Yea I've thought about it......I'm not exactly sure if the 'ends justify the means' if u know what i'm sayin. More money, more hassle, more configuring.....much better buds? Or do I say screw the tank and get something DIY or a paint ball gun co2 tank manually? I dunno.
I thought the DIY for CO2 in a 2 litre bottle was a good one. Cheap, easy and seemed to work faorly well! just an idea!!!!

Plants are looking pretty good. Day 10 of flower (59 total). Both PPP and SW look very similar in all aspects at the moment. Only noticeable difference is the shape of the leaves. Hairs are slowly starting to emerge. They smell pretty nice, nothing overpowering at all. :joint:

Changed the flood period to about 3 minutes..it fills up fast. I put a clamp on the drain so it'll stay flooded for a bit longer...drains in about 2 or 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds now. Still flooding 3x a day, considering upping it to 4x.

I think the flower room fan was sucking hot air from my house inside my grow room and out the roof. So I turned down the fan speed.....I'm awaiting results.

The temperature as of the end of the light period was about 74F, and humidity was at 46% (it went up about 20% because I stopped the oscillating fan....I'm going to try and move it more towards the tops once the buds start forming).

Veg room

My SC and AK seedlings are about 9 days old or so and are looking normal.

Pics

My pics suck.....I need to get a better digital camera and stop relying on my phone.

Your plants look awesome! Lots of nodes and branches, you should get some nice bud formation. Have you changed your nute formulation since you started 12/12? How much are they drinking? My 3 PPP are using over a gallon a day.

Keep it up!

Your looking really good BB. I hope you get as much sweet dank as it is looking like. I am right about with you in flower time. I am thinking about the middle of Feb for me how about you?

Once again those are some nice looking plants.

Thanks KPW....Imma check ur journal out right now. I'm thinking mid/late January is when I am gonna chop...but of course I'm going to use my eyes as the final guide :) I guess 6-7 more full weeks and I'll be ready to chop. Dry for at least a week (depending on how I do it) and then cure for another 1-2 at least before trying it.

You have more patience than I if you wait that long to try it out Hee Hee.

I already have a few trimmings laying out to drybongsmilie.

I messed up the date of my harvest BB, I will be chopping at right about the same time as you will. I started my first flowering on 11/16.

Day 32 Flower (81 Total)

Temp = 72F / 27% RH - Daytime

I should have some high quality pics here over the holidays. For now, these will have to do. They're finishing up their 5th week of flower, so they have a good 3-5 weeks left. The SW's are about close to 3ft and the PPP are well over and want to keep movin! You'll notice the bent PPP stalks in pics 1-2.

Only changing res about every 2 weeks. I'm using Advanced Nutrients' Sweet Leaf in addition to Botanicare's PBP.

Veg

My Strawberry Cough and Afghan Kush plants in veg are close to 30 days old and are looking a bit small for their age - But otherwise, they're doing ok. I have low humidity in the veg room...and temps are hovering around 70. The roots are popping out evverrrryywhere out from the rockwool cube.....I need to get them into something bigger asap. I went ahead and put some damp towels in the room as well, to try and get the humidity up.

Pic 4 - Xmas spirit!

P.s - I did chop off a few of the real small branches that wern't going to get any light coverage from the buttom.....sampled a tiny bit of bud that was growin that did have trichomes (bout 4-4.5 weeks flower)....it wasn't anything special....dried it for 36 hrs....gave me a slight cerebral buzz.
