Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

I hope it never ever ends...I'm putting together the STINK SYSTEM....cloner vegger and flower power...I have two pumps http://www.hardwareandtools.com/Master-Plumber-1-10-Hp-Therm-Utility-Pump-540072-by-Pentair-Water-u540072.html and then this pondmaster magnetic drive Model 3 - 350 gph maximum flow with a 10.5' shut-off!
Is this what I need Stinky? Closest gro shop is over 200 miles...where is the cheapest online delivery for neoprene collars ,net baskets...sprayer misters,timer, etc....I need a one stop stinky express...all the mixtures ...ph meter ,cal mag +
EVERYTHING other then the pvc ,totes, and pumps( I hope they are thge right pumps)

I've used BGhydro.com and discount hydroponics. Also the best place I've seen for lights and such is plantlightinghydropincs.com Hopefulley that helps out some for you valhalla88.

what kind of timer do you use? and how much did it cost

Here's a pic of mine, the same one SB uses. I paid 89 dollars for mine.

thanks buddy i also have another question. i dont have more than one room and the last model of hydro-pvc thingy looks like a pain but the first two look very simple. why cant i just flower in the second one? maybe with 3 inch pots and less plants like 8.

Yeah you could run full term plants in the cloner if you wanted.

I made flower units out of 31 gallon rubbermade tubs with 14 gallon reservoirs.

I hate those timers!!! Ive had two fail on me out of nowhere...Thank God I checked on my plants cause I would have lost an entire crop!! The Hydro shop gave me a new one each time it failed but I cant risk it again.

ok fatman, do you have some link to show your magic...?

I have a few questions....
has any one had issues with water getting too hot?
how often do you check the ph?
how often do you need to clean the boxes. I have to clean my easy cloner monthly.

I only post the truth and I never post photos. I have no intent of ever again sitting in a court room while a jury looks at a stack of 8 by 10 colored glossies because I foolishly posted them online and because some mj growing forum site administrators willingly grant police anything they ask for. Once was enough Dude.

Then how about expaining his system. Tell you what, ifwhat you say is true why even go on another pot website? Seems like adding insult to injury if you ask me.

I will teach anyone anything I know but I will not post photos. Want to learn how to obtain results of mj tissue slides. No problem.. want to know how to formulate nutrients. simple. want to know how to build a NFT or aero or DWC that does not have root rot problems simple enough. want to know how to make aero tubes 20 inches tall and 6" wide and 8" long so 3/4 of the roots are not laying in the bottom of a small tube rotting/ And at a cost of only about $17 to $20 a tube. Really simple. Want to know how to build a HP aero st system that will grow sogs quick that have inter node spaces so close together that even a sativa is only 18 to 24 inches tall, no problem. How about growing new plant starts in broth from a little sliver of plant material rather than cling. The six within weeks will be equivalent to a seedling from seeds. It can be done with a cooler half full of water a small electric aquarium heater and a small CFC bulb that holds a few floating plastic containers. IE a culture dish. Simple. Want links to university research results on NFT systems. Paten documents with all data on aeromix air atomized chamber growing systems. Got those. Government documentation on NASA hydroponic research.. Got those. Full records of Dr Coopers research and development of the NFT system. I know the man personally and worked with him for two years. Recipes for abut any chemical nutrient formulation tion designed specifically for MJ. simple enough. Directions on how to extract humic and folic acid. Yes. Links to air atomization and HP aero nozzles. Simple. Directions on how to make Hygrozyme. Link to about and supplements in bulk that are solid in mj manufacture product at huge mark ups. Directions and ingredients list for making Chelated iron for about 10% of retail selling prices. Can do that. Want to make rooting preparations even gel type for about 10% of retail. Simple enough. Making pH up or pH down. Setting up auto water top off systems. Setting up EC controllers or pH controllers. All simple stuff to learn and do. I have been doing this stuff for decades.

No I will not post photos of my work. Simple drawings and directions, recipes and links. No photos. If none of this info or much more interests you do to a lack of photos that is simply your loss. Insulting me is not a good approach to learning from me however.

No I do not do organics or soil. My preferred grow metod is hydro, preferably large tube or deep chamber air atomized. I also like large tube medium pressure hydro sogs. I do not do indoor trees. I do drain to waste.

Are you through with your rudeness yet?

