Alright, I set it up. I'll post back in a few with my results. Thanks bro. I'm also using that ice trick so fingers crossed.
Set that up also.
Give a bit of time. You have the walls in the room warm. It may take awhile to see the full effect. Gotta cool that thermomass down.
Your statement is not entirely accurate. A hard wind is almost like natures way of super cropping. If your fans are blowing hard enough it will cause minute damage to the tissue in the stems causing the plants to rebuild the damaged tissue making the branches stronger.
Yeah, I've heard of "Wind Burns" before.
well this is true, but ohgr, is accurate too. for the wind be blowing hard enough to be "natures way of osuper cropping" you are causing more damage then good. "wind burns" read about it, its pretty interesting
I turn my lights on at 7am and turn them off at 1am. Well, the timer does.
Wind is something that occurs in nature therefore it is a part of a plants natural enviroment. A plant can handle a good amount of wind before it damages the plant that badly(your average wal-mart fan is not even going to come close).Some stress can be a good thing for your plant, it can encourage growth in veg and promote more resin production in flower. If you have a nice hard wind going once you have an established root system your plants will become stronger. When your building muscle you are breaking it down and your body rebuilds it stronger to handle the stress, I see wind as a natural workout for my plants. Have you ever heard of hardening off your plants when your moving them outside? When you harden off a plant you are exposing it to the natural enviroment little by little so the plant can withstand the wind, intense light, and other environmental stressors making it stronger and being able to thrive under those conditions. I do agree that too much wind in bloom will effect resin quality so I make sure to turn down the fans but make sure I have adequate air flow but about 3-4 weeks after germination I crank up the fan and I've always had great results and I rarely have to use support.
I have a good fan like that also blowing on the one plant 24/7. The cheap plastic one is over by my door sucking kool air in. It's just my other plant that was in the same pot sorta got blown over. So now I'm looking up how to keep your plant stems growing up straight without to many curves in them. Coming up sorta empty. Thanks by the way on that 7pm to 1pm time advice. I'll keep that in mind for my next grow.
