Next run I'm going to be installing a vertical light in the corner and run a plant that is going to be on an automatic Turner to see if I can turn an entire plant into a big bud rather than trimming all the lower branches. the base is already in the mail.

i have been growing for around 13 years but i have never really looked into scrog. I am also growing in a small space and may consider trying it. It was just going to be a space to veg a plant at a time, But if i could use it for the entire grow and keep my plant small then i may try it. if you could explain how to scrog in a small paragraph then it would save me some time. Is it just a case of topping and topping?

Top as normal once it hits the screen start bending it under the screen topping after that will cause all branches to attempt to become the apical bud so keep tucking until the screen is 2/3 covered. then switch to flower and continue training until 2 weeks in flower then just start tucking fan leaves to expose all tops to direct light. it really works well for maximizing light use. Tip keep 8 inches between the container and screen on leave room to work and make something hat is mobile if possible so that you don't have to try to do all the work from one side. I've actually never seen anyone make a frame that holds the container to make it moveable from the grow space. message me if you have any more questions .

75 cfm, low noise exhaust fan about to get a dedicated gfci outdoor socket when I condense the electrical and put outlets inside with only 1 exposed heavy duty extension plugged in on its own breaker
Lowe's total project $45 for ventilation

Went with the 50 cfm version of what you have (even cheaper) but added a dimmer dial so it doesn't run full power all the time.
If you push the air thru the charcoal too fast it doesn't absorb the smells as I found out with the pencil cup version of a filter.

Have a filter pad inside each of the snap in drains pull off the dome cap and fill completly with 1.5 lbs of carbon. wanted the better fan.

Vent fan has just enough resistance from carbon that it likes to put flower temp up to 82 consistent, set it for 15 minutes every hour until the lights are on the 30 minute cycles, have 1 forced intake to put a little air in at all times using computer fans, next I'm going to work on the seals again or reorganizing the electrical. now the fan off Temps are still holding 72, still pulls a toke off the lighter at the intake.

Found a battery powered plant base that will hold 45 pounds and turn full circle in 40 seconds for $13 on amazon.... 10 inches diameter 1 inch thick if I remember ... see that one on the next cycle.

Does the cover on the fan affect air flow? Pulling in thru the vent slots as opposed to full fan face open to the area.
Just curious, I left the cover off mine (because it was a bad fit when mounting against 2 sides) but if it directs the air out of the unit better I might have to look at cutting mine down to size and installing it.
