Prom

Why not just use the frame to hang stuff and leave the rest away, if you don't wanna close anyhow. Without the disturbing sides, you have also easier access. You miss the reflector.. but when you run CO2.. light is not your issue you should have plenty.. as plenty that sunglasses become a must.

Biggest I know you can buy is 6x12 ... meters hehehe

your tent units are feet or meter? is one of those measurements needed to get a good picture

That looks more decent and i order my curing bags from growguru.co.za, very fast, very reliable guys You will be way more happy with that unit then standing up at night to open a valve Please run a diary... very curious to see a report how often you have to water and feed... with the co2 and the light, they should consume a lot more as normal, get that into calculation too. They will need more nutrition and ask more often for water.

^^ I just posted it in another post.. I got told you run CO2 concentration between 900 and 1100 ppm Yes, I agree, bud burn mainly happens when there is not enough air flow. My LED are just warm.. and I can keep my hand on all the time.. there is no chance to burn my plants, even they touch the light. The cooler your lights, the more efficient they run.. and the less they burn anything I run my lights during night and go dark during the day. Not nice to maintain, but I can run most of the time without AC support and stay below 26 even in Summer. If they get a tick to warm, is during dark time. But AC not letting it go over 28. Winter I try to stay around 20 dead. With every fuckup we learn ^^ or should learn. Don't repeat the mistake and your next run is smoother but the little burn is also not to tragic.. plant is short stressed, just keep them praying.

Open manual is fun in the beginning... like a friend, she opened a guest house here. Na, i can hose water my garden. Guess how long it took her to ask to install a automated irrigation system? You have a range to stay in, below little addon effect, above even bad for your plants growth, 900 to 1100ppm. I would let a sensor do the job and try to keep it around 1000ppm during light cycle. And think into that direction, you would go skydive with a home made parachute? if, then stay rather on the safe side, get a product people recommend for indoor growing. Turning your gas on and off by hand is as weird as turning your light cycles on and off by hand... nobody does that over longer time before you get a timer for your plug.

The floor will not grow weed ^^ SoG rocks what kush you grow there? Forgot: One positive thing you get, the terpene bad border seems to go from 26 to 28C with the higher CO2 concentration.. but still ^^ over 30 is just way to much

Sometimes a quick chat brings new points to think into. I got some input from the mentioned source, love Telegram hehehe You need to vent the room, you are not getting around it.. or you plan to use some kind of scuba tank and breather to work in that room (joke). Reason is simple. You shouldn't enter the room with a concentration of 600ppm of CO2 and above.. and you also shouldn't go over 1100ppm but stick over 900ppm for your light cycle, over 1100ppm it hurts more as it helps. What means.. you can't enter during light time and can only enter during dark time after venting.. or you vent during light and have to refill your CO2 ambient concentration to get the benefit back. The sensor has a rs232 interface.. if you connect it to a controller and a stepper motor, you could get it handled automatically. ^^ Was my suggestion to your regulator.. he recommends more a system made to work in combination, meter and release valve. Saver, more expensive. So directly spoken.. you walk into that room without thinking to much.. might be the last you do. The concentration you work with is lethal. Mhh.. I think I go that way when I have employees

Over 30 is not good.. your terpenes suffer rather bad over 30. Your goal should be to stay under 26.. best 20 dead during flower ( is my personal opinion and experience, talking Celsius) 1040 watts and 3200 watts are 2 different pair of shoes as it not just adds the lights wattages, you need fans for that 3x2.2 area.. 2-3 50cm directional to get a circulation going and some oscillating ones to mix all up. I write a friend and check if he has some input to your CO2 meter. He has a lot more knowhow then me on that area. I just read up and decided that I have way to many other issues to solve, before I can even consider to use a CO2 setup. You let the 3x2.2 room run for a day phase and see how the AC coops with the 3200 watt lights? I am rather curious, if a 1.5kw ac can handle it, my guess would have been higher.. but I have been wrong many times before

as long as you stay below 68%.. you have not much to fear. How many kwh does that system eat a month? I just saved 450 watts/h with the exchange of 4 of my inliners and made a happy happy dance

hehehe ok, 10 x 320 is sexy for that space.. 3200 is in the right number area. But to hang your lights correct, the Quantum Flux Meter would help.. pity not cheap those toys. Closed environments are tricky, as you really have to get all parameters right yourself. In any case log your humidity in a full grow to check you are in the green during the heavy respiration phase (dark time) when the plants have some size. If you can keep your humidity in the right area.. with that climate control ^^ should get some serious tasty weed As the gas can kill you, always work with a backup sensor. I would install one with a reading outside the door and one when you enter. If both show the same result, you can enter. Otherwise you better check before you work in that room. You can't smell CO2.. and you need to check that your lower part is ventilated extra well, CO2 sinks to the ground as heavier as the usual air mix. So place your sensors low. If your AC can handle the heat the lights will produce, you should have no issues.. depending on your humidity log, you might need an additional dehumidifier.. or your AC will have to switch to heating, to keep the temp stable. But if you run into humidity issues, venting the humid air to the outside, take in a fresh batch and get that cooled down again, is faster. I have very bad experience with mold and closed rooms. Perhaps I am just to much burned from that side.

