first grow soiless mix with OG Kush

Got some thrips i see.
I use azamax twice. once in veg (2weeks) and once in flowering 2weeks.
I Have yet to see a bug since i bought that stuff.
Og kush is a nice strain. Hard to get. So im stuck with the Purple kush.
My advice to you is... Looking in a co2 tank and hooded reflecters. Its going to get really hot in july.
Co2 enables you to run your room a little bit hotter that without.
Fliter>>>>Hooded lights>>>>>Outtake
Put the filter on the ground and run the ducting from it to the double sided hooded reflectors. You then run that as your exhaust.
I got a vid for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zc66668U6I&feature=fvsr

lisen to that song. Its about growing

Dude u need to get air cooled hoods thats why your plants are stretching, I had the same prob, and then got the new hood, and I could put the light way closer so no more stretching.

Hey BC lad. Im visiting your thread as you said your not too far behind me and you have around same size room, light's etc etc. And yes laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Fucking awesome so far mate. I have read the hole thread and see ya have had a few issues. But like me your incontrol again... I had thrips and i will tell you now mate. Get some SPINOSAD and a pack of HOT SHOTS no pest strips from ebay. I use these in my grow area now and they totally eradicated the infestation i had within 3 days. I also think you, like me will be playing a game of TETRIS with your pot's, But its going to be sooooooo worth it. And If you can afford then get a pump, hose and lance for watering. Its so much easier.

Im going to stick with you here pal as i can help you with any difficulties that i had and pass on the information so you dont make the same.

Im totally subbed man.....

Hey Smiley thanks for the input. I'm not going to change reflectors or fans on this one, no more $. But I will be utilizing Co2 for the last 4 weeks of flower, things are going well ~ BCbuddy

UPDATE 12 DAYS FLOWERING:

Hey guys I have flushed them thoroughly because i have not done that properly yet sofar and the medium was so nute/salt locked it was sick. That's why I had all my lower fans dying. I snipped off most of the damage, heavied the pots and they are looking mint. I have been without any signs of pests or powdery mildew for days and have found the right balance (for me) to keep things thriving. I will be adding Co2 for the last month of flowering (excellofiz, cheap) They are stretching out and up and forming beauty buds already. Plants are around 2 feet 2 inches ATM and I will be adding a secondary intake of fresh cool air via 6 inch duct with axial assist due to temps rising outdoors (making my room rise) thx for checking in and heres a couple pic updates gentlemen;

oh and the reason tha you see different lighting in the pics is that your right! I use a balance of hps x mh to duplicate natures spectrum the best that can be done indoors with plants contantly being rotated ~ Ciao fo' now ~ BC Buddy

Just wanted to check in and tell you the plants look great!!! youre about 10 days ahead of me on flower and its soooo awesome to kind of have a flash view of what Im going to get....... hahahahaha thanks for growing the OG +reps if it will let me

Hey Sensai. Yeah man I'm thinking that even with just the excellofizz pucks I plan on using ( $ 120/ month ) I'm get at least a 15 % percent increase in weight Hey so what do ya know about molasses and how/when should I start. I have seen many report on a up to, 30 % increase in harvest weight and.......Daddy Like lol Peace Budds
~ BCbuddy

I hear people start using molasses around 3-4 weeks into Flower and use it all the way about 1 week into a 2 week flush. I also hear c02 pucks are a waste of money and that you should just use that money and buy a proper system especially for the size of your grow. You've done everything right so far why try to short on something as important as c02.

Hey Ptone. Well man I'd love to buy a real co2 setup but I'm ridiculously broke ATM, all I can afford is the pucks, better than nothing I guess... I plan on max use of them by placing the dish in the middle of the room so it pours down over the canopy with my fans evenly distributing the gas evenly over the tops. All I can do right now. Thanks for the molasses info, I will definitely use it. I plan on getting a real (expensive) Co2 setup down the line, just not now.

You can get a decent c02 system for like $150 (Regulator/ Tank / Simple Timer). It's when you buy the c02 monitor to get maximum boost is when it gets really expensive $400-$500.

Yah they are about 500-1000 for the controller. 100-299 for the tank. 500-1000 for the sensor/sniffer 150-250 for the reg.flowmetre and selenoid. thirty dollar fill ups for a 20lbs and 70 dollar fill ups for the 50 pound tank.
Its alot cheaper in the end to buy the co2 generator. Propane is about 10-20 for a fill up. and last way longer.
Bottled co2 is alot safer and easyer to hook up. You will go threw one a week (20lbs) depending if your room is sealed or on how much you use it.
You could buy the bottled co2 and run it on your own cycle with your exhaust. Get cycle timers or minute timers.
For a 10x10 room you should run it for about 10 minutes. let your fan turn off for a hour or so. What ever works with your heat and exhaust.
Cheers

Lookin good

Thanks for the info on Co2 systems. I dont have the cash or the knowledge to do anything major with the gas for now. I think I may try a cheap solution for now and see how things go. I may hang one of those bottle ( yeast, sugar) devices about the canopy as well as the excellofizz puck rig also hung from the ceiling above the canopy. Basically maximizing all the noob-o2 creations made, all I can do, that or nothing.

I'm inclined to agree man, take the money you would use to buy a puck and set it aside every few months. Get this first harvest and off a zip or two and do it up man. Ur money would be better spent imo. But I don't blame ya for playin if u were to go the puck route as for molasses it will come down to preference I water with molasses then feed the next water all the way through the grow. I use molasses during the flush to. So like I said its all preference. I'd use it from week 1 all the way to the flush if nothin else.
