I think he was referring to which pH up/pH down products are we using... Maybe SB uses pure organic pH modifiers? I use products similar to these with no problems whatsoever!
A little goes a long way.
EDIT: Oops.. missed the ppm question.. I haven't noticed any large changes in ppm readings after adjusting the pH... The last couple times I've had to lower the pH I've only used ~15mL pH down in my ~10gal reservoir...

OK - One more question. It's not to sound critical in anyway, you know a hell of a lot more about than I do, but the engineer in me likes to over analyze everything.
You've got your 4x4 fence post say at a 2% downgrade with 6 pot holes in it. Between each hole you have a sprayer, 5 in total. Pot 1 and 6 are only getting sprayed from the one side whereas pots 2, 3, 4, and 5 are getting sprayed from both sides. In addition, the film coming from the sprayer runoff increases with each sprayer going downhill. That is, pot 1 is not getting any runoff, pot 2 is getting runoff from one sprayer, pot 3 is getting runoff from two sprayers and so on.
Are these assumptions correct and does it even matter? Do plants closest to the reservoir grow taller or faster than the plants on the other end?
Thanks again.

Yesterday 01:58 PMtorrey420Hey Stinkbud and other experts, what do you use to adjust your PH levels?
I have a solution now that really raises the ppm when I use it. I believe stink said he just uses GH ph up and down not any fancy organic ph up
sorry I don't know how to quote a previous message

the roots all grow together and eventually form a 1/4 inch mat that runs the length of the post...all the plants get all the nutes they could possibly need.

The plants get all the nutes, O2 and water they could ever use. Light and CO2 are your limiting factors.
Light is the most important factor. When I only had one light all the plants under the light grew faster. As soon as I added another light everything grew level.

I run my PH at approx. 5.8.Yesterday 01:58 PMtorrey420Hey Stinkbud and other experts, what do you use to adjust your PH levels?

I virtually never have to use PH up. I just use a little GH PH down when needed. I keep a water bottle with diluted PH down. I fill the bottle with about 25% PH down and the rest water.
My PH is very stable. If it's not, something is wrong...

Hey im thinking that maybe for now on i will only take the exact # of cuttings (14) every 3 weeks.
With 100% success rate with the cuttings i wouldnt need to take anymore, and wouldnt need to hold any back. ( creating different size plants) what do ya think stink? maybe take just a couple extra to be safe?
I think beacuse my setup (veg and clones under 24/7 light) thay are growing very quick, my latest veg plants are now 1ft high and its only been 10 days..lol

Speaking of taking cuttings, do any of you guys who have been doing this awhile noticed any sort of "evaluationary" effect? That is, you take cuttings from the best one or two plants and start a whole new crop. From the new crop you take cuttings from the best one or two plants and so on. Not up to that point myself yet, just wondering.

HEY stink how r u doing just wanted to say thanx for making this thread it realy help me out alot!!!!! stink wut if i veg the plants a little longer than 3 weeks will the your system get to crowded just looking for maxium yield!! but if 12 is best then i wont even think of veg longer than 3!!!!!!

Stink has to keep his plants under 12" because of the state law, he is a licensed grower.
If you veg out your plants too long, you will have heighth problems unless you have a lot of room on top. Some plants can grow 3-4 feet after being put into flower. Let them veg for what ever you have room for. i would stick pretty close to the 12" on your first grow just to check it out.
The whole program is written up in full on page 75 of this post which will answer most of your questions.
Good Luck with your grow!

With all that spraying going on in the fence post, that water is picking up more O2 from the air in the spray that it won't need an air stone in the res.
That will oxygenate the water better then the air stone will, IMO
Good Luck with your grow!

Also with a cycle timer the plants are setting in air for 5 minutes at a time. Can't get more oxygenated than that!

These vegged for a month. I just switched the light to 12/12

It works well for me because some of my strains are slow starting. Blueberry is my favorite but it is not a big producer. Leaving it in veg allows it to get big enough to produce like my other strains.

I gotcha.... i guess the quiver im working with now are fast growers, and you kinda have to improvise with the different strains. This is so fun!

In fact the Blueberry strain I'm growing has been passed around here for over 25+ years with no change what so ever.
No one around here knows how old the cutting actually is. Word has it that it is from the original Blueberry developed 35 years ago in Oregon. But there is no way to know for sure.
The plant is an exact duplicate every time I grow it...Dank as fuck!!!

feds can do whatever they want. its up to you to choose how you live and choose if you talk to god and listen to cops man.
dont let people run your life dude. run your life the way you want it. even if the cops stop you... when you die and you havent done anything then youll feel like a dummy.
and thats for me too. i could die tomorow and wouldnt have done much... but i am doing alot instead
