At over 300+ pages this thread is turning out to be more than I had ever planned on.

Funny thing is before I started this thread, I didn't even think people would take much of an interest in it.

So I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have taken a part in this thread. Without all of you it would be nothing.

The attitude of this thread is really unique. Very much a family kind of feeling. It's like nothing I've ever seen before.

People helping people just because it's the right thing to do. That's the ultimate level to achieve. It pumps up your inner soul.

When I see the results of your hard work it makes me feel proud. I can only help so many people myself. This thread has allowed me to help so many others through you.

The feeling I get helping others is a natural kind of high. The best kind!

So, Thank you all for spreading the love!

You have to keep the male alive. No big deal though. Just cut the plant back to where there are just a few small lower branches.

Now watch those branches for nuts. If you see any, pull them off. You have about a week before the male flowers are ripe enough to produce pollen.

This works good for hermies also.

Here is a little tip for you. Let the balls grow big enough to look scary. Then clip them off and put them in a glass of water far away.

The flowers will continue to ripen and produce pollen. Save that pollen and paint it onto a couple of buds with a small paintbrush.

Now you have just bred your own unique strain! Call it something cool like tangerine purple kush. It's all in the name bro!

Congrats on your 300+ page thread stinky. You set the example for everyone here to follow and not just for growing, you've set the standard for attitude and kindliness as well.

Also, since you mentioned hermies what do you if you get one? Should you pull it or just remove the balls? Is it good for feminized seed?

You know, I read a lot of these posts, been following Stink for quite some time (since I became a Member). I have seen many threads about many things, and never have I seen the true sense of why people grow this plant other than money, or personal gain.
The amount of knowledge that you are spreading through here is not just hype or plain personal experience, but a long history of trial and error, and I'm sure tons of research - I appreciate everything.
I started building a grow cab today, 33"x30"x48". Nothing too fancy, however I did make sure to vent it very well due to the fact that I squeezed a 1000w switchable into the top. I am going to the store today to get all the supplies for the StinkBud Fence Post Cultivator... lol... I was just wondering, can anyone give me advice on what would be a good SOG seed for this small, yet very efficient space? I am doing the fence post set up, six posts, four 3" net pots each. Any advice is helpful? Oh, and does anyone think Co2 is necessary for such a small space (would I see major gains)?

StinkBud: I think (hope!) I speak for a lot of readers that owe YOU a BIG THANKS! I started reading this thread because of the title, but kept on reading it (to 300+ pages!!) because of the compassion you show. Not just for growing, or for helping others grow better, but the compassion you show everyday by helping the sickest of the sick in their time of need. I am in awe of your empathy and hope to someday reach the level of care for others that you show!
Once Again, THANK YOU!

I just had an interesting problem with my new UPS. I charged it up overnight and plugged all my 5 pumps into it this morning. It ran perfect all day. Tonight i went out there and was working in the flower room when i noticed that i didnt hear that pleasant waterfall sound. I sat there for over 5 minutes waiting...nothing!!! I went to the ups and saw that there was no lights on it or the timer. WTF!!! I immeaditly plugged the timer back into the wall outlet and it started right up. I dont know how long it was off for, I checked my clones and a few were lying down. That was an hour ago..now that the pumps are back on and the clones have already perked up. and the UPS is sitting there ...I wanna chukk it out the window!!!

Very strange.

I just picked up a new UPS, its the next bigger one rated at 485 VA. It says to find the power requirements for my equiptment multiply total watts ___ x 1.86 = VA

So i have 5 pumps at 25watts each

125 x 1.86= 232.5 VA... so I am in safe range.

but my question is? what is the total amp at startup?

any one know how much total amps from 5 pumps at start up would initialy be?

bearly 1 amp for all 5 pump at any given point

Code: 
Converting Watts to Amps:
Amps = Watts/Volts     Example: 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp

Converting Amps to Watts:
Watts = Amps x Volts    Example: 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts

Converting Watts to Volts:
Volts = Watts/Amps    Example: 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts

Converting Volts to Watts:
Watts = Amps x Volts    Example: 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts

Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage:
Amps = Watts/Volts    Example: 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps

Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage:
Volts = Watts/Amps    Example: 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts
Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second.
Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose.
A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think voltage).
But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have
more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute.
In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife
can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of
current can turn into a lot of watts.

