Fair enough, size of the structure will play a role. I understand the goal of 60-65 exchanges per hour is sufficient(may be wrong).

Like I said... For smaller tents air movement is not as important as air exchange... But with larger tents... Without fans, my leaves do not move... And that's a problem

I want new air on the surface of my leaves constantly and that's where the fans come into play 

Shame, give her some of your magic and she will be right as rain in no time

And this bonus one is for all you sickos out there who love growing donkey dongs as much as I do

Alright guys! Apologies for the tardiness, it has been quite the week... 

But none the less, my Tortoni has been harvested, stripped of its fan leaves, and is now drying in my drying cupboard area. 

I managed to get 4 decently sized colas out of her and some larf here and there.. 

Thanks for watching guys! It was another fun challenge thanks to @Totemicand @420SA

Here comes the good stuff 

hocus pocus for your small tent maybe  but an intake or an extractor is not sufficient to move the air correctly - without fans, your extractor will default to the easiest way out of the tent and create static wind currents that may or may not work as well as your in your tent space - the smaller the tent, the less you have to worry about air movement if your extractor is beefy

you want the FAE as well as something to mix the air up in the tent 

consider keeping one of the fans for that purpose - i felt this bigtime in my dads tent when he only had an extractor and no fan to churn the air up... plants suffering from weird heat stress for no reason, some plants were not in the way of the FAE static airflow, and i could tell the difference in growth compared to those that were in the static breeze.

So I looked up some vpd charts. Seems like for a ~65% humidity for early flower I need to run over 30 celcius

So going to add a little fan heater and checking what that does to growth

from your statement about the graph, i am not sure you understand it correctly.

this isnt a mix and match chart, but more of an info chart. it tells you what your VPD is by charting your CURRENT temp vs your CURRENT Rh.

so by saying you need to go above 30 degrees to get a RH of 65 is wrong.

an example is as follows. the early veg tent temp is a cool 25 degrees, and humidity is a bit low today at 40% - that means your VPD is 1.41, not exactly ideal for early veg, but it is what it is.

if you want to change the vpd to a better veg VPD, you will need to raise the RH with a humidifier to between 60 -70% while the temp stays at 25. OR lower the temp down to 15 degrees while RH stays at 40%.

so it is just a chart showing where you are, and indicating your course of action to improve your vpd depending on the phase of growth.

let me know if this makes more sense to you...because it can be a very powerful piece of knowledge to carry around with you

i am still in flower as well... but she is fading up nicely...not long to go now

we got your back capn!! i hope the mods and platform users have been keeping a tight ship in your absence!!

a very good example here is the KK, big hype in america when Wiz Khalifa brought out his own kush cross, it was for himself, a weed that only he likes. this weed is available at dispensaries and it is without a doubt one of the most niche branded weeds out there. not even priced that harsh, yet it doesn't make it into the big time big league market. 

why not?

It wasn't made for the masses, Wiz didn't care about what would sell the best, he made something for himself and it sells accordingly.

KK? it better be Khalifa Kush or ill sue 

Nice bru! im along for the ride

@CreX you mind sharing a link ? just wanna make sure I'm looking at the right stuff 

i was given the stuff a year or so back and am only getting used to how it works now....i dont have a link to the spliff range of ferts, but heres a link to their website.

https://www.haifa-group.com/

LOL nice one... i do the same, but use a floor towel to soak up the excess if needed

Fast solution are cool packs you drop yourself ^^ Would check in a Aquarium store in SA.. that could be couriered in 1-2 days.

 if you get em to ship Express, 5 days usually from China, Europe or the US. 

do this man

ice packs in the res - either straight ice to raise the level of your res, or use ice in packets and then remove them and replace.... okes use 2l bottles, freeze them and use that to help with temps... that should sort you out until your chiller arrives. @DankFiend

Maybe I know about said investments and am awaiting results to see whether said investments are worth it 

i have used said investment and it has my attention  saved me literally a whole week of trim jail, saved my bro 2 weeks of trim jail

@CreX Maybe if I got a extra pot or 2 laying around I'll give it go. 

What nutes are you currently using ?? 

i am using the Hiafa Spliff range of nutes

@EastRandGrower i just wanted to chip in and say that i have recently started running no till coco beds with salt nutes, and my man.... brother.... my fine sir... the results are making me a happy grower hahaha

no till indeed has value in my room

So...much..trimming...

investments have been made and trim jail is now trim vacation - watch this space 

Whats up bro, have an update for us? should be close to your intended flip date no?

nice bru! looks like the typical inhouse stretch on your lady! at least trimming will be a blast

im looking at some of the other guys plants and some also recon another week or so...

That's some solid Thai genetics coming through. Really looking like Chocolope NL... 

Thanks man - yea the foxtail vibe she has on is very Thai. she does have a dark smell to her, possibly some subtle hints of chocolate in there.. not sweet, but not unpleasant   

how long for her do you think? i took a peek last night and she is starting to fade, so it cant be too long now.

Lol I'm not sure... I still think about 2 weeks left  

She really has come to the party with these long fat colas

Alright... The ladies are still going on.... Getting fuller and heavier by the day!

I’ve seen this sort “dangerous” UV being used in marine fish tanks, where the object is to run a completely sterile environment, ie no good bacteria and no bad bacteria. The light lives in a black tube which forms part of the under-tank filtration system. The tanks have a finite amount of water which pass at a high hourly rate through the UV filter.

yea, that is the trick with marine tanks, you cycle the finite amount of water through the filter over and over to purify it and kill off pathogens(or anything organic that finds itself not attached to anything and water borne)

where doing that for air, you will likely never reuse the same liter of air ever again once its been exhausted out the tent.

I shut down the sheds for over 2 months already to try break the PM cycle. I'll do a deep clean, then run the machine for a few hours and then switch off. Existing mold spores should be killed off and then I can spray Copper Soap in Veg (not sure of ratios or frequency) and perhaps AQ-SF in Flower to prevent new PM

Sounds like a plan?

sheesh so long!? but you may have missed an important note about the spores... they can last in soil through the winter, or for years until the right conditions allow it to germinate.

you should spray your entire tent down with a fungicide like sulphur or copper soap, spray the tent walls, lights, fans... cables... everything, and let it dry.

i have even found that i battle less with PM when my walls are coated in a fungicide and not just my plants
