Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

StinkBud said:

I have a medical marijuana card and I am also a provider for several cancer patients. I lost my father and aunt to cancer. My mother has also lost a breast to cancer. I'm on a mission!

If a patient needs medicine and it takes 12 weeks before their first harvest, what do they do in the mean time? That's where I come in...

I can have 6 mature plant and 18 plants under 12" per patient. I can also have 1.5lbs. of dried material per patient.

This is the main reason I always keep my veg plants under 12" high.

It's my destiny to help others and I do what whatever it takes...

Hi stink, i live in N Ireland and i want to commend you on your work, i hope that their are alot of good human beings like yourself, who will help the sick.
I did not know their were people like you about and i hope that nobody ever comes near your door and if they do, it should be with an award for helping your fellow man.
Good luck and although, i do not believe in god myself, may your God go with you bro.

138 pages down, only 730 to go! Is there a cliff notes version? I'm curious what advances and changes have been made since december 2008!? I'm thinking this system is the way i want to go. With a single 1000 phs for flowering, I'm just left with trying to decide the footprint of the units? And the controller... Any recommendations on these two undecided factors? Thanks Stink for making such thorough posts and sharing your information.

There's a user forum for this system here

Anyone reading long threads like this should adjust their settings to 40 posts per page. It makes things much nicer.

Hey everyone I have been reading through this thread and learned tons of great information. I do have one question that I haven't seen addressed or anyone else have the same issue, but I wanted to bring it up for everyone to be aware. I just set up my aerocloner and got that up and running. I bought the nutradip Tri-meter with the probes that I can leave in the tank.

I was talking to a guy at work who has been working in waste water systems for the last 20 years, and he mentioned to me that to take accurate ph measurements that the water should be circulating and the probe should not be sitting in a dead spot. I am thinking about modifying the pvc a bit and adding a valve inside to manually run the pump and circulate the water to take my readings.
I figured that could help people out to guarantee accurate measurements. I am still reading through to get as much info as possible. Thanks everyone for their hard work and time they put into this.

You don't need to check the ph in the cloner. PH is only an issue when the plants are eating.

hi stinkbud,
i want to thank you for sharing your work with the community. a few bout me. i lost my father when i was 24. he died on lung cancer. my mum followed six years later. she had lever cancer. it was very hard for me to understand an to accept.
two years ago my brother got lung cancer too, he suffered a lot had painful last days. in june 2010 he died. it was really to early cuz he was 48, my father 52 and my mother 58 when they died.
when i got the information, that my brother has cancer, i decided to grow marihuana for him to reduce meds like morphin and other analgetika. unfortunatly the end came quick. so i had some seeds, but not planted.

so i sew the seeds this year and have quite pretty bushes of hemp in my backyard. a few weeks to go for harvest. it was my first grow and there were some probs with the hemp moth. i´m living in a house with a basement. there, i have two rooms with 24 sqm. my plan is to grow indoors with your system stinky, and that´s the reason why i have to thank you for your sharing.
all the best to you,

Wow. Tragic. Good luck with the grow, stranger.

Im hoping to get some feedback on this venture good or bad.
I want to utilize a grow tent and some extra equiptment i have laying around.
I am building a wood frame to hold 4 posts in a V sog type clone grow x2, with a vertical light setup.
The reservoirs will be 27 gallon strong boxes, i can fit 4 ,4in posts with a couple inches between posts comfortably.
My plan is to run 5 clones in each post, for a total of 20 per side.... The tent will have 24 hour air exchange and no co2 bullshit.
Im stuck at this point trying to decide what would be the best angle for the posts?????
Another concern is picking the right strain..
I figure going straight to 12/12 after the clones have a nice set of roots and the plants no more then 3-4 inches tall would be a safe bet.
But if they stretch!! things can go tits up very quick... I want fat little christmas tree lolipop type plants... if they stretch out etc.. it will be a loss.
so to the forum members...
What would be the best angle for the posts?????
what could one expect yield wise growing this way??

disregard the 40 gallon reservoir..it doesnt fit in the tent.

Don't do a vertical grow, do a Stinkbud system grow and take all of that extra time/energy and go surf instead.

My tap water is well water at 300 ppm and is treated w/chlorine only.

I spoke to my water guy and he said mostly what is in there is magnesium and calcium.

I was considering doing one of 2 things
1) cutting the amount of Cal/Mag I put into my Nute mixes.
2) Buying Deionized water and using a 50/50 tap/deionized mix

Any thoughts/solutions/humor would be appreciated.

Best!

300 ppm that's all, try 500. I do a blend of R/O water and the tap water. I bought one of those R/O units at Costco for $115.00. I don't use Cal/Mag even though I got a bottle on stand by. I've been starting out with straight tap water and nutes then using R/O water to replace what evaporates out. Works for me. good luck...

I think I remember reading that you change the EZ clone sprayers every 3 weeks along with your water (or however long it is). Does this mean that you have to re-silicon the fence post cap of your flower NFT units everytime too? My EZ sprayers won't slide under the quarter inch opening of the fence post cap, they're too big.

I remove my sprayers from each of the units after every run and place them in a cup of 1/5th bleach to water for about 5 minutes.. Then I sit them in a cup of water to mix out most of the bleach. I phsycally wash all the pieces I can and I use a garden hose to spray through my pvc manifolds that feed the sprayers. Then just assemble it again with no new PVC, no new sprayers and I rarely ever lose a netcup I just cut the plants out of them when they are done. I reuse everything with the help of Chlorox

P.S. Take your PVC square fence post and turn it side ways, do your sprayers slide out now? IF not you made the whole too small you need to be able to get the rail off the manifold.

Well I'm actually unable to try because my NFT units aren't fully built. All I need to do is zip tie the posts to the frame and attach the caps with silicon tho. It was just a thought that went thru my head last night. I'm going to have to recut the front caps it seems, because I"m sure they wouldn't even fit if I turned the post sideways. And to turn them sideways means you're buying zip ties every 3 weeks...? Or do you not even bother with the zip ties?

I think I misunderstood you.. You do not move the flowering plants typically once they are in the system and you will have no access to the sprayers.. I know you are think OH NO!! what if they clog, don't worry about this just make sure you get the sprayers all the way in, then look through the holes and make sure they are well seated before you put plants into the system.. You can have a removable reservoir you would be able to take that away clean it, the pump and then put it back but after the plants begin to grow you will not get them out of the 4 inch rails without some serious cutting.. Like break a sweat cutting if you did it right.. So now you problem understand it is very important to cull the males first.

What I think is a great idea is to go to http://www.stinkbuddies.com/simplemachinesforum//index.php and make an account as all the people there use this system.

WOW it took me a week to read all 8687 Replied in this thread and I have learned SO MUCH, i will post pics soon of the grow room we are building.
