Fresh air has enough CO2 but adding more during light(s)-on hours can help. ;)

When you said...lights on ....I'm assuming that CO2 is only absorbed by the plant during lights on or daytime photoperiod.Is the same true when feeding or watering that the plants intake is greatest during daytime or lights the lights on photoperiod? thanks Sister

There are signs of nutrient/pH issues in those last pictures, keep an eye on it...

Day 54 and I plan to feed for 1 more week before I begin to flush, The girls are filling out and gaining weight and have approx.50% red hairs and all tri's are clear. I think I'll add 2 more clip-on fans to counter the heat from the SS 400 on my next grow. Will add some recent photos soon. adios

Happy B-Day on day 60 and all is looking good.They still have alot of white hairs,approx. 80%,and all Tri's are clear.I was thinkin I might start the flush program soon,what do you think sister? Also,have you ever heard off or attempted this drying method? Immediately after cutting submerge in clean PH'ed water for about 1 min. to break a sheath and increase drying ability.Then hang in a dark ,cool room,50% humid.,and some fans running.Some photos soon to follow.Thanks in advance SME and cheers to all.

Álthough different than the process you mentioned, there is something called "water curing" and afterwards the plant material dries in about two days. For me air drying can take up to a week and a half. When water curing, you submerge the plant in RO water for a week. Change the water everyday. You will see brown stuff in the water but it will become less every water change. The process uses osmosis to carry impurities out of plant cells. The result is product that looks grey or brown. No flavor or smell and a slight decrease in weight. They also call this stealth weed because there is no discernible weed smell when smoked.
