she looks really good, it is almost more of a black in some spots.

Ya, right on, same as me. But you had some cfl's in the mix too right? I've been thinking about my odor issue, not ventilation cause I'm good there, just the smell, but I'm still thinking inline fan/filter system. Are you running one in your tent and if so what cfm are you using?

I was talking to a guy last night who started a thread about growing plants upside down, like they're doing with tomatoes these days, and he got 4 set up pretty new in 12/12. Pretty cool idea. He's got some things to tweak on the idea but it seems to be working. Here's the link. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/392510-rightside-up-upside-down.html

I only bring it up cause I was thinking about the wasted space above my light and I thought this with a vertical grow, maybe with some little motorized spinner that turns the plants (kinda like a light mover). Only issue I can think about this so far is weight, and a different way of doing it than his pail method. Holy crap, there I go straying off wildly again. Oh well, I typed it, so I guess I'll post it. :eyesmoke:
ive seen a grow in a decked out trailer made to grow upside down pot plants, it looked like it took alot of work and his end results around the same as regular growing
Ok, here we go. Lemon G LSTed from the start 6 days into flower.

Sitting in an 18 inch wide 5 gallon pots.

I'm in an 8 x 4 x 6'2 tent with two 600W hoods and run a 440cfm with a huge filter and it seems to be dong just fine.

So I should be good with a 200 cfm fan, at or abouts? Im not drawing through my lights, just filter, fan and out. Also these Vortex are supposed to be the primo fan and quiet, but could you sleep next to it if its running in your tent
i had a 4 inch inline fan from my hydro store, i forgot the brand but it was a high quality one cuz i know i spent more. it was rated at171cfm. i was not drawinf throug my lights or a filter just used it to get hot air out and it worked great i only needed it on like for a few mins every 15-20 mins or so. and i could not sleep near mine it was to loud but i am also a person who likes complete quite when sleeping

Definitly. You've got half the tent I do so half the fan would be good.
It's all about finding the ballance of venting into the tent to feed the fan enough air.
With your size tent one side vent opening should work well.
(I'd do 1/2 a vent on each side of the tent to maximize the fresh air flow around
the plants. I open all 4 of mine about a 1/2 of the way giving me 2 full openings with my fans right by the two on the ends)

Be prepaired for the temp to drop a little with the air flow.
I have my exhaust sitting in the door way blowing the warm air through the house, with the door
almost closed to keep enogh heat in the room too. With double 600 Watt hoods I'm cooling as much as I'm filtering, with No smell at all if I have everything closed up and the fan/filter running.

Thanks for all the response guys. If you look, you can see that my tent is backed up to a draped window. The bottom of the window is actually just above ground level so when I crack the window, even an eighth of an inch, the cold air just flows down the drape and get sucked in by the small fan inside the tent. During the day there is no heat in the room and with the tent fully zipped up and only the back vent open I have a hard time keeping above 25C (77). Night temps are 20 (68). Anyway I'm looking to clean and vent the warm air into the room, which has a baseboard heater that's killer on the bill, killing all kinds of birds with each watt.

The link is to the fan I'm looking at, which is stretching my budget as it is right now, and then I gotta think filter.

Cheers Duchie.

can someone help me
Ya, wanabe. The beginning of the thread has a lot of answers for you. But in a nutshell it's about Low Stress Training the plant and there's a few different ways to do it with one where you bend it over. Another is where you top the plant and then pull back/apart (train) the branches so light can penetrate into the plant more. Some people use string or twine, hooks or anything else they can find. There's someone here who likes colorful pipecleaners :) As far as when to start, well you want the plant to be healthy and flexible. I wait until it has grown 4 or 5 nodes out first.