I think you guys should lay off fatman to be honest. The guy simply feels that this system is outdated and outpaced by what he has developed in his own garden. Cool? However I am the type of grower who has never grown anything hydroponically so someone like me is easily attracted to stinkbud's setup because it has been found satisfactory for many other growers and has a large resource behind it; the web. I literally searched for DIY hydro projects and his popped up. I considered the pros and cons of the other hydroponic systems I found and stinkbuds appeared to be the one that could supply me with enough medicine for my needs. Fatman, the method you referenced in your posts on this forum seem dauntingly complicated as opposed to cutting some pvc and making a reservoir. But perhaps its just me and I'm not comprehending how easy and simple your style is. I think we can all agree that stinkbud's method is relatively easy to replicate and because he has created an online resource for our benefit a whole sub-community of growers have emerged.

I for one like trying different things from time to time which is why I made the jump to hydro. I still however, have yet to build anything in regards to my new grow. I'll continue to research fatman's methods for myself but until then I will be ever so thankful for the knowledge the people here have put forth.

honestly, why even post in stinkbuds thread ? u think you know ur shit, but fuck I dont have even the slightest respect for you, you were just giving bad advice in another thread, the aeroponic brown root thread, saying all algae needs lights.. wrong wrong wrong...

and your last post .. the last sentence, is "are you through with your rudeness yet?" your the only one being rude, knocking stinks system, in stinks thread...... why dont you unsubscribe, and make your own thread.. and people who are interested in following you can, although since you have nothing to actually show to anyone...
good luck getting followers...

I don't do on-line phots for anyone. Period.

I knock stinks system in many threads, not just here. I knock any systems that are poorly designed and sub par. I suggest that if you have a problem with my knocking sad systems that you simply put my name on your ignore list rather than talking trash.


MediMary it is you that is wrong.

Algae are photosynthetic organisms somewhat like plants in structure at a cellular level, but rather different in many other regards. For a start, many algae are single-celled organisms, and these are the ones that form a slimy layer on solid objects such as a reservoir's walls, pumps etc. Like plants, algae use light to convert water, carbon dioxide, and dissolved mineral nutrients such as nitrate into the organic chemicals they use to build their bodies. No light, no algae. Brown algae as seen in reservoirs is a low light algae but it does require light. It is no different then the brown alage seen in fresh water aquariums with low lighting. Algae need light. Period.

If you like I can post dozens of links that will confirm the above information.

Dudette, I have many followers. I receive on average a dozen PM's a day asking for help. I have a slew of reputation points. I have no problem in finding people who wish to learn what I can teach them.

So get over it as seldom do old dogs change their ways, and as I am quite old I would not recommend your holding your breath while expecting me to change due to your being offended by my stating clear facts about stinkbuds years old system irregardless of where I post them. I am not here to make friends. I am not here to socialize or pretend to be a nice guy. I am not a nice guy, but I am a very knowledgable guy.

Don't forget algae need light. Period.

FINE, dont post photos. I dont need them to learn. I can understand and respect your reasons. You say you are willing to share your knowledge, then do it. The sentence in bold type is as close to explaining what you are doing as you have come. You seem to have done your share of research, so quit bragging about it and share a little of it with us.
As I stated in an ealier post, I never built the stink flower units. I went with bigger vegging units for flowering(is this like deep chamber air atomized). I am not saying it was better, it just worked better for me at the time. I am doing a soil grow this summer because I am moving and will be building a new grow setup. It will be easier to move a few mother plants to the new location than several hydro units full of plants. When I start the hydro grow again, I would love to build an easier to maintain, higher yielding system. I am open to suggestion. Just tell me where to start and I will fill in a lot of the gaps myself. That is what I found on this thread, a starting point. I am ready for a new one. If you can help me grow better smoke, I will be grateful. Just for the record, I am not here to make friends either. I am a mean old fart that just wants the best medicine I can grow.
I have stuck with this thread because there has been a lot of helpful information from a lot of good people shared here. It may have started as a thread about the stinkbud method, but it has not been limited to that.

Goodness gracious.... If each of you has a system that works, just go with that.... There's more than one way to kill a cat....All opinions are valid people...

I like the idea of higher res temps being OK. I had hell last summer. I was making big chunks of ice made from nute solution and adding them to the res. That meant draining water to make room for the ice. A pain in the ass.
I think my learning curve would be shallower going with mediun pressure aero. I probably have a lot of what I need to set it up already.
