Hmmm, that makes sense unfortunately. I thought more co2 = good regardless of anything else.

On the plus side, 80 bucks!
 
125-350 g I'm never going to pull that off this 1plant am I ???
I thought maybe 30-60 grams dry but I have only ever harvested a couple times using a much bigger set up, I imagine less so if I yeild a bit more that's cool.

Thank you all ' you have been great, keep growing yalll!!!!!!
 
Hi guys I just read a post on another forum about co2 And aparently if you mix sugar and yeast! the combination gives of co2??
So, this is what you do for a small grow space 1litre plastic bottle 2x cups of sugar 2x table spoons of yeast mixed into walm water and shale a few times here and there to keep the chemical reaction going. It's the same process people use for HOME BREW ALCAHOL.
I'M USING A 60X60X140CM TENT 1PLANT 350WATT draw so I think if co2 will benifit plants it's going to do in here in my tent isn't it??? Being a small enough space for the co2 to work??? Let you guys know how it turns out
 
I have done the sugar and yeast co2 and it's a bit of a pain to control. 1 week you may be at 1500ppm and the next at 1000ppm. For photosynthesis there are the major factors, light, co2 and heat. You need to dial in and work out the weak points to find upping which will help the most. If you're running 1000w hps, 1500ppm co2 and temps at 72f raising the temp may help. It's all about getting it dialed in. Sealing your room is really the only good way to make sure your plants are able to take advantage of the extra co2, or you're just leaking out all of the goodness and wasting your $. You shouldn't get too hung up on what pull, but focus on getting used to your grow area, lights, and strains. Once you're grows are consistent, start changing 1 thing like co2, see what happens and adjust something else the next grow. In a 2 foot by 2 foot area you can do pretty well 130grams should be doable.

Thanks for the advice, I have added some home made co2 didn't cost me anything so only good things can come of it?

Haha, I hope you wont be disappointed with the extra trim work when you yield considerably more than what your hoping for!
Looking nice! If you can pull a few colas into those unused net grids to spread her out some I would do, if you can do so without hassle.
:weed:
 
I'm considering strongly about fitting a 600watt hps in my grow space??? But don't know if it will make a huge diffrence at the flowering stage my grow is at?
Week 4 day 4 flower on a possible 9 week harvest? I'm currently using leds draw 350watt in my 60x60x140cm tent? I would have 1/12ft between my canopy and hps 600watt if installed is it worth it????? I am hoping for around 50 grams dry from her but not sure???20160912_045404.jpg 20160912_045417.jpg 20160912_045423.jpg 20160912_045518.jpg 20160912_045548.jpg
 
Think I'm going for it?
Space is a little small but I've got good ventilation and also the summer is almost gon so heat should be ok
say fir the sake if it my plant at the moment is throwing a ounce at me?? Will the hps increase this yeild to maybe 2ounce you think? ???
 
I doubt at this stage it will increase your yield by a whole lot, but it can definitely have an effect on the overall quality you get.

In the end, it can only help.

Well I just test drive the 600watt in the tent and I will have to wait untill the autumn is here because the temp are in the high 90f and with out running my 8"rvk I haven't got a chance??
I did however squeeze another 150watt led in there so now I have a nice over lap in light intensity' there covering the 60x60 well. watts pet sqf is about 53 per so not bad I think? Will defiantly utilise the space with a 400 hps and maybe a small led for side lighting?
I must say the less known of the led I am using is out performin the better known led by a country mile?'
Next time in think I will veg with led and flower eith hps???
 
1 more question : do you think a grower can take care of a plant so well' that it finishes Alot earlier than the breaded sugested?? If so, what would one do to shorten the flower tome but with no damage to yeild???

No its all to do with time
 
There are some growers that claim by adding far reds for a few minutes after lights off, that they can finish a few days early. But this is something that would be very difficult to shows results in most of our small scale grows. This is more advanced than I am able to experiment with. But otherwise, it's a time thing as bryangtho says
 
My lights are thriving on 52w/sqf in a 6.5sqf tent that's 340 watts sitting 10inch from the canopy. I only wished I had veg ed longer than 6weeks from seed? Should of gon a few more weeks??????



NEXT TIME I WILL.....

Hi guys a quick question: do you think this setup is to much for 1 plant?? In other words will the extra lighting potentially yeild me more weed? I had them so o thought I would use them?? There pulling 350 frow the wall and if you go by the watts on the box it totals 800.
I haven't notice any bleaching yet and they seem to love it.

There is such thing as giving a plant too much light, even if you keep the temps in range. I have this problem with certain strains with my when they stretch and i cant raise the light high enough. Even tho the temps stay fine the light bleaches the tops and causes some strains to foxtail.
