Hey all, been browsing the forums for the past few months. Got my first grow underway with me and a good friend.
We have a semi sealed room, about 14x20 doing somewhat large SOG, 140 of em with 5x1000. 2 medium filters with 2 8inch fans for exhaust and 2 ac vents from the house ac in the room.
We just added co2, no monitor or anything were not quite sure if we wanna go that far or trust our crop to something that could spill the entire bottle. We have the equation down and have been dumping by hand. Our room hangs out at around 72-78 degrees and 25-35% RH. When we dump the co2 and shut the fans off for the hour or so before we vent it spikes to 85 degrees and 60-70% RH. I've been hearing different opinions from different people about it.
Are we doing more harm than good by constantly changing the temp and RH of the room? I've been told its good to have higher temps when the co2 is active and I've also been told having them go from one temp to another often is bad.
As of now I feel we can leave it this way and go buy a dehumidifier to keep the RH down and let the temp stay up when we do the co2 but as I said its our first grow. We know quite a bit from family and friends that have done their own but not many have done co2 yet.
edit- they were just flipped over to 12/12 a few days ago and are anywhere from 1 1/2 ft to 4 ft tall right now. 3 diff strands, bubba kush, purple diesel, and green krack. Also using all Canna nutes.
Any comments are appreciated, thanks.