Startup draw is a ton more than one amp. Constant running is below an amp. I believe someone tested the 396 at around 6 amps at startup and something like .5 amp constant.

Im assuming that 5 pumps at startup would be 30amps?

if its 30 amps at startup then it says multiply total amps of all equiptment by 120 to get Volt Amp..
which comes to 3600!!! crap

it says dont exceed 1440 VA....

Some of the guys here on this thread are modifying my design to use smaller reservoirs and just one fence post.

I also have experimented with a small version of my flowering unit. It has 6 holes and works great. It uses a 10 gallon res.

This is the one you want to build! Check out the photo.
Click to expand...
Thanks SB.
That's what I was thinking about doing but a few measurements and I thought even this modified version might be too long.
What length did you make those fence posts to hold 3 plants each?
The guy I'm buying the fence post from said he will cut it before shipping (it's the 5x5 post on eBay). If I read your plans right, you have the holes set 7" on center. So with 3 holes per post, plus about 3" on either side of the last hole, I'm thinking maybe 22" would work (30" for 4 spots per post?). I might be able to find room for that length.

BTW for everyone... I noticed commenting on this thread being 300+ pages. There's a setting in the user control panel that allows you to change the number of posts per page displayed. I find it much easier to read long threads when set to maximum. For example, this thread has only 77 pages now. Changing your settings will make reading these long threads much easier without constantly loading the next page

8 - 9 amps per pump, but thats just a rough figure. dif manufactures are dif specs and the bigger the pump the more startup amps. Im thinkin of designing a delay so that when a timer kicks on it turns each pump on 5 seconds after the other. but still the contactor is cheap and easy and works. KISS right. peace :bigjoint:

Yea andy, i plan on using your contactor also,,, but the contactor will be plugged into the UPS?
this sounds like a fire waiting to happen :fire:

My new veg closet is finished and I got the first batch of clones in her. I hacked a Headband Mom up pretty good to fill a full 23 hole tray. She is pictured on the right in recovery mode... On the left are a couple OGK young Moms that will provide round 2 cuts.

Hoping for roots.

Thanks Stink - you rule!

I dont know what to say that hasnt allready been said, other than I race home from work to log on to see what I might learn and chat with the new stinkbuddy family. You did so much in good karma and it shows. and will keep showing after you get on that hightimes article. dido to all the comments quoted of this quote. You know what I mean lol:bigjoint:

I think you will be safe. as long as all your conections are tight and not touching. If you need any help just pm me and I will be glad to try.
I really need to get off my slacker butt and draw up those timer and timer contactor plans. been getting a lot of people askin. Whats so funny Is it would take a room full of enginers way longer than a bunch of stoners on the riu forum , to make and modify/adapt this wonderfull system of stinkbuds.:bigjoint:

Yeah Bubbler - that OG is looking great. Don't ya just love OG... I can't wait to try some via the Stink method. I forget if you've finished a batch of OG in the AeroNFT unit yet? If so, how did it go?

What Nutes did you use... any idea where they max out PPM wise? In coco - I run about 1200 - 1400 with a predominantly Advanced Sensi Bloom nute mix. I plan on running the Botanicare line as Stink uses for first batches, but I have seen some great results with Advanced in other mediums. Any insight you have into the particulars of OGK would be helpful.

Also - have you used the Stink cloner with OGK cuts? If so, please disclose you general setup - pump time, water PH and water temp, room temp, RH, etc (anything else you may have used in the way of hormones, IBA, etc). In rockwool, I have found OG to take a bit longer than other strains to root (such as Headband - which I decided to try first as it seems to root very easily in other mediums).

Thanks in advance.

WTF! Those plants where just a few inches high a week ago! Not that I'm all that much surprised.

I love the netting bro. I can't wait to see how it works. It would be too easy to cable tie it to my existing supports.

I could run a tee where the corner is now. Then run another bar above the existing bar. That way I could use two layers of netting. One low and the other towards the top of the plants.

I think you're on to something...

thanks bro for real you have done helped me and so many others and im trying my damest to help in anyway i can to make the system even better than it already is wich is dam near impossible but hey the netting will make a differnce thats something i can say forsure with out a dought and i appreciate you just giving it thought the net is around 9 bucks and if you cut it in half or fours you would have nets for at least two of your systems upper and lower the other bonus is your wife will stop nagging on you about stinking up the laundry and house because your playing in your garden:lol: joke lol you know its true stink ha lol peace bro
