You don't want additional CO2 in your living space for health issues... so if you're going to use it, use it in a sealed room... You could have a sealed lung room and keep the ppms higher in all grow rooms at all times if that's what you're talking about.

Great update buddy. keep em coming.

Hey RJ man I have to say, when I read your thread my first thought was that you were a lunatic. I still think your nuts, but you seem to be doing just fine. I can appreciate the vision and the will to see it through. I just have one question for you though. This is the MOST important question IMO.

Are you having fun? No point to the work, risk, or reward if not.

Pulling up a seat, can't wait to see how those rooms look in full flower. Nice work man.

Just a quick update. I broke my foot 3 days ago and as a result was unable to tend properly to over 100 plants in small containers causing them to get mostly fried. Some larger plants I was storing under floros for a day stretched like a mofo. I'm in a lot of pain but the grow will go on. On most of the the fried plants, the new growth is nice and green so they're not lost altogether but I have to think they'll be stunted fairly bad at least. A lot of lower growth is not going to come back. I may cull some of them to make room for healthier clone worthy plants. I'll post a full response to each of you and post within the next couple days, I just didn't want you all to think I've forgotten about you.
Get better bro. Your health nd fitness come first. Work with what you can handle and heal :).

Good luck with this one bro, i imagine its a pain in the arse working around a few hundred plants with a bust leg!

Most growers start off small then get wild notions about expanding next time out. Cant wait for the thousand planter after this!

How many plants are you working with now btw, u mentioned some got damaged when u broke the leg.

Hang in their RJ......make a plan but prepare for contingencies ...sending you positive Santa Cruz vibes for your foot and grow!
 
RJ best of luck wish you all the best!

And remember it takes alot more energy to hate on someone than to just not care...

I cant believe all of the negative comments, if you dont have anything nice to say then shut up already!

It all comes down to one word... jealousy!

Was in way over his head though....can't deny that.

His ambition is gonna make him a good grower....but holy shit man it takes a bit of time to do a grow like that and its pretty much impossible to do it with 300 plants from seed....

Just doesn't make a whole lotta sense to do it that way...

I don't see any negative comments. RJ posted some pics and some of us were emotionally invested in this guys progress. Hence the guy checking the thread daily. We all have green balls. (horticultural version of blue balls) No ones hating on him. We all know and so did he, that he was in over his head. Especially after life happened and he broke a leg. I don't think anyone here is jealous of the guy. Anybody with 1500 bucks and a garage can run a 3k 300 plant grow show... You are correct however in that it takes more energy to be negative than to just not care. So I gotta go.

Hi guys. I've wanted to post these last few weeks but couldn't for security reasons. My neighbor whom I'd been leaching wireless broadband from must have noticed the decrease in bandwidth and password protected his wireless network. I didn't dare post from a public or a friends computer although I did check in to the thread and longed to contribute. I cleared everything out of my basement for about a week and had the cable guy over and I now have secure internet again. My grow is going OK. The auto-flowering plants are back in the basement and are doing OK for having been kept in a dark room for a week mid-flower. I decided it was too much for me to do to get all six 5x5s going with the bum foot. I have two 5x5s in full flower and a ton of other plants ready to launch. 1/4 of my original batch of feminized seeds are totally root-bound and still in the regular beer pong cups. I'm considering them to be like clones that I've heard people can keep for up to months ready to launch.I'll post some pics a little bit later tonight after I take care of them, I just got home from work and wanted to post before doing any more work.
