Thank you! Ya I keep hearing about CO2 but never thought about doing it. I’ll have to try on the next round of grow I go. And this tent now has duct tape all over it because of light leaks so I’ll have to be getting a new tent anyways. But I’ll def try the CO2 way and I plan on doing a RDWC next time just for the easiness of cleaning the tankWell, your plant looks very healthy, so that's a great start.
I'm thinking the only way you're going to increase your yield is either more (or more powerful) lights or you need a more heavy yielding strain.
Genetics is a huge part of it. Some strains just don't put out as much as others. Maybe look around for heavy hitters like Super Silver Haze or pretty much any haze strain next time, those generally put out very high yields.
The general rule for lights goes 1 lb. per 1,000 watt light (like a HPS light, not LED). But, this is not gospel and there can be a lot of other variants depending on the light, strain, nutrients used, etc. etc.
Co2 supplementation will help increase yields significantly, as well. Particularly in a small tent like that, might be beneficial to get a Co2 bag for a small space like that, or there are a lot of homemade Co2 generators you can make, or you can go as far as rigging a professional Co2 system but for a small tent like that, might be overkill. You might have to try to seal the tent a little better, too. Like putting duct tape over every crack and seam.
Get a decent Co2 meter (can find on Amazon for under 50 bucks) so you know what the PPM of Co2 is in your tent. Keep the levels jacked to 2,500 ppm and watch your plants explode! :D
Anyway I'd say it looks like you're on the right track. Healthy plants are the first ingredient to a maximum yield.
Keep up the good work!
Yeah that's why I suggested trying to seal up his tent a little better with some duct tape or something. But, for the price the bags aren't that bad, they do work for small spaces as long as you're not opening the tent constantly.I wouldn't waste your time or money on the co2 bags, you can create more co2 just hanging with your plants and breathing in there.. especially useless if you are not running a sealed room.. for a tent, you'll just be venting it out
this is a great idea, I also brew beer so I could just put the fermentor in the tent... thanks!Also, you could make a Co2 generator pretty easily with a 5 gallon bucket, some water, sugar, and yeast. This can be dangerous if not done properly because you're essentially making alcohol, but if done right it works great and it's probably just as cost effective as the bags, and probably makes more Co2. Just requires more work, so I guess it depends on how much you want to dedicate to that in one way or another.
Co2 is really something you want to do when you have all other factors under control. Otherwise the cost is not worth the outcome. Go over board on air you cant pump to much air into a dwc.Thank you!
