Anyone know how to find a growing mentor?

i would vent in "cold air" vs exhausting your grow rooms air. doing that (exhausting your issues/heat )not only gives away your grow rooms smell. you will have to use more power by a huge % to cool it vs bringing in cooler air and having the inline fan on a temp controller

plus if you do co2, more sealed and less exhaust = the better and less cost on ya. co2 exp once the room is properly stabilized you can easily run a hotter room and the co2 and higher nutes will bring 20-35% more vigorous results and yields.

Sealed is the only way i would do and some co2, if not thats a huge degradation of your final and plants results, it would be like suffocation with air for a human and wondering why they cant complete their workouts or live as good.

with co2 and higher ppffd =
900-1500 ppm co2, in flower i try to do 1000-1350ppm and on last two weeks before harvets i gradully lower co2 each day and hit till 900-1000ppm to not only save cash but also uneeded .
feed based on co2, so if co2 900 ppm, feed @ 900ppm
tip for feeding:
seedling-3rd week start with 1/4th strength base (epsom @ 1/4 cup per 50 gal whole veg cycle) and anything else your giving at start-mid veg stage, than gradually raise ppm 300-500 mid range veg to 5th week, 5th week-8th week/end of veg gradually raise 500-750ppm
flower feed: first week of bloom ( even in veg stage a week before flipping them to flower stage) = add some bloom booster at 50% for a week before bloom-end fo week 1 bloom. For epsom rate for 1st week-5th week apply at 1/2 cup per 50 gallons than week 2-5 gradually raise your bloom base and misc based on ppfd and co2 and once u hit 5th week apply 3/4 of a cup per 50 gallons epsom salt + PK bloom booster at 25-50%
like co2 and everything your plant intakes, its all about gradually giving more and not over doing any of the inputs or its not only wasteful but stress.
temps 78-86f on canopy
water 68-75f, it can be warmer but biggest issue alot of people they dont uv clean their water if it isnt city water. then they dont sterilize their rez everytime. those things are asking for bad pathogens go wild in organics. if you sterilize and have a preventive scheme for such those issues will be at bay but also you can have waayy longershelf life on your rez/feed before going "bad"

Thanks BH. I like the idea of venting in cold air. I am just having a hard time trying to figure out how that might work given my living situation and this setup. Here is what I am working w space wise below.

i know it’s foolish not to use the window. This would vent into my backyard no problem. I just don’t know what kind of enclosure would be needed to keep moisture and bugs and critters out etc. any suggestions welcome.
Sorry for all the clutter also that will all
Be gone. Directly above those clothes on the ceiling is a vent ( it’s on there because I needed to access a pipe)which I could use for exhaust?

you could easily have a greenhouse hepa filter (wash it every 1-3 months ) or a hvac fulter and replace every 1-3 months of use


greenhouse washable filter:

install example of using hvac filter to prevent everything :


key with a filter is you get what u pay for and if they are hvac it needs to be protected from Moisture or replaced more often than traditional hvac maintenance would need. key is having clean airs and prevention!

So this is kind of like that ink bird? Just more advanced?

 

[Str8firehomey]

So this is kind of like that ink bird? Just more advanced?

When you say Rez, are you referring to the vessel that I will be using to water/hold water? If I only have 1-2 plants would it be a hassle to try to do feedings and mix things as needed? I’m assuming you all premix this stuff or at least that what it appears as I read. Correct me if I’m completely off base here.

 

[BH]

when I mean “Rez” = reservoir meaning the container you hold your water to feed your plants


there is no worry of what size your pots or how many plants because like I stated if you do every preventive I stated above and run clean “water” meaning uv watered if well water and have proper filters and inbetween refills of Rez you sterilize it , you won’t have the issues of brewing organics like some do and the bad pathogens take over very quick. If ur and proper filters the mixture can last for weeks np vs only days if that


when I mean by no worry of what size, even if you only made it a simple cal/mag + fulvic + Epsom and anti fungus gnats and enzymes . as long as u were applying a base nute ethier by dry amend ontop of the medium or apply it directly to ur Rez .

‘’than when u want customize teas or just to apply small amounts , just scoop some out from ur rez to a 5 gal bucket and make more speciality based but don’t have to keep remaking all the main stuff every time + temp issues ( cold water = bad intake )

 

[BH]

So this is kind of like that ink bird? Just more advanced?

not trying to insult ya, I have zero clue what ur talking about

 

[BH]

for a good suggestion on all in one base that’s organics, gives ya a good starting population And great families of beneficial bacteria/fungi

this base when you only need to apply via every week o top of the soil/medium and then have all your other stuff like I stated above in the Rez so it’s room temp and cal/mag and certain things are better to apply via drench ( water applied) vs dry amended

this is a “all-in-one” all organics for grow cycle, than bloom and man my outdoors and friends I referred to showed not only great terp % but plants love it and really can’t make it anymore easier and simple but also if you tried to buy all the stuff in these products , good luck trying to grind it to their level of solubility but also Inless u were buying for huge commerical you couldn’t get a better price. Plus it’s perfect math for cannabis and main based veggies so you don’t have to play vooodoo on maths of application 4 organics .

What did that pluse cost you anyway

the pulse is awesome cause you can put it on your hottest point of your canopy and know vs your “room temps” cause so many times after I had a therometer and my pulse I knew or was warned my canopy was not in my zone of what I want.it saved my grow from failures and stress but also got me to know cause it journals and also shows the averages of everything that I’m doing my room and specifically the canopy zone. That’s the only thing that matters

pulse was 180, I will see if I can find the 20 bucks promo

 

[Capt's Farm]

If that was my area I would put a fast wall up and a door and forget about a tent....

 

[BH]

I would spray the walls with kilz anti mold premier than gorilla tape some panda film ( key is it does not retain moisture vs traditional plastic ) intill a foot front the bottom so mold isn’t a issue and

if making a “inner room” vs tent , you could even use anti mold dry wall than prime it and put Panda film ( that’s what I did ) and put gap-a-fill on bottom of drywall so it’s ultra protected

Way more bang for the buck..
For that just some green drywall, 10 2x4's a exterior door... and a few hrs... then you can have a non stop grow yr round..

I put 3 layers of r30 for my inner roof of my room and since it’s sealed and outdoor graded doors, room can keep its heat and cool when needed np

 

[Gweedo's Growroom]

I was gonna put this out there earlier I'm pretty sure it's safe to say most of us have expanded more than once, I started with a 4x8 then 2 4x8s now a room with a 4x8 and the other 4x8 in a seperate room for males,breeding, and drying, I veg in the tent in the room and flower with the rest of the space, in short your gonna need or want more space really quick and it's definitely some food for thought, especially when you look at ROI it's not like were growing salad lettuce here you will make back or save your investments relatively quickly imo and I also believe it's a lot less finicky to control when your working in a slightly bigger space

 

[Capt's Farm]

Unless you're a person that loves to watch paint dry.
Your going to find there's To Much Down Time with just 1 tent... 4 to 6 plants sound like a lot..but it's not when uts only 3 times a yr....

HOLY SHIT YALL. did i miss the part where his first grow was on the International Space Station?! We've thrown so much info at him, lol.

Been 3 days since it happened any idea's on how to get it rebooted and running...
