Heading into flowering tomorrow

Well I started w/ clones and not seed so that helps. This is my first grow so I had to battle through some mag issues but found epsom salt to be a savior. Now that I am in flowering I am using 2x 240W TaoTronics LED, and a 6bulb T5 (4 x 3000k, 2 x 5400k)

Day 1 (1x 240W TaoTronics LED)

Day 16 (2x 240W TaoTronics LED)

Day 24 (2x 240W TaoTronics LED)

Just added: Soleus Air 10k BTU portable air conditioner/dehumidifier, and a 20lb Co2 setup w/ regulator. Since I can now keep the room temp around 85° w/ that added T5 and RH at or below 60° I can efficiently attempt to add CO2. I'm not sure how much added bonus but I have heard it is worth a shot if you can implement it correctly. This room is now pretty closed to be capped for available space or funds to add more toys. :eyesmoke:

Great point. I will be moving the ac unit outside the tent tomorrow and in-taking it through the 6" at the bottom of the tent.
 
8 Days into flower, pistols are shown on all 6 plants. Will have some better pics when actual flowering starts in the next week or so. Kinda looks like a jungle all of a sudden in there.

Cool. Nice to see a fellow LED/T5 grower on the boards. And I'm very interested in the CO2 project. Thanks for sharing. Peace upon your grow sir.

Back when I was still working I had a customer that grew some really nice house plants , he told me they grew so good because he talked to his plants a lot , I thought he was probably crazy , but after watching these links and seeing how much the CO2 level went up just from him blowing his breath toward the meter I’m now thinking maybe he wasn't crazy after all , If your going to use the CO2 this looks like something that would nice to have .

I was holding out for a few Ebay auctions for 2 different monitors/controllers last night but didn't win them. So as of about 60 seconds I ago I now have one of these co2meter.com units on the way. I'll update with my value report when it gets here sometime next week.
 
Day 14 of flower

Everything is going well, they are taking 3/4 strength nutes just fine now. Cal/mg + epsom salt every other only water has really kept them in line. So far I have been able to control stretch with only 4-5" gained on the Chem D #4's and Sour D. The Blue Cheese is stretching horizontally, these would be ideal scrog plants for those of you looking for something different. CO2 PPM monitor will be here in a day or 2 and then I'll be able to crank that mother up to 1500ppm. :cuss:

watch how much Co2 is going out of that A/c unit since it vents outside of the tent.
yep we can attest to that, we had an ac that sucked out a lot of C02. Then we sealed the room and put in a split a/c and it has made a big difference in how often we were changing out the C02 tanks.

your girls are looking nice.
 
As recommend by a post a few days ago I went ahead and bought it. PPM/RH/Temp with high and low alarms for $160 shipped to my door in 3 days.

1500ppm here we are!

I actually had to be out of town the past 4 days so I had my fingers crossed on what I might see when I got back. The budding locations have swelled immensely as you mentioned and I have been trimming pretty heavy taking out lower foliage. I'm at day 22 for flowering and I have lots of crystals showing on all 6 plants around the buds with lots of white hairs. Leaves have a beautiful green color to them, minor mag def but my epsom salt keeps it under complete control. Gotta love LED, and not having to worry about any heat over 90° in my enclosed room while gone. I'm impressed with the Fox Farms products so far, might be adding molasses or bud candy for a sweetener as well.

Camera is out of commission until probably Sunday, so I hope to surprise everybody then with a pic update.
