Anyone know where I can get one of those small oscillating clip fans in CPT or local online stores? 

Been looking online for some time now. No luck. 

I've got one of those R850 hydro systems. It was my first ever so can't compare it to anything but i found it straight forward and easy to use for the most part.

My only criticism is that the reservoir (45L) may be just a tad bit too big. I found it difficult when cleaning it and changing the water, especially in flower when the plant got bigger. If you go this route I would suggest getting a second reservoir to make cleaning the container and changing the water easier. Unless someone can recommend an easier way. 

I also found that having two plants going in that setup at the same time was way more effort. The root balls were massive and I ended up having to add water every day in the later stages. Currently I have one plant going and it's way more manageable in that reservoir. Not using as much water etc. 

All that being said I still consider myself a noob so perhaps I was just doing it stupid. 

Was thinking of using a biltong/food dehydrator for the drying process. Just without the light, keep the fan running and cover the sides so no light gets in. Sound feasible?

Im afraid the roots dont have the equipment to absorb CO2 to any positive effect. CO2 is absorbed through leaf stomata, close to the chlorophyl and light. Water is absorbed by the roots and photosynthesis combines 6 H2O with 6 CO2 to get to the dextrose.

Further Cannabis is a C3 plant and can only really start using CO2 with measurable results from 800ppm atmospheric CO2. Along with that is the need for intense lighting and higher temperatures to power this turbocharged photosynthesis.

In short your entire grow needs to be entirely sealed to achieve this. 

Plus dissolving CO2 into water means that there is less room for dissolved O2. Roots just love O2.

Keeping your grows real simple will benefit you in the long run.

Thanks man. What a way to waste them tablets then. I figured since the manufacturer said so, it should be fine.

Looks good!

Quick question, are you adding co2 tablets to the nute res?

Yeah, directly into the water where the roots are. That's the instruction from the hortishop, either in water and place close to leaves with extractor fan off or dissolve directly into hydro setup for absorption by roots.

Let that net fill to at least 80% full. Then continue to tuck the first week or 2 of flowering. To me that net is only 30% full. 2 extra weeks of veg will make a huge difference imo.

I'm with you. Just not keen on adding another two weeks to the time line. 

Got a makeshift scrog setup going. Working well so far. Planning to switch to flower by the end of this week. Time isn't on my side and from what I've read, these Church girls stretch +-200%. That would put it at the limit of available grow space if left unchecked.

What bank is the middle one? Can't see any domain or name there and don't know the logo. 

Another week down. 

Topped her a couple days ago. Seems to have recovered and starting to see good daily growth again. I've stuck to changing the reservoir weekly. Feeding with a general hydroponic hortimix bought at the hortishop. 

I've also been adding a c02 tablet to the reservoir every 2 days. Not sure if it actually adds any value but doing it anyway. 

There were some yellow spots on one or two of the leaves. Can't see that it's spread.

Any update on this grow? @Trailblazer420

Just got the same beans from Trophy yesterday and started germination. Will be my first soil and outdoor grow with an autoflower so keen to see your progress. 

At about day 28 now. Growth finally starting to move along at a good pace. 

Been lazy the last couple days. Need to do a reservoir change and some LST. 

Started this grow a few weeks back. Some background, 

GTH tent - 80cm x 80cm x 180cm

DWC set up in a 45L reservoir 

6inch cool tube with 400w MH for veg and 400w HPS for flower

Got "The Church" from Greenhouse seed co. 

Haven't done much so far, just followed some advice and plucked the 5th set of leaves. Seems to have worked as I can see atleast two new main branches developing. Hoping to get a decent scrog going. 

Hey guys. Been smoking on and off for 15 years or so and growing on and off for 2 or so years. Still have plenty to learn. 

Looking to grow much more and with more freedom with recent developments. 

Cheers
