i did this on my first system and the inside bead of silicon did not get enough air to set properly. the next morning after set up i had this white sticky froth clogging everything. it took 4 hours to clean everything including roots. i then found a silicon that sets in 2 hours at lowes and it works great no leaks at all. i also was having a leak proplem with the veg and clone units-yes i used rubbermaid. i used this rope weatherstrip from lowes or walmart and used one strip around the outside top edge of the container and have not had a leak since.

roar thanks for the help earlier can you or any buddies way in on my first harvest pics.. I am afraid that i may either have branches on the lower part that have hemie buds. I cant tel if they are seeds or if i just harvested to ealry and the pods are actual what would nomally turn in to bud. I know this is wau noob but my brain hurts. It to a lot to get this poin seing how i never planted as much as a daisy befor and wen straight for aero... Thanks again her is the albulm with harvest pics. this plant was dp mazzar and was fem seed.

same exact thing happened to me, now i use the clear aquarium silicone, its dry in like 30 min and you dont need much.

on another note, if anyone gets a chance to try stinks 'drought harvest', you would be doing yourself a massive favor

My temps are running very high in the closet!!

I just purchased the GrowPanel Pro from http://mmjspots.com/forum/growers/leds after chatting with him for a hour or so online. Any members of RIU that purchases something just needs to mention "RIU" in the payment notes, and he will throw in a shirt and some stickers for free!

Anyhow I had purchased a fan speed controller to keep the temps down but unfortunately the second I try to go to variable mode and turn it down, the temps fly off the handle! This is the absolute main reason why I am switching to LED's. Everything else with Stinks system is absolutely perfect.

Stinkbud you really ought to pat yourself on the back for all you have contributed to the community. I know you must hear this countless times from us but I know we all mean it from the bottom of our hearts.

Here is some pics to inspire you all. Prop 215 grow btw..


Blue Dream in the back is going crazy so she is being ignored. When I purchased all these with the exception of the XXX and Purple Urkle, the co-op rooted all of them in Grodan with the exception of the massive blue dream in the back that was rooted in the black spongy jiffy pete. That stuff made a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if you like to root with a medium like grodan than you MUST try the Jiffy Pete instead!

can you link me to the junior set up? was looking and searched but there is so many posts here its impossible to find

All they did brother was took the size that they had to grow in and reduced the post's to the size you need to fit in the space available. It will take a little math... as you have to devide and then multiply to fit your space.

Hope this helps.

Yea man, I didn't follow any schematic on exact lengths, i kinda measured what I had to work with in my closet and designed my own to fit that space.

I suggest you do the same, I went 3 plants per 4.5 foot post, I have a long veg period so I like my plants to be spaced out more.

I've only read a little over 10% of this thread, but I noticed a lot of discussion of timers. I'd like to suggest PC-based control as a solution to this problem. something like this:

Here is a great thread on automation and control which makes use of this device:

^ good info, though a usb controller and relays can be had for about 90-100$s total, someone has been using this for a hydroponic system already...

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fb-s...ed-events.html

using http://www.fusioncontrolcentre.com/F...products_id=62

and 25a relays for the system: http://www.fusioncontrolcentre.com/F...products_id=54 (can be found cheaper on google, working pic: http://www.fusioncontrolcentre.com/F...ages/relay.JPG )

theres another builder in Bulgaria with a controller, using 15amp relays, that seems to have an easier programming interface: http://www.denkovi.com/Catalog/USBRe...ription_en.htm
