So little update.I managed to gain just shy of a foot. Now the section ill be growing in is now a 4x4x5. And i made a 9x9 cement pad. It was a very wet dirt floor before. And then i got the four corner posts up. Hung the 4ft 3bulb T5 for light to work and at some point to put my seedings will go under it. And the brackets to hang the cool tube and charcoal filter. Started putting all the fans and things together for ventilation.
@Familyman420
Just wanted to stop by and say hello
If I can assist with anything just tag me
I’m around most days lol
Happy growing and nice agree with the peeps and feel Co2 is necessary for most home grower
Since you are producing it anyway you mike wish to keep fermenting bucket close to your intake fans if growing in tent it definitely wouldn’t hurt but if your thinking of spending $ I would say don’t waste it at this point
Anyway welcome as @Niala most of us are willng to help in anyway possible

@Countryboyjvd1971 Thanks. Please feel free to follow along. Yes i agree wouldnt spend $ on any co2 . My original question was more along the lines of would it work?, and was any other grower/brewers using or have tried it? Over winter I make alot of wine with the fruits we grow all summer, and alot of mash. Im thinking depending on how much space i can spare ill throw a few 5gal fermenting buckets in, im running wwa so about perfect timing also. The Co2 is going to be made and completely wasted so if the plants get anything extra from it, its a win win. It cant hurt.

@Familyman420 I’ll be following along bro but I do follow a lot and sometimes I get behind on my reading ng that’s qhy I suggested tagging me when your looking for me just a FYI
In short yes it will Work and the more buckets you have going the more co2 you’ll produce it is beneficial and as I state ssince your home brewing and producing it I would go ahead and use it brother will not hurt so yes I agree win win
And you can drink the end product so triple win hahha
I used to do yeast sugar and water dyi setup for a while I found it wasn’t worth the labor for me but I wasn’t making anything to drink I say go for it buddy
And I’m using the nog line I’m loving it so far will give final review when I harvest
I’ll tag you into that thread
I’m doing a scrog with gold leaf and promix Bx soil
As far as advice with Autos the feeding schedule is broken down to early veg middle veg and late veg
Same with flower so you’ll need to determine where the plant is Autos grow fast so maybe posting pictures as you go so we can assist you if your not exactly sure where they are in life also floliar feed them with the bloom kaos they send my gold leaf reach scrog screen in 4 weeks frm sprout 
screen is about 30 inches off floor
What soil are you using ?

@Countryboyjvd1971 Im using supersoil for bottom half of the pots, the top half will be a homemade potting soil mix w/ about 20% cocco loco. Im starting the seeds in rapid rooters. Once i get good roots they are going right into the 3gal airpots. And under the scrog.
X-mas at familyman420’s house today! My meters came today along with rapidrooters,and active air fan speed controllers for intake and exhaust fans.

Worked on grow room for a few hours got the walls up brackets hung for the light and charcoal filter.Intake fan and duct work is installed and working. Made a 30 gal tub of organic soil for top half of my pots to put the seedlings into and about and about ten lbs of soiless substrate to fill the solo cups with. Plan is to finish up this weekend by sunday and have a little dry run to make sure it all works right. Drop beans in the water sat.
Found this in storage. Thought my exwife sold it all but apparently just my ballast. Its a sun systems 400hps sealed hood.

Dude looking good and glad ex didn’t throw it away haha
To bad on ballast
Just catching up bro in my reading keep me posted on the progress
The probe meter you have I personally wouldn’t trust for soil ph reading we seen it to many time where folks try to use them and they just don’t work
Also check calibration on the digital meter regularly those are know to loose zero 
those yellow ones
They work just need to be recalibrated often
Happy growing CB
Merry Christmas to me!! Good morning and happy on the homestead… Dont know the rule on mentioning stuff from other sources but this NOTG free sample line up is a great deal! 29.99$ covered the shipping. Not even sure ill need it, maybe during flower some but hoping both my living organic potting soil and my ss will take me most of the distance.

Magnetic 400 watt ballast kit is about $40 online (ANSI S51). You need the ignitor and capacitor too. If she sold those you need to get a ballast kit that has them. Bulb is $20 and change at Home Depot.
@ BigFella. Thanks. Yeah i dont like/ trust those cheapy mag. Ballasts. If i was a single collage kid running in my apartment closet i know they work good. But i wont run anything except nice sealed up digital ones now. I do own a 250hps old mag served me well bk in the day. I originally was thinking of selling this sun systems hood bc next lights i buy are going to be LED, but now my wifey pointed out if we have amy issues with our new cool tube it might be nice to have on hand
Good morning everyone. Trimmed yesterday from 7 am till 1130pm. Had wife trim about 5hrs and my buddy trimmed with me about the same amount of time. Before i post a little am bud porn, i need to give a shout out to ILGM’s magic beans. Didnt get into the strawberry kush yet but this super skunk is a huge producer think sticky buds. Seriously i think its so sticky i could roll it into a ball and throw it at the wall it would stick. Super dense. Super sticky. This is my best friends gardens. First day of hunting yesterday forced us to get on the ball…lol He did great and only lost a lbs or less then 2 to mold other then that the Gods of Ganja looked in favor of his gardens, and mother nature caressed his girls just right! You know who u are. Good job man. Hard works over props!

Soaked 6 wwa seeds in h20 for 12hrs. Then into rapid rooters. 12 hrs later 5 of 6 are sprouted! Hopefully when im home from work the last one will have joined us.
Went home to see my baby girls on lunch break just now, and… “Shes alive!” 6 for 6. Thanks ILGM

HELP!!! The clones are looking rough… The one with roots showing out of the peat pellet was put in seeding soil 2 days ago and this morning i opened the humidity dome and there was mold on top of the soil. They didnt look great when i got them but they haven’t gotten better or worse. On a positive note my w.w.a. seeds are 6 for 6!!! 100% success rate glad I went with ILGM for my beans.
