I certainly dont have that knowledge unfortunately but a good thought process i guess lol

2 fans. One pulling from the lung room going into tent at bottom, the other pulling air from the top of the tent going back into lung room.
Yep im going to try and inline fan to bring cooler air inside. Passive isnt getting it done with my tent closed up so tight for flower.
Sorry to butt in I have a quick question. So I planned out my grow to the T. But my wife wants to take an impromptu trip out of town for at least 10 days maybe two weeks. My first question is is there any way my girls will still be alive after that time. Also if they are late in flower, would it be bad to let them dry in the pot?
Second question if I had to chop before hand would they be okay in my dry tent that long? And what would I have to do to ensure they didnāt develop mold.
Iām in a bind and any advice would be tremendous.
If any body knows how I could keep them at least from dying I would be thankful.
Peace
Definitely donāt leave them standing in pots. They wonāt dry, theyāll die. Iād chop em if theyāre in the window. You want a dry to take about 10 days. If you can chop them, hang in tent and keep it around 60Ā°/60% RH it should work out perfectly. A small fan set on low and pointed at the bottom corner of the tent will keep the air from getting stagnant. Iād leave all the leaves on to try to make them take as long as possible to dry.
Edit: @Elysium . Tagged you bc idk if I replied to the thread or your question. Itās Friday night and Iām super stoned. Lol.

Getting rid of any bends & excess lengths of ducting should help claw back CFM. I think a sharp 90deg bend in 4" tubing will knock off something like 30% of the flow. Itās a lot for a bend. But you still could have a greater restriction due to small intake area &/or restrictive carbon filter. You would want to do the flow tests to see.
How much intake area can you open up on your tent? Any more available than what you have been using?
I could not get another cord either. There was a longer one that was never in stock when I was looking, & I also could not get another stock-length cord to daisy-chain to my existing stock length cord which is too short for much good. But then I focused more on watching leaf temps & am less worried about higher air temps now. Although 88f air temps might be too hot.

Thanks brother, appreciate it.

Thank you, I actually worked it out so that if anything they should all be cloudy when I chop and still have a couple of weeks to dry and cure(all though admittedly faster than Iād lik but what are you gonna do). But I appreciate the feedback for the future. So while Iāve got you this is my first time doing LST, could you tell me if I did it right? I mean I know I did it right but will my yield be better than it would have been? This is only my third grow ever. Thanks chief.

Youāll probably always LST once you see the end result. Looks excellent for your first time. Just keep bending to keep the canopy as flat as possible until the stems get too stiff to bend. I bend and tie down whatever tries to become tallest. The more you spread it out and keep it low, the more ātop budsā youāll end up with.

Yeah Iām definitely digging the amount of buds coming in right now. Iāve been trying to bend and tie but the nodes are so close together and once they started flowering there wasnāt any room to tie. I definitely wonāt go back to the old way. Thanks for the advice man.
