End of week 6 Are these nugs normal size

Phobz said:

Thanks for the comments. I have been debating on co2 for my next run. But wont be happening on this run anyway. I am on a pretty tight schedule though . I might be able to drag it to 3 weeks vs 2. But will 1 extra week make such a significant difference in yield that it will be worth quite a bit of inconvinience?

One week can make a big difference , but if your dealing with time issues due to house inspections or having to go away somewhere , a week early is better than leaving it another week and loosing the lot I guess.... I love to leave them as long as possible to get 25% amber and 75% cloudy triches , but that's just me , heres a pic of what mine look like at that stage

Ya that looks good . I get what you mean I guess i just have to drag it till the last possible day . Again thnx for the comments

In my opion and experice those last weeks are critical for packing on weight .....youll see the buds gets 25 to 50% larger in the last weeks of your grow....and man trust me!....get some Co2 supplement seal your grown and get your humidty and tempature right.and youll be happy with your yield home boy.....hope it helps

Sounds like co2 is a great thing.... I'm a bit of a lazy grower , and don't go to technical in my unit as its all just for myself , but is there a way of making your co2 automated ? To make it an easy addition to your unit or is it quite an involved process?

Actuactly it can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be ....you van make a basic Co2 emitter yourself with yeast sugar water two bottles and some air tubes,...or you can buy a Co2 scrubber that generates Co2 at a regulated scale and you can just set it to the level you want.....just google Co2 scrubbers or youtube how to make a Co2 emitter

mushrooms will also add co2, for your size area that's impractical unless you know someone with lots of mushrooms growing that will lend you some bags or tubs lol but I thought I'd add that to the co2 discussion. However for someone with a smaller grow and a knack for growing things a few bags of oyster mushrooms in the tent could make a difference, and when they fruit you can cook em!

Hi i am farely new to this and i have a question .Strain is San Fernando Og. I am at end of week 6 out of 8 and i feel these nugs are a pretty small. Ive seen finished product in 8 week run and they looked alot bigger . Are they small or will they quadruple up in size in the last 14 days?

U got like 3 weeks to go

Phobz said:

So in 14 days these wont be good to harvest?

NO!

Looking like you have feed the ever loving shit out of them I can see burn on your plants I have the best luck with feed water feed water week to week

You don't need CO2 for better yield. You would need more heat to open the stomata, increase metabolism and respiration, and the increase would be negligible. I'm sure he'll be fine by harvest, without spending extra on heat and CO2.

Stomatas open in good conditions not due to heat. Plants use their guard cells to close the stomata in high heat to conserve moister. So plants like C4 don't open them till night time when the heat is at its lowest and humidity is at its highest.

With the addition of CO2, heat can be higher since the stomata doesn't have to be as open to get enough CO2 to complete the dark reactions in the leaves.

While I will agree with high heat caused by CO2 generators can almost cancel to good of adding CO2, and tanks are expensive and add another degree of complications. If you use the CO2 generator as a source of heat then you can and do get a boost in growth. Providing that all other conditions are optimal.

However, CO2 really isn't too cost effective, and is not used unless the grow environments are sealed to prevent pest and desease. Replacing bulbs more often will get you more bang for your buck than adding CO2.

If you want to add CO2, make sure you have nothing else you can do. Perfect your nutrients levels, keep the enviroment with in the optimal range, if you growing in soil, then ditch the soil and go Hydro. Many better options that can be used before investing in CO2.

I think they look tasty myself.....anyhow yes you have a while togo like everyone has said.

I should also add that heat does not determine rate of metabolism. The enzymes used to break down sugars in the mitochondria, and or control reaction durning the Kreb cycle etc... Too much heat can render them inactive so it is best to keep the heat within the optimal range.

In fact most money should be spent on controlling the enviroment or the grow should be done in a place that makes it easy to control enviroment. Basements with geothermal cooling tend to be a good place.that and CO2 is a heavy molecule and sinks.

I would add a week and see if they look ready then. I didn't look into the strain but they look like hybrids and OG sounds like a Kush which is indica. I would say, if everything else has been good, that you may have a more saliva leaning pheno/'s. Mostly because Kush likes to get nice and fat around week 5 and then just pack on the pounds. I really like how they will eat up PK like crazy vs sativa leaners that don't react quite as strong to the addition of PK.

Either way, I would just keep adding a week or day till they look nice and ripe and swollen. I like the Look of the calyxes being all swollen!!

Ya they are on a pretty heavy nute diet with no breaks. Im probably going to pull them in 2 1/2 weeks. Unfortunately time is not on my side. Again thnx for all the comments

You'll need to have your heat and humidity higher. Like I said, the heat increases metabolism (eating/using nutrients) and respiration (CO2 exchange), and the heat and humidity open up the stomata and the plant works harder to build more faster. If you don't have proper lighting, which pumps all of that stuff (metabolism, circulation, respiration, etc.) it isn't going to do anything.

This is exactly right first and foremost without the proper lighting humidity air flow and tempature its pointless to run Co2
