Coming later today bro, sorry about the delay

And here they are;

I gave them another defoliation a couple of hours ago and I'll flip them soon. Just waiting for the to-be clones to grow out a bit more.

Hopefully it doesn't get too crowded once flower is in full swing.

The first 2 pictures are the before shots, last 2 are the afters.

 

For anyone that may have caught it, they're a bit droopy because they're a bit dehydrated.

I watered them after the pictures so they should be fine in a few hours

Haha, thanks for that bro!
Wish you were around when I was deciding on a username, lol.
If I join another forum I'll use it proudly

I rigged up a small bottle CO2 generator in the tent, will upload some pictures and a video shortly.

I only thought of using it like 2 days ago so I'll just run it in flower this time around. I may run it in veg as well on my next run. It looks cool bubbling away.

I haven't done too much research on it, but the extra CO2 out the bottle wouldn't be enough to hurt anything... And I'm pretty sure it's not even close to dangerous levels for humans(3000ppm)

And no worries, I'm patient. Lol.

Greetings everyone.
Update time.

The tent is looking awesome right now.
I changed the timer to 12/12 and flipped the bloom switch on as well. They're due for a feeding when the light comes on later.

They're also in for a major defoliation in a few days... Let's hope it isn't too much for them to handle.

So about that DIY CO2 generator I mentioned...

I know some of the advantages and disadvantages of running CO2 in a tent and how to properly use it, but I figured it couldn't hurt even though I have a vented setup. I'm not gonna seal up my tent, try to control climate and all that stuff, it's just something new to do and maintain. Please don't hate, lol.

To make the generetor;

- I simply rinsed out a 2L bottle, filled it a bit over the label with tap water (my tap water is pretty clean @67ppm). I know distilled water is better to use but I wasn't up to waiting for some to get delivered or setting up a quick distillation apparatus.

- I added almost a cup full of brown sugar and shook the bottle until all the sugar was dissolved.

- I made a hole in 1 bottle cap for the sugar/yeast mixture and hot glued a pipe in place for the CO2 to travel through as well as to serve as a detector in another bottle.

- I added a 20g sachet of dry, high foam superbrew yeast to the bottle and shook it up a bit (closed with a normal cap) first to mix it up. I then screwed the cap with the single pipe onto this bottle and left it aside to allowe some time for the mixture to start reacting.

- I made 2 holes in the cap for the "detector" bottle, 1 for the pipe from the first bottle submerged in water and the 2nd to channel the CO2 to the circulation fan with both pipes sealed onto the cap with hot glue. The pipe is submerged so it can develop bubbles as CO2 is being formed. This is so I can monitor how active the mixture is.

- I tied a small hand towel over the yeast mixture to shield it from my grow light and placed everything in my tent.


I'll maintain this yeast solution by emptying out 70-80% of the solution out, filling it up with fresh water and adding another cup of sugar.

This will be done every week or so, I'll judge by how many bubbles per/s can be viewed at the detector. The process creates byproducts that will make the solution toxic to the yeast if left unattended for more than a week or 2.

Here's a short video on the setup;


I'll put up a few pictures of it also, in case the link doesn't work for you.

I've included a few shots of the girls as well.

Enjoy.

 

So the generator works but its running out of gas really quick... I need to get bakers yeast and add way less to the bottle... Gonna get the stuff a bit later.

I also need to figure out my sugar:yeast ratio to have the generator run for a week at least.
