If you are running temperatures too high, at least 950ppm of CO2 can help your plant to grow normally.

Week 10
Day 2
All good in here. Just letting them grow.
Day 3
Stretching out nicely, but my canopy are not even. Might be some phenotype difference in the plants and my training techniques are not the best. Lowered pH a little bit today from 6.3->6.1 just to control the rising. EC is 2.0 now and they also have been pretty thirsty.
After the pics I did some trimming and removed some lower leaves and all the extra growth tips that were just taking energy from my main colas.
Day 4
Some clawing on few lower leaves and cupping on upper leaves. Maybe too high EC and too much wind or something. Diluted the water a little bit.
Day 5
Added 10l of fresh pH:ed water with silicon max and diamond nectar, to dilute the solution a little bit. pH 5.7 and EC 2.0. Adjusted one fan to blow directly under the lights to reduce the heat to the leaves.
Day 6
pH dropped to 5.5 but girls are doing good I think. I believe I'm seeing first buds forming now. There might be too much nitrogen in the water so I might have to change most of the water soon.
Day 7
pH is 5.8 now and there is some swings going on but its good and I feel like my girls have been growing better with lower pH. Girls looking good and this has been pretty simple and good week.

Grow Questions
Shagrathstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi everyone! This is my first grow and I have no clue how to estimate yield and when should I flip to flowering?
My tent is 2'x4' and the plants take abt 1,5'x2,5' now and I have total of 400W power from the CXB3590 leds.
Im aiming for quality but I want to use all the space.

dude lol i just was checking out an NFT grow with the same-ish question, right now with three plants that size you can expect anywhere from 250 to 450 gs , but if you wait until you see some kind of vegetative stretch (like a week or two more) where your plants "double" in size , then you can expect much more like 350 to 650 in the same space for a few weeks extra veg. the main idea is filling up your scrog net fully then flipping and maybe using a second layer of scrog netting to optimise.
basically you need these extra weeks of veg from the topping and LST that's been done, ultimately the decision is yours , though! hope this helps ! π

I want to defoliate but when should I do it? Little by little all the time or wait until flowering stretch is over and do only one big one or something else and whats the difference in these?
Thanks in advance!

JinksyGrowsanswered grow question 4 years ago
Need a quick answer? Majority of Defo (and pruning) to be done 1-2 weeks before flower. Defo does cause stress and it's better to stress her in Veg where she can recover quicker then in flower when she stops vegetative growth. It can stress her out much more if done in flower, but is still ok. Before flower, take whatever you feel you need too. Won't hurt her. Do so just before or after a feed so she can recover from that lite stress. In flower, you may certainly defo, but I would not go hog-wild and limit the amount of stress's I'm putting on the girls. They're not technically 'growing' anymore and can have a hard time bouncing back from any amount of stress in mid-late flower. Early flower, during stretch, they're still growing and can still recover pretty quick. If you see you missed a lot of DEFO in veg that you didn't take, you can do this within the first two weeks of flower when she is still growing/stretching and will be able to recover from the cuts.
Cheers my friend. Good luck and hit me up in PM if you feel I can help you with anything else.ππ

@MovingOn, My plan for next growth is to get CO2 bottle (probably 6kg) and I will use solenoid valve and timers to control the CO2 levels in the tent. Main idea is to "sprinkle" the CO2 thoroughly to the leaves with some nozzles or something and I will use timers to stop the extraction fan while adding CO2. I just need to figure out good timings for this. I think that if I use normal regulator to constantly adding CO2 it is waste of money 'cos most of it will leave the tent through the fan rather quickly, I suppose.

@Shagrath, on my last few grows I was in the same boat as you. I tried those CO2 bags, but I only increased my PPM about 100 over the standing room air PPM. So I went out and got a couple CO2 tanks and a regulator, now I have no problems. I had one 20lb (9kg) tank turn on regularly, and it still lasted about 6 weeks.

@MovingOn, Oh yes and I noticed today that my fans were really stupidly positioned and I think they have been just circling the hot air around without properly removing it from the canopy area. I repositioned them so hope it helps too!

Today I took a better look of my led lamps and I measured the actual power draw from the wall and it turned out that I have meanwell HBG-60 drivers in them and they are 52W power each. Until today I thought they were the 100W version 'cos thats what I was supposed to get.
I'm still pleased how they are growing and I can always upgrade the drivers to HBG-100's or buy quantum board to the side.

Note to myself: There might've been nutelock in the veg stage and until writing this there has been some signs of overdose of nitrogen that comes in cycles. I'm not certain why this is happening 'cos this is my first weed grow and my second grow in hydroponic system.
My personal opinion is thΓs: My EC is too high from the beginning but I'm trying to "overdrive" my plants and I'm giving them extra CO2 and other additives so they can really shine in high EC. With my setup this is like playing with fire and its hard to find the optimal balance with everything I have in my hands rn. I think I'm starting to catch the point in this bioponic system and how my special nutes affect the plants.

@@Wilson_McNugget, Why the hate? I really don't know why I even bother to reply but I will. YES this is my first CANNABIS grow and I have been growing chilies for few years and some other plants. Last year I did one hydro run with couple chilies so I'm not totally noob on growing plants in general and I know hydroponics so weed is actually really easy to grow if you just know how to grow plants. and btw have I even joined the competition?
