they are co2 generating bags. its a live bacteria in a substrate of some kind that eats off the substrate generating co2 as a bi product. it has a vent patch on it. when you get it, its flat as it starts to work and heat up it swells until its like its going to break but it wont. it last 6 months and generates around 800 ppm million in my tent with two bags. i am switching to co2 tanks when its more convienient, and i have the money, those being the same time,haha. thanks for checkin it out. they make those bags in missoula mt. and i get them at 509 grow in spokane.washington.

the plants are looking good and healthy, they may be stretching a bit for the light but its early in flowering and the buds will naturally start to grow up, and the foliage out. they may be stretching up from the heat make sure to check the temps right over the canopy. i had a lot of problems with temps in small spaces. if temps are good get the lights as close as you can without raising the temp to high.

yeah the temps in the room are a consistant 75, so idk if thats an issue. Is it in the last 2 weeks that the plant really starts to bud and grow?

if you are refering to lowryder 2 yes. there are a lot of changes in the last two weeks, also plan on a week or two extra. what i mean by that is dont just chop them at 8 weeks, wait until they are fully ripe judging by the pistils. on lowryder 2 most of them have turned red or amber orange when its ready. "if you think its ready,wait a week" good growing to you.

lowryder hairs finish a cool burnt sienna bright oranger very pretty.and as a side project running these in subcools super cool soil mix, the plants arent as big,or with as much branching, but the flavor color and size of those buds are usually very good.growing in soil is a little more relaxing as a side project.

Hey everyone, happy turkey day! i had some time to take photos this morning. we ARE SO CLOSE TO HARVEST! 3 more days of light and then lights out for 3 days really let the trichs build up. I will be doing a harvest and curing report on this same thread. see you then:leaf:

no i cut a bud to see but it was early. not a big deal the rest of the plant is doing great and all of them are budding out really good this week, lots of red hairs, not quite 75% yet so im gonna give it e few days more of light. plus the last couple days before harvest i dont water at all to let as much water out of the plant as possible. plus what happens during the day is the trichs are broken down by the heast of your lights, its natural sunscreen for them. so by shutting the lights off for like 2-3 days before harvest the plant will continue building up trichs but wont lose any to the heat from your lamp. its a good technique.

thank you. i wouldnt have been able to do it with out info from everyone ay riu. as soon as i can get the buds in the curing jars, and my new equipment i am starting over. i use my tent as my dryer using my a/c. the buds i chopped and dryed a week ago are blowing us away, so with an extra week to ripen and a longer cure time. we should be flyin haha. later on ddm, you still dealing with the s/m?:wall: if so that sucks.

neem oil is safe but i would not use azamax past flowering. i see lots of product names a day, so i might be wrong,it may be a different product.

I acquired a tent, an inline air conditioner, and probably my best improvement Dutch Passion's line of 3 part nutes, and there late bloom booster the heavies. the pics are a bit out of order but the new air conditioner was $35 at goodwill and works like a charm. the picture show my 400 watt E-wing digital lumatek, my masons tray from home depot flood tray($11 and super sturdy) and the nifty little compost co2 generating bags made in missoula montana(pros:$25 lasts six months, cons: easily ripped and cannot be stored for later use)with 3 weeks left theres nothing to do but wait. i will be flushing after the final week with florokleen. up next( and in better order,haha) i will put pictures up of the haarvest drying, and ultimate smokage!!!:leaf:peace out till we meet again:leaf:
Someone watched the 1990's I grow Chronic, with Mr. Green? haha
