Do yall turn your fans off for the dark cycle???

[GET MO]

Just wonderrin if I should to save power or if they still need the steady flow of air during while its dark...

 

[Maj.PotHead]

proper air curculation 24 hrs a day helps to prevent PM my fans in the grow erea and scribber run 24/7 never shut down unless its to clean them good.

 

[GET MO]

Right on, thanks pothead.

I keep mine on 24/7. Plants love good fresh air.

I leave mine on all the time - although I could turn off my light cooling fan I suppose!

Mine run 24/7 with my blowers

in the summer when humidity is more of a concern I run my fans 24/7...in the winter they shut off with the lights.

I used to turn my fans off at night but it lead to a big increase in night time humidity. I run them 24 hours a day now, and at night my humidity is no different than in the daytime.

I keep my blowers going 24/7 otherwise my temps get too high (texas heat sucks). Probably would be less of a problem if my dark cycle was at night, but I have it swapped.

i turn mine off,although i'ed keep them on if i could....doesn't seem to hurt them tho,i make sure i keep them on till all the left over heat clears out of the box and some fresh air gets in...

That's the way I look at it. The wind blows 24/7.

I just keep a lil 4" fan going at the tops. But then I am only growin in 1sq mt.
I would hate to thin I molded a bud trying to save a nickel.

 

[Prof Sublime]

I leave em on 24/7.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Able Mind]

keep em on,the wind still blows after sunset.

natural co2 boost

natural co2 boost

i was told:
plants produce CO2 during sleep(dark) cycle so it's best to stall the exhaust vent for first 15 - 20 minutes when the sun rises every DAY. works wonders!!!
but if you're incorporating a window unit AC drawin air from the fresh outdoors then i wouldn't bother

 

[CDM]

24/7 its important to keep the c02 replenished. Plants produce O2

Plants do not need co2 at night, the wind may stop blowing at night but plants in the wildlife are not cooped up in a room. Plants need to transpire at night,air circulation helps this process. Suerte JK
