Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Hello everyone. I have been lurking, reading and gathering supplies for almost three weeks now. I have cuttings in the cloner and almost everything I need to take them to harvest. I say almost, because every time I have said I am ready, I found more shit I need. I have been doing a half assed grow in soil and had just started 10 different strains of feminized beans when I found this thread. This system will be great to test them all and pick the best to keep growing. I have never had any luck at cloning so I should save a shitload of bucks on seeds now. Thanks to Stinky, Dirt and all the other posters for all the info that has gotten me started on this project. I will post more as things progress.

did you try page 75 on this thread, all the info you need to get started is on that page, you can try searching the forum if you have questions and if you dont find them that way well all help you the best we can.

Thanks for the reply. I was just getting ready to lower the light. I've been a little aggressive with my lights this first time and have burnt about half the leaves on the 3 smaller plants (not pictured). So, I was letting them get a little used to it. I'll drop 'em in the AM. They've only been under that MH for 8 days.

Thanks again.

If it is a portable unit it will suck out the CO2. Window units are OK.

thanks stink thanks
i knew when i bought it nobody local has one like i want
im going to buy one online and take the other back to lowes
nothing ever goes right for me the STORY of my life
life is stiill good though i live in the USA thank god

I know we have all been learning as we go as a class. I stumbled across this when making the Stinkbud system. I have seen a few people ask how to attach the the units to the pump other then just sliding the PVC pipe into the top of the pump. If you get a 1/2" Adapter fitting ( first picture ) It will screw right in to the top of the pump. This is great just for those of us who have knocked the unit from the pump. ( second pic showing it screwed into the pump). It works on all three systems I want to say that you remove 1/2" from the PVC to the pump. I will get the measurements as soon as my lights come back on.

I can't thank StinkBud enough Thanks Again

I might have to try this.

are you sure you ant from the south because all your morals & values are the same as mine
i was tought to respect elders and say yes mam & yes sir & to help others in need

We all know that its kindof a guessing game when running new strains together to find the finish line and nutes etc,,

I am on 7 weeks with all my new clones. The green crack and og kush look done now. The 2 sourD in the back will have to make a move but probably wont even finish at 9.

the headband and bluberry are gonna need the full 9 weeks.

my question: I dont wanna start a flush for the 1 greencrack and 2 ogkush... so i was thinking of just harvesting the tops of those 3, and let the rest go as usual.

im thinking that in this system even without a flush they will still be tasty?

first pic is green crack,2nd is ogkush, 3rd is blueberry.

Damn Rep, your pics look like you are growing in a disco or something. I can almost feel the bass.

Good luck with the LED's!

I always wondered if you could cut off some tops an put them in water like you would a bouquet of flowers.

You could even add Sweet. It works for flowers and buds are flowers, so why not?

What if you made a flusher. Take a spare cloner and put the cut tops into a collar and netpot. Run water with Some Sweet for a week and pull the tops out. They should be nicely flushed.

Another option is to let your PPM drop to 1000-1200 for 3-4 days before harvest. That way you won't have much nutrient buildup and the other plants will still do fine.

Your timing sounds right on spec for the different strains. I'm curious as to how you like the OG. I heard it's the bomb!

I missed a clone of the OG Kush (SFV cutting) by one day! The good news is I know it's around and it's just a matter of time before I get a cutting.

Yeah Dirt! You rock - like Stink said - you actually got me to Stink it up more than Stink himself (no offense Stink!). It was obvious that Stink was an expert grower and could grow the dank any number of ways. But to see a "regular guy" like Dirt (no offense Dirt!) do it, I really felt I, another "regular guy", could do it too!

Thanks!

Cheers to that mate! yea.. believe me if i could do this, anyone can.

It was one sentence that stink said at the very beggining of the thread...

and i quote "If you can read a number then you can do this"

I was very intimidated at all the hydro threads, they seemed so complicated. I even asked a couple newb questions and got scolded! Then i found STINK!

Stink has been the absolute best mentor a regular guy could ask for. He answers all questions, stupid or otherwise in a way that makes sense..

cheers to all the stinkbuddies who are fortunate to have found this MAN!

SPREAD THE LOVE.

That's awesome bro! Perfect fit. I even have some of those 1/2" fittings hanging around. Good work and thanks for posting!

A quick question about trimming leaves. The large fan leaves are starting to move into other plants should I trim those to help with the crowding to allow the lower branches to get more light? This would be on the flower unit. Thanks in advanced

Click to expand...

I only trim leaves that are yellowing or have dead spots on them.

It is a good idea to pull all the very bottom leaves right next to the net pot though. Those leaves never get enough light and suck more energy than they produce.

I'll usually take the bottom 2-3 stems off too. I'll ether make clones out of them or chuck them in the trash. I do this as I'm taking the plants into the flower room.

Yea Stink im very excited about what ive heard about the SFV kush, It is growing just like what ive heard,, its not a big yielder but the buds are really dense and covered in crystals. I have 20 cuttings of them in a cloner now so after a few more runs im gonna be doing a whole flower system with all the sfv...

I havent sampled yet but will let ya know how it is.
Suprisigly this green crack is looking stellar!

im gonna ax all my sourD ,, headband isnt very impressive either...

i think ultimately my lineup is gonna be;

cheese
redgrape
SFV
greencrack
and blueberry.

Interesting about flushing ,, maybe i will try that,, or maybe i will just put the tops into one of my cloners with the clones....thats neat.

Thanks for the response Stink

Do med patients need to worry??? I think Cali has us approved for 6 mature plants per... Then X# for immature. Just curious.


I decided I needed a dehumidifier when I walked into my room and it felt like Costa Rica. I have central air and it wasn't drying out the room. There's only a cloner and a veg'r running right now, humidity is about 65% according to the de-humidifer.

I'll pull out a RH meter and see what it says.

My A/C water drains onto my septic tank, so no worries there. I'll try turning down the temperature see if that helps.

The joy of being a licensed medical marijuana grower. No need to worry about things like water run-off.

Also I should have said that the people were busted by drug dogs. They were suspected of growing so the cops brought out the dogs. The rest is history. It's happened more than once.

It's standard operating procedure for police, just like checking your trash. Never put any incriminating evidence in your trash (if you don't have an MMC).

I used to sweat everything. Old soil used to be a pain in the ass. After a few years all my plant beds where filled to the rim with left over soil! Eventually I ran out of new places to put the used soil...

That's funny! No unfortunately I'm a Yankee. Or what do you call a West Coast Yankee. How about I'm a Wankee!

I have spent quite a few years in the South though. I was stationed in Orlando and Pensacola for a few years. I also spent some time in Biloxi and Houston.

Weird thing is, the more time I spent in the South the more I wanted to date my cousin... I always thought it was genetics but it must be something in the air.

Hey man, thanks for the input. I forgot to write in my journal that i flushed my plants. Im pretty busy these days. Im going through your journal and you have a lot of info here. Take care.

I'm from England now living in the states. Stink, don't call yourself a wankee, your a good bloke.

We used the term wankee to imply a negative stereotype of an American. Mixing our Wanker term with yankee )

i spent some time stationed in pensacola too stink, i was an avation electrician on black hawks or as we called them h-60's. from there i went to jacksonville. i was in the navy from 01 to 03, i might have missed you by a few years. what was your rate/rank if you dont mind me asking and filling up your thread with more way off topic questions.

Hey Stink, I read in an earlier post that you were considering running co2 through the pvc, did you try it or have any success with that?
