If in doubt, shoot for 900 ppm on the CO2. That rate will be very close to optimum, while minimizing the risk of overdoing it.

Thanx, man. Where can I pick up a CO2 gauge that will tell me the ppm in the air? I was gonna' ask that question today. I can see already, your a handy guy to have around. The most you want in a room is(I think I heard) about 1500 ppm.

:leaf:To The Grow:leaf:

Changed all my timers, yesterday... Oh my god, setting those timers right, had me wanting to pull my hair out!

As far as my broke regulator gauge issue goes... I've decided NOT to return the regulator. I just ended up turning the knob about(what I think is) 1/10 of the way on. I set the CO2 for six 20 minute cycles, and I leave the fans and vents off for 10 minutes after the CO2 cycle ends.

Got both the lights set to the same height, and raised them about a foot and a half further away. I really want them to make a good stretch. I've got them about 4 or 5 feet off them. You guys dont think they'll stretch too far, do ya'? I got stakes to hold those hookers up, if they do!

If you all think I might have pulled my light back too far, I can just leave it here for a few days or a week, and then put it a couple of feet off them.

Here's some pics. I allowed bass420 to take a cutting from the Skunk#1. So if you see the bald spot, that's what that is. He's absolutely in love with that plant because he's never seen a plant with 11 fingers on it's leaves. I never have either, but I'm not as impressed with it as he is...


I also started mixing this with their bi-daily dose of Llama & bat shittea...*edit* I edited this to point out something I JUST noticed. My dog's licking her ass in the background of this pic. Haha. I'm keepin' it up!


...and just like that, the fun part begins.bongsmilie

Great looking grow Subtle!! You should top your clones you got going, to get 4 main colas. It's really simple and easy, causes no stress on the plants and over doubles the amount of bud you get. Uncle Ben has a great thread on it. UB is the real deal!

yeah but if you top your clones make sure its just after there first feeding or you have some super soil. Or all the new growth will suck your soil dry faster than you can blink, nutrients and water. I dont know about no stress but deff minimal if the right precautions are taken. I topped half of mine the other half im only doing LST on. I will be doing lst on the ones I topped too. I want to see if there is a difference in yields

The plants have to have well established roots before you top them. Check out Uncle Ben's threads; the man is a master gardener, a real horticulturist. I've been on RIU for about three years and I thought I knew something about growing. I didn't know anything compared to UB and what I did "know", a lot of it was wrong.

Top my clones? At 5 days old? Right now, I'm just trying to get them to stay alive. I got one of em' dying, I think... The other one's doing well, tho.

I'm actually trying to grow one of these clones for 8-10 weeks, in hopes of cutting it into a couple dozen clones, itself.

Topping it wont hurt that? You do know my clones are in a different room, right? They're under 18/6 fluoros. There are no clones under my HPS's. My clones are HERE.

...Or maybe my inexperience is showing, and your about to tell me a trick I dont know...

I think he was making a suggestion for later on. When you make a mother and cut clones your kind of topping anyway really.

so topping will double your yield? i thought the energy was just distributed to the other 4 cola's only increasing yield a little bit. but was to get smaller colas instead of one big one? ive been wondering this and is making me teeter totter on the idea of topping a few of my girls

if you lst and treat it as four plants as far as lighting goes. your yields will greatly increase. feed as needed.

Yeah Sub, your plants have to be healthy and have an established root system before you can top. If that's in place, you just snip it above the second true node, leaving about 1/2" above the node to heal up. Use what you snipped off as a clone. You'll get four main colas, just as big as if you only had one. It just redirects the hormones; UB goes into the scientific jargon in his thread so I won't do it here. It's really simple. I just planted 99 seeds (see grow journal link in my sig) and I'm going to top all of them.

Here's the link guys. Check out the bud shots on page 112, post 1120! https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html

I think that shit was laced with lsd. as I was sitting by the fire just now I saw a aircraft of many colored light. I was flying around in circles, and as I stared at the flashing lights it felt as if this craft had a tractor beam on my right eye. so I came inside and grabbed a knife because I saw them by my fire. So now I sit in my room holding in my other hand a knife as I type this one handed. There trying to knock the door down..

Svchop, I smoked some Acapulco gold one night and watched an air show over the lake where we lived. There was no air base nowhere near there and certainly not an airshow. But I swear I saw aircraft, flying in precision formation for several minutes and I know I was not imagining it. Sativa is like that; the really top shelf kind bud, if you smoke enough of it, will make you start seeing cartoons.
