Sup gang! Any of you boys got any co2 equipment you wana get rid of?? I need um by this week and new looks like about $1000. Co2 regulator $150 tank deposet $150 co2 $40 co2 monitor/controller $600. Or if can borrow for about 2 moths. Maybe green hands of aloha will consign till I harvest wink wink. Just joke.
A puna what's your humidity like around your area? Mines stays between 72-85% and any thing I put out side molds or bud rots in the last weeks.

Just keep in mind that 70% of your plant is water. So what you see now, will be 70% smaller upon harvest. So make sure you wait till the proper time to cut your girls. Wait, and your buds will swell s lot right before harvest.lol you're right. it'll be hard but i've got to force myself not to do that and let them finish completelycan you blame me tho? its my first grow and i'm losing my virginity to these bitchez.....i've just been using botanicare pro bloom soil.
Wow, stranger from a strange land...wassup? How's life in Wahiawa these days? I'm curious have the "Microdots" invaded central Oahu yet? They have migrated in full force here on BI. But Hawaiians are pushing back here big time! Anyway, back to subject at hand.
Dude, if your humidity is constantly hitting 72 to 85% ,you got big problems on your hands. Is that both inside, and out? That high humidity shouldn't exceed 62 to 65% while in flower stage. If this is your ambient temp/humidity situation on a regular basis, I pray your only renting in Wahiawa? You need to get outta that area fast!
A couple of things about indoor growing. Unless your gonna do a commerical size opertion for profit. I'd stay away from it, especially if yor trying to be an organic farmer! Why? Two reasons stick out. Indoor lights makes your grow automatically non-organic. Throw in the Co-2, and now you contribute to "green house gases" big time! Plus you know CO2 really does work good until your room is about 82 to 84 degrees. But your room hits 85 degrees, and your plants come to a screeching halt in growth. All kinds of variables for indoor growing. Plus, unless you got upwards in the 10 grand into your rooms equipment wise, 'you're gonna be dead in the water',problems, one after another.
If you're in an extremely humid zone in Wahiawa. Go get your self a dehumidifier from Sears. If there is one things I have learned from really good indoor growers, that is they all take summer off. To many problems come with trying to grow indoors during summer monthes. Indoor growers go on vacation in the summer monthes. Tweak your room and get it ready for winter, fuck the summer indoor room. Especially if you cannot get control of ambient weather in it.
With humidity problems, outdoors, or indoor what you need to do religiously, and that is to start using 'Serenade", on plants weekly. Spray them till Serenade just runs off leaves. If you do this weekly, I promise you no more bud rot, or mold, and Powdery Mildew too. But you must start this process on all plant in Keiki stage, and spray weekly!
A lot of indoor problems can be controlled by avoiding 1000 watt setups which run extremely hot. Europe using only 400 & 600 watts and get beautiful buds.
I'm moving up to Buddy's property this week. I expect super results up there . Temp is about 10 degrees cooler than where I am ,Oceanside. So I super excited!

Yeah puna I heard the bad news but you know what it could be a blessing in disguise. As for me I run my 1000k watt light during the day cuz I'm cocky like that and my temps have never exceeded 76 during the hottest day. I'm a outdoor grower by hart and wouldn't accept anything less then 1000k I have a Quantum adjustable Ballest where I can run 500 watt 750watt or the full 1k. Paired with a hydro farm air cooled hood and a red diamond bulb from bad ass bulbs aka advance nutrients. I have a window ac that's 10 times the recommended for my square footage. Also have a dehumidifier which is tied to a sentinel temp/RH controller along with the ac. 6" vortex on a carbon filter which runs threw the hood then out the room, till I get my co2 set up. You gotta see my set up every thing is over kill so nothing stresses. Rooms powered on two 120/20amp breakers. I keep the temps at 73-75 day time and 68-70 night time with humidity at 45%.
I was asking humidity because I have a huge front and back yard but buds love to rot about week 8 flowering and here I thought I wuld have a huge patch in da back yard. Damit! I just put a utopia haze out side. We will see how a heavy sativa does.

What I do is during veg I grow it to a foot then I top it. Then I leave it in veg at least a week longer in order to let that grow. Then I put it outside to flower, all those tops take the yield and spread it accross. This way the tops and buds are smaller, but there are more of them, and less chance of mold without giving up yield.
Thats what I do and so far its worked to ensure my medicine is available.
Edit: Also I veg under 24h light with 1000w to ensure focus on side growth as opposed to just giant mold-inviting tops.
slap me on the back of the head if I'm wrong. But isn't Mylar and rooms painted flat white done for that purpose? Keep lights on 24/7 on anything other than cutting & clones is like asking for for your crop to turn male or hermie. Another words, it's unatural my friend,and even where lights are on 24/7 like in Alaska....what fucking grows there...snow? No, i'd seriously consider what you're doing brah. Plus if you're gonna say to me so far no problems. Imagine what your plants would look like if they got to rest?

LOL you are preaching to the choir
Tardis doesn't listen to advice... he would rather research and find his own facts than listen to others that have been down the road before him....
If you recall a while back he was advocating Subcool seeds and how they were designed to be mold resistant and bud-rot proof...
then many months later he is complaining how his subcool strains were experiencing mold and budrot....
subsequently lashing out at this forum about how everyone here is selling for profit.....
Once again he is telling us like it is instead of asking many of the folks in here that grow indoors with great results.....
If you have your lights on 24 hours, then there is a significant amount of respiration not taking place.... When the lights turn off, it tells the plant to stop the photosynthesis and to start using the excess oxygen in its system to start converting the sugars into energy. so in the meantime, without that dark period.....

@Surfd... Here is the Bubba I had promised to show you earlier... 1st pic is the Bubba (on left) next to the Ape Dawg (right)...
Same age... You can see the stretch from the Chem in the Ape Dawg... You will see that same stretch in the Cali Connect Pre98 Bubba due to the sativa characteristics....
Final 2 pics are the Katsu Bubba close up

Thanks for the pics Sheck! So you like the Katsu better than pre-98 bubba? My GDoggyPurps didn't stretch at all but smell real chemmy.....The Stardawg should be coming down soon, looks wonderful and making f2s also from Tre's Sister(TresdawgxChem Sis) from JJ. Got some more goodies coming from Logic and camping for the next Raskal/Top Dawg drop...

We will need to get together and sample the fine herbs :~
I stashed a sweet nug of the Og Fire..
I'll have some Ape Dawg and some Bubba that's going through a nice cure...

i just put the room together and it still not 100% i gotta mylar the walls and paint the ply wood that the electricals are mounted to. this is my first run in this room as of now i run my ballast at 500 watts then after 3 weeks i will switch it to 750 watts for 2 weeks then the last 3-4 will be full power at 1000 watts. my square footage is only 21 ft. my original plans were suposed to be 100 sqft but my Gf shut me down on that. she flipped out when she seen the starters getting bigger

there is no way that you will get large plants in short season unless you veg them indoors. i personally have had the molokai frost for at least 8 years without having it hermy on me indoors. you are right tardis, don't think not. what causes the mold is mostly strain specific first, then environmental...unless your enviroment sucks to begin with, then you are doomed. i disagree with the notion that indoor vegged stuff turn hermy. strain determines that first, then environmental factors. to me anyway. aloha
