Sounds like a lot eh?... it don’t rain much during the Summers here, that’s why we gotta keep tower sprinklers running most of the time.I could let the grass die, but I like the view when it’s all green.:D I have 12 acres, but I really only finely groom about 7.

I was born and raised in a place where we don't waste water. They have regulations on watering your lawn or washing your car. But, I realize that this is a locale issue. If you have mountains full of snow or it rains and rivers run all the time, I could understand using as much as you see fit.

It was more of a culture shock. It brought back a memory of a story I heard about the county officials harassing a guy for installing 10,000 gallon tank on his 10 acre property because they wanted him to only put a 2500. He had a home and wanted to do a little farming. I think he was able to keep it for fire fighting purposes in the end. But, if he wouldn't of fought back he would be stuck with that 2500.

Enjoyed following the progress of your larger grow and your smaller experimental! I think you're a little out of my neck of the woods, but maybe when I'm around the City I'll run past some of your bud.

Did you end up with any to sell to the people who make concentrate out of it? That's been my jam recently.

Yep!.. we have some products by SoloS Extracts, Sirius Research Labs, and High Class Honey.. not sure where they ended up tho.

If you spend that much water, it will mean that also that amount of water will evaporate through the leaves.
When you're gonna use the CO2, you will have to have a sealed room.
Then you need large dehumidifiers, and they will just suck out as much water out of the air as you will give to your plants.
So then you can reuse the water from the dehumidifier.

When I ran a kind of an ac, I almost stopped using tapwater.
It was the same water over and over again.

Why tho? I mean it's practically free water.. I use as much as I want.

We had drilled a well about 5 years ago. We sit on top of an underground aquifer. We hit water at 70 ft. and drilled down to the bottom of the auqifer at 220 ft. We set the pump about 30 ft off the bottom. This aquifer is hundreds of miles wide, and that deep. The company that drilled it said that we could run this 24/7 and our grandkids grandkids would never run out of water. This aquifer is fed from the Rocky Mountains in CO, and takes about 7 years to get here, but its a continual cycle. So, I don't feel bad about using all I can. We did the math on what it costs to pump out 16,000 or so gallons, and it's about $4.

Starting week 7.. and all is well. I figured out that I had a K toxicity, and after flushing, they look a lot better, and are drinking better at 72 hours or so in the 7 gallon pots. The old growth is not going to come around, but that's what happens when you make a mistake. Back on track tho. Starting to back off the temps and CO2 to 79 degrees and 900 ppm CO2, and 47% RH.Screen Shot 2020-08-01 at 12.20.24 AM.png

I’m on my second legal grow here in co and I’m running led as well chilled x6 I was going to get those hlg’s badass results I’m still learning everyday always good to soak up some game experience is best teacher but soaking up knowledge and applying u can bridge the gap sooner either way where blessed to be able to grow legally is how I feel no more looking over shoulder being sketched out but I will say that was fun in my younger years bongsmilie what did u find your optimal temp and humidity to be in veg then in flower I try to keep my vpd on point as much as possible I run 86 temp leaf temp around 84.5 and humidity 65 I’m switching to flower toma and I really hope all goes well is thier an validity to this leave light of for 24 hoursbefore switching to 12/12 or not worth it?

I try to follow VPD as much as possible during veg. You gotta venture off of that as you get further and further into flower. Those RH readings are just too high for mid to late flower. You run a risk of mold and PM. Since we just started using CO2, we have kept the room at 86 until week 7 (now), and Im starting to back off the PPM of CO2 and dropping the temps every few days. to mimic Fall. Prob crash the temps during mid week 8. As far as the flip?.. I really dont think it matters if you leave the light off for 24 hours or not. I just pick my day and flip the timer.

Thanks man and I’m doing same minus co2 machine using exhale just in a 4x4 what the hell yeah 86 room temp seams to be perfect for mine as well and lights off I stay at like 57 humidity but even that scares me but I try to follow vpd like life depends on it just want plants to be happy and produce

Damn I didn’t expect to find a better thread than Renfros 40 pounder but these might be the best 23 pages on RIU. Pumped for round 5.

A while back I saw a guy on here comment that OK was the place to be right now for growing commercially. Is that true and what is the reason for being so?

:) Well, Renfro has got about 28 years more experience than me, and I’ve def learned a lot from him. If it weren’t for him, I’d be in some bad shape. Very smart grower!.. As far Oklahoma?... if you got in early, like 2018, you were golden. But there are so many growers now that if you don’t have a brand established, it’s gonna be tough. We’re seeing places close up due to the saturation.

Oh yeah not a slight against him by any means, he’s helped me out a few times. I’ve just never seen a grow this pretty. So were you already based in OK or did you move there to get in on the medical? And this is going to sound stupid, but I kept thinking about a tornado coming and leveling that beautiful room lol. I know they are pretty rampant out there

Common misconception. I've lived in OK all my life except a stint in the Marines, and I've never been personally impacted by a tornado. It does happen and it is more common than it is in other parts of the country, but it's still exceedingly rare that they do much damage to people's stuff.

I was born and raised here in Oklahoma, except for a few years overseas in the Middle East to go to private school, then back here in 1985. Tornadoes are pretty common, and we see 300+ per season, but the odds of getting leveled are pretty slim. The city of Moore unfortunately got leveled 3 times in like 10 years.... like down to the foundation leveled. Shit strung out for miles. But for the most part, if an Oklahoman hears of one in the area, they tend to drive to the location to get pics. LOL. ... and I appreciate you following along!.. we're all learning new stuff as we add new equipment, CO2, etc... I just found out yesterday that I need to upgrade my 2 ton AC unit to a 4 ton after I sealed the room up. Gonna get that done after we clear this room.
