Anyone else? How do you get a fan in your growing area while still keeping the panda film as close as possible to the plants?

Well, I have installed a small axial fan down low pushing air into the box, and a vent up high to let air escape, so I guess we'll find out soon enough! I will post the answer here in a day or two.

Just a bump, anyone heard of this or know the answer?

Now that I think about this some more, I wouldn't need a dehumidifier. In the summer, when the A/C is on, if it gets too dry I would need a humidifier. In the winter, the A/C is off but it's much drier in the winter, so again I would need a humidifier. So really, all I would need is a...

I was thinking the other day, that an easier way to water cure, so you don't have to change out the water every day, would be to put the buds in some sort of container with a tight-fitting lid. Poke a LOT of small holes in the lid (too small for the buds to escape) and one larger hole, just big...

Hi everyone, As some of you may know, I am looking into a sealed room grow. Full environmental control, CO2 supplementation, etc. I have heard that starving the plants of CO2 during the beginning of flowering will cause them to grow bigger buds, because they are producing more stomata in an...

The reason I'm thinking about experimenting with high humidity is because I have heard that low humidities tend the close the stomata or whatever, the plant trying to protect itself by not over-transpiring. High humidities have the opposite effect, keeping the stomata open. I will be using...

Hey all, Trying to design a sealed room. Cool-tubed lights to control expel thermal heat coming from HIDs. CO2 tank to bring fresh CO2 without generating heat. Carbon scrubber to get rid of odour. And I thought I had the temperature problem solved by going with a dual-hose A/C (with...

Hello folks, Can I use a fan to cool the temps in my res to below ambient temp? I don't mean like blow across the water surface, I mean blow air along the outside of the res. To be more specific, my res is isolated in a small insulated box just slightly bigger than the res itself. If I put an...

Thanks Roseman. I certainly am aware that circulation is a necessity, not an option! I am just trying to understand how people get their fans in there, when the panda film needs to be as close as possible to the edge of the grow area in order to maximize light? If, as you suggest, the fans...

Earl, I am just researching, I have no intention to try and prove that HP-aero is better than LP-aero. Grow however you want, I just had some questions about this style of grow. Please, let's not deteriorate this thread into a "growing style A vs. growing style B".

I stopped looking at the Amfog nozzles when I found out the price!

What kind of fan? Axial or centrif?

Might not be a matter of more fans or higher cfm, might be a matter of better fans, or rather more appropriate fans, like a centrifugal.

My hydro shop has these awesome little rubber fittings, they are like grommets but longer, you drill a hole down low in your bucket and stick one in, then you run in your line and it kind of pushes the grommet and expands it. No leaks. You can also look for a place in your area that sells "John...

Hey all, Ok so let's say I have a 5x6 hydro table (dwc, aero, e'n'f, doesn't matter) inside a 10x10 bedroom, so I have plenty of access around the edges to trim, inspect, etc. Now obviously, there is going to be panda film on all four sides to maximize the light landing on the plants. So...

Ever heard of keeping the humidity higher on purpose, to keep stomata open or something? When I get the fully sealed room going, I'm going to try higher temps (with res chiller) and higher humidity. Sulfur burner should keep mold/mildew in check. Funny, same here! Although I have the luxury of...

Thanks Treeth, glad to hear I'm on the right track. The dual hose will be hooked up to the window, it's an apartment bldg, 5th floor, so hopefully not a lot of "snooping". I'm going to try and put it up high, maybe build a platform for it or something... CO2 drops right? True HP-aero info here...

Ok, well it's that season where the ACs are all going on sale, so I think i'm gonna buy one and try this out. In fact, i'm gonna buy one that heats AND cools, so I can have tight environmental control year-round, and have this room sealed up.

Ok, well that's what I needed to know mindphuk. BUT, I checked out the icmag thread, and all I got from it are that somebody says that the dual hose ACs don't pull air out of the room, and somebody else says they do :( I'm sure that they're not supposed to, but can anyone tell me of their...
