:helpsmilie: Has anyone ever used a small bowl/container of baking soda inside the grow room, and occassionally added vinegar to that container to produce Co2? If no one has are there any pro or con views on this practice?:idea:

Baking Soda and Acid
Combining baking soda and an acid such as vinegar produces a significant amount of CO2. In order to produce enough CO2 to have an effect, you will need fairly large amounts of both the baking soda and acid. For a micro-greenhouse of only 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet (128 cubic feet), you would need about 1/2 pound of baking soda mixed with 1 1/2 gallons of 5-percent-acid vinegar.

To keep the chemical reaction going and produce a steady level of CO2, rig up a drip system that portions the vinegar into the baking soda slowly over the course of 24 hours. Suspend the rig from the rafters so that the CO2 wafts down over the plants as it sinks.

If you have a larger greenhouse, you can use hydrochloric acid (available in pool supply stores as muriatic acid); it is a stronger acid and more cost-effective than vinegar.:reading420magazine:

Hey:420: Ive got a question. How far below the bottom of the net pots do you allow the nute level to reach before replenishing? What's the max level when replenishing? How far up the netpots???
Thanks GROOVERS:peace:

The max you want the nute/water level when refilling is 1"-2" below the bottom of the netpots. You need a air gap between the pots and the water, if not you get root rot... And the ones I have in 5 gallons buckets will be 1/2 empty of water and nutes every other day, when I go to refill them ... :peacetwo:

I thought it was ok to fully immerse the pots as long as you got plenty of air going in.

You have to weigh the cost versus amount of work involved.

:thanks: Do you think, going through the process a couple of times a day, just adding small amounts of Co2 each time would help any, or is it just a waste of time and materials? The plants are doing fine I just want to give them a little love not love them to death! :hmmmm:

That's probably not close up enough to tell whether cloudy or clear. Also, it's really hard to tell whether cloudy of clear looking straight on - a side view is best ;)

Here's a few explanatory photos to help your decision making

:helpsmilie: I just purchased a 60 to 100 X Magnifier. I would like to be educated as to the best technique to properly observe the trich activity. I bought the magnifier at Radio Shack and it needs to be placed directly on the media to allow a good look. My question is do I do a small cutting or position the plant in a manner that I can place the magnifier on a leaf near the bud activity. Also do the trichs all over the plant mature at the same rate. Just a dumby here looking to expand some knowhow. :whoa:
 
Well let me start off by tellin everyone happy easter today since i forgot to tell everyone yesterday lol. Ok so tomorrow is the 2nd biggest day of my grow lol i start flowering (of course the number one biggest day in the grow is harvest day). Since i have put my baby in her own bucket she has grown 3 inches thats an inch a day. Im pretty excited to see the growth explosion.
 
So what exactly are those called the 60x-100x magnifiers. The reason i ask is cause i went into radioshack and asked the manager about it and her told me "as long as he been with radioshack he never heard of it" just some stupid jacka** who probably just didnt want to look into it for me so if i can get like an actuall name brand.
