Here is the downside. I envy the pristine growing environment of an indoor. Outside, prevention is key, but you cannot prevent against ALL bugs.
I'm a kid at heart, so I envy you. You can collect pray mantis and lady bugs and stick bugs. The beauty of a green house is you have the option of balancing the eco system. My girls begged me to release 10 bags of lady bugs into my house when they saw a friend doing it in a greenhouse. Can you imagine! Ha ha ha!

I agree that a sealed room is appealing. But the same walls that keep bugs out, keeps them in as well! I've never run across mites or anything because I use filters on all my intakes, and I am OCD about contact. I never take clones in without a dip and a two week incubation period and only enter after showers, Etc. Gotta be fresh and clean for the ladies...

I wish I had your discipline when it comes to your grow and cleanliness, I always think the best outcome will come about without any precautionary measures; i.e. not dipping clones, not changing between grow rooms, shit I dont even wash my hands. I have had one minor mite break out, and continue to spray neem weekly but I really gotta clean my game up.

California love!!! Beer batter tempura Avos, with a spicy soy sauce, and a big ol' boll of Banana OG. Cali might not have it all, but we've got what counts.

I wouldn't knock Bio CO2 generators! They have shroom buckets, that use CO2 expelled from mushrooms. Never used one myself, but I've seen rooms that employ a few, and the CO2 was above 800!
Ya, I used a shroom bucket last grow. CO2boost.com and it worked rather well. This time I am going a bit cheaper. The exhale bag is the same shit, so i am gonna put the bag in a 5 gallon bucket, and use the same pump setup I used in my CO2boost unit... or I am just gonna hang it up in the back of my tent, and let it rain CO2... prolly pump it to each plant using the hose and pump I have. Natural Bio CO2 generators may not be 1000ppm or above, but they at least get it back to what it is supposed to be. If it bring the ppm back up to 350+, then it's doing what it needs to be doing. I don't have a meter... but I know my girls stay bright green all throughout the day where the new growth is, and I see more new growth with the CO2... so I would say it works.

EDIT* The CO2boost bucket is 150 bucks to get at first with the pump, replacement buckets are 100 bucks...

exhale co2 bags, and even the boost buddy bags are way cheaper... and its the same shit, without the bucket or pump. so just get a bucket, hook a PVC pipe with holes in it to the bottom (intake) of an air pump, drill a snug hole in the lid of the 5 gallon bucket for the pvc pipe, and tada! you have a CO2boost unit.

hi everyone i hope your having a nice afternoon or evening.
i wanted to share some important information with you all. a mistake was made when feeding one of my girls resulting in a very quick deadly outcome.
the combination of molassas mixed with ph up and ph down is a deadly toxic poision to our marijuana plants.
in a mere 12 hours after a gallon of that mixture was added to a perfectly healthy pineapple chunk girl she turned white.... her leaves shriveled to white, her top colas dried up to a crispy white and check out her entire trunk.. a ghostly white.

Id love to see pics of those frost beasts - Do they look like this?



And if you are using nutes that are Ph buffered, you dont have to worry about them fucking with the Ph. Sounds like the nutes you are using just cause mad swings to your ph. I personally would rather use something I dont have to worry about just feed and forget ;)
Yeah, they do look eerily similar to the pic you posted, amazing. How did you do that? lol. I use organic nutrients, unless there is something added in there, then they wouldnt be ph buffered. You'll mostly find that its chemical fertilizers that are ph buffered. Which I choose not to use, Im growing medicine, so I can't see using them. Pics? No I just bullshit talk on forums, cause I havent backed everything else Ive ever said with pics...No just joking with the smartass there lol. I will post up some pics when I take them, you know, I have never taken a pic of the GFK. And the Acid Ive never grown before now. Can't wait too see what it looks done, with the frosting it has at day 28. Heribei, well, thats just a frosty fucker, I wonder if these 2 will turn purple and maroon like the last one I grew out...Exciting to see. Ill be giving those co2 bag things a try, Ill know within the first couple weeks of my next run if they are worth a shit for my setup or not. The GFK grows a certain way and speed, if growth increases I'll know its the co2, because I wont be changing anything else...Fuck wait I just bought a different kind of bulb, damn. Now that messes with the experiment a bit now doesnt it... Wont know which is making things faster, if that is the case.

@Dr.Amber..Thats crazy, I make teas, have used mollasses, and ph up. I guess it would be the combo of the up and down, but Ive used them together too. Just not when I was making a tea. But I always use up. Weird. Never seen anything like that happen to a plant, almost like it was bleached or something.

No need to ph any tea. Its self regulating and brings the ph exactly to where the plants want it.
Not the teas I make, when I check them, usually are at around 5.7 after a 24 hour brew, it is lower before hand, and does adjust some on its own. I could probably live with that, but I prefer to take it up to around 6.1 to 6.3 I wish it leveled out on its own. It does when I use Deuce Deuce, but thats it. Must be the mixture you use.

If your using 1tbls of blackstap molasses per gallon try brewing for 48hrs, 24 hrs is a little short imo.
