Burnt tip from touching the CFL. Nothing to worry about. .... I think you may be overwatering though (droopy leaf) . Since you're using CFL, the plant won't drink as much as it would with HID. ... wait a little longer between feeds..... JMO.

I have been watering every morning....I'll back that off to every second day...thanks for the feedback

I could tell.

maybe even feed on the 3rd day. w/ 2 day break. ... atm

OMG i need to share this.. I had some trouble with my girls in the dwc and decided to transfer to Hempy´s. Its been 3 days since transfer and i have been scratching my head as to why they didnt seem satisfied. (Drooping leaf´s) First i made a flush cause i was worried about overfert. Then i gave a light feed and got worried about overwatering. You know how it is.. Just wanna get it perfect, cant think of anything else! Then suddenly it hit me! CO2!! The 600w aircooled 30cm from tops was just to much for the girls without enough co2.
So diy co2 bottle and 3 hours later the girls look like they want more light! Stretching their arms at the light Had to share this, crazy how a little co2 bottle can do so much. Damn a difference bet now they can take up a hole lot more nutes Bad pic but u see the stretch

Okay guys, after 3 years without them, they're back, everyone's favorite - fucking spider mites.

A good thread on killing spider mites....

Here are the girls at 3 weeks flower. Just got finished giving them a haircut to open up more bud sites to some sun.

To be fair, it would have taken 3 days for them to get happy after transplant anyway. (not saying the CO2 didn't help though)

Nice work Hydro. How did you make the CO2?

 

[Txchilies]

If ever in doubt a soda bottle 1/3 full with warm water, a 1/4 cup of table sugar, a teaspoon of yeast. Place a balloon over the top of the bottle poke a few holes in the balloon with a straight pin and shake it all up. You can place it in the pot, or tie string around the neck and hang from your light at the tops of your plants. This way they get the full effect. Works well in tents that have heat issues, or even if you just want to give your plants that extra boost. Best to be placed with plants just before light go off.

Plants don't photosynthesize at night surely extra CO2 would be better utilized during lights on?

Moe you are correct, but I did find this.

CO2 ENRICHMENT GUIDE

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used by plants in photosynthesis, or the conversion of water, atmospheric carbon dioxide and light in the plant's chloroplasts into food energy (simple carbohydrates), with oxygen as a byproduct. Resins and saps in the plants stems and branches then transmit this food around the plant to promote growth, reproduction and prevention of disease.

Photosynthesis stops at night, thus plants do not use CO2 during the night, or lights-out stage. Although enrichment of the atmosphere during the night cycle will not harm the plants, efficient CO2 systems are regulated so that when the lights go out, CO2 emissions stop.

Ambient air at sea level contains approximately 350-500 ppm of carbon dioxide. Higher altitudes and rural locations typically have a lower presence of CO2, while lowlands and urban areas have a higher presence. CO2 can be measured, in parts per million (ppm) of air, using an inexpensive device available in hydroponics supply catalogs and garden shops (approx US$20).

Carbon dioxide enrichment involves increasing the concentrations of CO2 to 4-5 times the normal atmospheric levels, to between 1200-1500 ppm in an enclosed space. Enrichment has been shown to promote faster growth, higher yields, and stronger, healthier plants. Levels higher than 2000 ppm have been shown to retard plant growth. Low levels of CO2 (below 200) have been show to halt vigorous growth, even when all other conditions are ideal. Because of this, any enclosed space requires replenishment of the internal CO2 as it is used by plants, either from ventilation or from CO2 supplementation.

I dont think they got to stressed by the transplant. I was really carefull They didnt stop growing thats 100.
Yeah like he said Only i do it in a 2l Bottle 3 cups of sugar and 10g yeast 1 Liter warm water. Shake shake shake and a little more shake. Poke a couple holes in the top and let the co2 free Hope it will give me a good 7days.
Yeah co2 at night does not matter.

The simplest form of CO2 enrichment is just to run the grow-light at night and off during the day.

Ambient/Outside CO2 levels are higher during the night than the day. By having the lights on during the night, a grower can take advantage of the increased levels.

I used to do this but because I want cooler night temps for GDP I have now switched.

As with my 2g fermentation bucket with brewers bubbler atop shown earlier in this thread, I think Tex is allowing for one dark period for the fermentation to kick in...there is a bit of a lag there before yeast starts partying with the sugar. Yeast needs some dark too get get motivated...Always cover your bread dough with a towel while it rises. I'll be using my fermentation bucket in the tent this grow again...need to get things moving since I'm behind the clock...it's nice sound in there too as it burps when lights come on and warms the brew. The smell is more aggreeable with champagne yeast...the most aggressive kind for producing CO2.

Ive been thinking about bread since you mentioned a bread maker back on your pizza post. ... I'm going to start baking for the first time ever next week when I buy the tins etc.

hmmm I can't wait, can almost smell it already.

edit:
I don't think Tex was talking about a lag-time but your point is noted.

 

[Moebius]

Hey Guy's.

So what do you think about the 'mono-nutes' by Canna? ... A good idea? Interesting range? ... or ... Not really interested? Too tricky?

Opinions appreciated.

Never thought of it like that but you are right, after mixing a batch to brew be it beer or wine I do place it in a dark warm place. Though champaign yeast is some pretty strong stuff I have found that true brewers yeast (the kind commercial distillers use) lasts alittle longer than bread or champaign yeasts.

I like the idea of it and after further review of the product line, a possible way through trial and error to improve a grow. I think some might find it to time consuming to mix all thoughs and as well the overall cost for each. The one suppliment that has caught my eye the most would be the Trace, as I find I more issues with those than Calcium, Magnesium or the NPK.

I thought that through trial and error one could possibly improve a grow, essentially that's what we do anyhow. .. I used to hate mixing nutes but since I have my big bin to mix them up in, I find it really easy. I also have about 20-30 syringes of various sizes and measuring shot glasses, so its simple now.

I like the idea of whilst using my base nutes to be able to give a ml of (N) to boost green. micro doses of Trace or Calcium or Mg. Not too sure about the P and K.

As far as cost. Because its not used as the base nute but rather as an additive it will last longer. ... I checked the price and the whole range is cheaper than many tiny bottles of bloom additives (e.g Plagron Green Sensation)

I'm going to probably try 3 or 4 of the range just to see if I'm able to treat lockout's by boosting certain elements ... and generally just to see what happens. ....

atm I'm using MagneCal+, big bud and so far I think theyre good. ... What differentiates the Canna range is that they (unlike many) list exactly whats in the bottle on the label.

 

[whocares100]

I learned a lot today, I have a lot of male plants, I threw 4 out of the vault ready and 2 more suspected....I'll know soon.

I checked the boom room, that's where I veg the older plants to get ready to flower. I think I have a few females in there...I will know soon, old eyes so give me a break.

I did notice some coming into maturity so I'll check them all with their next watering...

And I found my lost Cheese seed, now I have 3...it had not sprouted, so I just left it in the towel and added more...well it must have sprouted, cause it looks just like the other two Cheese plants I have in there. Good cause that was an expensive seed.

Moe I have a very easy bread recipe, I bake bread all the time, especially in the winter...I use a brick oven heated by a rocket stove outside in the summer....oh it makes great pizza too...

Using to boost a base nute, I can see that. Like you I have the syringes from 1 mL to 60 mL, but looking at it from the common grower that just wants bud as cheap and quick as possible is what I was thinking for time and cost.

Since going to hempy method, my reason less labor and better production rate both quality and quantity. The option to boost certain nutes like nitrogen or potassium or any trace element at a given time would be a benifit.
