Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

lol...Not yet... MY EYES HURT!!!! Thanks Muchogood!!! I didn't even know about the stinkBuddies.com site. I'm headed to the site right now.

This is my first post on this site but I am doing something very similar to what you are. I also have 100 % success on my clones. built custom Aero boxes(that dont leak), except i harvest 2lbs every month, and have 3 flower rooms with 40 plants in each and also a mother and clone room. I say two pounds conservatively as that is what I will be harvesting next week but have had many problems on this crop including switching to supernatural B-1 , and using a 2 year old HPS bulb wasnt helping but will still manage 2 lbs for my 1-!000w HPS. only half my tent is impressive, so I should be able to pull maybe 3-4 lbs per light. my Goal is 4 lbs/ per light, maybe far fetched but maybe not. This will be the first time Ive had all 3 tents full and pulling every month. I have about 30k$ sank into this setup and its still not perfect. My budds I grow are insanely potent and blow away anything Ive had at the dispensories. Liquid cooled lights on light mover tracks makes 4lbs per light a very realistic goal. right now I have white queen that I imported from amsterdam and have many more strains like UK cheese, NYC sour diesel, Bubba Kush, Black Widow, Critical Mass and Devil. Cant wait to see what the cheese does in my system, its supposed to be an extremely high yielder.

Surely you must have some pics to back that up.

All I can say is your numbers are not adding up. Some of the best I have seen only average 3 to 4 ounces a plant. So eithere you can't add or this is all BS on your part.

Sounds like quite a grow. I can see 3 flower rooms with 40 lollipoped @ 2lbs. a month under a light mover ( 1 room 3 months, I've been there with veg ready clones). I just cant understand with 30 Thousand Dollars into a setup, why you wouldn't throw in a new bulb every 4000 hours or so. Let us know how the Sour Diesel does inside. Maybe you can start a grow journal for us StinkBuddies.

Hi everyone, I am setting up Stink's cloner, a smaller version of his vegger, and 3 four-station flowering units. My limitation is height. I have only 50 inches floor to ceiling. I am planning to use the rail setup from his flowering unit and I will put them on my floor, pitching each one down to a 1" high drain pan. I will use an inline pump with a float switch to pump the water back up into my res which will be located about 5 feet away. I could use some advice on the best way to flower in this limited height. Pruning? LST? just tie the plant over to control the height?

read the first 115 pages and had to skip to the end to ask stink what is the exact kind of climate controller he uses, and roughly what is a good price on one. thanks

G'day all, just a quick note about my aerocloner...

Here is some pics in succession...





Now, even though Stink Bud said this would be water tight (IT IS!!!!) but I am running a 100watt propagation flouro in my lil cloner tent and it wasn't getting dark enough where the stems were, to get decent roots growing...



So I had to completely cover it in Aluminium Duct tape... Which by the way is the best tape on the market... Its reflective and it will stick to anything....Brilliant stuff..





I am using Clonex Solution, not to be confused with Clonex Gel, that wont work... I have 30 litres of water in the aerocloner and its doing its thing...

Will post pics of the roots when they grow some...lol...

Hello everyone-I just wanted to tell everyone that I found A nice C02 Setup that is very simple and I hooked it up in under 10 minutes.

I bought the new HydroGen SenseAir® CO2 Monitor. It's an all in one unit that has digital LED's that show the concentration of the C02 as it rises in the room. It's piggybacked to the C02 Generator that turns off at 1500 ppm. It cost only $290.00 from plantlightinghydroponics.com

Then I bought the CAP GEN-1eLP liquid propane, 4-burner Electronic Ignition CO2 generator. It cost $299.00. I didn't go with the HydroGen water cooled C02 generator because of the need to hook up to the water supply (too much hassle).

Plantlightinghydroponics.com was the cheapest on all this equipment. All the other hydro stores came up a hundred dollars or more on this equipment.

Really looking forward to seeing the stinkbud system with the added boost of C02. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the system and I'm recommending it on ease of hook-up, hopefully I'll get good longevity on this set up.

The first pic which is higher resolution(but still came out shitty with the HPS on) the football sized nugs is Mr nice guy's G13X skunk, flower room was only half full and yielded 2lbs 5 oz. The second pic was taken recently of White Queen(AMSeedbank), is almost a full tent with 36 out of 40 plants and should yield decent(2 1/2 lbs- 3 lbs), We had issues with this crop as we got a bad batch of nutrients from the hydro store. Also this crop was grown with a HPS bulb that was over 18 months old and probably equal output of a brand new 600W HPS. Easily could see my next grow be even more considering I have a super high yielding Cheese up on deck in about 3 weeks. So how does the math not add up???? people grow 2+lbs per light out of a trash can in some dirt. All my grows are under one 1000W HPS bulb in a liquid lumens liquid cooled fixture. I will take a picture of the harvest in the next few days wet and dry if you want. I havent been able to start a journal yet so I dont have many pics up.
P.S I dont have a 360degree camera so you are seeing only one portion of the tent, there is 36 plants in there all lollipopped and supercropped. tent is 10'L X 5'W X 8'H. I have 3 flower rooms and another for veg and all the mothers I have. hense 3-4lbs per light. harvest every month I run 9-10 week flowering schedules as I like to pull at very last minute and flush a lot.

Put your hand on it, those don't look like footballs. I grew some footballs outside last year.




Football sized buds

Wow northern they are beasts, you should be VERY proud...

I agree!
I can't wait to see those footballs harvested!
Nice Job Man!

Here is the G13(yes, there is one giant tree there) in early september, I just threw in my backyard and let it go wild, probably would be 12 ft high if I didnt start cropping it, here its about 10 ft. I had to start pulling down branches since you could start to see it from a block away. This particular plant ended up getting too heavy and splitting down the middle after some wind gust, so I harvested early and still got 2 lbs off the one plant without even caring for it like i care for my indoors. The smaller budd in my hand is a plant I grew to only 18 inches high, under a 600w HPS, my mini plant experiment was almost football sized. easy to get fooballs outdoor, indoors is a little different when you have a 8ft ceiling. Ill post my latest harvest in a couple days. I consider all the money I spent failing and changing designs when I say I have 30$k invested. I have bought at least 40 pumps in the last 4 years. at 40 bucks each its easy to see how I have that much invested. I try to think of how much money I save by growing my own though. 1/8th oz a day @50$(from the dispensory)=$18,250 dollars a year for my medication.

Nice buds but footballs are not so easily achieved. I always have spliting problems with the weight I grow. Look at this bad larry. After spliting several times it even busted the heavy duty zip ties I used to piece it back together with. There was just one left and it just grew over it.

Have you tried to tieing the branches to tall stakes?

Thanks but I got it under control. I use bamboo for support but when it rains they get heavy, something is bound to give.

Can anyone give me a link where the updated pdf. of all the information covered in this thread is please?

Just read the first 5 pages, that's all you need to know... The first tiny little leaves are the first node...That's straight from Uncle Ben...

I can just imagine what some of those monsters weigh after a rain. I love bamboo. It it so versatile. I am going to plant some on my land.
