I`m just proudta see all my guy`s knockin shit out da park.....Knowledge is power , as my sig states and the other part of it means quit bein stubborn , cuz things are NOT always as they seem , so Adapt or Perish.........
Who`d a thought LESS air would could cool the rooms and bare bulbs better than more.....I learned it from trial and error over many yrs of fukin shit up and THEN findin the way...but.....I did bat ideas back and forth with the best growers online at the time , with Heath bein 1 of em.....
Strongest Mojo I ever learned for dialage came from Heathie , and it was major air exchange/extraction movin twice the cubic ftg of each room twice per minute and FUCK CO2 supplements.......
Sealed room growers will call bullshit , but let em.....Shit cost too much for whatchas get back out of it , and way more power draw with mega a/c to fuel the beast , and I`ve seen it for over 15 yrs first hand with folks swearin by CO2 , but after usin it for couple yrs and no major yield increases or faster "supposed" finishing times , the equipment went in storage or was sold/traded off...........
This lil hobby`s too expensive as it is , ta fuck up as many times as I have over the yrs till dialage occured , and that`s why I tryta help folks keep from spendin "fuck up" money on uneccesary equipment and doo-dads , cuz it causes folks ta quit what they`re doin and go backta dirt growin fer safety when shit goes sideways.....
That`s just 1 instance , and I`m not puttin down dirt growers by any means.....Got a growbro in Cali that pumps out 3 lbs per light runnin his special organic blends and ammendments with Giesel and couple more elite`s that folks swear can`t go past 1-1.5 lbs per light......
All bout them runs under your belts guys....Saw a guy post in hydro the other day bout 3 lbs per light`s is Bullshit since he`s been growin inside for 15 yrs and 1.5 per light`s the best he`s ever done.......
Don`t reckon he`s ever seen any big plant grows like Krusty and Heath`s monsters.....
Got growbro`s that sell clones to the clubs in SoCal and pull 4 lbs per light EVERY run with outrageous plant numbers on 4 x 8 flood tables with parabolic "un-cooled" reflectors.......
Was not about ta open that can of worms in his thread since my arguin days `re over , but he needsta come on down here and see what my boy`s are bout ta get done in the near future.......I can smell it.....
Ya`ll carry on....Makin an old man proud.......
Peace....DHF.....

I am going to jumping on this vertical bandwagon very soon and appreciate all the inspiration and knowledge. I was a tent grower for a while but after feeling cramped and battling PM I gutted a bedroom, cleaned and coated everything with paint and am starting from scratch. I am certain I will be quizzing you beautiful vertical folks soon but feel like I am off to a great start by being a lurker around here.
Cheers!
Cheers!
We gotta get a bigger extraction fan, saw a little PM down their today, dialed up the de-huey a bit but I only got 450 cfm extraction and I think I need a minimun of 750 or more CFM extraction but cannot afford the appropriate scrubber/fan JUST yet. Maybe in a few weeks.
Everything mrktwiz an I learned was from ICmagger's and more specifically these great vert guys and gals(?). I did some quick figuring and I am pretty sure we can hit 1 GPW this grow, I think we need to do some more dialing in to get to 1.5 but we will see. All I know is that is SICKDICOULUS down their and doing SO much better with all the advice we have been given.
Grow on brothers....

Why is it that we can never have a nice, adult conversation about cannabis without a bunch of stoners showing up?

Those type of fans usually die when pointed upwards like that. I've killed those and box fans this way. I don't think the bearings are meant to support the weight in that direction.
I would get something like the honeywell ones that are meant to be rotated upwards.
hey DHF what humidity do you like in mid-late bloom for your vert stuff?

Thanks for the tip gardenbug, I'll have to get down to the store and pick one up!

Craven, is that the $50 honeywell fan in you pic?.
I've been looking for a honeywell and what Im seeing is some table fans in the 15-25$ price range and one in the $50 price range. I want to make sure I get the right one.
BTW, that is a badasss idea to put that duct reducer on the fan, I hope I saved the receipt for that cool tube I just bought.

Hey Zen Master....I live in the Hell of the southeast where RH stays well over 80-90% yr round , so as yas can see there`d be problems without proper environmental control from start to finish of cycle......so....
It was a blessing and a curse since high RH works wonders for veggin plants till end of stretch , but once they back up and start the swellage process strain dependent they need as low as can possibly be provided while they`re drinkin/eatin their ass off and transpiring humidity back out into the room they`re growin in at greatly increased amounts.....
IOW....everything totally depends on how many plants are in each area so yas can drop it hopefully below 45% if possible till end of cycle....
Krusty preached 70% RH till end of cycle.......I dropped mine as far as I could to prevent airborn nastie`s from springin up ........
Never had powdery mildew or budmold in my setups cuz I had whirlwinds of major room air exchange/extraction , and Heathie taught me that shit well over a decade ago....
Holler if I can help....DHF........
