Mephisto Genetics Rhyce Saroni's Mephisto lab...

[Rhyce Saroni]

First, I'm starting some autos right now sex unknown... say 50 50... I want two females so I've got two in 3 gal containers germinating now... as back-up I'll make 'sausage' cheesecloth tubes of light soil in about 2.5 inches wide and use them in the event we get any males in the primary containers... in that event, I'll just take out a core and drop in the ready to go 21 day +/- female and let the roots go crazy and the cheesecloth rot away..

Second... longer story... a long time ago I read a great thread in some educational archive area here that went into great detail about how to make your own CO2 generator using water, muriatic acid and marble chips. Combine all three in the proper proportions in a Homer bucket and voila! You've got a $10 CO2 generator! The only byproducts are salt water and sand... So a less longer time ago I set about to begin the process by purchasing two CO2 sensors to test and learn about how my existing environment measures... The grow room is at the lowest part of the house and six inches lower than the rest of the basement (a separate room)... which makes it perfect for doing this... it was just a matter of time... So now I've got one sensor near the bucket to see how much we're generating. The mixture is calculated by figuring cubic feet of air and how much acid to H2O you'll need in a five gallon bucket with a few inches of marble chips in the bottom... The other sensor is right by me in the potting shed so I don't get killed in the event of a leak... lol Don't worry, I've got it covered... or I'm dead...

Talk about upping the game! Heh, heh, heh...

Yikes,

Yikes,

What's so great is that it's not my great idea... just another great one that exists here and beckons to be found... all you have to do is look... says the Zen master...

Ooga Booga... secret chant...

Hmm... do you think I should buy a modern scale or just keep using the old one?

By the way... Here is a link to the post that has the CO2 generator info..

Carbon Dioxide Systems - Cheap and easy!

This is also called a Fizz Pot...

 

[Rhyce Saroni]

Soooo... it's 2:30 am and my fizz pot is bubbling away... like mad science... and I've tuned it to my grow room air space... it's about 1100 ppm average for the entire volume in the room... Just outside, in the potting shed where I sit, separated by a doorway and curtains, that's all, my ppm is a very safe 500-600 ppm... I generate a lot of CO2 so readings in my general vicinity are always 200 ppm greater.. If I go into my grow room and jump up and down I can get it up to 1400... So work out with your plants when the light's come on and you'll see good things happen... circle of life...

 

[Rhyce Saroni]

What the heck... I'll stay up another hour, smoke another doobie and take some final readings before turning in... or dying from too much CO2... no I'm only kidding but if you're not careful, it can be deadly... at these concentrations though it'll just give you a real bad headache and dizzy feeling... take a hit and run in there... lol no don't but I'm sure an adventuresome soul would.... I better go smoke that doobie...

Don't worry I have two CO2 sensors and alarms so if something does go wrong... it was my own damn fault... ta ta...

Announcing multiple births this morning...

Six more Triangle Kush SOG #2 is up and running as of 11:30 last night... all six came up at 2.25 days like synchronized swimmers.. First time they all popped up simultaneously... usually a straggler... off we go with these...

Margahooja - Hubbabubbasmelloscope - DOB 8-18

I had to call it Margahooja... after all he is the KING of the HBSS... Needs something named after him... I'll save him a bud...

[Rhyce Saroni]

Well... I guess I should do an HBSS #1 and #2 update...

HBSS #1 - #2 - Hubbabubbasmelloscope - DOB 6-9 - 70 days
A couple of four foot heavyweights...

Phew... ten weeks! These gals are still giving it up! Both have a good case of curvature of the spine... 978.55 ICD9... anyway, even after being staked with an iron stake... God only knows what the yield will be with these monsters... Stay tuned...
