Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Has anyone tried using Jack's to feed plants in a Stink Bud system? They make a hydro specific mixture and the cost is far below everything at the grow shops. There are a quite a few positive comments about Jack's on RIU, almost all relating to soil grows, just checking to see if anyone with this style system has run this particular nutrient system. I am planning to give it a shot and ordered 54 pounds of the stuff, planning to use it for the yard as well, but if this works out the amount will last years and save $hundreds$. If anyone can shed light on mixing/PPM and experiences it would be appreciated.

I plan to journal my experience with this stuff, will be using a duplicate set of plants, straight from the cloner and soon to start veg, under the same lights and be able to compare results with Botanicare system grow that is in progress now. Seems that 2 week intervals for res changes are working fine, will continue adding a little Pondzyme except for the last few weeks and a splash of Aquashield. Not sure about adding Sweet, maybe just a splash to make me feel like I know what I'm doing.

THANKS FOR READING AND WELCOME TO VIETNAM !

I'm honored to have you my friend. It makes me happy to know that my love spans the entire globe. I especially welcome the people of Vietnam and hope your country and ours can put aside the past and think of our new great friendship. I don't want the same world my father lived in. Our generation is finally coming into power and it's time to stop the wars. How? Through love...

So glad you gave up meth, that shit is poison! You should think about growing outdoors bro. Start you plants inside on 20-24 hours of light then just take them outdoors to bud. Correct me if I'm wrong but you guys always have 12hr days and nights. I was stationed in Guam for a couple of years and most of the growers there grew from Thai stick seeds.

Right now my favorite plant is the Tahoe OG. Out of all the killer strains I have going right now it's the biggest and best. The buds are white/silver because there are so many crystals.

Thanks for your reply,we are all human being and we were in the wars just because of the benefits from the sides(i don't mean the people,i meant the gorverments) and the all things finished already.Lookin for a life of love,maybe you can't see what I saw on the victims of war.So terrible and "damn terrible" moments through pictures and places if you get a chance to by there.Mother cried for her kids,people cried because of blood and shooting sounds everywhere..all through pictures...I DON'T MENTION or JUDGING THE US-VN WAR,GET HIGH AND BE PEACE TILL FINISHED NORMALLY WORDS.I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT WE SHOULD KEEP THE WORLD WITHOUT WARS N VIOLENT.

So,I will let yu know about my ability.I've been reading many threads,topics.Then I catched up ur thread,I have to undrstand that "perpetual grow"(known strains for exactly finished time,I have 2 bbww and one super cheese) is grow a seed to take the clones then making a "growing clones to take clones for harvesting by weeks" routine (Im just showed what I got,so srry if it was wrong).

I was thinking about growin outdoor to get seeds and see how big it will gonna be,my balcony is a good container for trees and high plants(4 2.5meters plants in height) too .Just being so nervous and so confused of 2 things and one is fixed yet.The first problem is the birds always break the plants down(I bought some net to make covering the balcony area for growing,they can't get in anymore) and the second is my strain(wwbb) is a photoperiod(many sites showed that) but I also think about my father knowledges that natural controls things,so let them in balcony ? Or growin in a homemade depron foam grow room(easily heat issues control) ? (I could do it likes a pro grow room for funtions that growng needs,ventilation for air,CO2 for plants,light for buds...etc.)

I searched many of many and many info-s of how to grow indoor,how to set up a grow room or anything just related to.Maybe I was a fool chick to go around and read the things have known before.But everytime I do that,i got smt new and not a little bit of reading time too,watever,lol.Most of people said that should not bring a photeriod to soil outside and the others still believing sunshine of balcony still do the shit...! I need the advices from guys,I also try to understand how NFT works too.So glad to see the rep from you guys and "big bro" stinkbud,peace-smoke and be nice !

Hey there Stink,

Bought your book, still a little unsure how many plants and how big to grow them if I've got a 1000 watt hps for flower and 4'x5' (up to 5'x'5) to flower in. What do you suggest and how do I calculate how much and when I should yield?

Thanks!

In your case I would just run one StinkBud Jr. II or 1 - StinkBud Single. In fact you could actually run two plants theStinkBud Aero/DWC and have a little more taste selection. Maybe one fruity plant and one Kush strain.

The StinkBud Aero/NFT system would be perfect though. You could run between 6-10 plants depending on how long you wanted to veg them. You could start from seeds in rapid rooter type plugs and then go directly into the rail system. Let it veg for 3-4 weeks and BAM you're a fucking weed baron bitch! Good luck bro!!

You Buddies! Can you believe it's May already! That means good times ahead.

Things are going great in the green room. We are gearing up for the second batch right now. But first I thought I'd show you what I think is going to be one of my new favorites. It's called Buddha Tahoe OG from Cali Connection Seeds. Check out the photo. The nugs are huge and the smell unreal! I tried a small sample and all I can say "Fucking A bro!" It has a sort of mango flavor instead of the usual Kush diesel, fuel taste. All the leaves are becoming covered in crystals! You know what... I'm gonna just shut the fuck up and tell you to go buy some seeds right the fuck now...

I'd also thought I'd introduce you to the next set of girls. These all came from cuttings using my cloner. I wish I would have taken 10 more of the Tahoe OG! Oh well, next time. I do have a lot of good stuff though. No Stinky Pinky strains in this batch, just clones from the good shit.

Speaking of the Stinky Pinky... I was having problems with this one SP plant. It was turning yellow so the first thing I thought is it needed more Nitrogen. So I tried adding more nutes and the problem just got worse. I thought maybe I'm over watering so double checked the plant and let it completely dry out, still no change. At that point I started thinking PH issues from salt buildup and went for the full flush. I put it in the sink and let the water run over it for 20 minutes. Withing 2 days the plant started coming back. At 4 days it almost looked normal.

