3 weeks in with Aptus shits blowing up around here..

Jack, Norcal.. Can you say objectively that you believe co2 is directly responsible for increased yields? Just curious, Ive ran it, and never saw a benefit at 1500 ppm... Taste of the smoke was certainly there, maybe better than normal not sure, I just dont remember getting more weight.. Perhaps Im mistaken?

What are your thoughts, If you would..

3 and 1 part Time for moms and cuttings


Veg and first 3 weeks of flower then at the end of week 3 its lowered to 80 deg and 50- 55% co2 1000-1200ppm

jack, do you maintain that same Co2 PPM in veg(1000-1200ppm)

 

[NorCal]

it totally correlates to increased yields. If your rooms properly dialed adding co2 will essentially supercharge your plants growth rates In Veg and in flower.

Were you running an intake and exhaust which running the co2 or colling your hoods on a separate loop? If so that's your problem. The way to properly do it is to use an ac to cool your room and pump it full of co2. If you didn't notice much of a difference your room isn't dialed properly. The results are night and day man. I can not stress to people enough to run sealed rooms if they have the capacity to do so. Once you make the jump you'll feel like an idiot for not doing it sooner.

Crazy, I'm sure thats a ton of work as my small scrog keeps me plenty busy on top of my full time 10 hour a day job!!!


You got PM by the way

LOL Now I get to go mess around with my climate controller...
I'm currently at 950 ppms CO2 and 85 degrees with my dehuey set all the way down so it's about 35-40% humidity. Thanks for the reply Jack! I'd + rep you but its not letting me...

In veg we leave the De humidifiers off and when we flip first 3 weeks there set at 60 to 65% first 3 weeks then 50 % week 4 and so on..I would bump it up to 1000, 1200 with temps 85 to 90 it will feel like a sanha if you where glasses they will fog. And you will sweat.. Plants will explode Like you have never seen .

You where not running your temps and Humidity high enough..CO2 does not work unless temps and Humidity are much higher then normal, It will feel like your ac is broke when you walk in the room..

jack, do you maintain that same Co2 PPM in veg(1000-1200ppm)

YES veg through week 6 flower

it totally correlates to increased yields. If your rooms properly dialed adding co2 will essentially supercharge your plants growth rates In Veg and in flower.

Agree 100%

 

[Jbonez]

im just going to continue researching this. Somewhere there was a breakdown, if everyone is seeing yields, then it would stand to reason.. Interesting..

 

[the gnome]

so thru veg --->til week 6 in bloom Co2 is maintained @1k-1.2
after 6wks...? no more Co2 then..?

with the hi temps 85-90 and 60%Rh
do you only run these temps/Rh because of the aptus regiment
or would you still keep these temps/Rh using a standard fertz program bumped
up for the increase in plant metabolism.

and 1 mo Q, with the sauna conditions in the room do you have any probs with PM or other
fungi related issues
or are you proactively on this potential prob
with things like eagle20ew or fungalor bombs etc etc

great thread and a wealth of knowledge here!

 

[NorCal]

Those temps are optimal for veggin plants when running co2. Has nothing to really do with what nutes your using.

The thing alot of people don't understand about sealed rooms is that because there is no air being exchanged pests and PM are rarely ever an issue. so long as your not bringing in random cuts with pests on them or visiting grow rooms that are infected you can pretty much say goodbye to alot of problems associated with exchanging air pests and PM included.

 

[Hazyfontazy]

this is by far the best thread on any canna forum ,cheers jack

 

[Builtaforest]

Just like cruisin at 60 is the best fuel efficiency wise

So is 85deg in co2 environment.

And high rh in general too, but we try to minimize the rot/pm

After battling my first two grows with PM...getting it from who knows where.. I switched to closed grow environment CGE. Its disease & pest free since. Plus its too hot in the desert making it too expensive to cool just to let it back out again. I doubt I'll ever go back.

hello jack i"m very excited just got the large adjusto wings and i have a few questions please.

what is the height between the plants and the adjusto wing thru the whole cycle ??? do u change it during the grow ?

what size do u adjust it to 28 x 36,37,38,39 or 40 ???

i have noticed that the bulb is adjustable too so what is the height that u adjust your bulb from the wing ( the gap between the reflector and the bulb ) ?

thanks in advance.

 

[the gnome]

to add to dror's Q above, i have the parabolic 4ft hoods, if you kno, how do they compare to the large batwings your using ?

 

[LEDNewbie]

Well spent the last 3-4 hours going over this whole thread Jack!! Took notes on everything important. Going to review notes that way hopefully you don't have to repeat yourself. But get ready for some questions

ALLOT of good info in this thread

 

[LEDNewbie]

Was texting the Aptus crew this morning. They're very excited about getting the product in to Canada as soon as possible.

when's this happening Vag?

 

[VagPuncher]

I was told in the early new year. I'll buzz em on Tuesday and ask them.

 

[Sensip]

Yo happy new year jack!

 

[jackmayoffer]

Happy New Year everyone hope 2013 brings you the biggest colas you have ever seen!!!

 

[cyber echo]

Happy new year mate. Amazing grow.
Sorry if this has been asked before but is it hard to find a nice pheno from WiFi in seedform ?
Your pheno #3 looks amazing wonder how hard it is to find one like that.

when's this happening Vag?

Hi. Just got a text that they are all on holidays and will get back to me when they get back.

I'll update you.
