Mr. Stinkbud,
I have studied the first 200 pages or so of this thread and I intend to read all of it, but I’m going to jump ahead at this point and ask some questions, since I need to know some things now. Before I do, however, I’d like to say that I am grateful for the knowledge you have shared, and I am in awe of your Christ-like ability to forgive the occasional angry, rude and/or stupid poster. You’re a better man than I.
The questions I have are as follows:
1.) I understand that your 3 week clone 3 week veg system results in continuous 3 week harvests, and I understand that you have to expect the plants to double or triple in size when they go into flower. I also understand that you want to limit the fully grown plants’ size because of space considerations, and that the veg time works out for you because you have legal size limits you have to live with. If legal niceties weren’t a factor, what size would you grow to in veg? If legalities and space weren’t a factor, what size would you grow to?
2.) Similarly, you described your light systems for clone, veg, and flower, and said that some of the lights were being used simply because that’s what you had, and you also mentioned that you would like to try T5HOs. If you had to start over and if space, money and heat don’t matter too much, what , in your opinion, would the perfect light system look like for each stage?
3.) Do you ever smoke through a vaporizer, and if so, can you recommend one?
4.) My plants are in soil right now, and I will be switching to your system shortly. But because I am about to move to a different home, I have to time my harvest to happen before the move and not start clones until after I’ve moved. What I would like to do is bring everything to harvest, reveg my 4 best plants, move taking the plants with me, and then start my new grow with clones from the revegged mothers. Would this give me clones that will be slow to veg, that is, are these clones going to be as viable and productive as ones from non-harvested mothers?
5.) I believe you said you have clones under 24 hour continuous light and then switch to 18/6 at veg. Is that correct?
6.) How tall would a container have to be so that the plants’ roots in veg wouldn’t reach a submersible pump?
7.) How often and how much do you trim leaves, if at all? Is there a guiding philosophy that you use, for instance, would you say that leaves provide the energy that plants need to grow, and that is more important to the final harvest weight than removing them and allowing light to reach lower bud sites?
8.) What would be your 5 top picks for plant strains that grow fast but not too tall, produce a lot, and are mostly sativa?
9.) I read your bubble hash procedure but I’m still confused …do you use strainer bags because the trichomes fall off the leaves and the bags sift them out (and therefore the leaves all pretty much have to be trim from the harvest, I would think), or do the bags somehow sift out the THC from all kinds of leaves, such as trim from veg plants? If not, what do you do with those leaves?
OK, before everyone jumps all over me because I strayed outside the specific subject of Stinkbud’s thread with a few of these questions, let me say this: I have asked some of these questions before here and on other forums (fora? forae? fori? ..forget it), and I don’t always get an answer that I believe. I believe Stinkbud.
All the best,

These are all great questions that I'd be willing to answer as I've been doing the SB method for over a year now. It's clear, however, that you're looking for answers from SB himself. I'd highly suggest you visit www.stinkbuddies.com where a lot of people there share great info on this exact growing method. This thread has slowed down considerably due to the fact that it's actually become a website now instead! Occasionally, Stinkbud will make appearances there as well. Good luck with your quest for answers

Go to Stinkbuddies forums there is so many people using this system now. Stinkbud is getting tired, please you guys ask other people. Do you have any idea how many times he has answered the same questions!! Shit I am tired for supporting now already too, you get beaten down. There are people over there that will help you just go ask them.

What water numbers are these numbers for your nuts based off of?

