white widow 250w hps scrog - naturally co2 to boost

Hi Guys.

First i want to thank you all for this great forum. i really got alot of info just by following grow journals and reading around the different places on the forum.

This is my second grow in about 2 years. -had alot of problems getting the right place, because i cant have it at my own place.

well well..

i have 2 homeboxes. 1 Homebox Xl silver and 1 Homebox light. they are placed right next to each other so the air can circulate between them.

Homebox Xl Silver:

exstractor fan + filter
250w hps for both veg and bloom.
small fan for plants
irrigation system
alternative scrog screen


Homebox Light:

Lots of Blue led lights
3 terrariums
3 humidifiers
heat mat
lots of mushroom cultures


I got my 9 WW clones from a friend. put them in my tents and set the hps to 18/6.
vegged them for about 2½ weeks and have just set the hps to 12/12.
i´m using 6.5 Liters containers for each plant (except one) and its filled with biobizz light mix.
outside the tents i have a resevoir for water and exstra nutrients. keeping it at 1.5 ec.

my plants are now about 40 cm and some of them have just reached the screen...

The cool thing about having the tents next to each other, is that the mushrooms make co2 out of air and as you know plant grows faster with co2 and makes it to air again. the plants are supporting the mushrooms with heat and the mushrooms are supplying the plants with co2.

i know that 250hps its way small for the big tent, but its the only thing a got until harvest :) then i can upgrade to 600 ;)

i´m keeping the heat between 20-26 degrees celcius and the humidity at about 50-60%


have a couple of questions.

is the scrog screen too high? should i force it down to 30cm and then just weave from there?

should i just forget the screen until next grow?

how many degrees should the water in the resevoir be?

i´m very open for suggestions and questions as i think its a easier way to learn from mistakes and more exsperienced growers.

Let me know what you think :)

Heres a small picture update. i know that i havent been updating in a while so heres a small resume. the girls are in 5th week of flower in the last 2 pictures..


i have raised the e.c to 1.8-2.0.

thinking about using GH Ripen in week 6 or 7

you think they will be yielding okay?

i think they are pretty thin by now, but hope that they will gain more weight in the last 4 weeks of flower.

let me know what u think :)

i'll be keeping my eye out. something to get if you have a couple bucks is some molasses, unsulfured. any will do, but black strap and grandma's are highly recommended. they add carbs that boost all around growth, as well as trace minerals those girls need. they're looking good. subbed mate

Hey man. Thanks for stopping by :)

Hmm some molasses... by that do you mean some honey or syrup? if correct how much would i put i my rez? and for how many weeks? i have decided to flush the last 10 days and give the beauties Advanced nutrients - overdrive npk 1-5-4 in the last 2 weeks. would that be all or do you think i should do anything else?

just went to my grow room today.. i had filled up my 40L rez friday, so figured that i didnt have to go yesterday. went i came out there, there was no light. i plugged/unplugged the timer a couple of times...-nothing happened... i changed the timer with a brand new one and the light was on again.. i dont know if my girls had lights on yesterday. does anybody og you think that is critical for the last couple of weeks?

of cause i forgot my camera today, so pics will come tomorrow.. took some with my phone if anybody really wants to see them today..

i don think you should feed them the nutes in the last week jus give them phd water,when you flush your leeching out the nutes that are left in the soil.if you fed them the advanced nutes(all lies lol)then theres a slight chance IMO that the smoke will not be as smooth as it could of been had you not used the nutes.jus flush and normal water:leaf:
buh by all means crack ahead with the molasses coz they add weight and wont really affect the smoke
jus my 2 cents
