    Condensation

    Hello again
    I've just opened my grow tent to discover i have bad condensation on the walls and droplets on my plants... My fan comes nxt week so my questions are
    A) Will the fan cure this?
    B) Is it harmful to plants?
    C) What can i do to cure it if it is harmful?

    Thankyou
    Dave ✌

    A good fan properly vented should end all of that. A wet tent encourages mold growth, so yes it's a bad thing. If the smell isn't a problem, you can unzip the tent enough to let the excess moisture pass into the room until you get that fan. I can recommend AC Infinity. The fans are solid and can be bought with as fancy a controller as you wish.

      Too much moisture can induce mold - fan will help just don't have it blowing directly on your plants.

          Your carefully measured fan will fix this 4x4, is valid for a 6 inch Dia fan, include a filter?
          for now I'd be keeping an eye on your Rh gauge ideal is 65%- 75% for veg
          for me the higher the better
          hold the mold at bay with Neem Oil good for bugs and molds
          sold near you as leaf shiner ..? lol

          and I'd stop water or water very lightly

          good luck

            Thankyou for your feedback i really appreciate it
            i am now in week 6 of vegetation and just 'topped' one of the plants... In another 3 weeks according to my research i should cut away the big leaves at the bottom then switch to flowering. Is this right?
            Once again thankyou

              Leave the tent open until your fan arrives.

                  I like to have the lowers pretty cleaned up by the time I flip and through about week 3.

                      Twice, it's happened to me. The first time I had exhaust but no openings for supply, save one. There was about 2" of opening between the zippers in my tent. I opened after a dark period and my tent sides were moist.
                      The second time was last night. Exhaust was fine. The supply fan fell out of the port hole. Same thing with moisture. Those are also the only two times I've had issue with humidity.
                      Could negative pressure be an issue? Watering before dark?
