Looking very nice friend! I am back from vacation, your grow looks like it's going extremely well. Happy to see it. I am two weeks into 12.12 - because my strain is a good part Sativa, I don't have much bud formation just yet. How many watts are you doing in your grow again? I am doing 2000 and the people at the local grow store said to hold off co2 until I expand.
im doing 2000 as well. the people at the grow store arent always right and some times absolutely wrong. when i asked them about co2 they told me to run it at night! they also said my air cooling wouldnt work on my lights but it is hard to keep my temperature up now that they are air cooled. all plants need co2, whether one or a hundred and it will make fatter nugs and speed harvest time. check out my nugs at two weeks into flowering. thanks for the props. peace
Looks great. Yeah, I have gotten opinions split right down the middle as to weather or not to use co2 with a 2000 watt operation. Did you go with the digital set up for the co2? I was told at the store that would cost about $800 bucks, while the cheaper system would be around $500. Are you use taping water here in Santa Cruz or no? Great job! Now roll up a phatty and enjoy some of your first harvest! =)
mmmm yummy.
the tap in my part of the city is an even ph but i still let it chill for a while before watering. your operation will cost around $200 for the tank but will last forever, for the adapter $140 and that will last forever, and fill it once a month. definately speeds growth time and bud size. i recommend getting it.Quote:

Its quite fustrating when you dont know that and ruin your perfect looking product. Atleast a week bare minimum. Since your more of a conesiuer, I would do atleast 2 weeks. Flush with fresh air and water.Quote:

Today was the day... i harvested all the rest of my plant and am hanging them to dry; in a week or so they will probably be dry enough to do a weigh in which i know every one is curious about. i weighed the premature plant i yeilded a week a go and it read 34 grams but will probably lose at least another quarter ounce in weight.
Heres a question, my relative humidity is between 30% and 40% with my exhaust off and gets to as low as 20% when my exhaust is on continuously. i have been informed that your RH should be around 55% when drying so what i want to know is if i should just leave it or if i should bring a bowl of water into my room which seems like kind of a strange thing to do..
thanks in advance for your help! here are some pics.
