Looking good, and lol that amount of nutrition and I would never have any need to go to the shop again
Thanks, I'm gonna wait a little on the co2 for now. Even when I'm ready I wonder if I should get an RO water filter or the co2 generator. I see guys that use ro filter have to add cal mag back in. If I'm at 360 ppm from the tap, whats the benefit in having to use more bottles? At least I know for a fact the co2 will help.
I struggled with this concept too. I came to the conclusion that the CalMag add back is more in balance. Its also lower in PPM than my tap water. The RO gets rid of almost everything, then it is added back at the proportion needed for the plants. Plus it gets rid of chlorine, sulfur, and other nasty crap in the water.
I would go with the Co2 genny myself. Do you know roughly what your water pressure is? Cause if you don't have enough pressure, your gonna have to get a booster pump(for a RO system) . Being in a city, I think you'll have enough pressure, but it never hurts to know ahead of time before buying something.
Your water is plenty workable at 360 ppm's. Remember that 5k grow, I always talk about, that I used to run. The water coming out of the tap there was between 550-650 ppm depending on the time of year. I made it work, even running ebb and flow hydro tables, lol. Although the dirt section there always did better.

How long are you planning on vegging for?
I am moving to new spot in Sept and was looking at maybe doing a sealed room I'll be watching close to see how you do. Been reading up on a bunch of threads with sealed rooms.
Can't wait to get more space either!
Those buds are looking nice and chunky!!
I can't really speak to it, but I think if you're running hydro/coco I'd be more concerned about the quality of water going in, soil I think you can get away with more. So maybe the ro filter? But your plants always look great, so I think you'd benefit more from getting the co2 together. But then again I don't know much!
Also, I see you put the ac inside the tent, are you gonna connect it to a controller or something as to manage temp and maintain co2 levels? Like an on off cycle or something?
The ac has a thermostat and a automatic regulator where I can set the ac at down to 60 deg and it will just maintain that temp.I set it to 79 and it comes out pretty much always 75 in the tent. I just have to use the humidifier to add some moisture. Its still not optimal but way better than the 20-40% rh I was getting the old way.
I wanna say the main thing that I was worried about with this set up is the passive exhaust just leaking out from the bottom of the tent but it seems to be working way better than before. So far I'm really feeling good about this way.
If the AC is taking warm air from the room and pushing cold air into the tent, won't it displace the co2 rich air already in the tent? Isn't a lung room necessary for that kind of set up?
Good question, all I can say is I dont know just yet, but I was thinking about putting the C02 in the bedroom next to the ac intake. For now tho I am jsut gonna get this water under control.
I was thinking about that, maybe a co2 burner in front of the AC. I was trying to do a sealed room, but I couldn't keep the temps in check. I had though about a timer system, cuz I don't wanna spring on a controller ($$$) and I don't think my space is sealed enough to warrant trying to maintain a constant 1200 ppm (I'd assume I'd lose a lot of co2 through leaking and the controller would just leave the co2 on most of the day). When I get it all sorted I'll link all the stuff I use in case a similar path is of interest to you. Also how's the sdxn91 turn out? What does she smoke like?
Deffo keep me posted on that. Im interested in different design setups. I might be able to pick something up.
The sd x n91 is very gassy and strong smelling. Super sleepy diesel. It takes after its mom for the most part but with more density and bag appeal.
I have one at about 3.5 weeks to show.

Smashing it!
I've never thought sour to be sleepy, is the n91 some sleepy bud? And I gotta second DTOG, those babies look happy as hell
I do get knocked out easily but I dont think thats it. The sd is hella afghanica stoney. That came through from mom.
The n91 is potent too but more on the green crack/skunky side, imo. Its smelland taste is where its at with that one. Orange creme spice diesel.

The water from a dehumidifier is the same man. Mine was testing at like 20 ppms. That SD x N91 is looking sweet man. No tip burn at all, and plants are the spitting image of health. Keep up the good work bro!!
