DIY Stealth Cab, Hydro, LED & Multiple Strains in Small Space - Oh Boy!

Look At this thing!

CO2 Generators Blackbox & Odor Control Systems, Increase All Green Plants Sizes, up to 35%, Bigger Yields.

Here is a CO2 Flow Rate Calculator from Hydrofarm

Hydrofarm - Co2 Flow Rate Calculator

But I have read tons of threads that say if space has proper/balanced ventilation, unless large commercial grower, that Co2 is not worth the time & effort; heard said you would be better to maintain perfect 75f daytime temps & 65f nighttime temps then CO2 augmentation; but then again sh*tloads of people swear by it. Sorta like to top or fim, pinch or LST, lollipop or not, ect. Seems to run 50/50 right down the line on all of it! I know it's no help but really comes down to what you think. So what do you think K~?

Talk to ya later, Happy Grows ~H~
 
I think a lot of what we hear about certain subjects are people just doing what they normally would do..... and just getting better at it and just happen to throw something else in the mix at that point in time. I could swear a dozen times that my plants reacted to something different/new I used on them, and would probably swear by it but I really dont know if anything happened. However CO2 is probably gonna do some good if you use it at the proper PPM for your space and be using it at the right times. I was tempted to do one of those impulse buys so I could "save it" for when I flower mine out... I dont see why it wouldnt work though, I probably will try one.... I get obsessed when I think a product will actually work so.....it'll be in my journal sooner or later....lol...

Damn krip..... all this time I thought I had your thread subbed..... been reading all these other peoples journals waiting for an email from yours and here you are 10 pages later.... Went back a few pages and everything is looking good.. I did subscribe this time though... so I'll be here with my long period containing.... posts till the end...
 
H, those articles pretty much sum up my feelings on CO2. You need to be able to tightly control ventillation, temps, and PPM levels if you're going to use it effectively. That being said, I'm sure increasing CO2 levels during flower, even with a crappy diy setup, can't hurt although it may not help much, if at all. So, if I had the room, I'd definately do a DIY in flower right now. But, like Rumsfield said, we go to war the army we have, not the army we wish we had! :)

No problem, W. Good to have you back! Glad to hear things are looking up with your grow, too! I knew if you'd give it some time, you'd find some way to make it happen.

Here's to BIG harvests all around! :high-five:
 
Here, here! I second that emotion!!!:goodjob:

I am not as think as you stoned I am!!
 
PIC UPDATE:

Happy weekend everyone. I just finished the res changes on the waterfarms, so it's time for a pic update! :)

I switched to the Generaly Hydro "Agreesive Bloom" formula starting today which is day #15 of flower for the AK and day #13 of flower for the haze. I mixed 20ml of Micro & 40ml of bloom in each waterfarm. No grow formula at all for the first time. I also added 12ml each of Bud Candy and Big Bud plus 4ml of DM Zone. Just a little bit of PH down brought final PH to 5.6 and PPM's to 1360.

First, let's look at the haze. She's doing well, but definately being squeezed for both light and room by the AK. She looks good:

But, look how much room is in the cab with the AK removed!

Because the haze was still fairly thin & scraggly, I LST'd her high colas back down. It reduced her canopy height which won't help her light situation, but perhaps she can fill out a little more and some more light can get to the lower buds.

The AK, on the other hand, is really looking gorgeous. If I had to do it over again, I probably would flower JUST the AK since, if I let her, I'm sure she'd fill the cab with great looking buds all on her own!

Here's what she's looking like today:

And you can see how LITTLE room is left when the Haze is removed from the cab!

Both plants are pumping out the pistils and the smell is starting to get really nice. All of these next shots are closeups of what the AK is doing:

My camera phone battery died, so more pics coming later on the veg side.

Happy Harvests!
 
Your looking mighty fine there K~ & good to see your pushing the nutes a little. :MoreNutes: You will be richly rewarded. Looking forward to the Veg pics. Talk to ya soon, & Happy Grows ~H~
 
:oops: I forgot to put in the group shot:

Thanks H! I'm actually on a house cleaning binge right now & just taking a break so will be a few more hours before I get to the veg side. The girls in veg don't need much attention but I'm probably gonna toss a couple of the AK clones and top the first AK clone. I also want to figure out what to do with that stunted LS*. I'm either gonna top & clone or try transplanting to a larger hempy. I'll decide when I get a closer look at her today.

I have no doubt the AK will love the agressive nutes. Not too sure how the haze will take it, but her roots have come a long way, even since last week. I really am loving the DM Zone! I even mixed a little with the fertilizer I give my garden vegetables! :)

I also saw your updates and will post later in your journal when I get more time, but :goodjob: on your grow. That jungle of yours is looking nice. Can't wait to see how the next couple of weeks develop for you!


Catch ya' later.
 
wow they are really fightin for space,lookin bushy as shit, i cant wait to see when the buds start gettin big and start fillin the whole cab..looks like u have the same amount of space as me, thing is i dont know if i wanna put mines in bigger pots..but overall ur ladies are lookin good, glad to see everything is goin good.... :tokin:

Yes they are! The AK is incredibly bushy. The haze is a little thin, but that's part of her being sativa and part of her being overcrowded by the haze. Again, my original plan was to only flower one plant at a time in that space and grow it out like the AK, but ended up with more plants than I planned and had to clear some space. :tokin:

LOL yeah that AK is a monster and looking nice.:rasta:

Thanks Turttle! Yeah, she's a beast, but I did try to tame her a little more this morning. If she doesn't hermie on me, I think I'll be real pleased with this grow and glad I have a healthy clone of her! :wood:
