Stinkbud's party

[StinkBud]

Hey everyone!
I thought you might be bored so load a bong hit, sit back and be bored some more...

The story starts with a potential cutting. I select a lower branch from one of my veg plants. It's way better to use a stem from the lower branches than from the top. The lower branches contain more of the hormones that it takes to start roots.

I use a razor blade to take the cutting. No special treatment here.

Moving on...

 

[StinkBud]

I take the 2-4" cuttings and place them in the Neoprene sleeves and into the 2" netpots. No spraying, dipping or anything! Just stick them in the cloner and your done.

My cloner is homemade. I have a 100% success rate with this system. I use tap water with 250ML of Liquid Karma. No rooting hormone is needed.

The cloner is running on the same timer I use for all of my Aero setups. 1 min on and 5 mins off.

Within a few days the roots start to pop. AK47 pops in 6 days, Tutti Fruitti pops in just 4 days. Blueberry and Snowbud take 7-10 days to pop roots.

 

[StinkBud]

After a few weeks the plants start to develop a nice root system. I don't feed them any nutrients yet.

Damn SB nice lil setup u got goin there...i haven't journied out the world of hydro yet but maybe someday when i get my feet wet with this whole idea...scribed +++rep looks like u know what your doing..check out my first bagseed grow lemme know what you think...peacez

 

[focus.on.the.grow]

Well you can't argue with results like that! Great post man! +rep

 

[StinkBud]

After 3 weeks the best 14 plants move to the veg system.

I use a dual container aeroponic system. The roots grow straight down which makes the plants easy to transfer to the flower room when the time comes.

The plants are under a 250W MH light set to 18/6.

I run the same nutrient formula for everything. I start at 1500 PPM and bring it up to 2900 PPM by the second week of veg. I change the nutrients every 3 weeks with each new crop.
Botanicare Nutrients:
126ML Cal-Mag Plus
180ML Liquid Karma
540ML Pure Bend Pro Bloom

Liquid Karma makes everything turn brown but it's some amazing stuff.

The roots get long!

After 3 weeks the plants are 12"-18" tall. I just pull them up out of the containers and move them into the flower room.

I have 1000W Mh and a 1000W HPS for a total output of 255,000 lumens.

I'm running 3 separate Aero/NFT systems so I can have 9 weeks flower time and a 3 week perpetual harvest cycle.

I run 2900 PPM all the way until the flush cycle.

During the first three weeks of flowering the plants shoot up like crazy! They stay light green and grow a couple of inches a day.

After 3 weeks you can see the baby buds starting to form.

 

[StinkBud]

The buds really fatten up within 6 weeks. They have stopped shooting up and won't get any taller at this time.

The plants turn dark green and start going through different stages of producing hairs. It's like they produce a bunch of hairs and then wait around for some pollen. When no pollen shows up they freak out and start producing more pistils. Like that's going to help my poor little virgins. Little do they know that they will never have their cherry popped!

The crystals are starting to show up big time!

 

[StinkBud]

After about 8 weeks I start thinking about flushing my plants.

I use Clearex for a few days and then just straight water.

These nugs are getting close. I'll start watching the trichromes closely now. When they start to turn amber I know it's time to start the flush.

These buds have around another week or so to ripin up.

I'll add more updates and photos as these buds finish up.

 

[StinkBud]

Though I'd post a couple more photos of the girls.

I started flushing the Medusa (two rows in the middle) so hopefully they will start to yellow soon.

 

[StinkBud]

Pulled the Medusa's. They are drying now.

I made bubble out of the fresh trim for the first time. I'll only use fresh from now on! The hash tasted like old school finger hash. The purest I've ever smoked. It was too strong!

 

[StinkBud]

The new girls where brought in to the flower room and in to system #2. Looking forward to this batch!

The AK47 in system #3 are looking sweet! The buds are hard as rocks and the size of baseballs. It's amazing how hard the buds get when you flood them with 2000 watts of light.

The Plants in system #1 (left) are at about 4 weeks into flowering and are filling in strong.

You have a big set up. What security processions do you take? Are you worried about drawing too much power?

Also, How do you combat mold?

 

[JumboBud]

I am thinking about doing a 4 week or 3 week cycle to. I am doing it in 2 cabinets put together. So like 78"x72"x24d". And if 4 week puting a aero or DWC on each side for SOG or SCOG. How many plants do you think I could put on each side of the cabinet? A space of 6'x3'x24" Also maybe using 2 600w lights 1 per side so I can lower as needed per DWC. You hydro system how many plants per are you using?

Do you have the plans for the aero DWC set up? not the aero in a line..

 

[MatsuMist]

Awesome set up, you have this down to a science.

I'm a legal patient/provider so I don't have too much to worry about security wise. Even if the police were tipped off they would just look at the computer and say" Yep, he's a legal grower alright" and that's the end of it.

I NEVER sell weed! I only help patients truly in need.

In Oregon we can have 6 mature plant and 18 plants under 12" tall/wide (per person).
1.5 lbs. per person of dried material.

I wish I could take on some more patients but I'm maxed out with space right now. I like helping people that are too sick to help themselves.

I've never had a problem with mold. I have a 200 cfm fan venting through my lights to draw moist air out of the room. The air (smell) is vented into the attic. I need a bigger fan though. I'm going to get a 6" 400 cfm fan when I get my new 6" reflector for my MH.

I always have a fan blowing fresh air into the room and I have 3 fans in the room.

You've got a serious forest going on over there

Looks very nice!

 

[StinkBud]

The girls are doing great! The Blueberry is starting to smell like the finest candy you could ever imagine!

The AK47 has a sort of cherry smell and taste.

Take a little AK, Blueberry and Tutti Fruiti and put them on one bong hit. Fill the bong with crushed ice and use a heat gun to vaporize the bud. The taste is beyond description so I won't even try...

 

[StinkBud]

7 weeks into flower and the blueberry is finishing up nicely!
