Yea I would say cause my air pressure in the tent is greater so my tent stays pregnant looking hope am on track with the response as i am a noob

In most cases, you want to have your fan pulling air out of the tent, rather than blowing air in. The fresh air then gets pulled in through a passive intake. Most fans are much more efficient when set up this way. It also helps keep smell from leaking out of any holes in your tent.

With your setup, all you need to do is simply reverse your intake fan.

Your ladies look great btw. Keep it up! :tiphat:

I have a 4inch charcoal filter for smell and it also serves as my exhaust... my intake is ran to a window ac unit(duct wire tied to the vents) to bring my temps down or they would be in the 90's. Just got a better ac now temps are low 70s these pics are 2 seperate tents i just got a 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 tent for seedling (nightmare cookies) for a while i did put them in the tent with the others but they are growing maybe 1 1/2 inches per day upwards and outwards doing alot of fan leaf tucking to accomadate. Definitely gonna be a crowded one!! Just hope to get atleast 16ounces

Negative pressure is the norm re: reduces smell. The ballooning of the tent will push air out any seams, hence why we usually run negative pressure to pull air in to be cleaned upon exhaust. Vent101 is a must read for new growers.

Fans push or pull at the same pressure. It's a common mistake to think they're geared for pulling. I can't recall the physics behind it but it's an easily researchable topic.

Thanks for dropping some knowledge... Always love feedback :biggrin:

Do you think my girls are progressing along fine flowering wise for pushing 30 day's :tiphat:

Just got my new tent... I have my nightmare cookies going in there until i can accomadate plus i dont know the sex (reg) beans... Currently under 2700k 125w cfl waiting for my 6500k 250w cfl/w reflector which should be here monday :tumbleweed:

You would get a lot more light out of the cfls with beer can reflectors- you can look that up. You would need bigger reflectors for the 40 watt lights. Like clamp reflectors, 10 inch diameter is what I use. And extenders too for the 40's.

I was contemplating reflectors for the main tents but the 125w cfl 2700k will be swapped out and put in the other tent...have a reflector come monday or tuesday with a 250w cfl 6500k... Do you think as is with added reflectors i can pull lb.?

this is looking amazing

good luck

Also I gave each plant a half gallon distilled water with 1Tsp calmag and 3ml of sm-90 ph'd to 6.4 as a preventive every few waterings I add calmag this is the first dose of sm-90... up till a day or 2 ago i stopped foliar feeding with bloom khaos 1/2Tsp 26FL_O. Overnight my biggest grew 2 inches (Insane) Not including the 1 1/2 inches during the day :grouphug:

But definitely getting crowded!!!

Decided to defoliate abit and they seemed to love it and getting good light penetration. Also moved some around depending on height to get even canopy... will post pics later :lurk:

Dnice · Aug 15, 2015

Pics as promised...

My biggest girl which is sweet seeds red poison grew 4 inches today making her 24 inches :biggrin:

Dnice · Aug 15, 2015

My new 250w cfl/w reflector showed up here are the 8 nightmare cookies under there new light...

Dnice · Aug 16, 2015

Have to admit after a good watering they definitely stunk up the place :biggrin:

.... Watered half gallon each 1/2 strength nutes with a full dose of bloom khaos.

Come on people 700 views like 4 comments... rate my thread atleast let me know am holding it down on icmag :bump:

John.Snow · Aug 18, 2015

Don't worry too much about comments man. Nobody cares unless you're running 10k+ of lights! lol. Your plants look very happy. Keep doing what you're doing and try not to over think it (easier said than done, I know).

Why are you running autos indoors? Not trying to be rude at all. I just don't see the point lol. I always hear about low yields/potency with them. I mean, if your growing inside, why not grow photos and just make them flower whenever you want?
