Hey Jack a few questions regarding CO2. How do guys manage to work in a room at 1000 ppm of CO2? Is it dangerous for humans at this level? Do U use a carbon monoxide detectors? I read that sealed room should have a air exchange system with outside, in case of too much carbon monoxide, how do U deal with that?

Co2 doesnt start making you sick until like 30,000 ppms and fatal till 100,000. I think 5000 is the point that you start to feel effects if exposed for many hours at a time.
I run a sealed room where it gets up to 1700 sometimes because my controller sucks, I havent had any issues. I use bottles so dont have to worry about carbon monoxide. No air exchange, sealed up tight all the time.

I need to get some of those glasses though cause the lights give me a headache.

:biggrin:We had really good results with the CANA Coco A+B as base we hit rite around the same #'s as we did with the Heavy 16 a little under but not by much.. The nice thing about CANA is same base nutes with veg as flower makes replanting the rooms and flushing real easy ...Cana coco as base , Aptus once a week, Caps tea once a week,Once a week sea green with base the rest of the days base nutes week 1-3 ec of 0.8 and week 4 -6 ec of 1.0 to 1.3. You can thank me later thats the golden ticket..:)JACK

Just like to thank jack for all he's done for me. I've been following him since the farm days, and learnt so much from him. He has helped countless people just in my entourage.

One quick question how many ml of Canna are you putting per 100 gallons?

could you give a nutshell comparison between Canna and Heavy? Have you had a chance to try Hous and Garden yet?

Well in the exact same room using everything the same except base Heavy 16 Came in at 20 k at #48 and Cana Coco as base came in at #47 SO They where pretty close plants dont stretch as much with CANA dont know why? The thing about Heavy16 in beds it takes alot longer to flush out . When we transition from flower back to veg. With Cana we use the same base in veg and flower so it makes life way easier but we use twice as much base with CANA so its pretty close..

im lovin chow mix...hit my best yields with it ever but still not as close as yours...anyways im running aptus fasilitor + startboost with GH 2 part and heavy 16 prime @ week 2 flower, gonna start adding PK boost soon....so far im loving the results, fast bud onset and healthy green plants all around.

what else you use from heavy 16...i got a bottle of "fire" to play with too might start adding it soon...

Hey Jack what bulbs and ballasts do you use. I've had good results with Quantum ballasts and Eye Hort super HPS bulbs. This run I used Digilux bulbs as they are supposed to work well with the Quantums but I walked into the room tonight and one was burnt out after only 2.5 months of use.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but is this stuff the same as Aptus-holland ? Feeding scheduel looks very identicle, and a crown for logo as well, just not the exact same.

I want to know, since I'm not keen to ordering stuff from us to a eu country, customs and all, and if this stuff is expensive alrdy my customs will charge me like 25% extra.

Looks very alike.

Jack,so on the days you feed the aptus and caps you dont feed any base nutes at all?If so are you spacing out the caps and aptus feedings or are you running them on back-2-back days??

Hey Jack, when you say ten of your 4x8 tables takes 100 gallons of water per feeding, are you talking per day or are you feeding 200 gallons per day since you feed twice in a day??

If the 100 gallons does count for both feeding are you making just one batch of nutes for both feeding? Or are you making a fresh batch for each feeding?

I also read a comment where you said you let your PH swing from 5.5 to 6.0??? How can PH swing when your making a new batch of nutes everyday and using it all up? Not quite understanding that?


:thank you:

Bro read back a few pages explains everything. He tells exactly what days he does what.

No offence to you personaly,but the same questions over and over. Its the reason most guys like jack shut down and great threads like this die.

Im planing on changing what Im doing. Taken the huge leap from my reused soil to coco.

Scared cause coco is way less forgiving with watering.

Going to do a test run on one of my systems with canna base like the idea of the base being the same. Cause with what Im currently doing the soils transition back to veg. Is a little off Its touchy with a mag. Difficentcy with my new transplants.
I recently switched to advanced PH perfect sensi a&b with b52, vodoo juice, and senizym. Also some lime it has helped but the def. They develop Is not completely gone.

They grow right out of it if flower.
But I like perfection. Anyway got high hopes.

Wondering with reuesing the coco if you have seen anything like this?

Wondering if u suppliment anything anything special durring in veg? Or if you just do canna base and the couple aptus additives and thats it?

Also is there anyway you can show your training style? I love the way your girls are just are straight up colas.

What is your ave. Head count on a single girl? From those base pics looks crazy.

I think my training is currently lax I do single cola style and I LST. Im going to start doing the scrog and that alone will probobly kick up yeild. Anyway.

Thanks Jack.

Jack please tell us about fascilitor. Do you use it everyday or
1 day per week? Do you double the dose in early flower? When do you
stop using it?
Cheers
