Wow your fresh air has some high co2!! Mine is right around 350-400ppm.
I was starting to get worried about my clones not taking root!! After 14 days I saw only about 5-7 rooted clones. Then finally the past couple days more and more roots started showing up. Today I'm at around 30 rooted clones out of 44. I'm thinking over the next few days most if not all should finish rooting. I'll snap some pics of them in a couple days when I do my weekly update ....

Something is wrong/off/etc!
The 2012 average annual concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere (Mauna Loa Observatory) is 393.84 parts per million (ppm). The 2011 average was 391.65 ppm.
Soon, I swear. Gonna have some time tomorrow and I'm putting on calender.
Awesome!!!! Can't wait to see pics of your girls.
I was supposed to update with pics today but was too busy doing my final heat treatment on my girls. They seem completely unaffected by the heat treatment. Which is great as I was kinda sweating doing it this late in flower but at least now I feal fairly confident that I should have no issues with BM's for the remaining 5 weeks. Before I head to work tomorrow I will snap some pics and give a full update of what's been going on the past week. Thanks

Alright, update time!!! So about 3-4 days ago I did a very light defoliation of my canopy. Just to try and let a little more light through. I also raised my lights 3-4 days ago. Finally took a tape measure to them and lights were WAY to close!!! closest light was 18" away from the canopy!! No wonder I was getting some bleaching going on. Moved lights as high as they would go and they are now about 24" from canopy. Much better!!
Last night I wanted to do one more preventative heat treatment before buds get to big. Everyone seems happy after heat treatment, pistols still look the same and plants look happy.
I'm going to do another round of defoilation early next week. I figure I should let plants recover from the heat treatment first. No need to stress plants with too many things!!!
Here are some pics. Start of week 5

nice looking canopy at week 5, tagged!!! thanks for sharing & good luck for harvest LEDNewbie
Thanks u sir. Much appreciated!!!
So I'm not gunna lie. I'm kinda shitting my pants right now!!! LOL!! Tomorrow I'm leaving town for 3 days. Longest I've ever been away from my grow. Heck I've never been away for more than a day. System has been running flawlessly up till now. Still scares the shit out of me being away this long and not being able to check and make sure everything is A ok. I will be able to monitor what's going on in the room with my phone so that's no biggy. Just wish I had a way of monitoring my drip system making sure everything is working well on that end. Guess I will just have to have faith in what I built. Hahahaha. Update when I get back as that will be end of week 5.

That's awesome!!!! You have a ganja growing Down syndrome helper!!!! I think that has to be a first!!!!!
Scariest part for me is having a pump failure or something or a timer failure and I'm not there to catch it!!! Time had to come where I leave the system to do its thing on its own. That time is now!!!!

SO got back into town this evening. First thing I did was check the grow. To my delight drip system worked without a hitch..... But I did notice something weird going on since I was gone. It seems as though the plants from about the mid point of table to far end(closest to back wall) have developed what looks like burned tops???? Only thing I can think of is nute burn??? And the only reason I can think of why only the middle to back of my scrog has this burning going on is because those plants receive more light from the reflection of the Orca Grow Film on the back wall. If you guys could please have a look at the pics and let me know if you think my theory is correct or not? Dumb me I decided to change my feed from 3 times during lights on to 6 times during lights on and never really got to test it before I left. Well I don't think I was getting any run off with my drip times and think thats the cause of the salt build up?
I checked run off this evening and it was showing 2.0-2.2 EC and PH 6.2. I then ran 30 gallons of 0.6-0.8 EC Nutes with 5.7 PH through my drip system and run off is now between 1.2-1.4 and PH 6.1. I adjusted my pump timer so that at each drip the pump will run for a longer period. I should get run off at each drip now which should fix the salt build up issues???
Other than these "burned" tops I did notice some growth in the 3 days I was gone so that was nice to see.
