White Rhino, Super lemon haze

Day 31. So tomorrow I'm going to be shutting off my lights for 24 hours and begin the first day of 12/12. I've set up my new environmental control board which includes an automated co2 controller with ventilation control. Right now im letting the c02 controller stay on to calibrate. Since im growing different strains Im debating on the type of pruning I should to to increase yeild. I've been pruning lower branches as well as inner leaves and branches to allow good air flow and to push growth towards the ends. On my sativas im gonna try super cropping and see how that works as for all my indicas/hybrids...not sure. should I FIM top them or just leave the top colas? Here's some pictures...dang they're growing fast now. Here's also a picture of the environmental controls.

Dam nice work on that board and their looking healthy as fuk too, as for the FIM/TOP i think you should leave them like that just cause of the limit in space .... but thats just an opinion

lookin very healthy green!

Damn, so I'm having some trouble with the co2 enrichment. It's almost impossible to keep temperatures from climbing above 95 when the fans and exhaust are off. The co2 fills and the tent heats up in a matter of minutes which causes the fans to kick on and the co2 turns off. However It takes forever to cool the tent back down and it heats up quickly so I'm barely getting to use co2 at all. Im wondering what would be the best way to route my intake/exhaust to achieve the correct temperatures. I've read some people who have it set up like this.

Exhaust
Carbon filter (inside tent) ->inline fan->outside tent and window.
Inline fan (outside tent)->Inside tent->reflector->reflector->outside tent and out window.

Intake
Inline fan (outside tent)->inside tent

the exhaust line going to the reflectors would be activated when the lights turn on and the carbon filter exhaust as well as the intake should be activated when tempertures get too high.
Right now I just have a carbon filter (inside tent) with an inline fan going to both reflectors and outside. I would need just one more fan to make this happen but I'm not sure if it will guarantee to keep my temps between 85-95. Anybody have co2 temp troubles in their grow room? i would really appreciate some advice.

I wish I could help you out with the co2 issue, but I know nothing about it. I must say that your plants look absolutely gorgeous right now though. In a few months we'll have to match!

I got it all figured out now. kinda tricky but I managed to get my temps down without getting another fan. Thanks for looking out though. Definitely lets match. Im only one week behind you and I'm expecting some colas to start forming soon.

Day 39

6 days of 12/12

Finished pruning and worked with my ventilation a bit. Now there's a really nice gap for air flow under the plants and for the co2 to absorb Enjoy

subscribed. ima drop in from time to time good shit so far

i am looking forward to watching your SLH flower. i just ordered some tonight, as well as Barney's farm Utopia Haze. but i wont start them for a while, i am finishing some BlueStreak auto's and have purple pineberry and some dank bagseed germing now.

Nice, you'll really enjoy the SLH. Since they grow like monsters so flower accordingly. Do you have a journal for your grow?

Good work on the pruning. I let mine go 14 days on 12/12 before I did mine and it gave me a bit of a hard time but it's all good. I know your grow is going to be quite successful, bro!

Nice work man, I'm also growing some White Rhino's right now, so I'll be following this one daily

Day 51

12 days of 12/12

Last week I gave my plants bud blood on both feedings, I raised the ppm levels a bit during the last feedings to push the plants into flowering rather than going into a growth spurt. Im going to cut back this week to flush out the soil a bit. I got flowers blooming everywhere now I've removed two of the weakest plants to allow for more growth and depending on how things go I will move the plants around so the shortest plants are right under the light and the tallest have more room to grow.
Incase people are curious about my Advanced nutrient feed schedule heres what i'm using right now. Im using the moderately heavy feeding schedule online as a bases but I dont follow them exactly, I use my ppm meter to keep me at the right level. I start with adding my carboload, rhino skin, humic acid, fulvic acid, voodoo juice, organic b, and sensyzm. These will barely raise the ppm/ec level and since i'm using reverse osmosis water, the ppms stay below 100. Then I add my powdered beneficial bacteria, tarancula and pirana. These will increase the ppm and I try to be careful because it really easy to overdo it. I also have to hurry at this point because the mycorrhizae (beneficial fungi) have about 30 min to be transfered into soil from what i've read. Next I add just a very little of cal-mag. I then add my base nutrient, iguana juice bloom with a little bit of big bud. Every other feeding Im going to be using just water and sweet leaf for taste. It may seem like a lot of work, but I enjoy it and so do the plants.
Here's some pictures for day 12.

their looking real healthy man great job

Looking great, my friend! I keep forgetting our grows are so close together. I am on day 23 of flowering right now.

I blame the poor genetics on greenhouse seeds part. My white rhinos were all hermies. I pulled all six because i didn't want to take any chances. Every other plant is doing perfect and it makes me upset because I put so much time into mothering the seed then cloning it. Oh well, I'll divert my energy into the other plants. I'm still pushing for 2lbs per light.

suck to hear about the hermis man. hope the SLH doesn't go that route.
