Looking great, nice set-up. I heard the same thing you did about the Sour Grapes/Grape Stomper being the same. They look super frosty. Excited to see the final product

I do use 5 and 7 gallon pots. I want to just have 12 monsters every 4 weeks, I have the room. Hey do you know any good ways to make your own C02 . I heard 4 4 liter milk jugs filled with fermenting yeast water, flour etc? i'm currently 6 weeks away from the first crop of a variety of 3 strains and 3 weeks away from putting my godzilla looking bonsai's in 4 weeks from now.

I use 2 gallon pots with straight coco. I sometimes do 6-9 larger plants per light and use 5 gallon pots for those. I did 12 per light this time in 2 gallon pots but I also only vegged for a week. Making your own co2 is kind of a waste of time. It's easiest to get a regulator and one or two 20 gallon tanks if you're doing a small grow. Any large grows and you want a co2 burner with a direct gas line or you're going to be spending too much time refilling the source gas. There are ways of creating a fermentation that gives off co2 or even using dry ice but they require too much maintenance and trips to the store. co2 makes a big difference but it's not necesarry to grow some of the best buds and get good yields. I've seen better results in yield using co2 but haven't seen it increase quality much. Quality is mostly dependent on genetics and feeding the plant what it needs. If I didn't have limitations though in my grow space I would be using it.

How much of an increase do you notice with co2 in yield.

It brought me from just over a pound to 1 1/2 pounds on a 600 watt HPS with 12 XJ-13 clones. The biggest yield I ever got was from the Original Blueberry. It's funny because it was one of my first grows ever and the setup was all cheap gear and nutes.
Strain: Original Blueberry (6 clones)
Gear: Hydrofarm Megagarden, 1000 HPS sun system ballast, NON air cooled reflector, CO2 tank and regulator
Nutes: General Hydroponics 3 part flora series, Kool Bloom, and Floralicious
I ended up getting 2 pounds from those 6 plants that were in a cheap plug and play hydro system in a room that averaged between 85-90 degrees. Just goes to show that you don't need high end everything to get a good yield. On the downside, where the plants went above my expectation in yields, the quality wasn't the highest. I'd take 1-1 1/2 pounds per light of super high grade over 2 pounds of mid grade any day.

It's been 3 days since the last photo update.
I think my plants were pretty thirsty yesterday but I couldn't make it to my grow room. They're going to be really thirsty for their feeding today. Today is the last feeding of Purple Maxx they're getting before I switch them to Gravity for 2 or 3 feedings. Going to give them Gravity, Sweet, Hygrozyme, Thrive Alive B-1 red, Diamond Nectar and that's it for the next week. Then it's time to finish them off with a final boost of PK, lots of carbs, humic acid, followed by a flush with final phase.

Can I ask you another question about co2? I don't know if you have experience with using hydro buckets or anything, but I am currently using DWC buckets 5gallon, individual units no recurclation. I recently added Co2 to my room. I have an intake from a window in the room that goes through an 8inch booster fan and an 8inch carbon filter before entering the room. That is the fan I use to keep my room cool, around 61-68 degrees lights on, and 54-56 degrees lights off. I have a greenhouse controller that handles co2 and temps. My question is, now that I introduced co2, should I let my temps increase to around 80-82, if not 77-79? I know this is common practice with co2, but please consider running DWC at those temps, with being more prone to bacteria growth. What do you think? I have never really asked for anyone's direct opinion on something, but im in a dilemma here and you seem very experienced. What you think?

a couple more weeks left of flower. they're looking good so far. i'm happy with both strains as far as quality but not really happy with the space queen in yield. hopefully they'll blow up over these last two weeks. here's some pic updates

Once I started adding the Purple Maxx to the mix even my fan leaves started getting trichomes on them. The trim is going to make for some really high grade bubble hash.
nice grow and thanks for sharing all your info! Im running canna bitoerra and canna bionutes, Im about to start bloom what should I add to the canna flores and boost? I have the pk 13/14, thrive alive b-1, org cal mag, technaflora humic acid, and there seaweed feed as well. but didnt know if theres anything else? Im also using canna bio nutes with soiless mix would the feeding be the same as the bioterra soil?
thanks man
