Wow stink its kinda looks like a jungle in there they all look really happy too!
And let's not forget it's a million times easier to get propane than CO2.The small co2 gens really dont put out that much heat, especially if your room is sealed well. And much less costly to run.
Actually it would work will with a little 400W light. You could keep the light really close if it was air cooled and that would help.Hey stink would your stinkbud single ver 1.1 be a good candidate for a scrog using a 400 watter? Also does the pump stay on 24/7 or 1 minute on 5 minutes off? Also is there a need to have a extra pump with a air stone?
Rope calk. It comes in a bag and looks like strings of clay.Hey what do ya'll use to seal your veg and clone unit from any drips/leaks from the sides?
Once you understand the concepts you can modify it to fit any space. I've personally created a small 6 hole unit from left over fence posts.I'm not even sure if I'm asking this question in the right place, but here it goes. StinkBud (or anyone, for that matter), I am brand new to this growing scene and I've been reading a ton of information on your system and my primary concern is space. Your system seems like it is designed for people with space. I'm building a LED grow locker (15 X 15 X 72) and I was curious to know if your system can be adapted to work in such a small space. I just purchased your ebook by the way.
This is an 8 plant system using 4 rails, 2 feet long, total width less than 36" and about 20" deep. Using a 20 gallon Brute and changing nutes every 2 weeks. Had to make a couple minor adjustments, but it is working fine. You can also adapt this system to spray a couple netpots in a single tub, like this one made from a 20 gallon tote and using clay pellets to fill the pots and a couple airstones with an air pump.Start building one and grow something in it is the best advice you can get. You will discover the details after building something. Be sure to prepare for leaks. You will fix the leaks, but need to make sure the $10,000 persian rug doesn't get damaged.I'm not even sure if I'm asking this question in the right place, but here it goes.

Actually I do have some Botanicare nutes but I rarely have to use them. When I do grow hydro I use West Coast Horticulture's 2-part formula. Don't get to hung up on the nutrients though. You can get almost anything to work in my system if you dial it in.Hey stinkbud i bought your book & saw you don't use the botanicare pure blend veg & bloom anymore how come?
Intresting theory with batman & robin. Very plausible. LolActually I do have some Botanicare nutes but I rarely have to use them. When I do grow hydro I use West Coast Horticulture's 2-part formula. Don't get to hung up on the nutrients though. You can get almost anything to work in my system if you dial it in.
Right now I'm growing in soil with all the organic compounds added to the soil when I mix it. The plants run out of nutes about a week before harvest. Perfect for a clean flush. Maintenance consists of watering the plants every 5-7 days. Of course I have to bend and train the plants but that only takes a few minutes.
Organic based nutrients like Botanicare are great but nothing compares to the taste of old-school 100% organically grown bud. Why does soil grown bud taste so good? I don't know but I imagine there is something in the soil transferring to the plant and we end up tasting it. Think about it for a second. Bats down in South America eat a bunch of bugs or fruit or McDonalds or some other shit, I really don't know. It's not like I got a fuckin' pet bat or something! But I regress...
Then they shit all night (actually day) hanging upside down. By the way, if you're hanging upside down, how the fuck do you keep from shitting down your back and have it drip off the top of your head? I regress again...
Then some poor guy has to go into the caves and shovel the bat shit all day. We take the shit and put it in our soil. Then all the flavors from the bugs, fruit and McDonalds mix together and transfer to the plant, giving us the best tasting pot on Earth. Makes perfect sense to me!
Ok, here's the question of the day...
Batman and Robin were obviously growing some killer buds in the bat cave (duh). Was the weed so good because Batman took a bat shit on his plants or did he have some other unknown bat secret?
Robin: "Holy StinkBud Batman, this Batkush is kicking my raw buns!"
Batman: "That's right RawBuns, Batman grows the sickest batweed in Gotham City, now grab yer ankles!"
Hmmmmm.... Maybe I should change mine! Hehehe Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!I changed my pump timer to 80 seconds on - 8 minutes off. Lights are 12/12 in flower, 20/4 in veg and clone. Good results with this. View attachment 2723563
I should give credit here, superstoner1 is who I got the timer settings from. I would love to see drawings, maybe a set of pdf files, that show SS's modified design for this system. The details in the first few pages of this thread made it possible for me to build a system and if I understood the finer points of the improved system, would be able to make improvements. SS, have you thought about taking Stink's idea and putting together a book? There is always room for another book about growing cannabis.Yeah, 80 sec on 8 min off is perfect. I have run it for a couple of years after trying different settings.
Thanks for the response. My idea was to not run a perpetual harvest and just run everything on the same time frame and harvest once. I was thinking about running 12 stations at the same time with only one strain and was wondering if anyone has built a a system with a large Rez to supply 3-6 stations.ck867 - There are 3 flower stations in this design because it gets you a harvest every 3 weeks. You can always add another station to give you a harvest every 2 weeks. Run one system or run twelve, its upto you.
Running a larger res for multiple systems will either stop you from being able to flush or change nutrient dosages depending on week the plant is in flower.
