Pictures speak more than words. I just lsted the plant because the qb doesnt do a great job of penetrating the canopy. Hopefully the lst will open up the plant.
Board is at about 24 inches above plant.
Im starting 3 more plants which are on a heating tray right now
Don’t want to step on @monkman 's toes, but an exhaust fan will help keep a fresh supply of CO2 for your plants, even if you’re not worried about smells. You want something rated high enough in cfm to replace the volume of air in your tent about every few minutes, as a rough rule. For example, a 3 x 3 x 8 tent would be 72 cubic feet. 72 x 3 minutes = 216, so you’d want a fan that moves about 216cfm…ish.
Edit: I might’ve done that math wrong, but you get the idea.
@elheffe702 pardon me? i don’t see any toes of mine to be stepped on here. maybe you are getting a couple of threads intermixed… as far as adding co2 i’d stand by what i said in the other thread which has nothing to do with exhaust fan or the little fan to help the plants by allowing them to strengthen their stems by adding some movement to air.
@amosmoses by my understanding… an exhaust fan is a must and most if not all tents are designed to have one. i will have mine with a filter so as to keep smell down.
so you run an exhaust for the entire life of the plant(veg/flower)? i want to cut down on electricty costs, so im thinking i can just open some windows in my tent now and put a fan there to circulate air in.
once its preflower time, i will install one to cut back on the smell. sound good?
i would think you would want the fan to run the whole time, but u might need to turn it off or down due to lack of heat. that would be the only reason i could see or have seen in the forums for turning fan off
also, i am a noob that has just got 3 plants to pop out of peat pellets for the first time. i would not be asking my advice on anything about growing anything lol
@monkman sounds spot on to me. I sped mine up sometimes to help with humidity control as well. And we all start out as noobs, no worries! We’re all here to help one another.
The size fans you would need on your grow would not need much power at all, for reference I use two 6 Inch 240 CFM Booster Fans on independent speed controls. Combined they are pulling 38 watts so little more than half a standard 60 watt light-bulb.
I have been very pleased with them, my current grow space is 6’‘x 4’‘x 2’’ On my second grow now, three weeks from harvest and they have been rock solid.
Soon after the election in Michigan I figured I’d try to grow again. Planted 9 seeds from my”collection” and believe I just found out I am having a girl. Looking for some confirmation
I have deemed the thicker stalked plant “A” and the smaller one “B”
Three clones were takes from “A” about 2 weeks ago. I took an additional 4 from “A” yesterday and 3 from “B”
