Welcome, and yes I see you have a couple of threads for a single question. You don't have to do it again, everytime you post in a thread it brings it back up for others to view and comment. Please start A Journal and post it all together.
JonnyK what she said is right. VV

Hello! I'm new... Anyways, I was wondering if anyone can tel me how to make hash & hash oil???

And does anyone do anything with the leaves from their plants? Or are they just trash? Just started growin' for the first time

Welcome to the forum Gub. Do a search in faq second button upper left of this page. Several threads that tell different methods. VV

rite now they are 7 weeks and only 1' tall. They are cloned female. does it matter how long my plants grow for. i have white hairs all over the plant at least a quarter of an inch long with growth of buds. i want to know if it matters if i let them grow for another 2 months or so to try and maximize yield. this is my first time growing. remember they are clones from a female. when i got them they were already 3 weeks old and pistoled. they were also on a 12/12 cycle.

You must be close to maturity ,check FAQ's to see how to tell.

Thank you, Thank you!!

Hi there...this is my first post BTW...

Anywho-
So I was setting up my first grow room today and I was doing some calculations for my Dry Ice co2 enrichment/AC system. I want to use dry ice because it is a very good refridgerant and it is relatively cheap. Ok so before I get my pics of my grow room...lemme give you some background...
It is in a closet, it is approximately 8' X 7' X 3', which is about 168 cu. ft.

SO I wanted to find out about the feasibility and cost of using dry ice to enrich your co2 levels and help with cooling. I found out that my space is about 4800 Liters, so I used my existing knowledge that 1000 ppm is a good enrichment level and that 1000 ppm also happens to be exactly 1g/1000ml.

Therefore, if I need 1g for every L...Then in a sealed compartment, I would need exactly 4.8 kg of Dry Ice to increase my enrichment level to 1000 ppm.

Because of the heat in most grow rooms this seems like the ventilation would just carry both the cool air and co2 out of the room. I have two possible solutions to this issue.

The first of the two is what I am gonna try. I am going to rig up a pump out of a bucket and a fish filter. This will syphon water out of one bucket and in to a bucket with Dry Ice in it. This pump will be on a secondary timer which will start about 1-2 hrs before my light and fans turn on. (Except maybe my ambient air fan) When the pump turns on, the Dry Ice will rapidily be turned in to gaseous state, and as the 4.8 kg Dry Ice finishes changing state, it will be about time for my primary timer to turn on my "HPS Powered Sun."

The second option would be to position the dry ice under the plants in a try with some water in it. This should allow for the dry ice to increase the co2 levels but in this case I would turn off my ventilation fans and ambient air fan. The plan is for the room to heat up over 90 degrees but I am hoping that the extreme sub-zero temperature of the Dry Ice plus it's location directly under plants will keep the temp from rising over 95 degrees. This option needs a little more planning and I am looking for any pieces of advise...

My first attempt will be with option 1, mostly because of the slightly higher risk involved with option 2, but my plan is to keep a constant co2 flow out of that bucket, but I do not plan on monitoring the PPM or stopping the ventilation. I will post pictures of all my McGiver-ized equipment and let you know about how it turns out...Please post any comments or questions and I hope this turns out to work well.

Im new to this site !! how the hell do I post a thread ?

how do I post a thread to ask my question? I can only reply to others!!

Welcome to the forum. Wow, you know a lot more about that than I do. You won't need, and your plants can't use extra co2 until the flowering stage. You need to start a journal. I tell you how in just a second, at least one way.

smokintreezhow do I post a thread to ask my question? I can only reply to others!!

Welcome treez, here is what I do. I will click on the subject that I want to start a thread in, Lets say I want to start a Grow Journal. I would click on that subject, Grow Journals, its the last entry in every thread line, Subject. When you click on that it takes you to the Grow Journal Forum, you will see there are a few there. At the top left hand corner it says like New Thread or Start a Thread, some thing like that. Click on it, enter your Title, and share your plan. Details are helpful, pictures are a must. Before you are done with your post, Scroll down to the bottom where it says notification, and make sure you are getting notified if someone posts in your thread, That way, you can put all of your unanswered questions in one spot. I think you start out in Advanced Mode, if not select Go Advanced. This will allow you to post pictures right in the thread. You just scroll down to Manage Attachments>Brings up a new WIndow were you can Browse> and Upload>Close this Window> and Preview Post. They will show up as thumbnails in the bottom of the post. Submit Reply.
We do have a Grow Journal Contest going, GardenKnowm is heading that one up, check it out, second place is still open. lol Welcome VV

I know about the co2 and the flowering stage. I was just trying to get some early feedback. I talked to my hippie chemistry professor and he seems to think it will work but only if the concentration is sustained while the light is on. He said it was because a plant actually puts out a crap ton of co2 during the night phases because it requires light to process the co2. So what he suggested for my "tomato plants," was to move to a three step process. First allow the water to speed up the co2 sublimation (Evaporation) and then when that is about done have the hps turn on, then leave the fan off and for the first couple times watch the temp and find a suitable amount of time to wait and turn on the exhaust. He says the co2 should stabilize the temp for probably 30 min to 1 hour, but then it will rise.

So, I have heard 90-95 degrees farenheit, is pretty optimum for co2 enriched environments, so I will let you know when my temps get to that region and that will be my mark to start the exhaust. I think this should work well and if a professional chemist says it is a viable option for "tomato plants," then I think it will work for some Cannibus Indica.

Hey I m New here and I have found many answers, thanks

ok very new and excited to have found this place!!!!! i am using a 1gal pot and just used some potting soil from the store after reading all this info im really confused. I planted about 5 weeks ago and have two plants, both seem to be doing well. i leave them outside and am in nw florida they get about 12 hours of sunlight and i just leave them outside for the night. i just started using a plant food that is10-15-10 will this be ok for now and then when do i change to a higher potassium and phosphate i got a liquid

Welcome to the site.
First I don't think you realize that you can edit your own post after you submit it by clicking on edit at the bottom right corner. Much better to do this than submit the same or slightly different post several times.
That said, your fertilizer sounds better for the flowering stage than the vegatative stage . You want high nitrogen (the first number) for veg and high pottasium (the second number) for flowering.
Watering depends on your grow medium (soil, coco coir, peat etc. ). If you stick your finger in the soil and its wet - don't water, if dry - water, probably be about every 2-3 days.
Happy growing!

hey new member i found a lot of good info here already and have just started my first grow

Hey all,

LOL I bet you're wondering what's with the name? It's my codename for MJ... Don't ask. SO! I am very new at all this, I've been researching for weeks, and i have already started germinating seeds and planting seeds (INDOORS) that I obtained from my roommates and cousin. I'm really not sure what strain they are, only time will tell.

Some of the little buggers from the cousin have been in soil for three days and are breaking through already! And as for the seeds I got from the roommates, those are being germinated, with one shooting out a one inch root after 48 hrs! I'm afraid I've started too many seeds, LOL.

I'm recreationally growing. Soo much to learn, so much! The part that doesn't thrill me is keeping an eye out for males, and gettin them away ASAP when the time comes... But, I must say this is gonna be fun. I'll post a pic up, but I have a 4' ballast with (2) 40 cool white fluor's for now. I'll get the HID lamp (probably just 150w) when the time comes. Anyhow, hope I learn a whole lot on here, and hopefully I have one crazy ass time!

p.s. - i can't believe i actually used that retarded word, lol.
