Im extremely familiar with the yeast Co2 method. I was just curious to know if those were a pure CO2 but I like that idea of adding the tubing. Very smart.

This sound like a very good start. This is very similar to my set-up. I am currently using one 70w hps but I will soon be upgrading to 2. Keep up the good work. Good Luck. I will be watching this one.

Thanks.

Titleistbudz - You mean, is it producing any other gas's besides CO2? If so I'm not real sure. I thought about that but others were using it for growing so I figured it would be alright. Since you are familiar with the Yeast CO2 method, have you seen much improvement over NOT Using it Vs. Using it?

KushMaster85 - Your grow looks awesome! I was searching for others with spaces about this size so I am glad you stopped by! I will be watching yours also, very curious to see how much you get. I started with 1 70w for about a week until I seen heat was not an issue, then I got another.. then the CFL's were added. Heat has not been a problem at all, actually it gets too cool in there sometimes. You could probably up the watter to either two 150w or a 250w with decent ventilation and be fine. I sort of wish I would have gone that route before I spent the money on the 70 watters but I was worried about the small space and the heat. Either way your doing a hell of a job, I'm jealous, keep up the good work man.

On to my Air pump Problem. My high ass forgot to put the little water stopper in the Air line to prevent water from running down your tube when you power off your cab or whatever. Well, it must have ran down the tube or something when I had it off. I woke up this morning and the pump wasn't putting any bubbles out. Sucked, so I hooked a small little spare up on one of the lines to hold me over until I got back later today. I bought a 60 gallon Whisper air pump (I think like $17 bucks and the Pet store) and a couple Flexible air tubes that disperse the air bubbles evenly. Those piece of shit 12" Air stones from Wally-World blow. They are so light and hard to keep down and they don't put out nearly as much good big clean bubbles as these two Flex Air Tubes do. IMO, glad I spent the $12 bucks on both the tubes.
I added 1 Gallon of clean water to my Res tank also. I noticed small Nute burns on the tips so the Gallon of Fresh Water should help that. I can't wait for my PPM Meter to get here so I can get this all measured out perfectly. I will do the Res change Probably at the end of the week unless my plants still show signs of Nute burn. I`ll add more pictures tomorrow.

Teitliest - Oops- just read your post over again... Yea, No not PURE Co2.. I wish... a little too steep for my budget at the moment.

Alright I was thinking and smoking... lol. I was reading through some AeroPonic stuff and started thinking about my ultra sonic Humidifier i bought at Wally. Could you mix up a batch of some Nute's and fill your Humidifier Tank up? Get your Humidity level at 65% filled with Nutes in the air... Has anyone ever tried this and did it help at all?
Another thought on this same subject is... My Humidifier has a 2" "blow hole" and I have already hooked some PVC up to it just to see... I was able to AIM the mist in any direction by routing the PVC. My thought is in a DWC system or any Hydro system you could Run the PVC pipe from your Humidifier inside your Grow Tub and aim it right at Roots or your pot hanging there.. You could crank up the Humidifier and really saturate the shit out of your roots.. again, wondering if anyone has done this or tried it?

you mentioned the 70 watt hps....are they screwed into regular light sockets...no balast???

Nah. You buy the security lights... its the same light you see above a lot of people's garage's, you can find them at Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, Ace... just about any hardware store sells them. They also sell them in Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor. If you look in the pics, the top electrical drawer, the two white circles you see are the "ballasts". I just cut two circular shaped holes (about 4 inches wider than the area the bulb would occupy) through the top shelf so the bulbs stick through, Keeping the heat up top. They usually sell them in 70w and 150w. I think Home Depot sells the 50watter in HPS. The 70w ran me about $50 each at Lowes.. the 150w was $100 at Lowes but too big to fit two in my setup.

nice little stealth grow....since i been reading this forum I keep looking at things in my place thinkin....yea i could fit a couple plants in there...yep, i could fit one in there...like a kid in a candy store

Thanks, I`ll post some more pictures of the plants tonight. lol, I hear you bout the candy shop thing, as soon as I started this dresser I spotted my little night stand I was thinking about turning into a Veg Cab and leave the dresser for flowering. I feel like I am obsessed with this shit now, I just want to keep adding and adding... Just hope to get some fresh quality smoke in the end and still be able to have people over without any apparent op going down.

VEG - DAY 12

Personally, I like looking at pictures, progress pictures. So bare with me but I will probably post pics a few days apart throughout the journal.

Here are a few pics of the plants today.




A few a little closer up...




Here is what I THINK is the start of Nute burn. After I noticed this, I added 1 Gal Fresh R/O water to the Res and brought water level back bottom of pots. All new Growth seems to be perfectly fine with no signs of burn anywhere else. In the pic you can see the TIPS on the bottom and jagged's a little yellow/brownish. Barely anything at all.


Like I said, first time I have really done a grow, first time I have ever attempted hydro. I think the roots are amazing. Here are a couple pictures of the Roots in 5 1/2" dia. pots after 12 Days of Veg and soil-to-hydro transplant around day 3. Amazing at how small the plant is yet the roots are so long.



And to finish this post up, here are a couple of random pics I took while I was taking the others.
The first pic is the bubbles inside my res tank. The 2" Dia. PVC elbow is in there to keep my Air lines weighted down and in the position I have them.
The Second pic is when I had the Res Tank/Plants out for a minutes with a drawer popped off. You can see the "Misty" Humid air floating out. Try to keep it around 60% but sometimes it drops as low as 40%. It really depends on how warm my room is. The hotter my room is, The higher I can crank up the Humidifier without condensation build-up. It also helps regulate Temp quite a bit. The cooler it is, the less power I give the Humidifier. This makes the Temp's raise but cuts back on Humidity. With the Humidifier alone - I can make my temps Vary I would say 5-10 degrees.



Anyone has anything to say, Say it.
