What was the price on co2 bottles from boc and do you need a trade to get the gas or can anyone get it
I think those you brew it joints sell it too maybe check their prices

You can go to their website and check the gas price in your area.. Just say you are a welder when going to BOC... , anyone can get it...

Sweet I want co2 for next summer and a bit of a play after the next new hydro run to see if as good as people say

The pics didn't uplead for some reason before...

Hey lacey, have you thought about trimming up some of the excess fan leaves in your garden? I think at your stage of flower, it wouldent do anything more than help your grow area

I mean, its all opinion, but it will create more airflow. [edit - this next comment was removed by me, due to inaccuracy]

Just my 2 cents Keep up the good work!

Cheers !

You sir, should read up on photosynthesis, and stop reading crap from stoners, who think they are horticulturalists.

Hey man, Ive done it both ways, and never really had a problem, if anything, Like i said, It helped airflow in the grow area

So you sir, should have an open mind, because I have seen many many people do it on here, and done it myself, and my bud was always smokin

It doesn't mean your buds wont be smokeable if you pull leaves, you just end up less yield. It could be little or alot depending on how many leaves you pull.

Think about it using common sense. Do you think nature would have all these leaves if they took more energy to maintain than they supplied?

Those leaves are there to provide carbohydrates for the plant to grow and flower. If you reduce them, the plant doesn't have more carbs for flowering, it has less now. Its not about having an open mind. Its about sound knowledge of photosynthesis, and botany.

If you'd like to learn more you should check out and read Uncle Bens threads. Lots of good info by him, someone growing mj and other plants for 40 years, as well as plenty of wisdom from others.

Hi High, I am afraid I will have to weigh in with DaveC on this one... The buds need the leaves at this point in the flower... I didn't know this either until I started to do a little independent learning... If you enjoy learning about growing you will love reading about the botany of marijuana... Its fascinating stuff... Lots of information and it can be a steep learning curve, but I really got into it...

Have you ever noticed when pot is ripe to pick, and I mean really ripe, most of the leaves on the head should be really yellow and dying.... The reason for this, the plant is taking every bit of remaining energy (sugar) and turning it into buds... If you remove the leaves, it will a)stress the plant at a time where I want it to start to relax and become heavy, b) take away the plants petrol tank so to speak... The extra light at this point in time will not add any extra bud or size, its pretty much up to the plant now....

I strip big shade leaves throughout my grow but its just for the big, old and damaged leaves and if they are blocking too much light. Only about 4 leaves a plant each time... Just every other night... So I am not adverse to stripping, just light stripping...

But I will agree with you, its a leafy, ugly plant. Really unattractive, but if it gives me good smoke then its all better..... Thank you for your input though, its always welcome here

WELL, sorry let me go back to the part where I said trim ALL your leaves off and Ill gladly remove it....nvm i didn't say that

I wasn't saying trim down to straight bud and let that grow, but from the pictures i see, shes got quite a jungle, and im sure a couple fan leaves wouldent be missed.

does that put it in better terms dave? sorry for any confusion

cheers

edit: also if she would have done this weeks ago, the mold problem could have, and probably would have been prevented.

I know you didn't say you trimmed to the bone, nor were my previous posts made with that assumption.

Im just saying there is no benefit from removing them. But by all means, pretend you know better than what mother nature intended.

Her mold problem wasn't because of leaves. That makes no sense. If she had left her exhaust fans on overnight, this wouldn't have happened.

This is the last post Ill make on this. I dont feel like arguing in Laceys thread.

That's ok guys, I don't mind, but I do have a question though...I have been running my exhaust fan (200mm) in my 2m x 2m tent since about week 5 flowering and this still happened...

Just didn't have the air flow???Was that the problem... The tent was having its sides sucked in well and truly by the exhaust fan but it still happened.. Live and learn.. There is soo much air flow in their now, its great...

I shouldn't have a repeat of it should I??? Laceygirl....

My apologies for thinking you had your fan off at times. I went back and re-read your post about the mold and mistook what I read.

From someone who doesn't use a fan in his tents, I doubt your problem was from the level of air flow. I have 12 plants in less than 10 square feet among both tents, and ive had no problems with mold. My exhaust fans run 24/7, but I also have humidity that never gets above 45 during winter. Its usually between 30-40 most of the time. Maybe a dehumidifier would be best for you. Whats your humidity at now?

Its only at about 30-40% dave as I run a portable air conditioner in there, and it removes the water from the air... It is not on 24/7, should it be???

LG i wish i had more knowledge and could impart some of it but unfortunately not. It seems that you are fine tuning your setup but to be honest i would say its been a complete success. Losing a few grams here and there but ending up with a room full of baseball bats cant be that bad. Keep up the good work my dear.

If you have the $$ to buy and run an AC I presume you also have a RH meter, and that 30-40% isnt an assumption based on outside conditions? Just need to check, as humidity would be the obvious problem and theres some law by some dude that says the obvious possibility is usually the problem..

Humidity could be the problem.. Will have to buy a new meter the batteries just leaked thru my old one... Found it in the junk drawer...lol...

Thanks Knickers, I am going for a trip out to the Hydro shop tomorrow anyway so I will grab a new one...

Eightenough came over tonight to have a look at my tent and there was a huge bud that collapsed under the weight, so I had to cut it down.. After I trimmed it, eight told me to weigh it... Well wet weight the one bud was 54.5g...

And that's only one of the small buds...lol... Can't wait for this one... Just over a week and a bit to go now.... Thats my hubby in the Batman T'Shirt... Inside every grown man lurks a ten year old child... Its why I married him...lol...

Sadly I will be saying goodbye to the bongs and I will be changing to a vaporizer, my lungs cannot sustain the amount of cones I smoke considering I put tobacco with my weed... Its just something we do here...I don't smoke cigarettes though...Wish to be free of the Government poison of tobacco...
Yay...Laceygirl...

that bud looks better in real life. the photo doesnt do it justice.
