I'm gonna hang out here for a while. :stoned: Subscribed.
Thanks weeze. It defininitely creeps up. Pain in my arse I tell ya.
Temps still at 90 so I'm gonna have to run the exhaust full time now.
Had to recaulk the leaks, so another day of fog it is.
Welcome Crabby!
"Temps still at 90 so I'm gonna have to run the exhaust full time now.
The extra CO2 will be very useful at those Temps.
Without it growth halts at around 90F.
I did a lot of:beatdeadhorse: when I started:weedpoke: too.
Tried many different mediums and styles.
Fumbled my way through Rockwool and Hydrotron n water pumps n foggers, n Foxfarm n "supernutes" n additives n timers ad nauseum.
About wore me out.
Now I read more and write less while I hunt down the most succesful old growers that haven't stopped thinking yet.;)
(You can learn a lot just following Old Mac around):thumbsup:.
Learned about the joy of coco from Puffzter.
W.T. and Steve Fortier showed me that leds do work when you add some common sense.
Stinky Attic taught me to listen and observe.
Weedhound was patient and generous with her advice and support.
This land is thick with giants and they don't seem to mind when I stand on their shoulders.:jointsmile:
In short, we are in very good company here.
I like what yer doin' so far. Looks promising.:thumbsup:
I'll be lurking on yer grow, bro.
You probably won't hear much from me unless ya ask directly but I'll be da tiny green one in da peanut gallery.;)
Aloha,
Wee Zard
Aloha, Joe.
Go to your user CP and turn reputation on.
There's some rep waitin' for ya.:D

Things are looking nice Joe!
Getting the PH under control can be hard. I notice the creep when they have growth spurts. Once they were topped the PH seems to have leveled out even with all of the undergrowth.
I'll be keeping an eye on what you have going on!

Thanks all for the kind/encouraging words. Ledtime, welcome.
Filled the res back up today. Hopefully no more leaks. What an unnecessary bitch that was. Gonna follow weez and bring the pH to 5.2 to give it room to rise. The plants were very forgiving through this time of stress and for that I thank them. I also added a Swiss Chard seed to the plug whose mj seed didn't sprout. Salad anyone?
I installed the frame to mount the ScroG 9'' above the res. Too high? Too bad, its screwed in. Wanted to give myself some space between the screen and res to work. BTW, my outdoor babes are blowin' the f up.
Haha weez. I confused 'tron with 'cyon. Ya got me.
Hi Joefarmer,
Watch out for WeeZard, he may like flys he's been know to munch salad greens too.
Very nice set up you have going there. I'm partial to aero/fog and LEDs so I really like it. If I can offer my 2 cents on the suject of co2 use.
It's really not important to run co2 during vegative growth , unless you have extreme high heat. Save it for the important time, flowering. I usually start using it 1-2 weeks into bloom once I see the first sign of flowers. Even at lower temps 70-75 co2 will make a good differnce you only need 600-800ppm when you go over 90 or more you can keep the plants respiration going with 1200-1500. Never ever let it go higher then 1500ppm, I usually never go over 1200ppm.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Make sure you have a CO2 DETECTER just ouside the grow area. It's a good idea to have one if you have any gas burning appliance in your house.
I meant to say "get a carbon monoxide detector" not co2 detector.
You should have a Carobon Monoxide dectector in your home if you have aany appliance that burns gas.
Thx OldMac,
Was still having some heat issues so I switched the 18/6 to go on at night when it's cooler and off from 12-6pm when it's warmest. Let's see if this makes a difference. Hmmm so maybe I'll turn the CO2 off until flowering. It will probably save me a refill during the grow too.
