personal preference with the CO2. i wouldn't do it, because i would think i'm washing of trichs, but i've heard of some bloom foods that foliar fed. so it might be non-issue spraying. my other concern would be fungus/rot with getting the buds wet. if you're going to spray, do it early so the moisture has time to evaporate before lights out (cooler temps at night) and try to avoid buds, mist the bottom sides of the leaves as opposed to all over. aim for the underside of larger fan leaves and avoid the buds. should do alright. (this is opinion and some reading speaking, not personal practice)
plants look very healthy. keep it up!!

thanks for the response, i always mist when the lights first come on and then last about 6-8hrs before lights out, ta for the advice (noted) and comment
:)

PS got a couple of extra 23w i might try throwing in there later - £1 each at Asda I also noticed they are doing mechanical timers at the mo for £2 (might havee been 3) should any peeps need one

not to speak for mogwai. but this is a grow journal. questions like that belong in your own in the general marijuana growing section. to answer your question. yes. you can. now go start a thread and use the forum properly.

Yo mog, IMHO I think you should tie back some of those branches and more the light closer in to allow the light to penetrate the inner nodes.
It will keep the height of the plant down, create better branching and produce more bud. I know its a little late for a full LST but all plants can
benefit from tying back branches especially if your growing with CFLs.

your harvest will more than likely suck. don't start growing for a few months. read some books. read the growFAQ here. ask some questions. learn as much as you can. even if you have good genetics, lack of knowledge will hold back your grow.

cheers breezy, any comments welcome ;) whilst i was considering lst i'm going to leave it now what with only noth 30 days or so left i don't think the benefit of taking it away from the light to grow back to light is there - if you know what i mean - props though for being the first to catch the issue i was aware of ;)

i wouldn't stress those are still reasonably safe temps.
if anything it might give you some purple/blue buds.
UNLESS its genetic that's the only way to color your buds.
some call it stress and say its bad, but if your plant is healthy strong (which yours look)
little purple bud never hurt anybody.

I was hoping some one would say that :) Especially as I think it's a G13 Purple Lady ;) (freeby from attitude)

hmmm not sure if i have a problem, but the smell of my plant has changed and my first thought was bud rot. I've checked her over and can see now signs in terms of colour and the pin leave all hold firm when pulled, my humidty has never gone over 83% and that was only a couple of times a couple of weeks ago, it normally is aorund 70% when lights go on and drops to about 50% - currently at 60% I have stuck a fan in with her at the mo and am keeping my fingers crossed any thoughts people?

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Well another week another set of photos. Points of note since last photos - Fan has ben added, this suprisingly (for me anyway!) lifts the temp, must be stirring up the hot air sitting at top of cupboard, I'm guessing that partly due to the cooler temps and partly genetics that's why most of the leaf stalks have now turned purlpe :) Major issue I noticed though was today and you can see it in the 4th to last photo, (brown bit is minor burn from bulb) - leaf tip curl, only on a few leaves, tonight was it's next scheduled feed so I have used pure H2O . That's all folks :bigjoint:
