Does anyone have some specific repeated experience with dry ice extraction? I'm a real stickler for details and I want to use the exact same amount of material vs ice vs shake times per batch. Ie: 100 gr material, 3 lb ice, 2 min shake for first grade, move to new spot and continue to shake for 5 minute for 2nd grade. Etc. anyone? Thanks!

I need to check to see what size the bag of dry ice is I get (5lb, I think) but I always get the same bag and will use it in a 5gal bucket, 100 micron screen. I never weigh trim or air bud so I have no idea there unfortunately but the only time I've been disappointed in yield was this last round when I was showing a buddy how to do it. We should have shook longer but I just wanted to show him so it's all good. I get mine from the grocery store when they have it.

Also, I wil always put all of the dry ice in right off the bat but not all of the trim. I'll add more trim when it seems like the golden snow is easing up. Then go at it some more and it's like you just started all over again with a heavy snow storm :)

Scrog is the shit. I like being able to make the plant the same size as the light.

Go get your scrog on. That will resolve your height issues.

In other news... I set my 400cfm 6" inline to run every 60 minutes for 30 minutes during lights on in the flower chamber and off completely during night time in hopes of gaining some benefit from the 2 CO2 bags I put in.

Here's the impact on my temps, during lights on my temp runs at 70 with the fan on, when it goes off the temp rises to 78 over 30 minutes and then starts dropping again.

Thoughts?

This morning a ran dedicated AC duct to each chamber (mom, veg, flower) so that should help. Pic update in the AM.

CHEERS sixers
i have been in a room where the guy turned his fan off at lights out and it was 100 percent humidity with water dripping off the ceilings and onto his electrical equipment, the plants are still breathing after the lights go out, combine this with the drop in temperature and the humidity will skyrocket, if you have no dehumidifier in your room you will need to keep the fan on for at least a couple of hours after lights out

lol you are a crazy bastard hem if you don't mind me saying, i mean it in a good way.

also i have often wondered how the lights in the u.s work when they only run at 120v compared to 240v here in the u.k.

how do you get your lights to run at 240v?

Thanks GHB. There is a switch inside the ballast that let us turn them to 240. Then you have to get a new plug for the ballast to plug in to and boom 240.

lol your welcome.

so do you think it does actually affect the light output when you run them at 120? all this electrical talks confuses me

No but it does use more amps.

example at 120 a 1000 uses 9.5 amps at 240 it uses 5 amps. runs cooler
