Experienced Grower Desires Input From Other Pro's on YIELD, HARVEST DATE W/ CO2


  • So hello everyone. First time posting, long time reader. I've been gardening now for 3-4 years and recently expanded to a larger system after working through all of my growing pains. I currently am running:

    1 10 x 10 Jardin Grow Tent
    33 Plants, 5 gallon containers soil, veg 2 months
    3 1kw HPS on 6 ft light rails (circular max distribution hoods for these lamps)
    1 600 w HPS stationary in the back center
    CO2 tank system with an environmental controller keeping everything dialed in
    ppm's are currently at 1250 during the day and 550 at night, during weeks 1-2 they were at 1250 ppm, then 2-6 dropped to 950, now back up to 1250 for weeks 6-9??


    The exhaust from this tent is then pumped into

    1 5 x 10 Jardin Grow Tent
    2 600 w HPS stationary with 10 plants, 5 gallon soil containers, veg 2 months
    SCROG Setup
    This room is having the CO2 filled exhaust from the other tent pumped into the intake.
    The SCROG in this room is completely filled as the 2 month veg has allowed for a nice even canopy

    This is all then being timed to exhaust into the rest of the open air basement room at certain intervals to maintain slight negative pressure in the tents. I know I'm wasting CO2, it's incredibly cheap and readily available to me (lucky me!!!!) so I don't care. I get about 2.5-3 weeks a tank doing it this way so the cost is negligible, just not ready to switch to a fully sealed room. temps are steady at low to mid 80's during day, low 60's at night.
    I'm using Botanicare Nutrients Line and am also supplementing with good old molasses.
    I have about 3-4 weeks left at most and was wondering-

    What do you think my expected yield should be considering all these factors?
    What would be the ideal plant technique for this type of environmental conditions (same tents, lights, CO2) Looking for input on plant techniques and plant counts as well as strain suggestions?

    I'm currently running about Barney's- (50% Sweet Tooth in the 100sqft, 25% tangerine dream, 15% g-13 haze), and 10% Purple Power Plant. In the 50sqft, I have a tent of 80% blue dream and 20% grape ape.

    Any thoughts? Hoping to pull in between 7-10 lbs, though I think having some of those sativa-ish strains in there are going to affect my ability to do that.



 
Welcome Supershroomer! Sounds like a very nice setup. I don't think your expectations are unreasonable as long as you are a good grower. The strains sound yummy and powerful.
