GDP Almost There?...

So you're just exhausting the CO2 you put in.

That is correct! The lights come on early morning when I enter home office and I turn the exhaust dial down to just one bar while CO2 and lights are on all day. At night I raise the fan speed dial to clear the tent overnight. Repeat next day. I only care that the PPM is at least around 1200 - 1500 (according to my Autopilot meter) most of the daylight schedule. This CO2, Temp, RH is easily maintained with current set up.

However! This current setup will evolve into more practical and or experienced efforts as I grow. So I'm always open to suggestions considering this truly is the first time I've ever done this. I suspect I'm executing a lot of baby steps as I go.

CO2 injection is best for sealed rooms. Otherwise you are just exhausting it out of the tent and the plants aren't able to make efficient use of it.

IMO focus on growing healthy plants start to finish and then worry about maximizing your grow.

How full, neat, and uniform! Yep, aiming for that fabulous look on my upcoming grow in Feb!

Right there! That is actually better advice than I initially came across regarding CO2. I took it to be an absolute necessity in getting started. I thought everyone used it as a necessary component. I later find out it's best used in a different configuration and best used toward end of flower stage to increase yield. Totally agree with ya twentyeight.threefive. Thanks for your input.

Yeah your wasting a bit of money by just exhausting all the CO2 u put in there. And with a setup like my tent u need lots of fans lol. I’m about to put up the exhaust fan with carbon filter which makes 4 fans. 1 intake, one above canopy, one below canopy and exhaust. Then I have a vivosun mini dehumidifier to keep RH under 60% in dark period. Gotta watch for mold big time in a setup like this

Today Jan. 20th, 2022 is 82 days. Noticing slight color change on some leaves. Among mostly greener leaves you can see the yellow/red leaves. With expected chop date of Feb 3, is this normal at this stage?

 

[A.k.a]

Yep lots of plants start to go purple towards the end.

they look great, Feb 3 might be slightly early though.

 

[Wattzzup]

Probably closer to a month

Looks like you have a few more weeks.

Remind yourself.... "Buds put on the majority of their weight in the last 2 weeks of flowering."

They may not look like they are growing but they are, and they get more and more and MORE dense.

A lot of times you'll see the buds on your strongest stems start to sag in the final ten days after most of the signs of ripeness appear, always a good sign of ripeness in and of itself.

 

[BobHasBurgers]

88 Days and woke to double the leaves changing colors. If not for the trellis net, a lot of this growth/weight would be hanging off edge of pot and onto floor.

 

[CitizenSnipz]

Your getting there for sure and looking good man! Home stretch

Forgot to mention that a while back I got 9 clones off current GDP mother plant. Will select a couple for the next grow when current grow is done in a week.

 

[BobHasBurgers]

Whole bunch of color changes. The sea of orange/yellow messed with my lens but you get the gist here. Checked trichomes to find about 30-35% amber.

Those plants have like 3-4 weeks left.

 

[Hollatchaboy]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a whole lot of trichomes.

102 days from seed germination, I cut down this beautiful plant. Following behind her are 9 of her potential GDP clones. Determined this the best time to cut based on fellow growers average consensus, actual plant age, visual appearance as it progressed, and finally 30%+ ambler trichome development. I cut plant into 6 main sections. Two pieces per hanger and into a 2x2x48 tent. After a full day, hygrometer reads 47RH & 75% F. Will dry for 10-12 days? Snap test will tell. Wide mouth large Ball curing jars are ready
I have no idea what this one plant will yield but once dried and cured I'll follow up with weigh in! No matter the outcome, I'm already very pleased and lucky to get it this far man.

I've improved lighting for current grow with a second spider farmer light to veg tent for combined pulling 300W in 4x2x60

Updates soon!

Chopped abit early, Great first grow. some people don’t get to harvest!

Soma always said, when you think your plants are ready to chop, wait another 7-10 days. When you still have fresh, white pistils, you got a ways to go.
