I was checking timber lights out as you recommended. Im positive there great since I know you know what your doing but they are very expensive even a 100 watt light.
They are like DeWalt tools. Buy it once and buy it right. That being said i have seen excellent results with CFL's and heap LED panels. My fear though would be a ceap light taking a dump in the middle of stretch or flower or something. With the cheap lights you end up payin more in the ong run because they don't last. I would buy the smallest light Timber has and keep everything small and build it up as I go.

As I said my auto blueberry is 39 days flowering but I wanna show you guys something. Its not a big deal just a weird 5 fingered leaf but in the middle clearly you will see that the leaves split from 1 to 2 fingers instead of different leaves and the plant has only had this 1 odd leaf.

Also I have a week old photo blueberry and the first set of leaves already have a blue tint and it took until almost flower for the auto to develop blue tint in the leaves.

Im not positive for sure.I took some off for that reason for my blueberry auto that's budding pretty good but always heard either way can be a help. If you do your tops buds might get more out of growth. But,the rest might burn or more likely for disease etc.. Because those fan leaves absorb the problems so im not positive as I said
I see, I see... I did a straight water feeding last night and I think that is what I will do from here on out...

I'm liking cob kits... when I get a bigger tent that's the way I will go...

If you do straight water feeding my opinion is that the fan leaves probably want matter other than absorbing photosynthesis and that helps too but as I said that's my opinion.

We were talking about a 4" fan versus a 6" fan - the 4" has a fan speed of 2500RPM and the 6" has a fan speed of 2730RPM - run those motors side by side and the difference of dba's at 9' is inaudible. For the purposes of growing a few plants in a tent like the one described, the differences between a 4" doing 184 cfm and a 6" doing 184 cfm are almost inaudible also. I do Industrial Ventilation in my day gig BTW. More here: https://www.donaldson.com/en-us/
when you dial the 6" down over half you would be closer to 12-1300 rpm to move the same amount of air as the 4" going 2500rpm.. I just went and tried and there is quite a difference between a 4" going full and a 6" over half.. the 8" going quarter speed was even quieter and all are moving roughly the same amount of air.

not trying to be a dick but go ahead and actually do it and tell me the difference is "inaudible"

So which is better in your opinion?

I can only speak for how I size fans for industrial ventilation. CFMx60/Area means all day long a 4" fan that does 184cfm dialed back a tad is the correct fan.... If it was me I'd save my money and get a 4"...in fact I did and it works great!

You're splitting hairs now. For the space he is talking about a 4" is more than adequate. If noise is a concern it can be easily mitigated by baffling or remote mounting.

And I believe you and that its what I will and should do
