I never was able to get big yields until I brought my temps down low 90s is up there , learned through the years cannabis in the flower stage like 75 to 80 degrees, co2 without proper lighting and air flow it wont help much that's my experience, but when u find the right combination its golden.

Hi.. in what space did you achieve 1 lb plant on nft?? And did you do 1 plant on reservoir? That's a crazy achievement.. I'm fan of nft to and want to know how you do that
I was gonna say something similar.
( I don't recommend this )
I’ve ran the Co2 tank with the meter in a 12’x16’ portable building. I still had to service the girls like you said a little giddy when you come out of the building. My copd doesn’t help either . My 750 watt led I believe wasn’t enough but the 1000 watt hps had the closest nodes and stacking with Co2. Enjoyed the write upI'm uber late to this conversation but over 90f is too hot, if thats the ambient temp in the tent overall, thats also the root temp, meaning that if the pots are watered the oxygen in the water is barely there and dispersed quickly. Also potentially too hot for ideal and fast growth... canopy, maybe.. root area.. nope.
Ppm is not an area,mit is a relative measurement.
E.g 1500 ppm ( part per million ) in an environment is 1500 ppm in the given environment
If you had a 1ft/3 area separated by a wall and 1 side had 1500 ppm and the other 0 ppm, pulling the divider would yeild 750 ppm since the total volume has doubled while the amount of gas has remained constant.
1500 ppm is 1500 ppm in a room weather you measure 8 the room or in a not air tight tent in the room, at 1500 ppm you better make sure your plants are breathing enough of this and supplYing enough oxygen after , in a basement younmay also experienc furnace and hot water tank issues if the co2 ppm is too high ( im seriously not joking here, a grow room IN a mechanical room was a call I responded too once.. using co2 commercial tank.. the call was a 3 am no heat cal, )
If you want simple, pretty much free co2 that will not kill you ( also could kill roots since its heavy and they breathe air ) then
1x 4liter milk jug
1x 2liter bottle
3 cups sugar into 4 liter jug
1 tablespoon yeast
2 liters hot water
Shake it..
Drill 1 hole into the cap of this jug
Dril, 2holes into the cap of the 2 liter bottle
Run a tube from the cap of the 4 liter into the bottom of the 2 liter. hot glue them in place ( you want air tight )
Run a tube from the top of the 2 liter bottle to the back grill of a fan ( again hot glue tubing through cap )
Fill 2 liter bottle with plain water
Shake 4 liter jug.. co2 wil, be produced in a few hours, you will see the water 8 the 2nd bottle (/the 2 liter ) bubble as it works..shake this up once a day, replace it after a week
1100 ppm co2 in my tent ( 4x4 ) with 2 of these . Total cost is about $4 a week at most.. sugar is cheap. So is yeast.
See attached photo
Plus if the world ends you can drink the jail brew in the 4liter
If you do use a tank style co2 tank i HIGHLY recommend you get a decent oxygen meter with an alarm. When i did that no heat call my saturation meter started screaming when I was going down the stairs, meaning that if I were to lay on the floor In the basement, I likely would not have gotten up ever. It displaces air, which in large volumes is the same as drowning.. you also get giddy from lack of oxygen, pretty dangerous.. the bottle method is near impossible to overngas from.. ifmits any considerable concentration you will smell the fermentation first
Worth noting that proper use of co2 in proper conditions can and has increased yeilds by near 50% in some cases, usually by people who have everythingnd8aled i though
if you don't have air tight room and temps co2 is hard to implement - that's why I done use co2 -- some body on aute wil help you - remember you need 1500ppm's
interesting !! never considered that - alway thought that 1500 ppm was the"magic: number. one can get simmular results using the PVD ? method (forget the name of - The Swamp Boy's swear by this method it's Pressure something smoething. will get the correct name of
Yea, me too.
Thanks for sharing your research I have 880 psi left . Do you run co2 just in veg ?
No, we run it throughout, sometimes it gets turned off during a turn but, usually it just runs.
I always quit once I hit flower , I’ll run it through the whole grow . I have the controller that comes on with the light sensor and goes off at dark . I need to see if I can cut the sensor off have plenty timers to adjust. Like hearing I can cut the ppm in half I always ran 1475 as not to go over .
i haven't heard anything about their co2 need going down during flower.
Most definitely will let you know . Good thing is I don’t have to pay for co2 we all grow and smoke together. I’m still growing out mother plants but it looks like purple punch and alcapulco gold will the first up to make clones . I’ll continuously make post throughout the grow and thanks again .
never though tof hooking my fan like you ---use ties - how simple !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm uber late to this conversation but over 90f is too hot, if thats the ambient temp in the tent overall, thats also the root temp, meaning that if the pots are watered the oxygen in the water is barely there and dispersed quickly.

thought that 1500 ppm was necessary ? 800 ppm is great !!
