Grow Timeline (23 updates)
Well it's been a challenging week, trying to dial in my VPD I have been battling with severe cold weather 8°-18°f my heater in house been keeping atmosphere dry. Thanks to the Mars hydro ihub pro I finally got it on target. Couldn't have done it without it. My marshydro 55 blue and red adlight should be here by Wednesday can't wait ✌️
U want to have multiple probes in the tent as the VPD will vary in locations. Keep probe above canopy . Best to use a VPD gun to get the leaf surface VPD that way it an accurate reading. Each stage will require different VPD readings. Ac infinity VPD gun is around $30 & works great .
Alright I really appreciate the info. I will do exactly that. ✌️
Vivosun also has a VPD gun & they same price on Amazon at $30

Looking pretty damn good! Wish I could smells those girls!
I just have 1 question that I'm pretty sure you get asked a lot what is it and how is it helping... the can above canopy
I'm supplying dry ice pellets, up to 1300 to 1500 ppm of CO2. Once I get it where I need it I then move it to a small cooler with it open just enough for gases to escape I put it near the vent outside of the tent and let exhaust fan pull it in the room . Allowing me to increase temp and run lights up to 1250 ppfd
I haven't tried any co2 yet this is my first run I'm just trying to get the hang of start to finish I'm probably mid to low tier at this for the moment but I'm learning
Really don't need added CO2 until you are in 12/12 cycle of flower usually around wk 3 or 4. I didn't give CO2 on my current grow until wk 6 and terps are stacking like crazy now
I'm actually on like wks 6-7 of flowering
Yes I see that there doing great 👍 I like to take off leaves a little at a time to avoid any stress and to let all the nutes focus on bud growth. Avoid touching as much as possible
Do u think the dry ice is better than the co2 bags? Do u get it locally or have it delivered?
I didn't have good experience with Exhale bags, I probably just got a bad one. I'm doing this in a pinch because I am short on time, only doing it 2 or 3 times a week. It's difficult to regulate. I have only done this in the past with a large grow room not inclosed tent had awesome results because ppm weren't so extreme. I bought 5lbs block and 5lbs pellets of dry ice. Lasted over 48 hrs cost was $12. I will start a new grow in September or October and consider buying a tank and regulator system. anyone considered on using CO2 must have everything else in optimal range, temperature/humidity/vpd/DLI/ etc. without any signs of plant stress. this will allow to raise light intensity significantly as well as temp. they will feed a lot more than usual too
Yea i think the dry ice is actally a good idea if ur looking to cool also ive been using the co2 bags thats the name not the exhale they have horrible reviews and they mold i guess so its not u its those exahale there mushrooms the co2bags have pellets and they seem to work pretty good u can smell when there working smells like amonia but no chance of mold
Oh ok gotcha, that's good to know. I also have 2 bottles of sugar and yeast tubed into top area of tent just to help maintain the CO2 . Without it it's CO2 drops around 200 or less during the day. They suck it all up LoL
The co2 bags come in 2 sizes i just opted to get the bigger one puts out more and last longer i tried the yeast thing just too much work for the output the bags have puncture holes so u can decide how much u want to put out they big bag should make it thru whole flower cycle u can close them off during dark cycle but i dont
Ok , oh I agree 100%. I will have to give them a try. Looking to keep the maintenance low. Damn leaf removal is enough ✌️
Right
I transplanted mine from soil to dwc got them on amazon for 50.00 a pc and wait for them to totally recover like 2 weeks then went to flower after a week alot less fussing around with the soil issues like getting solid spots and no having to wait for it to dry out before watering got the vevor now i just water/feed when the water level go low theres a tube outside and its a top watering thing so it keep pellets wet but just enough so i feed and then the next time water just have to go to 5.8 to 6.0 ph insyead of 6 to 7 but lot less messing wuth them im only doing 2 but i also vegged for 6 weeks
How do you go about dry back method
U dont have to woory about drying out with the dwc
Oh ok understood now.
Check out mine click on my name itll bring u to mine iv3 been using the shit out of the ai plant dr in here its in the tools section really help i take pics and ask questions and it gives u alot of info and i f3ed it everthing about my setup and it remembers everthing next time
Ok damn I wish I would have used it earlier in the grow, next time I will for sure.
Fed all 4 with 5 gal
Is that far red?
Oh no it's deep red It stays on for 10 more minutes after main light switches off
Have been using marshydro blue and red adlights though out the grow at different percentages
Nice

This looks like heaven! Keeps getting better 🤙🏿
Thanks man, had to let them go another week, was not quite ready.
Pretty
That's freaking beautiful, thanks for sharing 😍
Looks like a magical garden ready for harvest! Love that purple!
Almost 100% cloudy, few clear here n there, very few amber.
1-7 days @ 68°f 55% rh

Beautiful plants growmie great work! Soon you get to enjoy all the hard work I'm sure it'll be hella tasty and potent from the looks of her
Thank you, once they took a life of their own the girls decided that it would be a great idea to take over my life as well. LoL 😂 I still have a lot of work ahead of me as you well know, it's all about preserving the terps now ✌️
Oh yeah definitely but your doing great so far but consequences of doing so well your headed straight to trim jail for a good bit if your a by hand trimmer like me lol
Hell yea growmie! Looks like a great harvest and some fire home grown shit! This is why we grow, so we don't have to hit up a dispensary and get bullshit we don't know what's in it! And not feeding the government money!!
Danks gromie, well said. I had to stop wasting money at the dispensary for sure. So misleading
I have pur purchased from them that told me im buying top shelf quality buds and paid top price on some fire looking buds and to get home roll it up and choke my ass off from God knows what they used to grow it and pretty much gave it away! I grow 100% organic in living soil. I want it clean and harsh free smoke! Lol
Same here my brother ✌️
Have a great day! Congrats on the harvest Growmie!
Yes you too! Have a great J and get blown away 💨
Any recommendations for try to get my girls to do some stretching, seems like going cover growing horizontal, it may be genetic from the cultivator I'm not sure. All seem to be very healthy and thriving
Should I mow the grass? LoL
