CO2 Enhanced 400 watt HPS Stealth SCROG Cabinets

Holy shit man thats a crazy 3 day progression.
I have to say, scrogging is probably one of the more attention grabbing things for me.
Everyone does it differently, slightly.
And i'm still obsessed with your setup!
Your ladies in there must be pretty vain for you to put mirrors up around them all day

I wasn't going to run it but they stretched like crazy....Its my last and best defense, it really helps with the LST..... Having a wooden tent makes it easy too.....They have finally slowed down and started packing on weight.........I thought all females love the mirrors!!

I love watching your grows. They are always interesting feats.

 

[Mr.Natural]

Well these 5 gallon buckets are a little tricky at first. They can go so long in between feedings that I underfed the VK and she's suffering some. She kinda got a little lost with all the equipment changes and temp testing....So she's got my total attention, hope I can turn her around...

The Grape God is living up to the hype. She's short and thick and frosty. She looks to be the fast finisher she was advertised to be...
The Island Sweet Skunk and Jack The Ripper are running a little behind previous runs but doing well....

The screen is filling up nicely.....7 clones in 4 buckets...

Sorry for the bad graphics but the wires are hard to find.....

Filling in fast, about 10 days later....

Grape God Bud at 26 days.

Island Sweet Skunk at 25 days.

Jack The Ripper at 25 days..

Violator Kush under fed at 26 days..

Looks like a mess of weed....Getting sticky in there!!

OK, GG in the lower left / VK is the yellow tops cutting across the center/ ISS is center and right front / JTR is right rear and right front.

Lookin damn good man, nice fucking buds! and yea that thing is filling up a lot holy shit
your venting is barely able to fit hahaha.
I was wondering, how much would it cost to run co2 in my tent roughly?

Thanks Bro, they have their ups and downs don't they .....lol I check often for bugs now days..... I cant help tweaking the damn cabinets. I about to focus on the mother cab. I think I'm going to put the 250 MH back in there. The cfl's work but they too seem to be stretching constantly. I think the MH bulb will slow that down and give a better penetration into the plants. But I dont want too much. Might have to end up with a little 24" Quad T5 set up. But I have the 250 just setting there idle.

I love your new shelf tent set up...Very ingenious way to solve that need. Thats going to really pay off for you. Did you say Moms and Clones? lol

Thanks man, I cant wait to fix that intake vent hose. I bet it takes away 10 to 15 % of the growing space. I just hope it stays together until chop...What do you mean? Equipment cost or CO2 used per run? I have about $325.00 in the EQ, and I get about a month out of a 20lb tank...I refill at a local welding supply for $15.00 plus tax...Paid for itself first time right out of the box....

 

[steeZz]

Gotcha, I guess it's worth it though.

Fuck me, checking for bugs in that jungle must be hellova task man!
At this point, I know if I get spidermites im fucked, so I dont even look anymore lol!

 

[Mr.Natural]

I know little fuckers!!! Yeah, too bad for me.haha.. it's getting very sticky down in there....hehehe
The one bad thing about the co2 is I don't get to play in the garden like I used to..... I'm gonna pull the hot shot strip out of there in a few days, don't want to get toxic....but the damn thing is good as gold....

 

[steeZz]

Is the co2 bad for you to be in there? how does that work?
or is it just cause you need it to be sealed in there so you gotta be quick?

 

[Mr.Natural]

It's the sealed up thing... I have a analog timer set at 15 mins on then 15 off.... If I can manage to stay out it holds the co2 long enough in between cycles. It's hard to stay out......

I know what you mean, haha. I was stressing out all weekend when I was visiting family. I had images of a tornado coming through my grow, and I live in Cali. I did find 4 broken branches when I got home, but it would probably have happen even if I had been home.

Plants are looking so crazy, makes me think of Welcome to the Jungle haha.

I read about that on your thread. What happened? Equipment failure? Quake?


I'm usually more of a Les Paul Custom kind of guy but damn these guys bring it!!I couldn't help myself, had to share....

That's so badass. Do they have carbon fiber cellos...wtf!? Awesome. I'm about to watch the rest of their videos haha.

 

[Mr.Natural]

We need smell-a-net! I wish I could share the aromas....


Getting mighty sticky in there!!

Grape God

Jack the Ripper

Island Sweet Skunk

Violator Kush trying to make a come back....go baby go...

 

[Lanternslight]

Look beautiful!

On a side note, 'Shadowcat Jr.' I feel like it is a good name for the hydro guy...we were talking about CO2 and he convinced me it isn't a good idea for my setup. Waste of money and resources, due to the size of my op. He said when you "drop" CO2 you should have an off period for your venting of 5 min, then a "drop" of 5 min, then vent on after 5 min.

 

[Mr.Natural]

That depends on how large the grow space is. For a small area like a tent, even one as big as Mr.Ball's, especially something smaller like yours or mine the venting is no big deal. Co2 is heavier than air, as long has you don't vent close to the canopy your good to go ........They make simple test tubes that I use to check my Co2 levels....I don't guess at any of it. I know that I still have a level of 1300 PPM 15 mins after the solenoid shuts off the regulator. It's all about saturation levels and keeping them above 1000 PPM...The timer is set at 15 because that's the smallest time available on my analog timer...I'd be interested in hearing about what this guy use's for a timer....Ideally a sealed room is enriched and no venting for hours is how commercial growers set up to save Co2. For a large area it can be costly. Eventually I will invest in a nice auto level sensing controller. For now though the timer works well, and co2 is cheap...I got 4 more ounces from my previous runs before co2 in my old cab. That covered the extra expense first time I used it.....Get a few runs in, dial in your setup nice and smooth, then think about co2...

Word. He probably uses a digital timer like from Titan or those little generic white ones with two outlets. I have also heard of using a laptop to do all your newts and junk. Wish that was more than a rumor. I would love to log into my computer remotely and see what is going on in the tent. Sure would help when I want to visit family.

What are the test tubes you use? Did I miss them in the thread?

i sleep in my grow

i like the solid looking nuggins though
