Well air flow in flower, esp in the last 3 weeks, is and can be detrimental, During flower high temps will cause fox tailing, and scraggly buds. But humidity issues in late flower can lead to bud mold.. So it is damn important, just not nearly as much in veg.. There is also such things as VPD..

Yes just keep the black one that is in the corner, and aim it a little up so that you are blowing against the cooltube, to keep heat off the canopy.

No deff take out that one in the trellis netting.. put it on the floor and aim it up thru the canopy on low.

Thanks bro.. It doesnt require much. Mj is just another plant and its rather easy to grow. There are a lot of other plants far harder to grow.

In your picture you have a fan right in your trellis netting. Take it out, and sit it on the floor aiming straight up from under your canopy. Dont worry about touching anything else.

i dont need airflow on the plant tops?

No you dont need direct air flow on the tops. You need to
A. Move hot air away from the top of canopy. That is the window between the tops of your plants and the bottom of the hood. Pushing it upwards so its collected by the filter and extracted.
B. Use the other fan under the canopy to push air on low up thru the canopy. On the bottom of your tents you have flaps you can open for ventelation.
Your extraction fan pulls air into the tent at the bottom, then will be pushed up thru the canopy and then the other fan also pushes it up to the filter to be extracted. That will prevent mold and wont cause the plants to be stressed.

hahhahaha
back helpin people
it is addictive aint it?
@Nafydad420
you just need airflow no need for the tops
more just keeping the heat away but if the cooltube is doing its job then just airflow in general

can i just leave that oscillating fan where it is? its on low and i can just point it more up, or lower it closer to the ground.

I direct the air just above the plant tips and below the light and not to strong, you will keep the canopy closer to ambient and circulating fresh air without directly on plants that’s a good thing. As for RO/distilled I don’t use it and my water is 200 ppm, 7.5 ph, but if I could I would run one just to make things easier, I spent a lot of time dialing things in and took lots of notes to refer to. What are you using for an air pump? What about water temps? Have you given any thought to sterile versus beanies? The most important thing IMO is providing enough DO and I’ve seen many people asking “what’s wrong”? First thing I typically ask is show a pic of the roots and that answers the question, brown/black spaghetti

Lol well I like watching ppl succeed. That is the addicting part. But I am trying to utilize my time more constructively. As soon a s I eat lunch then im back down there getting it ready. Im gonna change out the water in the cloner today, and get them a fresh helping of +life... I read gnomes thread everyday to see how everyone is doing. It made it easy to keep track of their success.

That would be the black one sitting in the corner right? If yes, then yes, leave that one there and point it slightly up.

the one that is sitting in the corner on the left, isnt oscillating, the one in the under the trellis is oscillating. the one in the middle i have propped on a box so it sits higher

All good info... I have seen a few ppl slide by with 200ish ppm water. Is it from a city water source? The only problem being that the Ca in it is not the kind that the plant uses.... and has been known to cause ph fluxations or instability. Do you ever have ph instability?I direct the air just above the plant tips and below the light and not to strong, you will keep the canopy closer to ambient and circulating fresh air without directly on plants that’s a good thing.

Pretty tight scrog ya got there.
solid work. I'll be scrogging for the first time next run. Hope my patience for training can meet me something similar. But realistically I'll get lazy some where and let one or two climb in the reflectors. Again. It doesn't help that I'll be in stinky ole Rhode island for a week right after I want to flip. Maybe I'll hold off popping my next beans a week to oblige

Solid advice. I always kick over my oscillating fan near mid to late flower and let it ow upward between my buckets. Even with ac running 24/7 my humidity wants to be in the 70s
