Anyone heard of people giving 3days of dark at the beginning of flowering to speed things up?
I've also heard of some also giving 3days of dark at the end of flowering to bulk things up?
Anyone try these?

I must be one step ahead of this thread as I grow my weed in the same room that houses my water heater. But the hell if I'm going to just cap the vent. At least I'm getting a tad bit of co2 because of this.

OK OK, panhead you say that you've got 30 some years experience in the trades. And yes this does sound like a great idea, but there are dangers to flue gas that is vented and that's exactly why it's vented. You would really need to be running alot of hot water and making the HWT work all the time to drown out your house/room whatever but still! There's also regulations on how far you can run your flue pipe before it's not allowed by CODE. Going to far and you're probably not venting anything. I'm sure you know that the gas in the vent is only going up your chimney because it's going up with the excess heat and having this "run" too far would make your chimney pretty much useless.

I'm not saying that what you've done is bad... it's a really smart idea to get alot of co2 but there's alot of noobs/greeners that don't know shit about shit and could really die over this.

This is not something I would recommend to anyone other than a qualified HVAC/PLUMBER. Or just no idiots. I keep thinking of Co2 monitors that you can buy for your house, would be a good idea in this situation to keep your asses safe.


Like the foliar spray idea. I have a few plants starting flower right now and would like to try this idea. Panhead how often do you do this during the flowering cycle?

i gave mine 48 hours before flower and 2 different strains went in to flower almost immediately.

free techniques - if you need humidity for your room put bowls/buckets of water in your grow room and the slow evaporation will bring the humidity up. in you need to bring in down you can go to a supermarket and get 'damprid' which will bring the humidity down a lot so maybe put it outside of it.

cheap - molasses, during flowering on soil plants. molasses will make your buds explode like my cock with va-jay-jay. its cheap and its amazing.
also lemon juice works as a GREAT ph down. adds slight nutes and brings the ph down in my tap water. just check with ph and ppm meter to find out how much you need to work with

the sprite thing is supposed to increase CO2 on the leaves through the carbonation. i wouldnt use sprite if you wanna try it. i would def go with club soda. or just straight seltzer water. look at the ingredients and make sure it just says water and carbon dioxide. sprite just sounds bad. i dunno how the taste would improve with it. i know that lemon and lime juice are so acidic that it brings down the ph A LOT. so, i would imagine that the sprite (lemon-lime) would be bad to spray bc of the acidity. i did try the seltzer water spray on my first grow at 18 in my homemade hydro and it seemed to work just fine. i didnt notice a plus or minus

thats all i got for free/cheap yield increasers

You guys never stop with the danger nonsense i swear,first you start off saying you usually know what your doing, then go on to quote a mythbusters episode as back up of your complete misunderstanding of this simple task, and you have misunderstood very badly.

The mythbusters guys took hot water heaters,then removed all saftey devices,then they removed & capped off the pressure relief valve so it could not vent,then they pumped the hot water heater full of compressed air until it reached allmost 3 times the water heaters pressure capacity until it exploded,again an entirely different thing than simply moving the exhaust pipe to a new location.

man i dont know it sounds DANGEROUS hahahahaahha

I discovered a little trick purely by accident a couple of years ago that really does seem to work wonders. It's actually possible to worry or scare your plants into vigorous THC production. Not sure if it will work with all strains, taller growing plants may actually suffer slight negative effects due to this. Anyhoo here it comes.

I was growing some Skunk #2 and found that one of the fem's was a small straggly little bugger that I could not get to flower for the life of me so I lost it a bit and took it out of my grow chamber. I went upstairs cut eye holes out of my pillow case and placed it over my head so the plant wouldn't recognise me. This is where the science comes in. I ran down stairs like a crazed Van Dam on phet called the plant a bitch, offered the plant out and proceded to round house kick about an inch above the top of the stalk. After 30 or so round houses I noticed buds starting to form. After a bit of trial and error I found that the Pillow case and the name calling weren't doing anything. It was the round housing! I did this with all the plants and had my best ever crop..

As I said, it doesn't work with tall weed as it's very easy to kick off top bud off the plant. I've spoken to Howard Marks about this who reckons the plant starts to yield massive amounts because it respects your abilities but I stick by my scare tactic theory. Dwarfs and people under 5 2" should only try this on autoflowering strains and SOG. Cheers for reading, I hope it works for you.

ok so ive been in the construction biz for23 yrs and i would like to add a few things.Natural gas will kill you dont be fooled into thinking that it cant,however it can be controlled very easy.Exhaust you vent into your room sure but what you have to be sure about is that it is exhausting and not let it back up and collect.If you have to run a 30 foot pipe from the exhaust to your room well your not venting good eneough and this could cause a boom.What i would do is simple take a computer fan and hook it right up to your exhaust pipe,this should make everything mom approved,good growing

Hi Panhead...

I am glad that you are such an experienced installer of Gas Water heaters. But here is why this is DANGEROUS!!!

You cannot get a kid to read, understand and follow your first post. So how in the hell do you expect that same kid to not screw up a heater vent pipe installation?

What is the proper rise to run on that vent pipe? I didnt see you indicate that in any of your posts.

The scary thing is that they will see that they can massively increase their buds for FREE!!! And hey, if they take a few liberties with that pipe going up.. oh well!! I am glad the thread is littered with people saying you could die or your water heater could blow up because it keeps stupid uneducated people from trying this possibly DANGEROUS installation.

So has anyone got any ideas on how to increase the yield.
we all know the dangers of gas heaters but what about the yield,
