Day 38 update, nothing to report other than I can't get over how fast these things grow ;) fed all with 2lt water 2 days ago and there almost dry, said it once and il say it again these babies are super thirsty!!!

Purchasing some canna boost and canna pk13/14 anybody used this stuff? I used it on my last grow and my results were amazing for my first time, dont know if had anything to do with the boost or pk but Im defo running it again this time, Wat do you think, waste of money or a must in the growing community?

Anyway pics above ;)

Don't know what type of camera you have. On my SLR digital I use a 80A filter to cut down the yellow and striping from being so close to the HPS light taking pictures. Plus ghettogrower has a great point. Camera flash can stress some plants. I only take pictures once a week. Especially during bloom.

My camaras just a standard smart fone cam, I always have the flash turned off as I thought I'd read something about them not liking it too much and you've just confirmed it, may just have to invest in an slr tho especially for the later end of flower ;) get some nice bud porn! !! Cheers for your input guys

Hi mate, nute wise I like to keep things simple, all I use is canna coco a+b throughout veg, when I flip to 12/12 I slowly start introducing canna boost accelerator and then for weeks 3 thru 6 I add pk13/14, my pots are canna coco natural with a 70/30 coco to pearlite, saying that tho 2 of the pots are pure coco as I ran out of pearlite and funnily enough there the 2 biggest plants.. thirsty girls tho and they love there nutes, up to full strength recommended dose and they could still handle more, most plants would be burnt to fuck with that amount but these girls love it, hoping to see monster buds ;)

from wat iv seen so far from this strain I would definitely run it again, see how the buds turn out, hoping incredible will be the word I can put to my final product, 8 weeks and counting; ) depending on trichs obviously, got my jewelers loupe and pocket microscope at the ready; )

They sure seem to be thriving this faze, and the cannape [pun intended] looks very even, despite the different medium mix. Think I need to crack open a couple beans of this strain myself. Btw, dude.. what's the heater for ? ._.

 

[eskiiboy uk]

Cannape ;) i like it!! I'd definitely recommend giving this strain a go, she's a pleasure to grow!!

The heaters for wen my lights go off, got it set on a timer so wen lights go off the radiator comes on, its no longer inside the tent now tho as space became a problem with leaves getting too close, so iv placed the radiator inside a box outside the tent with my intake ducting attached sucking warm air straight into the tent, keeps my lights off temps at a steady 18-20c, works like a charm, with out the heater my lights off temps drop to as low as 6c so having the heater is a must.. il post some more pics tonight wen I get home

Day 41 update - day 3 of flower

 

[eskiiboy uk]

Here's how iv got my radiator set up now iv moved it out of the tent, stuck it inside a box and attached the intake ducting to the top, cut a flap on the botom to allow suction and hooked it up to a timer to come on wen lights go off, bit of a botched job but works perfect ;) keeps my lights off temps at a steady 18-20c

Nice DIF, purple potential grow room! I believe it's, 15ºC night ~ 28ºC day, to almost guarantee purple plants, regardless of strain.

The intake box looks ghetto ;) but awesome! If there's space left over you could throw in a jug of fermentation, Water + bakers yeast + suggar = co2

The yeast will reproduce itself, just add suggar every other day and give it a little shake. Once a week dilute the yeast ferm by pouring out half of it and replace with new water.

Only fill the jug to 3/2 to leave room for the foam that sometimes rises.

I love that heater box. Very Cool!:)

Yea il be trying the purpling thing again this time;) I always thought it was stain dependent but saying that critical kush could be one of those strains, but after wat you've said about any strain il see if I can force them colours out;)
an as for the heater in a box lol it works a little too well,had to turn the thing down to its lowest setting as it was pumping out that much heat my tent was 25.3C, works better than it did wen I had in the tent, only comes on wen lights go off of course!!

It's funny that you mention the co2 as Iv recently been looking into this;)
so, if I use a 2l bottle how much water to sugar to yeast should I use ? Definitely interested in introducing this to my groom!! also the whole purpling due to colder night time temps, you also gain more thc as the plant goes into fight mode and seals it's buds with resin or so iv heard, it seemed to have worked on my last grow, for every joint I grinded up I was left with a massive finger full of crystal, critical kush this time tho which has a high thc content anyway, hoping for some pretty impressive buds;)

Definitely need to know the ratio of sugar water and yeast tho;) got me excited! !!!

Cheers man;) idea came to me the other night wen I was stoned, works a treat!!!

 

[eskiiboy uk]

So here's where I'm at, I got a 2l bottle and half filled with luke warm water and added 4 cups sugar, I have no idea how much a cup is so I used a small sized glass, I then shuck the mixture til the sugar had disolved, I then added 2tbspn of yeast and shuck again then topped up with water to about 2/3 full, 2 hours later I checked on it and it was bubbling away like mad;) it's now sat behind my oscillating fan in front if the intake hole in my groom, see wat happens; ) my room measures 80x80x160, will a 2l bottle be enough or should I add more? ?
let me no if wat iv done sounds right..

Cheers guys

There's no real "upper limit" for co2, (recommend grow room value around 1500 ppm) No reason to make it a hassle, any extra co2 you add by fermentation will just be a bonus for the ladies helping them turn that calvin cyckle faster.

About getting them to show the purple (zanaphyll) here's a good blogarticle about it, http://www.theweedblog.com/how-to-grow-purple-marijuana/
