First time co2 Afghani/OG/Black Domino

unity · #1 05-24-2008, 08:37 AM

Hi guys, wanted to share my current grow with you

I had to break off my last grow due to hemie issues from femed seeds. I learned my lesson let's say.

So I made some changes to my grow room, I added co2, I created a sealed environment, I added a 30 gallon res along with a res chiller. Needless to say I was not very thrilled about the $ that I had to spend, but I was dealing with res. temps exceeding 80 degrees. I do not mind temps up to 90 degrees in my grow space, I should be fine with the addition of co2 (I hope).

I also decided to give most of my additives the big middle finger and trust people like Lucas. That is soo hard for me, but I have to know how much of these additives are bull, I suspect most.
So, Im down to 1300 ppm sensi a+b / 4ml bud xl / 15ml sweet and for now some root excelerator (for res change stress). For my next grow I will try only Sensi A+B with some flower enhancers. If you have experience with nutes only grows please let me know how this is working out for you.

I'm on day 12 flower (1x Black Domino clone, 1x OG clone, 3x Afghani seed)
1600 ppm (.7 conv.)
Res temp 67 degrees
No AC in grow space but temps are between 78 and 90 (heat wave only) during lights on, I think that is ok.

If anybody has experience with this type of grow be so kind and share your experiences with me

Thanks for stopping by guys, don't be shy and help me prevent fuck ups,lol

Looking good. Aside from the hydro we are pretty close with the set-ups.

Good luck.

Hi Picasso, thanks for stopping by!
Do you use co2? Would it mainly show in how tight the buds are?
I'm noticing that the buds are stacking tighter and the plants are looking very healthy.

This is my first time with the CO2. That's my understanding though. Denser bigger buds.

Day 14 flower with 1500ppm co2

18 days flower update:

res temp 67
1200 ppm sensi bloom
200 ppm Sweet
100ppm bud xl
.7 conversion
drip clean
ph 5.45
total ppm 1600

I did a complete res change yesterday due to some drastic ph dropping issues that I isolated to algae growing in my feed lines. Ph is stable now

God I must be learning,lol. My feed is now driven by a resurculation pump and a drip manifold.

Let me know if I'm missing something

I changed a couple of things

I isolated the res (roots are not hanging in res anymore, see pics)

Looking good! I have one plant about up to yours, but the other two are nowhere near this far along.

22 days flower update:

Taped my re-circulation tubes black to prevent algae growth
PH dropping a slight bit each day but nothing major
Humidity very high 67% when lights are on ( room sealed)
Got a small Peltier de-humidifier, but it does not work!!!! Don't waist your money!!!
Picking up a 15 pint comfort aire 301 for $40 of craigslist

I'll post if it works next update!

Buds are developing nicly on the 2 clones, the Afghani from seed are a little behind
