New Moon Over Guawi: A High Brix Journey

[overlord]

CO2 will work with a 400 watt light, but when you get into the modern high end cobs and leds your plant may suddenly require more CO2.

Shiggityflip had this problem on his last journal and had to supplement with CO2 to correct his plants, he was using the QB boards. Don't know how that or his SIP's ended as he never finished the journal.

This is all interesting stuff. Wondering if gazoo usually leaves the tent door open and would he need to close it to prevent the co2 from escaping into the room...

Good point, unless he doesn't mind refilling his tanks all the time.
I would suggest reading up on VPD and CO2 as well.

Damn you gazoo! I opened CL and clicked on farm+garden and guess I'm getting a zebra now.... I didn't even know that was an option

i do leave the tent open but its in a closed room.
open tent on a CO2 timer and drip should work.

CO2 is NOT
real expensive for refills I have found a place to re-fill
at 17.00 for a 20lb tank but have read welding shops may
be able to do it cheaper ALSO read I should be able to set
levels but will need a CO2 METER Ebay has cheapo s for 9.59
so will need to pick that up as well

 

[overlord]

That is about half what it cost me to fill my 20lb tank, what kind of business offered it at that rate?

Zebra ?

I can get seeds on CL as well

CL

EDIT: I guess thats a good deal I was thinking I could find it cheaper since I fount that price
very fast

Yes, you have to MAX out Light before the CO2 will be effective

Ambient temp must also be above 85F to be fully effective.

Thanks appreciate the heads-up

Still reading up on it and have found a LOT of disagreement on best Environment
Have read 81 + will work, less light will work, wont work with flower, will work with flower,
so I think it needs to be adjusted to each environmental situation for best results.

Looks to be right up my ally since it does seem to be adjustable to the users environment
and situations,

I can make it work .

 

[AtmozFear]

You are absolutely right on track... "improvise" is the name of the game. Don't follow instructions too rigidly. Tailor to your own situation.

I like your style. Buy first, ask questions later.

Been lucky so far, have put most of my impulse buys to good use

its like, I'm looking, see something cheap and think well if they take half
of that already low price Ill do it.
I can always sell if its not going to work

EDIT: Was actually looking for the RO Water unit, Water Store Raised the Price so

 

[Gazoo]

I saw those soil meters you have when I was searching for the controller on my cobatron.
How are they working, fairly accurate?

Forgot to mention I purchased 2 and 1 is defective, Does not read above 48 ?
AND Once in soil seem the reading seems to KEEP GOING DOWN and i bet if I
left it there over night it would read zero ?

Did my best work around by leaving it in each position for only 2 minutes and take readings
but still does not seem to be helping at all. No BASE LINE to adjust to

Speaking of,CL purchases, I take it you did not get the greenhouse, or I missed it.....?

No I had to pass the Girl I was dealing with had set up a time and then canceled,
called back a few days later and said I could come and get it by a specific time that very day

Seemed to risky to drop everything and run right then

but I bet I find another sooner or later

 

[Gazoo]

Not much going on until the LIGHT TIME CHANGE is finished (-0 .5 hrs a day)
so just waiting for FLOWER NOW

Just to show how the LADY BUG Home is still producing I figured I could post
some photos. LADY BUG LOVE is in the air

Below that is my home made ENVIRONMENT CONTRAPTION
To bad, It came out looking kinda Cool especially with the
TWO WAY MIRROR over the reading window but I dont think its going to
offer much info to work with

Noticed the GDP is staying at 32.0 C (89,6 F) thinking I have a bad sensor

Damn you have a hell of a set up Gazoo... nicely done too!
Love seeing the ladybugs all over the place, that’s really cool. I wonder if the plants benefit just from having them in there even without pests...
Also like the gear, makes me wanna get more detailed as well.

Thanks buddy
inquiring minds I just like to have as much information to help make my decisions a little easier

I sometimes wonder what it is they like about the plants, dont think I have any pest so
curious what keeps them around

I have noticed after I Brix or De-stress I see much more action and movement on the plants
Thinking there must be something in those products that they like or keeps them around ?
