Well the biological funcicide PreStop didn’t arrive today to treat rust fungus so hopefully will arrive tomorrow. I had also ordered some Serenade which also treats for that too which is supposed to get here tomorrow too.
I just started a test in the room my tent is in in order to raise my C02 ppm as since flowering began my tent ppm has dropped from the 600-750 range down to 450-550 range as I guess they are utilizing more than in veg. I have hung a Exhale bag in tent last week and it’s starting to have a lot of mycelium growth but as of now not producing enough to keep up with demand. This bag was already premixed. Yesterday I decided to also open the Exhale 365 bag and mixed it up and hung it as well. This will not really start producing c02 for another 4-6 weeks according to bag info.
I have a Mr. Buddy propane heater that I brought into the room and set up near the passive air intake and set on low to both up the temps a bit in the tent as since turning off my T5 side lights in tent the remaining lights aren’t keeping temps where I want them during the day of around 76-80. Also this propane heater is rated for use unvented and I wanted to see how much C02 would be added. Well after maybe 1 hour they are up in the 1350 to 1500 ppm range and temps have at lease come up to 76 as well. This increase in C02 ppm should allow me to provide more light that the HLG 600H 54b can provide as up to now the Ppm was too low for increasing light PPFD. Not sure how this will work for things and I won’t be running the buddy heater all the time. Was able to turn the 8” fan to lowest setting as the extra heat from the T5 fixtures no longer add to temps.
Will update my test info as I go on the C02 addition using the propane heater.
Thanks for tuning in
