So how many different strains are you putting in one rig now'a'days? I think after I find the pheno I like of this strawberry haze to move on to another strain ,thinking Jedi OG, but you know want to be cautious not to poison/deprive one or the other.

Also just outta curiosity, what low snow gotta do with getting hammered in the summer for Cali outdoor? Just signs of a hot summer or no water shaping into ground or something else.

Virtually every hole in my system has a unique strain. I have a few store bought seeds, Kosher Kush, Green Love Potion and Blue Cheese. The rest of my strains are all one-off. I'm going to pick the best 4 strains and stick with those.

Low snow means no water during the hottest months of Summer. A lot of outdoor growers depend on naturally occurring water. I imagine we will see a lot of creativity over the next season. But the real tragedy of no snow is that the snowboarding sucked this season. I should be getting face shots of light fluffy powder. Instead it's warm, sunny and it's only February !

Yeah Boston doent know where to put all it's snow...how about dumpin in the emerald triangle

We used to just dump it in the harbor, but because of the chemicals they use on the roads that's a no-no nowadays. We need to look at more arctic climates and how they deal with it, i believe they have snow melting equipment, not just removal equipment.
I was looking for the video of Russian snow equipment the had helicopter turbines mounted on the front, they just drive down the road melting everything in front of them.

G'day StinkBud(dies),

SB - I'd first like to thank you (and the stinkbuddies, of course) for the tireless effort, patient and loving stewardship, and all around growing knowledge you've put into this topic. I've made it to page 319 so far (although a forum upgrade seems to have changed the post ordering as I've already read about missing page 420) and am looking forward to the updates that are proven to have occurred from skipping to the end a few times. :wink:

I hope to honor you with my 1st post on RUI since serendipity led me here.
I've had a lifelong interest (although with hit and miss results) in MJ growing and this system, while not absolutely perfect, seems as close as I've ever seen as well as very economical so I'm ready to give it a go again.

I've just recently made an order w/ your fellow OR residents oregongreenseed to start an indoor grow and over-clone a bursting quiver for an upcoming season of "set-n-forget" (at least until flower) guerrilla gardening.

I am ready to gather the elements necessary to build a SB system, but want to finish the thread and make sure I incorporate the upgraded elements that the experience of you all has already proven to bring. I might even have a few suggestions (only for the sake of engineering/efficiency) that may not have been brought up yet (although I'm sure they've probably all been thought of already and want to read all the thread and I want to do a bit of research before suggesting).

As soon as I get seed and start off on my quest I'll make sure to create a grow journal to document my experience with my seed retailer, the variety/quality/vitality/effect of their products, my particular version of the SB system, and it's overall outcome.

I hope to have this as my 1 and only space wasting post to this thread and posted it only to thank SB and you all for creating/supporting what I think will be an ultimate system for the individual to pursue their dreams!

Salut! :leaf:

Welcome bro! Feel free to party with the plans. That's how I got started. I did a trade for my first aeroponic system and used it for a few crops before I started thinking, "I can make this better". My number one concern was to stop the leaks! I had my grow room upstairs and one day I came home to dripping water through the ceiling of my living room! My first system had all the sprayers fed by external hoses. Every connection was a potential leak. The smallest drip became a disaster. The system also used round PVC pipes with 2" inserts to hold the netpots. What a shitload of work! The pipes were kept from rolling by inserting them into wood end clamps.

I got the idea for the fence post when I was at Home Depot one day. I was actually looking for some rain gutters like they use on the side of homes. I thought I could figure out some sort of cover and they would work perfect. Then I saw the fence posts out of the corner of my eye and just about shit myself! I'm sure other people have already came up with the idea but for me it was like, "Fuck Yea"! They even had end caps you could buy.

So one of my main goals was to make is as simple as possible. It also had to be cheap. Over the years I refined the system and also experimented with different types of growing. I even went back to old-school soil for awhile. The truth is I've had pretty good luck with everything. All the old school growers have already done the work for us. Not to mention all the nutrient companies have great products now.

It still all comes down to one thing... Genetics. No matter what, after a few years of growing the actual process won't be hard anymore. Then you can focus on what really matters. At some point you'll tackle the Holy Grail and create your own strain. Hand it out and a part of you will live forever. I firmly believe people will be smoking OG Kush a hundred years from now...

Hi guys. Been a while. Just stopping by to see if this thing is still going, and I'm proud to see this thread going strong.

Anyway, Bud, we got all of your snow out this way by accident and your welcome to have some of it back. :lol:

Day 28 in flower for my girls, they are at 2600 PPM and loving life. I did push them a little bit when I changed the res the first time in flower. I've added Hydroplex to my lineup though. I can't wait till they are done, already have slight hues of purple (Grand Doggy Purps). I'll be moving this under the 1000w for the next run, and put DWC buckets in the tent for space. I ran out of head room, should have done more LST.

If you can be very gentle you should be able to tuck and weave done of those so your canopy won't be so high. Looks good and healthy tho. Keep it up. Look forward to seeing some Granddoggy Purps

Going to string some ties together and tie them over day by day. Next time I'm going to top and train them for the start.

You're off to a great start bro. That strain looks like it has a lot of Sativa in it. They do tend to stretch! I'd bend the fuck out of those girls. If you fuck up and break the branch just tell everyone you're super-cropping (which is true).

Right now I have 4 plants in one rack and 7 plants in another. They both look the same from a distance. The only difference is veg time. The more you veg, the bigger the plants. Next time when you veg your plants keep topping/training them until you completely fill the rack with green goodness. You want one layer about 6-12" thick of nothing but leaves and stems. You shouldn't be able to see the rails when you go to flower. The more internodes the better. Every internode is going to produce a bud.

I left one of the plants alone and didn't top it. I want it to have one huge cola! At harvest time I'l set up my (photo) lights and backdrop. Gel the back light with a cool color and shoot some photos. Photography is all about the lighting. 7 weeks to go until D-Day.

I plan on making the move to LED lights, so my node spacing will be much better. I'm running a 400w LED now in another room, and it makes such a difference on node spacing! This was my first try, and I can't wait to try it again but with more knowledge to train them a bit better.
