Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Holly Cow!! stink you got some monsters there... Thanks for the tip about the clearex,, i didnt even think of that. Great stuff clearex is! wow,, blueberry is the shit huh..ive got my new strains going in in one week..so im hoping my dabney blueberry is as good as yours,,but i highly doubt it. Is sour diesel close to NYC diesel? ive also got some headband and green crack... i just made about 28 clones of THE BLUE,SOUR AND HEADBAND AND GC..its gonna take a run to figure out what yields what and how long...... im hoping things work out. My caregiver status allows me to grow for a number of patients, but my popularity at the clubs has gone down beacuse i dont have enough to supply them after my patients get what they need. ergo..one more system should suffice.

torrey...i think 4 600 would do great as long as you space them out enough to light the footprint. Im seriously thinking of adding 2 more inline to make up for the extra system.

Stink are you saying that beacuse you put the veg plants on the 24/7 light schedule that they grew bigger beacuse they took longer to flower improving your yield? maybe i should switch mine back to 24/7?

I have all these killer strains setting in front of me and all I smoke is Blueberry. That should tell you something.

I believe Sour Diesel is a mix between NYC Diesel and a Skunk strain. Don't be surprised if it takes a long time to root if it's anything like my NYCD.

I never thought I would say this but NYCD is almost too potent. I can drop the biggest of men with one hit.

It's hard as fuck not to smoke it. It tastes so good it's unreal. But I know as soon as I take a couple of hits I'm going to sit around and drool like an idiot!

You're saying that they will take all the bud you can grow? Geez! I sure hope we can start having dispensaries here in the NW soon.

Yep, that's what I'm saying. They grow an extra week or so in flower before they start to bud. They end up a lot taller because of it.

They also take a week longer to finish. That's one reason why I'm staying to the Indica side of the spectrum. By running Clearex for the whole flush you can cut your harvest time down so that it is same as it is now.

Just don't start your flush until a week before harvest and run 540ml of Clearex for the entire last week.

Try it and see if you agree with me. I could be wrong but I think the bud tastes just as good if not better.

I have also been running my veg formula for the first 2 weeks of flowering. I do add Sweet to the mix though. The plants look way healthier than with the bloom formula.

They stay dark green during the stretch and the growth rate is bordering on bizarre. I'll come in to my flower room in the morning and it's like WTF!

You should try it and see if I'm right or just smoked too much Blueberry

hey stink, on my last old GDP dwc bucket i have flowering before there are starting to be little spider webs on the by the buds and i can kinda see the spider mites? i kno this isnt good but i got 500 spidermite predators a week ago? wat should i do? it doesnt seem like its getting any better haha.. because i think i should take it out because my veg system is in the same room and i dont want the spiders to get to the new vegging..the GDP plant is at week 7. but i put the neem oil water formula u told me to use on the vegging once a week so they should be alright?

Dirthawker, what type of lighting are you using for veg? 4,6,or8 bulb flourescent lighting? 4foot or 2ft? Do you remember the brand? I can't decide what to go with. Thanks

Yea, you need to get that plant away from the others.

Spider mites are the worst. They are almost impossible to get rid of.

I've had mites when I use to grow with soil. The only way I was able t get rid of them was to shut down and spray everything. Then I waited three weeks and sprayed again. Then I would wipe everything down with bleach water.

Pests are the only thing that really scares me and spider mites are at the top of the list.

If you have too many mites already predator mites can't keep up with them. They will lay too many eggs to eat and overpopulate the predators.

This was the runt of the litter and I needed medicine so this was the result. She is back under 24 hours flourescent for a reveg. This was Dutch Passion Blueberry from seed in organic soil with organic nutes and is the best I have ever tasted. It was a week or so early and did not have a flush. The rest are now safe to get a two week flush and most will get a long cure. I can hardly wait to get fully converted to the SB system!

this system is fucking crazy
stink u created a revolution.....
i was at the hydro store and some young guy was buying stuff for ur system......too bad he had little money and no clue....lol
i just laughed.......i really believe starting with aero with no knowledge might not be the best idea......takes a few grows to learn the basics....but then again im still a novice

Actually its quite the contrary...with stinks system, all one needs to do is follow a simple recipe and anyone who can read a number can do it with ease.

that set up is purely inspirational. Today you have turned me onto aeroponics from blonde haired women. i will stop chasing legs and start chasing my marijuana dreams... thank you.

