The directions make the rack about an inch higher in the back, than the front. Excess drains back to the rez.

StinkBud's drought method of harvesting bud:

1) Leave your pump off the day before harvest. After about 12 hours your plants should be wilting enough for step 2. You don't want to kill them, you just want them to use all the available water in the roots, leaves and stems.

2) Fill the res with water and 450ml of Sweet. I'm using half Berry and half Citrus Sweet. Plug the pump back in. The plant's empty cells are refilled with pure sweet water.

3) Within 24-48hrs your plants should be a light green/yellow color. Go ahead and harvest as normal.

4) Get ready to be surprised!!! Do a taste test and tell me if I'm crazy or not.

Awesome!!! I sooooo cant wait to try this, especially since i havent been able to use sweet for my whole grow op... because i ordered it over ebay since you cant buy it off the shelf where i live and we have no similar products, so this is exactly what i needed!!!

I just started another 2 plants in pots so i can take clones off them so now i will have 2 strains in my grow for my next op

EQUALS 24 hrs.

Do you run a/this hydro system? because saying you dont water at night doesnt sound right.

Stinkbuds water 24/7... 1 minute on - 5 minutes off. In some cases peeps using the CAP timer with no manual settings - 1 minute on- 4 minutes off...

I have two questions...

1.) What do you guys do about smell (odor), how do you mask or remove it so that you can remain stealth.

2.) A - Would it work if instead of building the Areo/NFT system, I can just use a Rubbermaid similar to the veg system and grow one BIG ASS PLANT (similar to a Christmas tree ).
2.) B - How big would the tree be in order to harvest a pound? How long will I have to veg the tree?

I am also looking at an alternative to CO2, this system looks like it will be expensive (the lights alone could run you half a grand) I wanted to know if there was an alternative to a CO2 tank?
I appreciate the responses but nobody really answered my question about plant height and yield. Also the CO2 question.

From my understanding plant height in this type of set up wont really change the yeild too much, as with any indoor situation... the best way is to have many small plants to creat a sea of green canopy effect with multiple colas rather than one large plant with one large cola. This is how i have always been taught in any aspect because you can in turn have your turn around alot quicker becuase you clearly dont have to veg for as long... Hope this helps bro.

The two big plants were about 10 inches tall when I put them into flower two weeks ago. They are 34" now! I am using a 31 gallon for the root chamber ang a 14 gallon res. I did it this way because I am going to be moving in a couple of months and this will be easier to move than the fenceposts. When I get settled, I will build the real stink flower system.