You're going to have to try harder than that bro if we're going to understand you. Unless I'm really high
My guess is you're talking about a TDS meter that is dipped into a water/nutrient-mixed reservoir. The tip is able to read the precise amount of salt (nutrients) within water solution making up your parts of salt per million parts of water (ppm)

I recently built 3 flowering units, the veg unit and the cloner. I have three 1000w lights, I am planning to flower each unit under its own light. I'm wondering what I should expect from each unit, using CO2. Will one flowering unit be sufficient to utilize a single 1000w light? Or would some of the light be wasted? after vegging 3 weeks, should 14 plants fill out enough space for the 1000w?
The size of the room is roughly 12' x 11'. At first i was planning to put one light in its own corner, the 4th corner is the entryway. But alot of space seems wasted, so I was thinking of lining up the 3 lights along one side of of the 12' length, then using a corner to section off for the vegging unit and cloner, using a 600w and cfls on the clones.
If I line up the lights along one side, i could squeeze in up to 6 flowering units, putting 2 under each 1000w light. I'm not sure if that would be overkill or not. I really want to maximize the yield from each 1000w light for each harvest.
What is a realistic goal using Stinkbuds complete setup, cloner, vegger, 3 flowering units per 3-week harvest each using its own 1000w? Should I still only expect 1 pound? If so, would adding more plants into each harvest help me yield more?
also if i were to extend each flowering unit so that it held 2 more fence posts with 7 sites each and figured out a way to get it to drain into the res, would the one pump be enough for all 4 fence posts?

Get yourself a light mover. You'll have to figure out a way to move all three lights with one mover. So long as your reflectors aren't that heavy, you should be fine with just one mover. It'll be worth it with what you're trying to do and it'll give you a more even canopy.
That's just something you're going to have to gauge for yourself. There are so many variables that increase or decrease yield so just get out there and try it and document your results.
Yes, one pump will suffice, however, the pump will have to be AT LEAST twice the amount of GPH. So, according to SB, you'll need a 396 GPH pump for two fence posts. In your case, with 4 fence posts, you'll need at least 792 GPH

Hey Mejuana and Jimmy,
Thank you for the direction. I have joined the SB site and will bother them for awhile. Please, Jimmy, if you have an answer(s) to one of my questions, I would be grateful if you would share it.
All the best,

I'll do one question at a time at least for tonight
The bottom line is that the longer you veg, the larger and more vigorous they'll grow. With the SB setup, it doesn't exactly allow for plants to veg for an extremely long time. If you have 13 sites on the Rubbermaid Roughneck it can get crowded. I've vegged plants anywhere between 6-8 weeks and they usually get overcrowded once they've reached that time. Luckily, by then, it's time for me to flower them.
So, it's up to you. If you're going to veg longer than 3, 6, or 8 weeks, consider your space and your strain and even more important, your pheno

It's nice to know some low-life took my DVD and made it available to everyone for free. It took me hundreds of hours to create the material and because of places like Torrent I have nothing to show for it.

2) The best thing to do is give us the layout of the room you're working with or will be working in. I think you'll get a lot of different responses if money and space were not a factor. Ultimately, what you want to do is not waste light regardless of setup. If you'll be using a 400W MH (or multiple ones depending on the size you're looking at) then it's most important to note the amount of plants you'll be placing under whatever size bulb you'll be using.
3) I only own and use this... https://www.wholesalevaporizers.com/ ... All I can say about these vaporizers is 'quality'
4) If you can avoid stressing the plants, do so. But the best thing to do would be to take clones before going into 12/12, allow them to root in the meantime, and then once they've vegged for a few weeks take clones once more and do your move. It should be in just the right time of harvest

can420 Stinkbud has reduced the recommended sites to only 10 on the Stinkbud SR units, new plans are available at Stinkbuddies site.. We at the Stinkbud forums have also recommended STAGGER CUTTING the holes. So universally we agree with Stinkbud that 10 sites is in fact better than 14 BUT 8 sites don't seem to pack on anymore than 10 though. That is really how it came down to the now 10 site system.
Stinkbud no good deed goes unpunished bitch. (Come on guys I will kick him in his face you grab his wallet, hey anyone have dibs on his wife yet)
P.S. Stinkbud you have some people here who will always love you, you will always be in our hearts. We'd all personally rip the assholes apart who stole from you. Sorry this world sucks so fucking hard brother. Please take your break and come back to us, you have real friends
