pedro48 said:Those of you who are having a problem...would you please say:
1) What wattage light you are using in what size hut?
2) What blower(s) you have and what their CFM rating is?
As I said, I bought my mini H in July 07. I have unpainted poles. Not a hint of vinyl smell.
It's difficult for me to imagine any toxic outgassing buildup if you have 3+ air exchanges per minute. How could anything build up? And I simply don't buy that there is enough toxic gas from the vinyl to do that sort of damage to plants.
Who has a link to where HydroHut acknowledges this problem. What does HydroHut say about it?

With all due respect, we have been through this thing 10 times up and down the last few months. There is no longer any question if the toxicity is coming from the hut. It definitely is. I would suggest you go back and read the hydrohut threads. All the answers are there. You're asking people to repeat the same questions they've answered ten times. People are starting to get impatient with the same questions and doubt. I'm sure you mean well, but believe us, the problem is real.
Berry_Coughin' said:pedro....
in regards to your inquiry...
1)...I'm under roughly 200+ watts of cfl lighting in an 8'x4' deluxe...oh been tried 400watts mh, and up to 1200watts hps... same yellowing...
2) canfan 8"ho (roughly 700+ cfm) unfiltered sucking more air out of that tent than you could imagine...also ran it filter'd with a 4"ro/filter....
also tried active intake to no avail....
you mention your tent 'Not a hint of vinyl smell'
mine has reeked like a new car since day 1... I can say the smell has regressed...though, it still smells like new car, new plastic no doubt about it....
Hydro hut has emailed me personally.... I will not post that email as it is direct violation of tou.. but the jist of it said 'the poles weren't the problem upon more testing..' they don't know what the problem is.... they told me to heat the tent up to the max, get in it and wipe it out with alcohol, or to take it back....
I can assure you the problems with the tents are very real...and those of us experiencing them have been going through extreme growing stress, as nothing seems to work but to remove the tent...
pedro48 said:I have read most , if not all of them. I haven't seen a link that tells me anything specific.
I'm not arguing with you now, nor am I going to. I'd like to give this some thought. None of you have a clue who I am, or may be. There are some pretty bright, knowledable people on here...although maybe not me However, my technical background is such that I might be able to help.
If you or the others don't like pointed direct questions, and get annoyed at having to repeat information..well then suffer with your problem.
I have a grow to attend to.
respectfully

HenDokuYaku said:That was hardly respectful.
Pedro, it's not the help people have an issue with. We're all open to helpful suggestions. It's accusations of poor grow techniques that gets people upset after they've been through this a bunch of times.
The truth is, you don't know anything about us or our experience either.
respectfully
pedro48 said:Did I accuse you, or anyone of poor growing techniques?
You say people don't need "help"?
What the hell do you want then?
I'll give you the same advice I gave berry:
Get rid of your hydrohut and get something that is "safe" you'll be happy with.
I'll unsubscribe to this thread and leave you to it.

PS
In my professional opinion (past profession) if you have an affected hut, your best move is to get rid of it. You can scrub that vinyl till your fingers bleed. And even if you succeed in getting rid of the apparent smell, you'll never be sure it won't come back...will you? You'll always be thinking that if something goes wrong in your grow, it might be that vinyl. Why put yourself through that? A 3-4 month grow in the best of circumstances is stressful enough for most people. Why mess around with hydrohut. Get something else and go back to growing.
