You can buy 4inch inline ducts fans that will work for you, they cost 40 dollars at the hydro store

80 cfm will be more than enough

Well last night I fucked up again... see what I do is when Im home Ill add in an extra bulb or two that wy I can monitor the temps while they are in... but last night I forgot to extra 26 watt bulbs in there and the temps got to about 91-95 overnight so not much new growth occured. The main plant grew about 1/2 inch and the smaller one grew about 1/4 inch. Lights off for 12 hours in 10 minutes!

Also both plants are the same height and same age but one is VERY bushy and one is VERY lanky... what could it be? I notice the big one has blown around EVER SO SLIGHTLY more than the small one from the fans since day one, I wonder if this caused it? If that much of a difference in air movement made that big of a difference thats truly amazing!

Okay I have to take some pics today when the lights turn back on in like 5 hours. When I checked them this morning just before lights out they had grown about another 3/4 of an inch... the canopy is now bigger around than the pot is, which is saying alot considering the plants used to be so runty! How long does it normally take to show sex? I keep getting excited thinking I see pistils but its only new nodes growing in.
 
Im not too sure about that 12/12 light schedule, during veg growth you should give em about 18 hours. 12 Hours will simulate fall, so if a seedling experiences 12 hours of light, it will focus more on budding right away rather than growing and gaining height. That would be like planting a plant outdoors right before winter.

I want them to be in a flowering or budding state right now maine. Its impossible to veg a cannabis plant on a 12/12 schedule unless its an autoflower strain

I for the most part ran about 5 6500K 23 watt cfls and 2 2700K 26 watt CFLs all the time for veg and the exact opposite for flowering.

I will post new pics when the lights go on at 10.

Also I seen someone commented about the socks lol... little tip i figured out for ya... put a sock in water like that right infront of a fan blowing on it and its basicly an air conditioner in your grow!
