I used ionic also because I was told it was easy for a first timer.
Its working good as far as I know. I'm using ionic grow with ionic boost. Cal mag plus, Floralicious Bloom, Sweet Grape, B Cuzz Bloom, Liquid Karma, and Grotek Monster Bloom. This is my first time I'm not even sure if some of the additives are doing the same stuff or not lol. I'm happy with the results but what do I know.

ok guys weve been doing some reading on here but we still need a little help from co2 users.
is there really no smell when sealing a room and using co2, with a recirculating can filter?......im used to exhausting through with a fiter with no smell but am really scared about not having neg air pressure in a room.....how does this work?
what exaclty do I need?.......not sure if im going to go with a burner, or tank....whats your take?....how many deg do burners raise the temp?.......just dont really like the idea of buying tanks every month or so
regulators, controllers, meters, shit Im confused...so many
thanks for any help

Ms Weekend, I've been using a 70lb charcoal filter with a 440cfm fan in a sealed room for about 2.5 years and wouldn't be without it for sealed room co2.
If you use a digital co2 monitor you shouldn't burn up the tanks too fast. I cut my consumption in half when I went dig.
I'll never use propane in a house where I live again. Nearly joined the big grow room in the sky when a solenoid went bad once.

CAP Products makes the most inexpensive monitor/controller for the money. Very reliable for the money (around $650 or so.)

so all i would need is a bottle & that CAP controller?
do you live in your house, and there is no smell from the room?....how big of a room with a 440cfm fan?

Yeah I live there which is why I went with a sealed room. The room is about 12x10 and if you didn't know what was happening you would never suspect it.
Co2 bottles waste away with out a controller. Cool thing about the CAP is the fuzzy logic feature which allows it to constantly readjust itself in reaction to temp & humidity.
Also if you have animals inside it helps to keep down the dander.

Hey everyone, need a little advice. Coming up on a harvest in the next week and I am wondering what you guys think. I have been flushing for the past 2 weeks, the pots are becoming dry, should I water a small amount or let them dry out?
The strain is california skunk and its the usual 8 to 9 weeks possibly 10 week flowering period. I know the only true way to tell is to check the trichomes, but I feel like I may have started flushing too early.
What would you all do, take a few plants at 8 weeks, then take some more at a later date?

Looks good ace but I would let that go a little longer. You can use a 30x zoom to check on trichrome development. Some people swear on letting the pots dry out some don't. I find the most important thing is to give it a dark period of 12-36 hours so all of the salts return to the roots. Makes for a tasty flush. Hope that helped, HappyDog.

why would you ever let your pots go dry?.....keep flushing them till you feel they are ready....they look pretty ready to me(cant see them that well with the little pics)..........but no need to dry the pots before harvest, or put them in the dark for 4 days, or harvest by the moon....all folklore bs

PM is as bad as it gets. And you don't know if a clone/plant has it until it's too late. Usually by the time you diagnose it your entire room is affected. I had only heard of one person getting it in CO though. This is bummer news...be careful folks.
