Not sure what you mean by finding balls lol. I don't do hydro. So you're saying CO2 will also help reduce temps? Makes sense, my little CO2 cartridges that I clean my Mosquito Magnet with get frosted up when released.

Finding balls = going herm.

CO2 will not effectively drop the temp, but CO2 supplementation allows plants to continue photosythesis at higher temperatures (which also serves evolutionary evidence in support of CO2 induced climate change, incidentally). Without supplemental CO2 plants stop photosynthesis at about 85. A plant that is not photosynthesizing is stressing, which causes male flower production.

duh lol

So how is the blue widow doing I got a freebie from the tude I heard it a great strain some pheno types even smell like grape fruit

 

[tet1953]

I had a freebie. I grew it 5-6 times, great strain. Nice fat nugs.

 

[tet1953]

Wow..six days from cut lol

 

[dubba86]

Well that's that for the blue widow grow. The tops on them got massive and very very dense One of my plants hermd on me, still great bud
i got about 10 seeds from it plan on trying to use them.... thanks everyone for your input, advice, etc!!!!

If you want a perpetual harvest Sample smoke from each of them before you're ready to chop them down when trichomes are cloudy or to your liking and test the smoke from each plant. Then select your favorite one and instead of Harvesting all of your favorite one Leave a good amount of fan leaves on bottom growth of the plant and throw it right back into veg 24-7 or 18-6 after 1 to 2 weeks she will continue to grow Vegetative and that can become your new mother plant for clones/faster harvests

 

[tet1953]

I have to disagree about reveg. I've tried it, more than once actually. Sure, it can be done but usually it takes a long time for the plant to revert back to veg, and the end result is far from stellar also. I have rotations going perpetually using clones, much better.

 

[Jpzooyork]

Btw Hopefully you got some male seeds too dubba in so you can experiment breeding some Blue widow with some other favorite strain and see what you can come up with

 

[dubba86]

I really have no interest in re-vegging plants or doing experimental breeding at this time.

 

[Jpzooyork]

Yeah that's true tet but thats what i Mean after reveg I like to take clones from the re veged (mother)so you can keep all the traits you love about her most. 😄But your right it does take some time to get her to revert but when she does you can still grow your favorite outcome/phenotype without starting from seed and get as many clones as you want from the perfect mother.

 

[Jpzooyork]

Nice roots after a week tet is that a green c or pinapple clone? 😄

 

[tet1953]

That one happens to be Pineapple Express.

 

[Jpzooyork]

ahh my favorite nice!!

 

[tet1953]

I take my clones just before switching to flower, same day usually. It works out so by the time those cuts are rooted, potted and get to a decent height and are ready for big pots, the room they came from is being harvested.

 

[Jpzooyork]

perfect that's a great rotation btw saw your grow journal love your set up and your results man great job! funny thing for probably the past 7 years i've been doing indoor gardening i've always followed riu and grass city and others and never really got involved but i have to say tet it feels good to be connected into a community with people who all do the same as you it's great and thanks to everyone here for answering all my questions as i had a lot sitting on the sidelines and reading posts from growers from all over and learning for almost a decade lol waiting for the best state for me to move to and pursue what i love doing. and it's looking like maine is it next year

Hi Dubba,
I imagine you're kinda busy, but I was curious about the final output of your crop.
i don't need to know numbers, but was your harvest significantly larger than previous grows?
I'm going to purchase a 600 watt HPS this week.
The only reason I ask is that pictures are sometimes deceiving, and it looks like you more than doubled your other harvests.
The buds look stellar.
Thanks for your time.

 

[tet1953]

I have never flowered with T5s but I know people who have. I would be very surprised if yield was not at least double, if not triple with HPS.

Hey, Its all cut hanging and drying so I can't give you numbers right now as I'm Curious too. But yeah I know I doubled if not more with this new set up.

 

[dubba86]

just out these in the flower tent, OG Kush, Pineapple, L.S.D
I'll post some final crop pictures of them, but I'm not gonna do a week to week update