You know it's weird how one out of twenty plants just want to destroy themselves. They just can't be happy like the rest of the plants. They got to have the special treatment, little bitches... Oh, well, I get the last laugh!

Man Stink every time I see your girls they look amazing! That Budda Tahoe OG sounds fantastic, a few months ago I got like a half 1/8th of "Tahoe OG" and I don't know if it really was tahoe, but it sure was good!

Whats up Stink Bud?... & Stink Buddies?

I must say I have been going through this thread for weeks now, all 1k+ pages, and I am thoroughly impressed.

After reading all the information not only on RIU, but all across the net...

I've decided to become a Stink Bud (as of today)....

So here are my plans...

I currently grow completely organic, and I have limited space so I will be implementing a micro version of the Stink Bud system. I haven't decided exactly on all the details but I am going to make each fence post (including support) completely independent and moveable because I would like to have an independent flush system so I can rotate each post perpetually.

Now I grow in tents and I will be using a 4x4x6.5ft grow tent (as I said I have limited space) under a 600 HPS. For veg, I will be using a 250 MH for now, but eventually I will be using CFLs....

Two Questions....

How much space is recommended between each net pot on the fence post?

Has anyone tried to implement some sort of drain to their Stink Bud system? I was think about putting in a 2 inch drain at the end of each post and use some 2 inch PVC to connect to the top of the res rather than have the running water at end.

You really want at least a square foot between plants. I came up with the gutter drain a couple years ago and refined it in my new systems using 1-1/2" pvc. Works great, no leaks.

I'm building a system now with 1" ebb & flow drains at the end of the rails.

Ok so a square foot is ideal... I get that... Im thining about making my rails (fence posts) 42inchs long, Im sure I will need the space a the top of the res so I figured 5 - 6 pots per rail...

Thanks for the input and if you dont mind posting some pics of that drain system.

Sounds nice... I'd like to see some pics if you don't mind.

You can check my thread for pics. My 3 stages of flower.

Hey guys, hope everyone is fine. Got a question, I'm on week 7 of flowering, when should I start flush?

mine is only half built at the moment, but there is a video i posted called 39 peppers in the thread SS posted above that I got the idea from.

So far nobody seems to have any experience with the Jack's products in a rail system. Today I tried converting a rack that is in its last week or so (week 10 just started today) to Jack's and will see if it kills them or actually works. I added 3 TBSP of Blossom Booster to the 18 gal res, mostly filled with water and added 2 TSP of Cal Nit, some Sweet and Hydroplex and a trace of pH Down to 5.8. Hoping to learn something in about a week. If this stuff works it will reduce the cost of nutes by about 90%.

I switched to Jack Hydro Pro and CalcNit about 3 years ago. I use it in all my Soilless (Coco, Turface, Perlite) and Hydro Systems (Aero, DWC, Top Feed) with AWESOME results!

I bought 25 lbs of each, gave away almost half, and still have over a Years worth left! All for under $100! WooHoo!

I mix 1 Tablespoons of Jacks Hydro Pro and CalcNit per five (5) Gallons of Tap Water which brings me to aprox 1100 ppm (0.7 Conv to EC) and 5.9 ph, I call this Full Strength in Veg through Flower.

In 12/12 I reduce the CalcNit to 1/2 dose and add 1/2 dose of Bloom Boosters from day One (1). Many run the same mix from begining to end with GREAT results Too.

Knowing that this Combo has ALL the Macro and Micro nutes, ANY Deficiencies are Usually caused by improper ph. If you Balance ph and ppm within Range, your Plants will finish in PERFECT Health.

Good Luck! Peace

Thanks for the feedback Med! Are you replacing half of the Hydro Pro with Bloom Boost or simply adding to it?

I'll document a grow with Jack's in my aero/hydro rack and post it up if it works as well for me, maybe help some folks save money on their growing. Are you adding any Sweet during bloom or flushing before harvest?

I Believe the Micros are in the Jacks Hydro Pro, so I use the 1 Tablespoon per EVERY 5 gallons. Combined with 1 Tablespoon CalcNit in Veg, also combined with only 1/2 Tablespoon Calcnit + 1/2 dose Bloom Booster from day 1 of 12/12. I use Carbs (sweet, mollases) occasionaly, depending on the System, and Flora Kleen the last 4 to 7 days before Harvest. I Believe a Good Flushing agent is BEST with Jacks Nutes because My plants stay Beautifully Green till Harvest.

Jack's Hydro Pro + CalcNit is by far the BEST Nutes I have used. They are SOoo COMPLETE with everything you Need, any Deficiencies that show up are ph related.

I run a Modified Lucas Add-Back program. I also run small res's, so Every night or 2, I add H2O and/or Full Strength Nutes to get the Res back to Full Strength (1100ish ppm and ph 5.9ish). Doing it this way, I have QUIT doing Res Changes! My Systems are ADD ONLY!

But I do take apart and scrub down Everything each run.

I have converted several Members of another site to Jacks, and it works just as Well for them as it does Me, so You will be GOLDEN! You might as Well start Journaling it now, Cause....

IT WILL ROCK!

Good Luck! Peace

The Jacks stuff sounds interesting to run. I left the botanicare stuff behind a long time ago as it was just a lot of money for nothing. I have been using Dyna-Bloom as my one stop complete fertilizer the last few years and its been great. I recently went to Aqua Flakes by House and Garden but once again it seemed to be a lot of money for nothing extra. I will get some of the Jacks stuff and give that a run next.

How can you complain about nute cost when botanicare cost me less than $1.20 per dried ounce of bud?
