So just a update the original 4 plants are doing great. They are co-planted 2 to a seven gallon pot and one set is in a dry amended coco similar to mr.canuck. The coco plants are doing amazing I planted my smallest with my largest and I feel like when they figured out they were sharing a pot the...

I’m going to have to say perlite.

That’s not to bad still, they are much better than the $15 dollar cheapo that I had before

I’m currently using this and it seems to be of good quality and has just a good a rating as the famous bluelab pens at half the price. It’s currently $50 on amazon

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to make a post about a little CO2 generator I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. So basically how it works is you have 2 fluid reservoirs (I use a 1 gallon water jug and a 5 gallon bucket) with one being higher than the other so it can gravity drain. Fill the...

DAY 47 Plants are overall doing great, I started LST’ing them I don’t really want to top as I already put them through enough stress at the the beginning of there lives and don’t want to stunt them again. The last issue I’m working out is getting my soil ph back in range. I learned the hard way...

So I think 1 of 2 things either they never done it and get hung up mentally of thinking you need a sealed room and your “pressurizing” it with CO2 which is false or also if you under pitch the mash it won’t light off properly and thus not produce the desired amount of CO2.

Definitely if you have a room burners are the way to go but tents create some issues which make them harder to use

DAY 30 UPDATE: So last time I had some severe overwatering issues and almost lost the whole grow as the leaves were yellow and waterlogged and looked terrible. I however decided I would give it everything I could to turn the situation around. So basically what I did was repotted them into 1...

Sure so it’s basically a 5 gallon bucket with a pump and air stone and aquarium heater you can find the build on YouTube. Then inside I run a birdwatchers mash with 2 gallons of water 4lbs sugar 30 grams of yeast and 6oz of tomato sauce. It will produce something like 600ppm within 6 hours and...

I had my humidifier in front of a fan to blow it out and across the tent. Also the AC Infinity fans can be setup to maintain desired humidity if upgrading the fan is an option.

I'm not sure about yield the science says yes, but I'm running a 4x4 with fermentation CO2 generator and I can get 900 ppm vented and 1300 ppm unvented with the surrounding room level at 600 ppm. Unvented is not air tight either so it wouldn't be sealed per say.

I built a fermentation CO2 generator and I can maintain 900 ppm vented and 1300 ppm unvented in a 4x4.

In Michigan its like $13.99 for the 1.5 at my local shop, $25 seems high but then again its all about the economics of your area.

I'm new as well, but I believe the solution as whole should be balanced so PHing before mixing nutes is counter intuitive since everything you put in the water changes the PH, which I wasn't considering.
