Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Finally got my third sys up and running and one about three or so weeks out :b

I need more light to get my bulk up and stop the streching
Yea, light seems to be at a bit of a shortage there. Remind me, that's a single 600 and you're getting 2 more or are you going all out and get 3 more? I'm jealous, that room looks real nice, you're gonna get some awesome harvests. I wish I had that much room.

How big is that room? Are you going to add CO2 after you get the lights? You will have to seal up your lights for CO2 don't forget. Forgive me if these things have already been discussed, I'm a bit :eyesmoke:

LionsRoor.. you setup is exactly like what I've got in the works also.. very nice setup.


I'm also looking into a recycle timer relay setup, and if I can get it all worked out, ill post it up here for all you DIYers.
Thanks! Cool - I would love to see what you can do with the timer relay - you've seen AndyMan's right? Not sure what approach you are taking? Are you actually building the timer and the relay - or making a relay to use a timer of your choice? Either way - good luck. Hope to see it soon!

Could you mount 1 or 2 additional red sprayers inside the res to circulate the nuiet solution? It would also add a little more oxygen and that would not hurt :)

Just make sure the pump yopu use has the ability to handle the additionl sprayers

Just a thought
Not sure they would create much of a stir - but I like the idea. Perhaps mount two 180 degree spray heads, or simply drill two small holes on the feet of two diagonally opposing legs of the spray assembly, to create a 'whirlpool' effect. ...not sure if it will work. Submerged under water, the spray heads may effectively clog due to the pressure of submersion... there may be no "stir" at all! Only one way to find out... Let us know how it works!

Hello Stinkbud...i m sorry if it''s a repeat question...
you say〝No medium is used. Basically the plants grow in air.〞(IT mean no rockwood or anything)
i really dont know the meaning,i have no idea about how to steady the clone or plant in the netpot, if it Has no medium?
thanks for your reply~~

you can start from seeds and introduce into the medium less system as they grow (has its pro's and con's)

i think your question should be,
how to transplant a clone with a medium into the system

which is something I'm currently contemplating
as i can get some really good female clones, but they are in a Rockwell cube

thinking out of the box
i believe the solution is to simply
remove some of the Rockwell cube as possible without hurting the plant
and then place it the NFT system with some Rockwell still attached (which cant really hurt)

going out on a limb to answer for stinkbud.:arrow:
dirt is there to support plants from its base.
aeroponics has no medium to hold it. you tie the stalk to something like a post or clothsline. as it gets bigger you need more support to hold it up. If the stem is not held up by something like a net or clothsline or post it would just fall over.
ya have to stop thinking like a dirt grower to understand. :idea:
hope this answered your ?:weed:

STINK... I always look at your pics and compare to mine. especially AK .. mine dont seem to be as dense and thick as yours... is it the co2? maybe i should strengthen my nutes? ive kept them at 2000ppm .. Today is the end of the 7th week and i am supposed to start my flush. But like i said they dont seem as dense as i was hoping. I wondered what you think. Should i give it a few more days before i start the flush?


first pic is AK47

thanks and yours truly THE PREGNANT MOTHER

stink i have a question pertaining to your c02 system, i have the first two components of your room built and looking to start the third i would like to know what components the c02 system pertains of so i dont over or under buy materials
Minimum is a tank, regulator and timer. About $300 total.

A CO2 monitor works best though. It will sample the room and turn on the CO2 when needed. A controller will run you at least $400 plus you still need the tank and regulator so you are looking at around $700 for the best system.

Looks great fun!!! You can never have too much light.

Better get some PVC pipe plant support up before they start falling over. Those buds will get heavy bro!

Keep up the good work bro! Your making me proud:hump:.

Well HongKong Girl, I thought I would offer my 2 cents about your question. I believe that when you are working with the clones in this system, that the neoprene collar holds it upright in the net pot. Once it gets some roots it will get more stable. Then like some one said, as they get taller you tie the stems to the supports. The plants don't NEED medium to support them, and they don't need it to stay wet, because this system provides the plants with both of those. Hope that helps.

Now a question for you HongKong Girl. Do you actually live in Asia or I suppose in Hong Kong? How is the weed over there? Is it hard to find? Is there much selection in what you smoke?

The clones and veg plants don't get big enough to need support. They are held in place by the neoprene collar.

On the Aero/NFT system you will notice the PVC plant support is built into the frame. The plants are tied to the supports with bread ties.

I had the same problem, I bought some clones from a local dispensary and they all came in rock wool cubes. However when I tryed to remove the rock wool on one of them, disaster, it pulled the roots out!

I still put it in the cloner to see if it will resprout roots, and it's only been 4 days so I'll keep an eye on it. As for the others, I just stuck the whole cube in the net pot and put the neoprene collars ontop, you kinda have to squish the rock wool a bit to get it to fit in the small 2" pots. They all seem to be doing fine as of now.

Only issue I see is over watering since the rock wool acks like a spoonge. If you have an adjustable timer, try going longer than 1 on 5 off since the rock wool is absorbant. Other than that, once the roots hang down several inches outside of the pot, it doesn't matter, go back to 1/5.

You can try to cut away some of the rock wool, but be carefull!

Oh yea, and of course remove the plastic wrap on the rock wool, or else it it will block most of ur sprayers.

A lot depends on the phenotype. Even though the girls come from the same parents dosen't make them all the same. Just like brothers and sisters are different, every seed is a little different. This new AK pheno I have is not dense at all.

I just took my last AK47 out over 10 weeks and it still looked like it could use another 2 weeks! I've decided to ditch the longer Sativa strains I'm running.

I'm only going to grow what I really like to smoke. I've narrowed it down to 5 strains, Blueberry, Purple Silver, Goo, Snowbud and Diesel. They all finish about the same time and are dank as fuck!

As far as flushing goes a lot will happen the last two weeks. The flush is like a signal to the plants to finish up. The new growth will stop and the buds will ripen up.

You really don't know what's going to happen the first time. That's where experience will help you. In two months you will know just by looking at the plants when to start the flush.

I use a calendar to keep a general idea of my time line but it is just a reference and not the final word.

Your plants are looking great!!

after looking at Dirt's buds i wanted to post some more bud porn, here are a couple pics of my girls at 6wks, i know this isnt the SB system, but i did start these with an aero cloner, and plan on converting my stadium into SB style system when the money becomes available. enjoy
