Colombian Gold In Hydro By Gwhunran

Sounds great. I checked one place, a welding supply company closest to me. They're quite proud of their tanks They are asking more than $250 for a twenty pound tank and $80 something to swap them out. They don't refill.
I'll check the bottling/beverage folks before I buy one.

Amazon just checked the one I gave $89 for is $150 now . I got the aluminum extra lite . I bet you could run it online and find one close .

Thanks West,
I just went on Amazon and ordered a 20lb bottle. With shipping it ran $180 something. No free shipping on these things. Still better than $250+ I now have to find a place to fill it. There looks to be a few places locally but they are all closed until Monday now.

Thanks Scott. They are looking really good to me too. I like the height they ended up above the 2nd screen. Enough for good support and bud separation. They are increasing greatly in odor production too.

I really love when they start representing that terpene profile hard!! The beautiful stench!! Haha It's great on one hand but if you're worried about smells now that's different. Better fire up the filters right!? You're smashing it Growmie!!

Not really worried. It would be very unlikely that anyone other than me would get a whiff of the grow. The odor is just increasing, and can be smelled from farther and farther away from it's source. If there were any foot traffic in the area I would be real concerned. I have a nice carbon filter that I mostly used when things weren't legal, and after the change in laws, i disconnected it. It was mainly used when I was running sealed HID lights and pushed or pulled air through the lights. I've still got all that HID gear, some still new in the box. I tend to get spares of things over time.

Colombian Gold
Day 52 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling steadily.

Working on keeping the PH a little higher. Trying for 6.5 instead of 5.8-6.2.

Flowers are fattening up nicely.

Looking fantastic in here, really pretty grow.

I now have to find a place to fill it. There looks to be a few places locally but they are all closed until Monday now.

Don't forget to look at fire suppression places. When I was filling co2 tanks for kegging I found a little fire shop in Richmond that filled a 20lb tank for $10!

I will be on the phone later trying to find the best place to fill the CO2 tank. Won't be using it till after winter, so I have some time.

Day 53 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.
The CO2 bucket is still bubbling acceptably.

The plants are flowering in high gear now. The degree of trichomes saturating the flowers has just increased noticeably. The smell has also jumped up another notch. Potentially some very fine bud indeed.

Hey Growmie.... I saw someone mention Cobs to you earlier in one of your threads and you weren't familiar with it. Here's the name of the thread to check.Really does make for a killer cure!!

I have been following the thread for a little while and have read a few dozen pages in the beginning. I made it with an outdoor Fuel D.OG and I think it was too dry when I started. Mixed results. It's been curing about a month.
I will make it with some of the lower bud from the Golden Tiger, it'll be damp this time around. I've got all the stuff to make it.

Lovely work!!

They've been pretty easy. Just watching em fill out now.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling steadily, if not a little slower.

The flowers continue to build.

Those buds are looking incredible. I'm starting to see my leaves want to do the same thing as yours, right after the pH bombed to 4.8 So far mine is only a couple of leaves and the pH is back up around 6.0 and stable now. I just think they are sucking up the P/K right now, dropping the pH. Do you think your leaves are still getting worse?

 

[West Hippie]

Picture perfect grow , I haven't seen anyone in awhile post a full grow in the photo contest you ought to try it !

They are really triching up hard now and there's still lots of time till harvest.

I think the leaves are still showing increasing damage, but i believe I've taken the appropriate action to fix it. Just not enough time for recovery. I probably had the PH hovering just below 6.0 most of the grow, maybe hindering Calcium uptake on this strain. It's supposed to take a long time to start showing up, so it's been going on for a long time, just not showing much until lately.

Thanks West.
I'll try the overhead of the whole screen this time. I'll try to wait, until the last day, so they'll be as big as possible.
The last day to enter is the 14th, right?

I did some checking around about CO2 yesterday and found a place not too far from the house that will fill my soon to be delivered 20lb tank. The only problem is, they only fill CO2 tanks every couple of weeks so I'll have to drop it off.
They guy I talked to, suggested getting a 5lb tank to run while the 20lb is in for fill, since they're cheaper than buying a 2nd 20lb.

 

[Absorber]

Looking good mate

 

[West Hippie]

I went to town yesterday and forgot the package as i was already feelingbad again from not keeping my oxygen on and knew i had to change out the buckets when i got back home but i did put it in the truck this morning to make sure i get it dropped off . Sucks it cost as much for two tanks at the old price .

I find myself being a bit forgetful. I make list and have a routine for most repeating everyday activities.

No hurry, as I won't be running it till after winter. I've watched a few videos on setting up and running CO2 on You Tube. Seems pretty simple. I'll probably have to get some of those gaskets/washers to seal the tank/regulator, controller connections, so I won't be losing gas. They probably sell them where the tank will be filled. I've lost a lot of propane from leaky fittings on our outside propane tank. Luckily the propane company took a lot of responsibility and gave me a large credit. Now I'm pretty conscious of leaking connections.
