You are correct. Brewer's yeast has the genetics to survive the higher alcohol levels.. lasts longer... I must say I didn't do the CO2 like I did my first round and I think it actually gave me some extra weight..

That being said I was doing it in a very small area 3 x 3 and now I'm growing in a 2 x 2 tent... Next winter indoor I think I'll do it again as it seemed to be worth it.

does the vapour being released add to the RH by any chance??

I wouldn't think to any noticeable difference... Perhaps the bubbling of the CO2 would transfer some kinetic energy to the water.. but it would be less than a bowl full of water would contribute as its sealed..

My uneducated opinion

ok went and checked on things yesterday. did 5 transplants of my vegging clones out of thier crappy 1 gal grow bags into 3 gal fabric pots. flooded the upstairs with nutrient and the ole lady at the house called me at around 6pm to let me know shit was leaking through the ceiling....... oops LOL

mixed up a nice batch of veg food and fed all my stuff in the veg tent. running out of room quick up there so harvest time cant come fast enough.

fixed my light issue and now im hard wired right into the plug that goes directly to the breaker panel, no more lost time and i can see a noticable difference just after a few days.


so far i think the blue OG is going to be a keeper and blueberry gum. also the fruity chronic will remain in the room. and the white lavender is looking pretty decent as well. i have pineapple express and purple haze seedlings that are doing well and im unsure of what to pop next. im thinking a trainwreck seed will go into germination soon.

i also have a couple of reg beans that i might pop to get some pollen to do some crossing. just taking it one day at a time as im not sure yet if im going to have to pack up my op and move it. i may wind up with a good basement of my own soon and be able to house my own grow. this will be sweet as i miss having my operation at home and now i have all the equipment i will need to keep it nice and stealth.

also cranked my 600w up to 600w and tossed in a 600w HPS bulb for the auto blue mammoth that is begining to flower, my medical friend got one as well that is starting to flower up nicely, i think his will be larger with more airy buds and mine is going to be shorter with more dense buds, prob end up with close to the same yeild but i may end up with more since my 600w HPS is going to provide more lighting than his 400w CFL rig.

the Barneys Farm website says 70 days from seed, not sure what day im on right now will have to take a look but im pretty sure im around 40 days. illl go back in the journal and see if i can get a more precise start date. these auto's always run longer than advertised anyways so im thinking more like 90 days which is about normal 4 week veg and 8 week flower cycle.

ok looks like on 3-1-13 i made a comment that the blue mammoth seeds are up and going. so im going to use that as my start date. That would make them 43 days old today i highly doubt they will be done in 27 days but never know...im thinking 7 more weeks minimum which will work out nice giving im going to be harvesting starting April 26, prob harvest 4-5 that weekend then get some of the plants in veg in the flower room to start that process. take clones and start some seeds so that in a few weeks i can get a couple more into flower. need to work this stagger thing out so that im harvesting a couple plants every 2 weeks.

anyways, im starting to babble. pics coming up maybe later on today, my PC shit the bed so i have to work off this PoS laptop.

perpetually happy you will be mon amigo!!!

yeah, ill just be happy to have it in my own house. being able to tend to my crop at my leisure is a verry nice luxury.

it truly is and its also something i crave.....CRAVE i tell ya!

uhhh how do u subscribe to this thread? interested in seeing the blue og finish up, i have a few of them going in veg right now and havent really seen any journals...

top of page where it says "thread tools" theres a drop down, click "subscribe to this thread"

sweet thanks dude.. so u lst those blue og's huh, did u ever untie them? they look great, i thought about tying the main branch down but ended up doing uncle bens topping method for 4 main branches. oh btw, what strain is that plant on your profile pic?

yeah i LST everything except the blueberry gum. next run i will be just letting them grow normal to see what kind of difference there is. since i started i have always done some form of training.

my profile pic is a fruity chronic juice budshot from a day or 2 before harvest time.

good to have ya BTW, hopefully i can get a nice update up soon. have been sick with pnemonia and havent had the energy to do much,

Get better soon m8

thanks man im feeling much better now that the antibiotics have had a bit of time to work. plan on heading over to the grow tomorow with the cam.

one of my ww x bb hermed on me, gutted, pulled her and chopped her but worried now the others might be infected, how long have i got before it shows or should i just chop the lot anyways, week early on the 10 weeks i said i'd let em go... what i can do????

just leave em, i doubt too many seeds will develop in a 7 day period. sometimes a hermie this close to the end is a signal that they are over done. kinda a last ditch effort for the plant to try and reproduce.

headed out to grab up a bag of happy frog and some espoma today and transplant my pineapple express and purple haze into 1 gal grow bags. then a water and possibly light feed for all the flowering ladies, will also bring the camera and do a photo shoot. should be getting some nice bud pornz now on week 6 of flower.

i went to check on em and found more dry sacs and seed pods starting to form on 2 of them so i chopped the lot down, they were due to come down in a week or 2 and was only leaving them for ideal trich for me 15-20% amber... ha no chance of that now... just hope it not too soon for em. its day 62 of 12/12 and they all sticky and dripping with trichs but i know they weren't just there yet... bit gutted but woulda been moreso had the lot turned over course of last week/fortnight... ah well, no more ww x bb for me, or female seeds come to think of it, seems to happy to a few of their stock. im sticking to greenhouse and paradise seeds i think, NEVER had a single issue with those two in years, hence my disappointment at these herms, they are my first ever and prob why i missed them in first place... my bad, not seed co. pmsl anyway, thanks for the advice, it really is appreciated.

here's the lot, cut n hung to dry...

Here is the almost end product of what has been a fascinating, intruiging, worrying, pleasurable-fact-finding-first-time-for-a-few-things, for me, type of grow, height issues, long flowering time, fucking hermies, chuckle.... hope the Bella's aren't this stressful hee hee.. will update on dry weight/condition and smoke report as soon as they are dry in around 10-14 days
thanks to all for comments, tips, help, advice throughout....

nice harvest m8!! i went over to my grow earlier but forgot my camera...gonna have to go water feed the flowering shit soon, hopefully i dont forget the camera when i do.
