So nothing better to do with my time than to post a college grow! SWIM has an aero that is safely tucked away in a closet far from campus. I am not going to lie; most of the good pointers came from this forum.
Like Mylar from Wal-Mart for 2$. Steal.
Ripping of the gardens hood and many others...
In the beginning two weeks of life I had hacked the aero and lowered the lights so they were no more than 3 inches from the leafs at all times. In my experience, having the lights this close allows for the most lumen absorption and of course bushy plants. You will notice some Mylar wrapped around a few pieces of cardboard just to give some more light to the bottom of the leafs. With all of the extra additions put into this small grow op, and on top of the limited college fund plan, a DIY co2 injector was created with a little bit of aquarium plumbing and a gallon jug plus yeast+sugar+water. I replace the mixture every three days.
The addition of a 70watt HPS used purely for flowering has brought more growth than I ever expected. Bought the 3pak fox farm nutes and have been using the hydro schedule at ½ strength at the end of the first week of veg. I will note that I had a little burn at the tips of leaves due to this; however I just wanted to jump the gun.
A lot has changed in the last few days. I started flowering on Friday Oct 10th 2008. 12/12 no doubt. What resulted was tons of new growth, with the reservoir having to be refilled sometimes more than once a day, and a very strong odor.
Now for the Questions and Answer section.
Q: Is there any point in the flowering cycle when the light can be increased to 14/10 or 13/11?
Q: is the odor really that bad with just one plant indoors?
Q: has anybody tried loading the co2 directly into the reservoir. I have heard that roots will absorb the carbon dioxide, however wouldnt the surface area of the fan leaves be enough to take in all the necessary gases?
P.S. the latest these pics are dated is Oct 8th
