Giving Co2 A Shot, Part Deux

[DemonTrich]

Not of you knew where the location is. Lol.

Thanks, in 2 more weeks everything should double in size. Hoping my Cannatonic 4 cbd plant will produce some more weight than previous run. I Need her for my personal use and my MS patients meds.

Really hoping I have an excellent harvest, unlike the last fiasco.

End of week 5 update

Lowered my day temps by 2*, lowered night by 3*
Lowered deheuy to 60%
Co2 still at 100 ppm on fuzzy logic setting
Cleaned up some lower dead leaves

Growth seems to be stacking nicely, smell is great too, and super sticky if I happen to brush up on a cola.

 

[DemonTrich]

Damn auto correct

1000ppm, not 100.
Sorry


This is the point last run when things were looking great, then the shit hit the fan the remaining 2.5-3 weeks. I'm hoping by lowering temps by 1 to 2* the remaining weeks should be good.

 

[yooper420]

Looking great right now, keep it green and growing, like ya been. Good karma only.

Loox super dank

Thanks
This was about the same time frame as my last run when things went to the shitter. Heat was my issue last run. Keeping her cool this run, fuck my power bill. Lol

My chaos smells oh so damn good, as does my Strawberries. Can't wait to harvest on the 28/29th of this month.

 

[wasfromks]

I'm excited to see the results.

 

[Mr.Xagain]

so after the 1st run was a fail (well part fail), im changing this up quite a bit.

strains:
chaos x3
gorilla glue4 x7
bruce banner3 x1
strawberries n cream x1
god bud x1
cannatonic 4 cbd x1
snake venom x2

2600w (1000/600/1000) in big kahuna air cooled hoods
1000ppm from day 1 until harvest
80* day temps
75* night temps
65% rh from wks 1-4
50% wks 5 to finish
14k btu dual hose
71 pint deheuy w/pump (now up 3' from the ground)

technaflora recipe for success nutes
terpinator
budswel organic guano 3-8
newtons apple 3-8

I realize that your not a noob and i mean no disrespect bro, but... 1000ppm right out the gate ? Sounds like a lot + you have so many different varieties. Each 1 will have different preferences. IMHO... i would start with a lower ppm work it up. If any strain doesnt tolerate it they'll show signs before they get fried. Best of luck to you.

 

[Mr.Xagain]

Try lowering RH to 50% max. 48 even better. Looks awesome !!!

 

[DemonTrich]

I drop rh 5% last 3 weeks. 65/60/55%

I tried it the last way with the advise of another grower and got FUCKED. So now I listed to 1 and only 1 grower. My buddy who's been growing for 30 years, owns a grow store, and uses bottles. So giving his way a try this go. If I fail this time, I'm throwing the co2 stuff out and going back to air exchange rooms like I was doing and getting +1gpw yeilds for the past 3 years.

And 1000ppm co2 saturation is nothing compared to what others are using, 1200, 1500, 2000ppm. Also if you look thru 1st thread about the co2 run, you'll see I started low, increased co2 thru thwnweeks, then backed off last few weeks to 400 at finish. My controller was malfunctioning and I had a heat issue. So by me playing it safe at 100 ppm start to finish and keeping my temps in chech, I should have. great harvest.

 

[We Solidarity]

you'll enjoy the humidity drop. Don't be afraid to drop temps to the low 70s later in flower! Things are looking great - hope this one kills it!

 

[DemonTrich]

I hope so too. Current leaf and bud temps are 76* on 40 leaves on 16 plants. Ambient temps are 79, temps direct under the bulbs are 79/80. I'll drop my day and night temps by 2* this week, and next week, then harvest. My scrubber is having a hard time keeping up with the stink. Lol. Gonna have to flip my scrubber after this run.

Weekly update

End of week 6 / start of 7

Leaf temps and ambient temps great.
Co2 still at 1000 ppm
Going to run the glues, snake venom, and chaos to 67 or 68 days. I'll see how long I can let the bruce banner, god bud, Cannatonic4 (she might be ready by weeks end), and strawberries n cream. I'm really digging the terpinator on the chaos. Damn girl just gets frostier day by day. Can't wait to throw in my darlins net, mob boss, and 2 attitude freebies Grape og (Grape romulan x Tahoe og), and island sweet skunk (crosses I forgot). Damn, gonna need to build yet another bigger room soon. Lol

 

[yooper420]

Still looking great. Having never used CO2, my only thought is.... don`t out think your self. Sounds a bit touchy to me. Just stick those 2 green thumbs into it and go for it. Green karma your way.
PS, looks like one helluva harvest coming up to me.

 

[DemonTrich]

Thanks

I'm keeping it simple this round. Low consistant co2 numbers but enough to make a difference, Low temps, then lower temps last 3 weeks, lower rh last 3 weeks (60/55/then 50 last week). The flowers are pretty rock solid and frosty.

I noticed a big change not paying attention to the values on my co2 controller. They are very inaccurate compared to the 3x rh/temp gauges I have under each hood that read exact the same but differ than the controller. My 1st mistake last run was reading the controller and not my 3x gauges.

As soon as I harvest I'll know if I have a winner by how many nets my yeild takes up. I used 3x 6 level xl large dry racks. Hopefully I'll have to break out my 4th one.

hey man,can you get a pic or 2 of the cannatonic? i just picked the ct up not long ago just dont see alot of pics on them.

 

[DemonTrich]

sure thing. ill be back in my room around 7 or 8 tonight. a previous run I had no problems with her, this time around I found 2 nanners poking thru one top cola. they were about a week old by the size/color, but not opened up (thank goodness). same cola, and only on 1 cola. im thinking its from a fan blowing on her 24/7. her wax is awesome when combined with some potent normal thc wax. I do a 50/50 combo for myself and my one MS patient. seems to do the trick. alone the C4 doesn't really do anything, add a bit of thc to her and works like a charm.

 

[sixstring]

yeah man i got her for the cbd cause im growing for 3 cancer patients and 2 ms right now and they need something that wont put em down.