Don't you think a carbon filter and exchanging air would be way cheaper compared to close the room 100% and use a CO2 generator? You can't even use the cool temps of the nights in that system.. as you better insolate that chamber to not have the AC go berserk during day time. Cooking climate in a single room is no easy task.. in most cases venting is easier to get rid of excess humidity. If the AC keep the temp more or less stable within the day / night cycles, yes, that can work.. but is no cheap system to run. Log your humidity and check how it behaves when you watered your plants and it switches to nigh cycle.. if your AC can compensate that.. yes, should work.. otherwise, closed room.. mold will call in a rave ^^ I made my biggest step towards better weed with gaining control over my lights.. and before I would think into a CO2 generator, my grow flat will have perfect climate control.. and I mean 1 degree fluctuation during flower max. With the South African wall constructions, at least where i live.. I might have to build something proper insolated to get that goal going without building my own private Koeberg Power station But as said before.. if @SoloKush is on a mission.. then follow the path you see in front of you trying new stuff takes the boredom out of the routine of growing. Just treat that gas with the needed respect. Rest, enjoy the trip ^^

Check that your temps not going over 30 in any case.. 26 is the last bit of the sweet spot. Na, can't be the autopot res.. the plant would show deficiency on all buds and leaves.. not just the endings. MORE air ^^ if your LED are able to do that, do yourself a favor and add another fan. Baking your buds ruins the flavors 100%.. keep em cool, then distance is not your issue as fast. If your LED gets just hot, add a cooling fan to it.. worth it I wouldn't trim, that is just damage that will stay. you get it off easy with a trim brush when you dress the buds

If you want to up your game in regards to terpenes and potency, get a quantum flux meter.. would do that before doing anything with CO2

Bit of a leafy bitch

You use 320 watt on a 3mx2.2m space? mhhhh how many micromol PAR you get on those heads? If you don't reach over 1200, the additional CO2 will have no effect at all. You will waste your money for zero effect. CO2 is the building block plants use to get their carbon from.. carbon based life form ^^.. If the plant gets a lot of light, the CO2 concentration will limit her grow speed. When you add CO2 in a artificial environment and add the light strength, you get more plant faster. The reason to use a CO2 generator system.. but that is more for the medical producers. Setting up a CO2 system needs more light as you had before or you had massively more light as needed (I personally do not think that your 320watt can produce the mmol to justify a CO2 generator). Adding the additional light will cause your ventilation and AC to most likely need an upgrade. Running 1300 watt light.. I use on a 1.2m x 3.6m area.. would have to go in the range of 2500-3000 watt light to make a CO2 generator reasonable.. getting rid of that heat.. I get gray hair right away hehehe AC costs to run will increase drastically. As said.. have fun and give it a try.. if you run a grow in a second tent with no CO2, you can measure how much money you blow for how much more yield.. and if you get to hot, you ruin your taste, so balancing the new CO2 system will take a few grows to dial in again.

from the location and the other leaves are looking fine.. how far is your lamp from those buds? I would say heat stress...

CT not garden route, or? ^^ But.. driving to Plett to hand in the weed.. is a bit of a long drive I would courier it thou hehehe as I lab test the Gelato hunt anyhow.. could send some tasty samples Bring your 15 Grams of cured flower which you would like to submit for entry, to The CannaClub Club House during this time.

I take 20% loss.. over 20% i tell the seed bank and till now, Nivana or Fastbuds, my only complains, replaced without any argument.

contact them and tell them.. they will replace the seeds.. or a good seed bank does

Look at the big picture... the WHO has a say... and now there is little reason NOT to legalize cannabis in SA. Law not done, lets hope our law makers act according to the vibe of the time and not just to that criminalizing draft... with my pheno hunt... the draft would give me 15 years in prison... even the 1.2x1.2 with all the possible mothers, only 2 plants survive, rest goes compost heap... the draft not counting breeding and hunting at all. Perhaps i am a optimistic fool.. i hope it gets legalized in SA

I also want to add.. I changed my inliners from the cheap shit ones.. to silent TD 500. Was a bit investment BUT.. to my surprise, my energy consumption dropped A LOT! The 4 6 inchers I had before used 630 Watts on the plug once spooled up. The 4 TD-500 draw 174 Watts.. that is a word for 24/7 running gear. I have them running only on medium, but that is just a nick less air moved compared to the old ones. My humidity control is still very good.. I just use 450 watts less electricity A TS3000 running for free. Yes, the TD-500 set me back 12k.. but that should be back in the wallet within a year. Eskom also announced a price hike 1 April, we go 16% up I started to order some solar panels ^^ will convert as much as I can. Not sure why I pay for electricity and have load shedding for years and years.

If you do not run a lab like environment, I honestly wouldn't go that way. Will take you a bit to have all balanced and then you live with the cost.. as long as you do not want to break high yield records, I would stay away from CO2 additives, your cost go up (you need more light, more power, more cooling). If you go on out of curiosity.. nothing against, you only learn from trying.. just one very important rule: When ever you are in your grow room and you only start to feel a little dizzy, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! CO2 can kill you faster as you think. Sensors can fail..

Pics from 21 Feb Indoor The fast growers nearly made it to the top ^^ 1 hour till dark Outdoor starts to lean side ways ^^ I started to flush the outdoor Gelato going more Indica. Give the sativa leaning a week more.

I work with BioBizz
