Thanks for all that very detailed info, makes a lot difference to people wanting to learn new techniques and styles.
Just one more question, what about the charcoal filter.... at 60% humidity, do you find it doesn't mask the smell as well as it should?

Edit: doesn't seem like you're using a filter...my bad.

been away for a bit, just got out the hospital with pneumonia. hope the wife did what i told her to do in my garden. so much for my flu and pneumonia shots, worthless.

my filter is in my room with the fan scrubbing the room entirely. its a monster scrubber, about 65# iirc, and have a 8" 720cfm fan at 75% running 24/7. I cant smell anything at this time, still sick.

ill post up the weekly pic and room changes later tonight.

Excellent work I found when running co2 having temps 85-90f and humidity 70% lights on, right through flower until the last 2 weeks then dropping it to 30% gave me by far the best yields. I remember Krusty claiming you needed high humidity to get the high yields but he used sulphur to control botrytus.

I like to keep my rh 65 or below, even when I ran an air exchange room, my rh was only 65 tops. It's currently at 60, my 4 rh gauges read from 55 and 60 at any time.

Couple more days.for the week end pics. P
Flowers are really bulking up. Found the best 2 of 4 snake venom keepers, next flip will pick the winner. Looks like a great yeild this run.

Great work in the UK generally it's not worth running co2 so we air breathe, weather is not hot enough to need air cons and most UK growers would rather add another light than air con and co2. Also building proper grow rooms is less popular and nearly everyone runs tents unless they're large scale commercial growers feeding their Vietnamese slaves dog food! (This actually happened just this week)

I've ran co2 a couple of times but in the end what I gained for adding co2 I lost for running an aircon but you got to love co2 still lol because the results are so much more consistent.

I consider Co2 a "nutrient" and treat it as such.
I Personally have never grown with out Co2.

Weekly update

Cpl days late

Flowers are really bulking up. I dropped the deheuy to 55%, dropping it to 50% tonight and will leave it at 50 thru harvest. Harvest dates are Feb 18/19. This will put me 1 week after initial 12/12 flip. I scoped the trichs last night. 75% cloudy, rest are 50/50 cloudy/clear trichs. Visual inspection of the cola it's going to be a better yeild from non co2 grows in the past. Could be just my mind playing tricks, but the pics say a thousand words. I'll also post up some comparison pics as well after this run is over.

Weekly sunday update

Things are still looking great. 4 more days until chop time. Looking to have 2 of my patients helping me with this to make it a 10hr day vs 3x12hr days.

The cola are massive, huge heavy dense colas.

End of week 8 update
Chopping tomorrow morning and most likely all day. Got 2 patients going to help with this. By the looks of it, I'd say the co2 payed off. I'll know more tomorrow as I chop and put into my dry nets.

I'm going to do things a bit different next round. Not sure if I'll add on to this thread, or make a new one.

Anyways, here's some pics from tonight. I'll also try and get some pics of the bigger colas tomorrow. The sfv og x dmt (killed off from nanners), is HUGE as is my chaos strains. I'm working on another sfv cut as its in my top 4.

Stupid phones taking too damn long to upload. I'll try later tonight.

ill just say this in 1 sentence, this was a learning curve, and you learn from your mistakes. stay tuned for the next run, hopefully I can get this shit right, or back to an air exchange room I go.

Here's a pic of the fluffy garbage

Still loaded with cloudy trichs, still gets u medicated,but looks like ass. Have about my legal limit of this stuff. Most my patients will scoop it up at 100/oz, vs tossing it in my wax pile
