Okay, so according to what I read in hoosierdaddy's tutorial, five 3" holes will give me ~35square inches of intake. Which is about what I calculated that I'll need. Thats not too bad, I have a 3" circular saw, so I'll tackle that soon.
Hoosierdaddy, Your information was plenty good. I wasn't disregarding it if thats what you thought, I just hadn't acted on it yet. Thanks for the help.
Its the other cab with the vent problem. One that I put together to keep mothers in. This one
Thanks for the replies though, stick around, things are just getting good. I can't wait to see what these things look like in a few more weeks. 6 weeks from today is harvest, figure about another 2 weeks after that before it is smokeable. Stay tuned
Nice lookin ES buddy! I haven't been lurking too much lately so I thought I'd drop through. Does that CO2 boost actually help in our small cabs?? I was doing that with Wort from my buddy's brewery and fresh Yeast and the gatorade bottles I used would bubble for about 2 days but I'm not sure if it did much for yield so I was curios if you have tested with and without yet??
Thundurkel: I haven't tested em yet. They were expensive and might not be worth it. Like a hundred bucks a pop, they say thats like 3 months worth or something. As you seem to already know, it uses some kind of fungus or bacteria that generates CO2 as a biproduct or something. The reason I haven't tried it yet is because this is only my second grow, and have started from seed both times so far, so I didn't want to waste it on mess ups and plants that didn't grow to their full potential because they were shaded out by males during veg. I suppose I'll try it one of these days though, once I get a few more grows under my belt. It only helps during flower right? Late Flower?
An a separate note, I think I MIGHT be noticing NEW nute burn on some of my upper leaves. But I haven't added any nutes recently. Is that just the effects of the burn that was happening on my lower leaves reverberating through the plant from the bottom up? or does it not work like that? It could just be my imagination or something I just hadn't notice, but I figured I'd ask, better safe than sorry.
prob like 4 weeks ago. And then the last time I Added any nutes was probably over a week ago when I added that kool bloom that I decided it probably useless. Most of these additives don't have anything in it that the regular nutes dont have.
have you not been cheeking the res tds and ph every day. I bet if you cheek your ph you will find it's off and you should need to add some F/n to lower your ph.If it was me I would do a one day flush with just water and then dump that water out and refill and add new nutes
I dont check it every day, but every few days, its been pretty good so far, i guess its time to check again. I know i'm at 950 PPMs, just not sure about the PH.
Why do i need to dump the plain water too add the nutes?
I'm gunna do just what you said, I'm just trying to understand why?
Do I need to PH the water I flush with? Its 8.5 or higher.
Finally figured out it was the auto focus preventing me from taking a decent picture. Half of these pics were taken with auto focus on, half off, you can really tell the difference (in no particular order).
Draining the res as we speak ( so to speak )
PH was decent, Between 5 and 6
(don't forget to read my previous post for questions I need answered)
after you let the water stay in over night the ppms of the water will raise plus it leaches out some of the nutes from the plant.I notice I big incease in bud size bout 2 days after I do it
