I am going to do a stinkbud system up against a undercurrent system in a month or so, if anyone is interested.
@stinkbud, thanks for going out of your way to help your fellow man with an inexpensive system, best wishes.

Hey stinkbud i was wondering if you could answer two small questions for me. I was wondering what the hole looks like connecting the two containers in your veg system. Theres a hole through the top of the res container and through the bottom of the top container to run the water from the res to the sprayers and to let the water circulate back into the res. How do the two containers seal? Or do they? How do you keep water from leaking out between the two? How big is the hole?

Also, (noob question) I plan on using a larger, somewhat modified version of your dual chamber aero veg system to veg and flower. Should I run my sprayers 24hrs during flower, or should I only run them when the light is on?

Thank you and thank you.

hey, something is giving me some trouble and i didn't want to post my question anywhere els because it has to do with this system. i see during flower stink runs some of his strains well over 2000 ppm, i just bought a bluelab combo meter and it says that it reads only up to 1990 ppm. will this meter just read up to 1990 ppm or am i missing something?

Different ppm meters use different conversion factors to calculate ppm from the EC value. EC on any meter will be the same, but some use a .5 or .7 conversion factor. To figure it out, mix a nutrient solution that will read 1 (or 1000) for EC. Then switch your meter to ppm and it will either say 500 or 700. 500 means theres a .5 conversion factor and 700 means the meter uses a .7 conversion factor. Be careful when reading any ppm value anywhere. The person listing the ppm value could be using a meter with a different conversion factor than you. I have no experience with the Bluelab meters but it sounds like it prolly uses a .5 conversion factor. I think Stinkbud is using a meter with a .7 conversion factor. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think the conversion factor must be the 'problem' with your readings.

Edit: a bit more on ppm

What's the difference? The ppm 500 scale is based on measuring the KCl or potassium chloride content of a solution and is also referred to as TDS - total dissolved solids. The ppm 700 is based on measuring the NaCl or sodium chloride content of a solution. Individual nutrient ions have different electrical effects!

2.4EC x 500 = 1200ppm (500 scale) or 1200ppm / 500 = 2.4EC

2.4EC x 700 = 1680ppm (700 scale) or 1680ppm / 700 = 2.4EC

Hi All,
Well, I've searched this thread and the rest of the site and still am confused about Hygrozyme. Is it the same as Liquid Karma? Is it OK to use with Botanicare nutes? I'm running an SB type system w/ Vanilla Kush, Blueberry, Mekong High, White Widow, Orange Bud, Skunk #11, and the Ultimate.
Thanks again,
Robert in Arizona

im running a jr and it only has a couple changes to sbs original design. have been following the ph n tds outlined. started @ 700ppm then within a week had them @1500 in veg. unbelevable growth! i have only had to lower ph 1 time in two weeks. i check on the girls every morning before leaving for work just to make sure. check ppm n ph every other day. seems to me its almost on cruise controll. i keep reading how others are having all these problems, glad im not experiencing them.
the only changes i made was using an ice chest for the res and a different way to return nutes to res in a 2in pvc flex pipe. keeps nutes cool and no light gets to nutes

Quick question If the plants stay in the cloner for 3 weeks and then in veg for 3 weeks followed by flowering for 9 weeks wont the plants in veg be ready to move to flowering before the flowering plants are ready to be harvested?

Not with three flowering stages. Or, three lights for flowering, each 3 weeks apart.

I can't seem to find where it is, but I think I read that SB runs his veg formula for a week or so after switching to 12/12, and then changes to the bloom formula ...is that right?
Thanx, Robert

No, not the same as LK, Yes you can use it with Botanicare nutes.

Over on the Stinkbuddies Forum we ( some ) are using a veg/flo formula ( SS Nute schedule ) for the first 2 weeks. It is producing outstanding results.
If you are into the SB system come join us over there.

Stink you have made it easy a caveman can do it. Thanks. I too am a medical marijuana grower..on my 1st grow...the quality has to be there since I want to help supply a collective I am a member of. I had the exact same idea but seeing it laid out in such simplicity it takes away all my doubts. Hey man I know a saint when I see one Thanks again man:clap:
