Too much co2? Too close to light?? Wanting some opinion’s. I need truth!

[Littleman]

This is gonna be my second shot at trying to land my first j no lying here in um

 

[Littleman]

Correction my bad i out my phone In my pocket in the middle of that and yeah tired af just got outta work. Any ways here we go again…

This is gonna be my 3rd shot at trying to land my first all around good harvest. I just want a decent yield (I guess when I say that I would hope to get like 3-4 oz’s At least that would good for me but the more the merrier) with good tasted and smell, and of course pretty buds, by that i mean no airy buds, and hermies buds which what happened to my last 2. But as close as this one is getting to the light idk.

So this lil one I had kinda on the back burner vegging under some t5’s while I was trying to to deal with the revegging plant in flower. Well by the time I decided to call it quits on that one this one got tall on me outta know where and I didn’t get to train it at all. So figured it was to late to try any training, and decided to try out this 1000w hps I found for what I thought was super cheap($120 brand new) and I found it in town which was a miracle so I thought it was. Sign or something. Smh so I put it in there with the new light and some co2 sealed the room and this is what I got now. I think I was wrong


The room is at about 2000ppm I was guessing until like 2 hours ago how much I was pumping in there not a good idea I know but them controllers are crazy expensive but I got one now. So feel free if you have something to add I know it’s a lot to un pack but I have no one to really to tell this shit too so I end up venting all my trials and tribulations on here. Thanks!!
Oh and it’s running between 75-80 w lights on and 69-75 w lights off it’s a random seed I found so i dont know the genetics 5 weeks into flower 40%rh in dwc

And lastly, I stopped using the aircooled hood since I didn’t want to be venting with co2. God idea bad idea?

C02 is used when you have a perfect grow already and all variables are 100%,then CO2 will allow you to increase the other variables. Fresh air is more important unless your a master grower. How hot does it get in your room?

Welcome to the farm!
Most venting hoods are sealed so air flows through only it .
Are missing the glass/poly shield ?
As mentioned CO2 helps when everything is dialed in .

90’s with out it sealed, it’ll be 105 outside today. I tried pulling air out with two exhaust fans that totaled to about 700cfm and using a passive intake and the more air i started to pull out the hotter it got, I tried pulling air in no change, I tried air cooled hood no change, the window unit would stay on ALL DAY just for it to be 94 all day. Trust me I didn’t want too spend $400 on all the stuff that it took to set the co2 stuff up but I didn’t see any other option. What other variables do I need to be looking at? I feel like my plant height is the only other issue. Idk tho

The hood didn’t come with glass. The outside temps are affecting the room just as much as the light I feel like if not more.

I run my lights at night and drops temp quite a bit,you can bend your plant with string if you want it shorter,a bit more each day till you get your desired height. If it gets too hot your CO2 isn't doing much anyway.get your ballast out of your room if it's in there to reduce temps.

 

[Littleman]

now that it’s sealed i can keep that room at 70 in the middle of the day as long as I want too. So I don’t see why I would open my self back up to the elements? But I’m not the expert so maybe be I’m wrong, I know it was suggested to me the first time posted on here that’s what gave me the idea

Yeah I do the same thing, there’s no way I could run the lights during the day. 8pm to 9am is when they are on. The ballast is out of the room as well. Can I do that in the middle of flower?

If you're in the mid 70s then you are on the money. You can replace the air a few times a night

Yes,if you mean bending,some strains dont stop stretching till the end,some stop stretching after a point. There is no harm in 12 hours as opposed to 13,it might even be beneficial

So I can do some bending while it’s in flower, cool that’s good to know I’ll definitely be doing that.. right now actually. Thanks for that.
And your saying it maybe beneficial to have 13hrs of darkness?

I thought you were running 13 on. 8-9. 12/12 is a good proven cycle. My ceiling height in my room isn't 8 feet so If I run a sativa I have to bend.
