    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    I understand the "fine tuning" of the other inputs, but it's not really rocket science. It's hotter, growing faster, transpiring faster, needs more water.. I'm not sure when you say increase nutes? Is that your experience? Only nute I've seen tied to enriched co2 is nitrogen, and you would...

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    Well, sounds like you're saying you think lighting a votiv in room each day would probably have a tangible effect?

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    I hear you, I've found reason enough to not use it til now. But I don't think it's snake oil. Again, it's CO2, basically CO2 + H2O + light = plant. Hundreds of studies on hundreds of species, seems as a general rule 300 ppm increase leading to 20%-30% increase in size and yield of plants as a...

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    Hey JS, Exactly. That's what I'm saying, there are many times where nature is very conducive to running co2, I.e., time where if the room is sealed, the temps get good for co2 but not so hot that I'd need an ac. But again, I gotta disagree with your timing and conditions of when to use co2...

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    That's the thing with the yeast, it seems like maybe it could work real well, or maybe it's nothing levels of co2. I just don't know and can't find any figures, just people telling how to make it. I'm not one to just try out hocus pocus, especially if it smells. My inclination is that it's not...

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    Right on. Yeah, I looked into the yeast/sugar "co2 generator" idea, looks plausible, but it's bugged me that haven't found study or info on how much co2 is produced. If you have any idea, that'd be awesome. I agree that I don't want to get into it without a co2 controller, and that bumping up...

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    Cool man, thanks for the share. Yes, I'm blessed with having a very solid climate base and palliate. The outdoor climate combined with my existing climate control is more than adequate to ensure optimal climate, and great latitude to control direction of both temp and humidity. Like I said...

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    Or if you really want to stick to coco, you could put a heater on a timer in the green house to only run 4 or five hours at night.. You just need to give them a more comfy environment. Cannabis adapted to harsh climates and developed the resins and traits that really get unlocked when grown in...

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    What is the humidity where I hear you, that's gotta be so frustrating. Well, what I would do is switch to soil and build the simplest of green houses to get them cozier. I've only used coco as a minor ingredient, but am aware of the properties and would bet it's making your outdoor grow more...

    NPK Industries?

    It is sad and stupid, CA is such a nanny state. They just made my rifle an "assault" rifle, hell, I just found out it's totally legal to buy magic mushroom spores in the rest of the country... I do totally get you on the reasoning for raw minerals, that line of thinking is what draws me in this...

    To CO2 or not to CO2? That is the Question.

    Hey man, Thanks for the input, but I don't have an inline fan because I don't need one, point of the post, my natural environment is quite kind, and I have the luxury of opening the room to the outdoors to a greater extent than most, so like I said, with the climate, combined with humidifier...

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    Hahaha. That is funny, stupid weed laws are so funny. I live in California, here it is ILLEGAL to grow it outside (public nuisance :P ) but it is LEGAL to grow inside as long as 12 plants or less. Funny.

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    Seriously, if you just brought it indoors and got a 250 watt, or t5s, or anything really, I bet it'd be 10x better. You don't have a corner to do that in, at least while they are young?

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    Again, just the overall climate. They look so stressed. You said they are outside? Or on a window sill? How cold do they get? When you say it went excellent last time, how much different was it from this? What's different?

    Foliar Feeding Anyone??

    Foliar feeding is super important. No reason not to be feeding them some level of something every single day. (and rinsed every day) A couple points: * always add a wetting agent. Use yucca, it's simple and natural. The water wont bead in droplets, it will form an even film across the whole...

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    But in general.. Have you considered planting a seed in soil and just getting into the habit of watching a plant grow successfully without being the sole source of it's perfect feed every feed, when this is your first grow? Soil isn't as sexy as hydro these days, (which coco essentially is...

    Coco 3 week old in trouble

    hey man, Those things just seem to be growing in an environment not conducive to marijuana. Netherlands got so good at hydro because the weather sucks, right? I'd say virtually an indoor light would get them healthier. Then maybe transplant outside when more robust? I've grown plants on...

    NPK Industries?

    I guess a side question would be does anyone have thoughts on commercial powder lines? Lotus and Gringo Rasta look ok but basic grow/bloom. AM Hydro looks interesting but just blends. A lot of the big companies have good powder products sprinkled into their line (Big Bud, Bud Blood, Fox Farm's...

    NPK Industries?

    Thanks man, appreciate it. Though unfortunate, can't hold the microbe thing against company. Btw, are you saying you added the veg + flower microbes at the same time, or separate? I hear you with the phasing in new products while having current stuff. But the more I've been looking into it...
