Do your plants get windburned/dehydrated in vertical? - Vertical / Colosseum Growing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Green&Gold · 01-09-2010, 04:12 PM

I'm just wondering how people prevent their plants from getting windburned when using stacked vertical bare bulbs, and a fan beneath lamps blowing upwards? What size of a fan is everyone using to do this job? thx

i did have big time wind burn problems, kinda hard to stay away from it in vertical. i mounted my fans on the ceiling, pointing up. disperses the air perfectly around the whole room with no wind burn!

In a word ... No

In fact a well set up vertical grow has less burn

i have one hurricane fan right beneath my light and in between both my plants pointing up. No wind burn problems at all.

I use a cheapo box fan in one of my vert grows, and when it was on the high setting some of my plants got windburned....I moved the fan a lil and turned it down....

Hi!

As im pretty new to growing and real new to vertical i wonder how a windburned plant looks?
Anyone have a good pic to share?

i used to have this huge fan underneath my inline cooltubed setup.

then as my garden grew in and crowded around the lamps i started to get windburn, i put a fan 1/4 the size underneath and added ducting at the bottom as the exit with my scrubber near the cieling as the intake before the lamps. i have maybe 1-2C difference in temps but the plants havent seemed to mind and my pistals are growing white and healthy again insted of drying up and withering.

ill try the fans near the cielin in my next batch of tests. thanks krunch.
