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

Flowering week 3 11.5/12.5
Day 1
The girls are getting little pale from the top and I'm not sure why, but I raised the lights a little bit and also topped my reservoir with 15l of water with some fresh nutes and additives. pH 6.0 and EC 2.3. After the pics I removed couple handfuls of the lower leaves and probably gonna defo more later this week. I'm going to give them some foliar feeding with kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum) to boost the bud formation.
Day 2
pH 6.3 EC 2.4. Took a good look of the girls today 'cos I need to see if the yellowing is still spreading. Looks kinda like Mg and/or K deficiency so might have to add both just in case and it is almost time to give that PK boost.
Day 3
Lifted the net little bit, adjusted the canopy slightly and pulled the lower leaves under the net. I want to see how they bounce back from this 'cos I want to do more defo but uncertain about how much and when should I do it. I know in the 3rd week of flower and maybe 6th week last time but I don't want to take more than maybe ~20% of the leaves at one time and this is just playin' it safe.
Day 4
Defoliation day today and I might have removed too many leaves today 'cos I was too eager and caught in the moment. Hopefully they all will come back from this and produce me some big fat buds :D Also I got a package that contained Great white (Beneficial bacteria etc), Humic -& Fulvic Blast and some other equipment. I added them all to my res but I will update my diary nutes next week 'cos it is easier to follow for me. Ec was 2.8 and pH 6.1 this morning but the plants looked healthier than few days ago. I diluted the res to 2.5 Ec. I lifted the lights to 45cm from the plants 'cos I believe that the cupping of the upper leaves is symptom of light stress. Not sure but just in case and it wont do any harm.
Day 6
I got more lights today (Spider 4 Led 360W) to improve my yields after finding out my Cree led's we're not so powerful. Growing strong and they definitely liked what I gave them last time. Yellowing on the leaves seems to be getting worse once again but lets see what happens. ph 6.5 Ec 2.5, also gave them some foliar feed with fulvic acid and supervit.

Grow Questions
Shagrathstarted grow question 5 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
Shagrathstarted grow question 5 years ago
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 5 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?
