I was thinking of running CO2 but I'm not sure how that would pan out in my tent being sealed up and temps dropping down as low 52F.
Yes sir. I run a mini split in a tent. 2x600's magnum xxxl's
If I remember correctly wouldn't CO2 raise the temps of my tent? I might look into getting a CO2 set up after I get some photoperiod strains grown and a 2nd tent running.
This^^^^. Co2 is most effective during veg and early flowering. So true. Alot of people dont know this. And alot of people dont use co2 very efficiently. Putting gas into a periodically vented room is not nearly as effective as actually using a monitor and sealing the room up. Keep that gas in there at all times during lights on is the way to do it. And in veg it builds a nice stout structure for huge buds later on. You can tell co2 vegged plants and non co2 ones like night and day. Shorter....WAY bushier...deep green huge healthy leaves....extremely thick stems. I too wouldnt bother with gas unless you spring for a mini split and a gas ppm monitor/sniffer. If your refilling tanks less than a week or more....your wasting it...your plants arent getting it like they should and your doing something wrong.
With co2....to do it rite.....there isnt one. The cheapest part is the regulator and solenoid if your using bottled gas. To do it rite skip the old school timer bullshit. Get a sniffer at about 450$ a pop. Then you need to seal thw room. If you do that you will most likely need air conditioning. And you need a unit that doesnt vent air. You can get cheap and silly with venting a window shaker in a mcguyver sort of way but really you need a mini split. And those cost thousands depending on your room size. Then you will prolly need a nice dehumidifier.....dude its expensive as hell. You can grow very high quality crops without all that. Most go this route. Saving up cash as they go along and after a few harvests they invest up into the high dollar equipment thag cranks out bumper yields.
.....for sure nevermind then. I'll take slightly less yields for now and invest a few years down the road then.
Join the crowd...this is how most people starting out growing do it.
Time to trim some ladies up
I think thats why I'm wanting to go bigger! Times have changed and I feel I could handle a bigger grow. I admire @chrondidily , his grow and wanna grow up to be like him!
Im slowly just going to trim them up while theyre hanging and dry in the tent and cut an manicure and put into jars when theyre dry. Should be about a week. Thanks for the kind words yo!I think thats why I'm wanting to go bigger! Times have changed and I feel I could handle a bigger grow. I admire @chrondidily , his grow and wanna grow up to be like him!
I'm working on the wife to let me build something like a 8x20 room in the garage.....overkill from a 4x4?
@chrondidily how are you going to be trimming? Right from the upside down scrog? Letting them stay in the tent to dry? I've been worried about my drying and curing process as I was going to hang mine in the garage for a few days then move them into jars.
I literally just flipped the trellis upside down and everything stayed in place haha, worked out pretty well!
Ive got a small army coming over this weekend to knock it all out!
