I have considered the 'cheap method' with the yeast and sugar and water, I think??

No doubt Tahoe and the others have the 'uber' way - computerized at 1,600ppm. I've seen the results and it is awe inspiring, most certainly the way to go if you can afford it.
I know* that a gatorade bottle just ain't gonna do it _ unless you are looking to mentally jerk yourself off that you have co2. Reason is - there is not enough volume in the bottle. Plus it is just nutz to deal with it.
If I ever had a beer keg to play with, I see something that has some pretty good volume _ maybe as much as a small o2 bottle; and, can handle pressure, like lots of pressure.
Ever wonder how much pressure sugar & yeast can produce? I don't know, but IMHO, that would be a fun experiment. Get an empty keg, put the sugar & yeast into it. Pound a cork into the opening and see WTF happens. Could be real exciting if you were stoned.
*This is my opinion and I could be wrong

Thanks for saving me the trouble YGF, that was exactly where I was headed.
Quick update, I cut down the next plant. Here she is!

Yep yep got a lot of Farmin to do today!
Gotta get that baby manicured down a bit. Gotta flush the two plants I'm harvesting next weekend, then I need to transplant like crazy!
The plants that are in veggy room #2 have to be moved to their permanent homes. I also need to transplant the Satori and mystery seeds.
Two of the clones taken when the plants were 5 full weeks into flowering are FINALLY reverted back to veggy state and are showing some new growth! The other two are not doing nearly as well.
The first two clones are doing excellent but they seem to be slightly mutated if you will, the leaves are very oddly shaped.
Anyway, it's a big day Rocky Mountain High!!

Well I have further confirmation on the 'turkey baster' method of watering.
the transplants I moved today, show me the money! You can see the roots shoot straight to the bottom where the perlite was holding water, then once I started the TBM rather than the 10% run off, the roots make a full u turn and begin searching for the food and water. The root systems were beginning to fill the soil up nicely.
Also, I noticed on transplanting the Satori and mystery seeds, that they were slowly making their way to the bottom, not a B line down there. I May have to swear off the root cubes as today when I transplanted I noticed that the plants that came from root cubes had very little roots going into the soil whereas the others that were straight into soil did. the root cube seedling root ball, would fall apart in my hands. The ones without the root cube stayed in nice form, I assume the roots are holding it together.
YGF, you will be happy to know that I used the micorrizae on all the transplants. I used a weak solution of the MIC, to soak my new soil in the new pots. Then when I turned them out of the containers I 'drizzled the roots with a full strength MIC mix.
I'm hoping for very strong root systems on these babies!
I will try to post the root pictures in a little while.
Yes

I need to get to my 'manicuring appointment' ASAP. Just been doing all the other farmin this morning and that's all I have left. After this little break I will get her started.

Pictures of the roots, I'm now a confirmed believer in the Turkey Baster Method of watering.

Well the plant harvested on saturday is starting to get pretty dry. I have it in a room which is about 60-65 degrees F and about 40% RH. Still seems like it dried too fast.
Guess we'll see after the cure.

Looks like the root is going up the side, in the left hand picture.
If so ,
Sips and not gulps = better roots
Better yet..... Don't waterboard your plants!

Yeah, they were making the u-turn to the top.
Is 'over drying' a problem with my harvested plant? Is there such a thing?

I think the stem snap is the rule....I understand that you can overdry......people have given their fair share of remedies.....I am totally unsure what is best for re-moisturizing your bud....certainly NOT Nivea! anyhoo....7-10 days? but the circumstances in each case I'm sure are unique....check the stems...I hope someone else with real drying/curing experience pipes in......good luck!
