all strains or only certain ones? could be some kind of deficiency..

im having the same problems, and usually start about 6 weeks in.. but my racks went thru some neglect, and ppm and ph were not kept in check.. so im thinking thats why it has happened to me. but if your on top of those then its got to be some kind of deficiency..

Just give em time. I have that strain and I think its a little longer than the seed companys say. It might be more sativa phenotype. My mazzar is outside and its flowering allready for some reason.:confused: Not sure why its flowering before any of my other outdoor ones.

Also guys FYI the veg and or flower systems work great outside as long as you keep the res shaded so it doesnt get to hot. They grow so fast Im making single bucket units with 90gph pumps in them and 2 or 3 spray heads. Its like free light lol.:peace:

the fumes from burning or super heated pvc are toxic
when Pvc is heated or melted it gives of a gas called hydrochloride acid,it is harmful to plant and us as well do not breath this shit, I blve it was used in germ by Hitler to exterminate with, but I could be wrong on that one... in en case this is what peep run into when they get there grow 2 hot and the pvc iteracts killing plantlife. but no worries here

So Stink, If you are running your room to 85 with the CO2, how do you keep the res temps in check ? I'm seeing the reservoirs go up to 78-79 and got the root rots happening on one post.

I flushed, cleaned the res, fresh nutes, then added some hygrozime to fix, but wondering how to keep the water cool when the room is so warm.