I found a good remody
buy a germicidal cfl lamp and put it in the room. DO NOT LOOK AT IT. its like looking at a welder Trust me I found out the hard way. had burnt eyes for 3 days. It will kill there eggs and any other pest eggs or fungi or mold. purifys the air and adds ozone. so it helps nuitralize the smell too. I just started selling them were I work. you want them on a timer so its not on all the time. they make the air smell like clorine at the pool. dont use one in too small of a room either. when your at a restarant and you see one its light blue kinda like a black light. most people think there to keep flys away but there germicidal. hope this helps at least keeping them from breeding.

also I put mine in my room and if its too close to a plant it will sunburn them . its like putting them to close to the sun. It will also help with resin production cause of the uva uvb and uvc ultraviolet rays. keep a fan on it and be carefull. they also install these in your hvac units so it purifies your air and helps with allergys. many gov buildings and schools and prisons have them to help fight TB

peace

my veg system wit 3 cfl daylight spectrum lights .. only the 8 on the right have been for 2 weeks n 2 days. and the 3 on da left are a week and 2 days.

hey saladsmokin that last coment I made was kinda directed at you and your mite problem. it was you rt. this strawberry cough from my lastyears outdoor harvest has gotten me so stoned I cant remember and my pc keeps messin up when I try to search more. im gona be lucky if this post. lol

i have read this whole thread almost twice over and the info on here is amazing. I had already bought an aero set up before finding this thread and wish i had built this one instead but oh well. i am subscribed!!! hey ANDYMAN how many watt germicidal lamp do u think a guy would need to use for a 10x10 room?

by the way STINK you are the man I cant wait for the video and the high times mag to come out. I am using your formula and after two and a half weeks of flowering my ladies are already covered with trichs. I have done hydro and soil and never seen this type of response so early.

That's great info Andy!

So are you are using them now?

What kind of light are they? I guess what I'm asking is, are they standard sizes or do you need some kind of special ballast?

Hey Stink, would 6 600w lamps be too much in a room 10x10 with 3 20 hole units? I can't decide if thats over kill or not but I wired my room with the power to handle 4 1000k lights and figure I might as well use it!

Click to expand...

You can never have too much light! Heat will be your biggest enemy running that much light.

As long as you can take care of the heat your plants will be lovin' it.

Are you going to use CO2. If you are you can run your room a lot hotter. I keep my room at about 86-88 degrees.

Think of your grow system like a car. The lights are the engine and, the nutes, water and CO2 are the fuel.

The bigger the engine, the faster the car will go, or in our case grow...

mine is a cfl type. but as I said be carfull. These are best put in the fresh air intake so you cant accidenly look at them. I have a 15w and it burned some of my leaves on my veg and clones but there fine now. I had it on with the rest of the lights 18/6. here is a pic. I think 1 would do a 10x10 room well. I had it in a 7x8 small room and it made the whole room smell like the pool. I didnt have good ventaltion either. They should not make it able for the spider mites to reproduce from what I was told. but I dont think it will kill the parents uless they come in direct contact with it. Im thinking of hanging one in my flower room inbetween isles and have a switch to turn it off when Im in the room so I dont hurt my eyes. Do you were sunglasses in your flower room?

I hope this is what caused the leaf curl and burn since It happend the same day.

Good for you! You do what you gotta do!

I remember before I moved I had to shut down for a couple of months because I was selling my house.

I had a large stash but I ran out in the middle of my first new grow. I was Jonesing for bud so I just went ahead and started clipping nugs from the lower branches.

By the time I harvested all the plants looked like big green afros but hey, you do what you gotta do, right?
