The yellowing one is probably getting hammered by light intensity, verify the ph in is correct, ph out is correct and then double the food for a watering and see how it likes that
Also verify ppm coming out in the run off is not too high when you check ph of the runoff
This is my third harvest. Why do people keep thinking it’s my first.
Will they even help?
I’d say draining money into co2 tanks that would probably cost $50 a week would be a waste. Droppin $30-40 one time on a mushroom bag/baking soda CO2 system to see if it helps at all seems more worthwhile.(Also you could get some shiitakes out of it)
Considering it would be pretty costly and take some more experience to get this grow dialed in, think this is a decent little add on for now.
Oops, think the crowd sourcing on here may have led to thinking it was first time. Still early on in the grand scheme of growing though.
First or third you’re still starting out lol. No offense was meant
Haha you’re right.
co2 in his situation is not a decent add on. His grow isn’t there yet and he doesn’t have an airtight area. Again, I’m not knocking the setup at all, but just being realistic, I’m not anywhere near using it either.
You mentioned over complicating things earlier, adding co2 def makes things more complicated and doesn’t give results unless your pushing your ppfds past 1000.
Ambient co2 levels are most likely fine for that tent.
So do you have any helpful and cheap additions he can add to potentially increase his yield, as he asked for?
If you have nothing of value to add, but want to act like putting a $30-40 mushroom bag in there is such a terrible idea, I don’t know if you’re actually trying to help. Yes, a grow tent isn’t a perfect sealed environment. Sadly, that’s what a lot of people have to work with.
Don’t mean to be rude. Just good to understand what this guys actually asking for, simple additions in a tent grow/rental house situation. If he made a thread called “how to set up a garage grow”, all the answers of concrete and pond liners and stuff make sense.
What i have done in the past, tent exhausts directly outside and intakes ambient air from the room outside the tent. So in that room, I would put all my mash barrels. a couple hundred gallons of mash working off will supply sufficient co2 for the tent. Having the barrels on rotating schedules meant i could always have ample co2 and there would always be mash to distill. 2 birds stoned.
3lbs grain/ gallon of water
1lb sugar/gallon of water
yeast
Just to clarify, by “pond liner,” I meant the stuff that is basically extra heavy duty black plastic. It comes in rolls and can be cut to any size. I was telling him to build the same flood table you are saying to buy. They used to be a lot more expensive, so I would build my own. Plus a flood table isn’t very discrete to drag around. So we’re saying essentially the same thing.
If stored properly seeds can be viable for at least 20 years. 10 yrs easily.
And yeah never add co2 unless youre a pro running a sealed room. Good air flow can is all you need for 10/10 buds.
Yes, a sealed room is ideal. Do you have anything helpful for what he’s actually asking though, something helpful for his current situation(not a sealed room)
I understand the goal of getting a sealed room, automatic watering system, and all the other bells and whistles. Homie just asked if there’s anything he can do at his current stage to potentially help yield.
This releases CO2, and unless he has a constant exhaust fan going, is going to at least help slightly get closer to saturation. +gets shiitake mushrooms for $20
This is a one time $50 purchase, that could potentially help his yield.
Not saying this is a huge upgrade, or any step closer to a sealed room though. Just trying to answer what he asked, any steps he can potentially do to raise his yield
I’m sorry but releasing co2 in a room that’s completely open air (non sealed) is futile. ESPECIALLY if that airflow through the room is constant
There’s not much you can do at this point to improve yield, all the work that needs to be done when growing cannabis happens in veg and the beginning of flower, after week 3 its set it and forget it.
Just make sure you get to the finish line.
So no one has any literally any advice to help at this point in grow? Really don’t think $20 on a shiitake bag is a futile effort at that point
Do appreciate the input too. Once again, the question of someone asking “what can I do at this point in the grow” and answering “ you should have done more in veg” isn’t answering the question.
Hey I offered some advice. I’d even go further in saying what’s the point of adding co2 when a plant isn’t even eating in the first place
It’s like doing roids but you don’t work out
Just doing them for the buzz
There seem to be alot of mix opinions on adding CO2 at this stage of the grow. What are the pros and cons of adding CO2 right now? Assuming we don’t care about cost, does it matter?
