Update on new equipment I bought.
- 600 watt ipower mh bulb
- milwaukee600aq ph meter
-HM ppm meter
-105 watt blue spectrum cfl
I got free sample (had to pay 26$ in shipping) off the whole nectar of the gods line to try organic grow.
Transplanted 2 afghani from solo cup to 3 gallon smart pot.
Currently have 8 plants going, 3 are NOT feminised, I am germinating 2-3 more seeds within the week, to to go perpetual. My veg box is going to be a good sized dressed, probably cut a hole and use pc fan or two for ventilation. I think I have everything I need for now, last thing like most will be C02.
Seems nothing is worth the hassle, especially exhale bags unless its a legit burner or tank or whatnot.
what should I get to produce c02, it would cost too much to use the tank and regulator..
Any suggestions on anything?

I have a 600 watt phantom II/Hydrofarm radiant 8" hood/hortilux eye special hps bulb
I have my 8 inch ventech duct BOOSTER fan 420 cfm set up just blowing hot air out of the tent with my cfl.
my situation is this, I have 8 inch hood, but dont want to spend so much for 8 inch inline, 8 inch carbon filter..I was told I can get a reducer from 8" to 6", could that work out. I can buy 6 in fan and carbon filter then, if need be I can use the duct booster fan for extra power.
Take pic when I get home, I was going to stop lst on my afghani. I topped my strawberry blue this morning. Everythinf is lookinggood, i bet the plantswill be booming with the MH bulb compared to cfl, Ill still have over 500 watts of cfl for seedlings and whatnot.
(4 105 watt cfls, 4 26 watt)

Most def that MH will light a fire under them..bigger plants..less veg time...I don't see why you couldn't use a reducer and run the 6" carbon scrubber but I don't know definitely.

you would be willing to pay a $15 handling fee, I could send you a sample kit which includes one of our base nutrients; Flora Series 3-part, Flora Duo A and B, Flora Nova grow and bloom or our new Cocotek A & B formula for use with coco coir growing media. The additives that come with the kits are CaliMagic, Armor Si, Floralicious Plus and Rapid Start

ok @Kind Sir i am going to share some of the tricks i learned
1 watering .....3 gallon soil bags will hold less then half a gallon of water (at a half gallon of water u will see some leaking out the bottom)
i use a mason jar.....i will mix up the feed in a gallon jug then pour to mason jar to pour into the planter so i know how much water i am giving them
as the plant grows u increase the amount of water u are offering it (what week are u on)
right before flowering i take the whole planter and move it to a deep sink mix up some speical gallons (root drench .micro brew...AN root mass builder....rooting/rapid start) .........your not flushing the soil u are just soaking it all down so the roots expand out
the other part is timing .........depending on the size of the plant u might need to adjust the watering time tables to keep up with the plant ..........large plants in 3 gallon bags need watering every 24 hours ( i have a yumbolt going in a 3 gallon now .....i have to water it every 24/36 hours the stalk is the size of my thumb)
my best advice for u is to do a soil soaking like that .and watch the plant it will droop when the water is all gone make a note of how many days it took (3 days for me) so u know u need to water your plant every 48/60 hours .........but these are my plants i do not know your time it depends on several things so u need to do the test and timing for yourself

I am on 22 days for my biggest (afghani kush ) my humidity is sround 23 avg with a small humidifier in the tent I dont understand why its so low I live in a avg humidity state not dry its on first floor with central air. I end up wstering every day, I have a bucket of water sitting in my tent for humidity that Ill water with (120ppm tap water.)
I only used root excelurator a few times at about quarter strength. I tested my ppm and it was over 1000, I was told I dont need to test ppm in soil? Im off on the wrong foot I believe, I think i read too much cuz now Im overwhelmed with info and it shouldnt be likethatl if i wouldve just watered and used less root eexcelurator I would've been better off IMO.
The other plants are good looking for two weeks though, I topped my strawberry blue if you can see.

If you look at my afghani in smart pot with yellow leaf, I saw that bottom yellowing is N deficiency. But I was thinking thatncouldve happened before cuz I have fresh soil now but I think itd change back some. Its been 7 days since transplant!I dont want to add any nutes though

22 days u should be almost a quart of water ......on the mason jar 800mls
u should increase the rooting u offering it and the grow ...... one thing that can cause nitrogen to intake slow is if the soil is to wet all the time
to make it easy on u order the Go Box .....go box is all in one kit for feeding the plant it is organic so not worries about PHing or flushing the soil for clean smoke
ppm of 1000 where the hell are u i have well water and ppm of that is 60 ...........1000 ppm fuck man u need a filter for the water to clean out crap

if u are city water ........till your tub with HOT water let the tub cool off to room temp it will purge out the chemicals they add to the water system .....once the water is cooled off u can jug it up in water jugs or juice jugs (milk jugs do not work they will grow things in the water u can not clean them out )

and they are right ppm in soil means nothing
but u know your water is 120ppm that is double mine ......... to help lessen it and keep my plants from drooping
i fill a 6 gallon brew bucket with Hot water and let it settle anything in the water and fill my jugs off that ...............if u get the water filtered and do the bucket trick u can add a air stone so the way aborbs oxygen ..........when u flush/ water the plant the droop is alot less since the water had desolved oxygen in it (they do not drowned ) so the droop is maybe a hour 2 hours long compared to a 6/8 with none air stoned water
