Thanks. Those are actually in like the third or fourth week I think. They just don't want to flower... the high night temp and lower day temp is really throwing them off. I'm thinking I'll have to start ice water treatments.
I actually swear I saw the start of nute burn yesterday
They are a bit darker in person than in the pics but that's pretty much as green as the strain gets I believe. Like here the one on the left is the chocolope and the darker one on the right something else. Granted I have been feeding more flower nutes than veg nutes. Can
you get nute burn from cal mag?
kind of... No glass but I'm pulling air through the hood. During the night while it's running I have no real temp issues so I'm thinking no need to lose any light with dirty glass.U cooling your hood now gas? i see ducting

yeah i feel that not wanting to flower shit... how many lights are you running what spectrums can you vary the timers i got some good advice for slow motion and similar night/day temps. shorter hours like 11/13 and i like to run red only for the first and last hour then all the other light for 9/14. i still get BIG buds, trust this lighting schedule is bomb.....it changed my whole game and i have tweeked it for 3 years. with the co2 and cool temps i get at night, well my plants cant help but flower!

i hear c02 only really helps if you are going large-huge scale. ???

I think CO2 is over-rated, can't beat fresh air from outside.

not true at all. too many variable if you lived in your grow room 24/7 and breathed out co2 thus raising the ppm up 200-300 your plants would be affected.
my favorite things in growing,
soiless soil
CO2
compost tea
full spectrum lighting
double potting

those are the things that have made growing much more profitable for me at least.
my co2 only runs during the day and i flush with fresh air 5x during the day and all night. 100% sealed is overrated, not co2

i keep a window open in the growroom, and the house is pulling in fresh air through 2 fans all day every day, so my air is rarely stail
i get great results, and can't complain. Yes there are too many variables to consider to prove if anything makes a difference really. i know someone who uses C02 in a sealed environment, you know what? i say waste of money, there are soo many other things that can guarantee large juicy nugs. If you are replacing air with fresh air, it will make little difference. That's why even large pro growers don't usually use it. more importantly Lighting, fresh air that gets replenished, and fresh clean food.I'm not saying C02 doesn't do anything, but it's not a guaranteed 20% gain or anything like that.

no point in sealing if not using Co2, simple filters filter out crap that you don't want in the room.....

well im not going to get into this on another mans threads , but i will states it like this CO2 does nothing if you dont know what your doing, and your absolutely right it does not guarantee shit.
but my environment is so fine tuned and tight(all on lowes timers too.) i could drop co2 easy, but the growth times are so much faster.
and just make the point worse i harvest my widows in 65 days for the most part(sometime more sometimes less, we all cant be perfect)

The harlequin cutting I got around two months ago finally has signs of the initial formation of a root! You need to look really really closely and I might have broken it off putting it back into the soil, but WOOT! Just took two fing months... Really didn't think it was going to happen.

Honestly there is a huge difference between a dialed sealed room w/ Co2 and a dialed non-sealed room. The whole point of sealing with Co2 is so you can add higher levels of Co2 than whats found in nature. most commercial growers that have dialed rooms use Co2. If they dont then they arent maximizing profits..i keep a window open in the growroom, and the house is pulling in fresh air through 2 fans all day every day, so my air is rarely stail

cmon. dont bring that shit here. i just said that no arguing on another persons thread.(even thos your points are very valid, he could just read about it or do it himself and learn) gas tanker thats good news sometimes those last minute clones or only survivor clones taker forever to root. and when they do they have lost too much foilage, well good luck with the harlequin, what is that exactly too? never heard of it.

Increased CO2 levels will make plants grow faster. Hard to argue with that. How much it helps one particular persons grow and whether it is worth it for them can only be answered by that individual person. Not much to argue imo.
Harlequin is one of the originally identified high CBD strains with a 1:1 ratio of CBD:THC. According to my friend it's the clearest narcotic high he's ever experienced from bud. http://www.projectcbd.org/StrainNotes/Harlequin/Harlequin.html

i was reading about Harlequin, so thats probably of an original hash plant genetics. thats a bomb sleeper strain right there! no wonder it took so long to root if i remember right hash plants are harder to clone.

I want to say it was both in flower and the most shoot apical growth, both of which make it harder to root as well. Its funny, I'm surrounded by dispensaries but I HATE getting clones from them. I could have easily just gone in and purchased a rooted clone but getting a cutting from a fellow RIU member and waiting all this time still seems more appealing. I'm just hoping that now that it's started putting out roots it does it in a big way and fast - I need more cuttings asap.
