Just snapped off some pics of the ladies today before lights on and figured I would share them. Not much to say, haven't seen anymore male flowers lurking, they are probably all buried in buds with my luck. Anyway, here they are.
1. Garden b4 lights on
2. AMS Cola
3. Trainwreck bud
4. Church macro
5. Giant AMS Cola
1. Church

3. TW Cola

lookin sweet...if you find any seeds throw em' away...feed em to the birds...just don't waste your time with them!
are those 5 gal squares? square pots are the best!:thumbsup:
I agree about the beans. Never used any hermie beans that I have produced, although some that are less fortunate may want them:D
They are 5 gal squares, my preference. Used to use 3 gallon rounds in flower, but always ended up rootbound too early.

Negative on co2. I have to keep my exhaust on at all times to keep temps under control, so it would be a moot point. Planning on getting air cooled hoods to deal with heat in the near future tho.
Ever think about using some A/C? That's where its at, takes around 3,500btu's to cool a 1,000w, and probably a lot less when its air cooled. There is a problem with running one in a sealed room though. I basically had two options, I could take option A and buy a thousand dollar split a/c unit(not an option at all for me) or I could fabricate an intake to the intake side of a cheap, used a/c unit so I could use external air to cool the a/c. It's pulling in cold air from outside and cooling the a/c really well, the exhaust is vented into the basement, the compressor can pretty much stay running contstantly lol. It was as simple as taping a dish washing container 12''x12'' plastic tote to the a/c, and cutting a 6'' hole for ducting and installing a flange. I bought another used a/c unit for when this one takes a dump, i figure it's only a matter of time running constantly 12hrs a day.
I have looked into a/c. I don't have any windows or anything tho so I was thinking one of the portable type. I suppose my only concern is if I air cool my lights and put a/c money into another light, would it be energy better spent?
I'm kinda on the fence with it as of now, summer will probably go ahead and answer the dilemma for me though. I suppose ideally I would have both, it's just not an option at the moment.
One step at a time someone wiser than me once said.

I've ran 2,000w in a 900 cubic foot room, air cooled with a couple tiny leaks coming from the hoods(just duct tape sealed) and the temps wanted to hit 86-87deg's, thats with 700cfm's blowing through the two hoods. I know 86 is ideal with full co2 enrichment, but I like my room to be a little cooler than that. This was in a sealed room with co2 in a basement where the room was normally 60 degrees with nothing plugged in.
The problem I ran into is that it seems best to lower the co2 level close to whats in the air normally during the last couple weeks of flowering as it will prevent the plants from ripening. So that really throws a curve ball in there when you have strains finishing every month or less. lol
If you don't have any windows you'll need to vent the intake and exhaust from the portable a/c outside of the room. Depending on you're room size and desired wattage you might not even need a/c w/co2 around 86 degrees.
Hope I'm not coming off as some kind of grow consultant, just trying to shoot the shit bro :stoned:
I'm pretty secure in what I do, no harm done here. If I didn't do some listening I wouldn't be where I am. Any time good info can hit my log, I'm all about it. I don't care what it's about. You wanna come here and vent, shoot the shit, tell a joke, feel free. It's all good as far as I'm concerned.
If I wasn't running constant exhaust my temps would probably be more in the 90's range. As it is I usually hit a high around 83 so I'm pushing the envelope all the time. Ideally co2 will be in the future, so I'll store all the input for sure.
