Wood in the tent?

[JDU]

Omg!!!! Toker1 You have Bubble Gum? Pure??? I love that shit!!! (Well... for an Indica anyways lmao)

[JDU]

Well if there's one good thing you can say about my grow room is that it's more than sufficiently ventilated lol.
& yes- kiln dried pine like in a clothespin attracts way more moisture than a hard wood or some old seasoned piece.

There is a reason food manufacturing plants do not allow wood near food contact surfaces. Just keep that in mind when updating your grow room. Wood is all good until it’s not anymore. There are more superior materials to use in place available in 2020. Red wood would be the only wood type I would allow near my garden. To each is their own.

No just some crappy soft wood. Got lots of other wood in there too. It is a closet after all.

[dropinbiking]

Which is caused from not keeping a well ventilated grow area.

[Toker1]

Is it made from red wood trees? Major difference in resistance from a clothes pin.

[Toker1]

Look up white powdery mildew

[Toker1]

Haha a drop per day can cause rot.

I have 2x4 & 4x4 blocks in my tent for risers and those plastic black one also. I don't like the yo yo system for some reason? I just an " senior weight lifter " I keep picking them up moving them around.

Howdy JDU, I use wood (pine boards) for shelving (air circulation fans, air pumps, etc.) for years without any problems. My light support is a 2X4 attached to the walls (used to be a closet) with shelving brackets and wood screws. I do not think that the wood could be a problem, unless it is always wet.

[dropinbiking]

A grow room is literally the exact opposite conditions for mold to grow. You are actively setting up an environment to grow plants, with fresh air cycling, and a relatively stable climate. Mold and rot happens when left alone, in damp wet stale conditions, under dark corners and behind cold things. Takes a certain kind of special to develop a mold problem in a grow tent, unless bringing in obviously visually healthy mold, spreading it around, spilling water on the floor, killing the fans, and leave it for a few days or weeks.

I have wood in my growroom, it does not get wet (unless I spill something), never seen any issue.

[JDU]

Yeah.... & my tents ARE like a desert although humidity will be going up when I finish the swamp cooler that Tersky was kind enough to share a link to awhile back. But certainly not enough to warp wood... hmmm....

Idk.... safe is ways better'n sorry unless alcohol or engines are concerned so I think I'll go plastic or metal.

[JDU]

I do- & they were my 1st choice but the ones I have are too small. I want to have the strips about 3inches from the Mars so that they both overlap & extend the Mars footprint.
