Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Anyone try Advanced nutrients in comparison to Botanicare? Do people just say AN is better because they are expensive? Why does AN users use Sweet anyway, doesn't AN have a decent sweet?

IMHO, Advanced Nutrients products are nothing but snake oil; I mean how many products can you have that triple your harvest, university verified? Botanicrap is watered down and even with their additives, do not provide a full regiment of nutrition to our lovely ladies.

To truly discover the best your genetics have to offer, there are two very good choices when it comes to Canna specific nutrients; House and Garden and Cutting Edge Solutions. Both of these company's products deliver a stable and effective solution that maximize the potential of the plants' genetics.

While both are very effective, Cutting Edge Solutions is more economical per run (~$100 cheaper than H&G when buying for 2-3 months) and is also made in the US.

Thanks Gringo I appreciate it I have heard about House and Garden being good. Probably just stay away from AN then

Well said Gringo!!! I wasted $450 on the AN crap and felt like I was a fooking chemist the whole time. What a pain in the ass.

So far so good...

Nice bro, I put some in last week we will harvest together. Pulled 6 males / 4 females of 15 plants so far though it has only been 1 week

Gringo that's cool as I said I follow your posts, I follow his. I am just ab observer, + thiz shiz is not ma business

A few questions; please give me a few anwsers.

1) Im planning on running 3 strains, can this be done with just one veging unit. Or do I need two. (PLanning on 3 flower units, 1 Clone)

2) Right now I have 2 1000w lights I can use. My tent is 8x8, when I work out the lumens per sq foot it seems a little low( 4500lumens per sq foot). With three need (6000 or so) three.

1) Plants rarely exhibit specific needs over others during the vegetative cycle. That said, I've run a dozen strains in one veg unit without issue, it's when in flowering that it's advisable to only run the same or similar strains per unit.

2) Seeing as the footprint for most 1Ks is 4'-5' squared, I would personally run 4 1Ks in that space, if heat can be managed.

3)Uh, 42?

awesome set-up

Hey Gringo! First of all, let me say, that you have greatly helped my stinkbud grows and grow op in general with your many great suggestions! Things like stresszyme, odor control with the zeolite bags, keeping my mothers healthy, and many, many more suggestions and knowledge by you has been extremely helpful and appreciated! And as a member of stinkbuddies.com from basically the beginning, I miss having you and your knowledge around. That being said, Gringo, man, you got to stop with the sniping and bashing of Stinkbud...it just makes you seem bitter and causes my admiration for you to decline....look, I don't know exactly what happened between you and Stinkbud...He may have said somethings and done somethings that deeply offended you...and you probably did somethings and said somethings and maybe overstepped a bit and that deeply offended him...and your relationship going down the tubes (among other things) lead to him kicking you and some other people off the site and taking down a lot of info and posts(it is his site, by the way). Do I and other members wish that all that messy stuff didn't happen? Of Course! Do we wish you and some of the other members were still there? Of Course we do! (well, maybe most of us) But, unfortunately, it didn't work out that way for whatever reason...It is what it is now, and you popping up every once in a while to make fun off, take a swipe at, and talk derogatory about stink, and actually cuss someone out (even though you had a smiley face there) makes you seem petty and spiteful...I don't know you personally, but from reading your many posts and learning from your experiments and experience and knowledge and seeing how many people that you were helping out, led me to believe that you were and are a very compassionate and enthusiastic part of our great cannabis growing community. Please don't spoil my being a fan of yours by posting derogatory remarks and such...

Also, about stinkbud and him trying to sell stuff...Man, and I realize that this is just my opinion, if someone actually built something that works wonderfully and better than any other growing method that I have ever tried (even if it is just a redesign of methods that have already been out there) and then actually shared it with thousands of people for free...there is no way that I am going to get upset, if he then tries to profit from it! I don't care if he is trying to sell little stinkbud popsicles...He has earned that right!! I have been using stinkbud's system for about three grows now, i have been a member of his website from the beginning...I have built a cloner, and veg unit, and flowering system all from his plans and designs that he took the time and effort to plan out and post, and you know how much money I have given to the website or stinkbud himself...Absolutely nothing! Zero, nada! And I have been enjoying some of the best tasting, best looking, organic medicine that I have ever had...Now, I plan on donating in the future when my financial situation improves, but I have never felt pressured into giving money or buying things from him at all. So, I think this "be careful he is a snake oil salesman" or "watch your wallet" thing, is and will fall on deaf ears, because there is no obligation to buy or give anything...Because of the great help that Stinkbud has been to me and countless others, I hope and pray that he can earn a substantial income from what he has done and started. I definitely think he has earned that right!

Gringo, I wish you were still part of the stinkbud community...like I said, you are missed...Even though I don't know all the details, I know what happened between the two of you was serious and there were some very hurt feelings along the way, but, let's move past the sniping and name-calling...even though I don't know you personally, from what I do know, you are too good a person to stoop to that level...let's put it behind us and move on...

PS. the reason that this is my first post (member since August 2008 ) is because I am usually just a "lurker" and not a poster here on this site...I just finally felt compelled to...

Okay, Gringo...you are right, I don't know exactly what happened...and I am sorry if my "long post" took too much of your time (what was I thinking?)...I was just expressing my opinion, I guess it was too long for your taste...and I guess my saying over and over again that you were and are appreciated for what you contributed and how much I learned from you doesn't matter to you..."sigh"....So, I will leave it at that and have said my piece...I was just hoping that we could move on from the anger and obviously hurt feelings...I guess not...

By the way, why don't you just spell out what happened? I mean at this point, why are you holding back?...throwing names around and cussing and talking in generalities is not really going to persuade people one way or the other, especially those that have been tremendously helped (I know, I know you don't care what I think) If you truly want to give us a "fair and balanced angle," than tell us what really happened so we can hear your side of the story and make a decision one way or another. Just saying that he made false claims and statements and saying that he is "scamming" people, without providing details, is basically just pointing fingers and calling names. Again, I know you don't care what I think, but the way I see it...either man up and let us know exactly what really happened or just give it a rest.

there needs to be more people in the world that think like this.

Got my lights from HTG, I already had 1000w magnetic and I am adding 1000w digital + 600w digital. The 600w digital works great, the 1000w digital fried the bulb in less than 5 minutes. Frankly I think the 600w digital HPS is as bright as my 1000w magnetic, but it is an Argomax 600 bulb to a Growbright 1000. Anyway I am sure HTG will make it right this is the way with digital so I have read.. By the way both Digital Greenhouse ballasts

Thank you, Gringo, for your side of the story. Now I understand what you feel happened...I needed to know that...It helps me to make a decision...

Thanks, Mejuana for the update! I'll be waiting patiently!

Holy crap this is an awesome method

Here are a couple shots of the variation on this method that I spoke of earlier without the ez clone nozzles or any tubes inside the 4x4's at all 1/2" pvc feed line and 1.5" pvc drains, water in one end and out the other. works fantastic those girls are 21 days into flower.

Then water pours right in through those elbows and drains back in rest. I get the flower one, I don't understand the veg

I don't use the veg unit, they stay in cloner until flower 21 - 24 days. the only tube set up I use is for flower.
