and here I am always trying to reduce my indoor CO2 levels daily. My home is super airtight, and without a door or window cracked open, the CO2 PPM's fluctuate between 900-1700. Inside my lung room/tent, it always 700-1100 PPM.
5 gallon pots. Put outside mid May. Super Silver Haze. LOTS of water and nutrients. Was quite the experience keeping up with them in such small pots. Morning dew would have caused rot to start any day. Amber trichomes at 5%, so I chopped them.
What always works for me.
A proper watering session always consumes 25-30% of the pot size. So let’s say you’re using a 3 GALLON pot. A good slow soak 8-13 minute watering session, will usually cause the pot to absorb around 2-3 QUARTS with a small amount of run off at the end. (3-5oz)...
It’s been a LOT of work…. I wanted to see if I could get a decent outdoor grow with only 5 gallon pots. The amount of water and nutrients needed on a daily basis is insane. So far so good though! I feel like it’s a Solo cup challenge, but on a massive outside scale LOL…. They are Super...
I use a 2012 model Frigidaire 30 pint unit. When it's active in dehumidifying, its 300-302W. It's also an "Energy Saver" model. Only because it has an RH thermostat on it. Takes some energy to run the compressor.
Two experiments out on the deck with only 5 gallon pots. SSH. 2 weeks or so into flower. TPS One/Fish emulsion nutes every 3rd day. It’s a part time job. Tallest one is 74” as of today.
It grows plants better than my Mars and SF does. Best $400 I’ve ever spent in my life. Literally. My current harvest is going to be well over 18-20oz and I didn’t even need to use 100% power.
LED lighting holds more marketing and sales pitch BS out of any hobby I've ever seen in the past 25 years.
It's a fuggin light. As long as it has a proper high end diode (Samsung 301B/H), a large enough power supply, and ideal diode spacing, its going to do the best any of them can...
