Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Thanks so much guys.. I have floramite and avid.. (too scared to break out the avid, heard some nasty stuff about it.. so i dont have any experience with it)

As for the floramite, there are way too many answers to the same question. How much do I use?

Anyone of my fellow stinkbuddies know the correct answer to that question? and is it ok to dip clones in floramite?

I hope our fearless leader and grandmaster StinkBud returns soon.. I know he's a very busy man.. Thanks for being such a great teacher and all

around awesome human being!

I have used the no pest strips with luck but the last little fuckers had a tollerance to it. They could live right next to the strip happily. Ive also heard there are some mite strains have become resistant to avid. I have been mixing a neem concenrate and then einstien oil. Since then I havent seen any mites hanging around. The stink bud fourmn is back up....search out dr greenthumb over there for more info on aztrol. From what I read that stuff is the shit.

Stinkbuddies forum isn't up all the way yet. That is just a place to post messages until he finishes. So you will have to wait to do that search on Dr.GreenThumb but yeah he covered this topic a lot.

I did it with 3 so far and I swear it didn't seem to shock them at all. I took a picture on there when I picked most the rockwool off then a picture 8 days later showing the roots exploded again. Plants are extremely healthy.

Man 400 on clones, that makes me nervous to give advice.. But I would worry to leave them in that rockwool and have stem rot.

Well if it has been done before, ill try it. Otherwise I could just make a clean cut and re root them I guess. But then that defeats the point of buying clones in the first place, what was too get a first harvest in quick, in the new system.

Neem oil works a charm on spider mites, although if they are in flower I don't know if I would use it. You can try these http://www.arbico-organics.com/category/pest-solver-guide-mites

I did a clean cut and reroot with the G13 clone I had. Took about 20 days to root, finally it did. So this time I just plucked away in globs of rockwool, when I got down to the roots busting out of the bottom of the stem I took more time to leave as much as possible.

Any chance you could throw the pic up on here mate?

Yeah when I get home tonight but not a promise cuz if I do that I am sure to forget. Just a plan to do so..

Hey, good to see you again. I haven't been around for a while myself. Are you one of the guys that was using veg units to flower in? Thats what I did and was wondering how it was working for other folks that didnt go the fence post route. It is really working out well here. 31 gal root tub on top of a 14 gal res.

Yeah I made a fence post too but didnt get a chance to use it. The ol lady got prego and we had a baby, so I retired for now till I can do a show somewere not near the homestead.

As for the veg units I modified a bit, they worked great. I found by putting smaller holes in the bottom of the top tote, and more of them that the roots had a harder time getting through. And I used screen type material around the pumps like a sock to keep the roots that made it down out.

I did a good # of the veg totes outside at a friends house in the country and it worked out great. They loved the sun and grew so fast. The temps in the res didnt get all that warm either.

I will be still checking in from time to time.


Also what happend to stinkbuds site I checked it out the other day and it didnt seem to be working. Did some drama go on that I missed somewere from not being online for a few.
peace

k here's two plants. They were huge rockwool cubes with roots coming out when I started, so I took a lot of root here.

Used H202 on my hands and scissors first. I used scissors to cut slices and then hacked sections out. When it is just a golf ball size root ball left I am using scissors rare, most holding root with one set of index/thumb then using the other hand to pinch off rock wool. My main concern is not pulling the roots at the stem, these are to be saved.

Why? Stem rot, too damn much water in these things.. Here's two plants, two pictures of one plant then the other.

All the plants look the damn same in 8 days so here's the Plant 1, 8 days later. That was 1/29 and she is ready for flower now, but I am growing her for clones. HeroJuana OG fck I can't wait..

MeJuana... I have had experience with this... even little bits of RW will cause trouble because it just holds too much water...

I ended up using tweezers to GENTLY and CAREFULLY remove every last bit of RW...

Stem and root rot will always be a factor anytime RW is constantly soaked...

Hope this helps..

They seem ok I moved 2 plants like that to flower holding back my HeroJuana OG. I like this one so she's getting ready to make a dirt mother plant as well as a batch for the flower unit. Anyway long story short soon we will know I hope those two in the flower unit make it. HeroJuana, still in veg, is close to making babies she just needs a little boost now to thicken up her sticks she was just a bit shorter than all the other plants for a bit. So her stem isn't going to have time to rot, she's close to her personal cycle.

Hmm,, ive never had a problem with rockwool and i get clones in RW all the time.

Ive always just stuffed them in the net pots with all my other cuttings on 1 on 5 off all the way from clone to flower.

I use the same system DirtHawker does and I have never had a problem with rockwool. I buy clones all the time and throw them in this system . Hell the OG kush Stink gave me I put in rockwool at his house and it has roots now.

Well... I'll keep my mouth shut next time... I just said because every time I have dealt with RW and I kept wet, I had troubles...

But good on you guys for not having issues,...

Great advise thanks, Ill take away some rock wool then just pop them in there.

Bwhahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah I guess either way. One thing if you leave rockwood get it snug wit the collar don't allow pooling in between.

nice work man!

Im hoping stink or somebody has any experience using the SB formula for dirt plants, Ive been using the stink mix in my NFT res and using the same botanicare hydro problend at 1 or 2 tsp a gal in some dirt plants. (my first and last dirt grow) Anyway my dirt girls are getting a little to light and Im wondering If its from using hydro nutes in soil, I also checked botanicares online feeding sced and they say to use alot more than the bottle recomends. Any advice? I know anything dirt is non relative to this thread but with all the botanicare users here I figured you all are my best resource, My first SB NFT is 3 1/2 wks in 12/12 and its truly amazing!!
