Flower?

[90Gizmo]

GroBuddy, I really appreciate your help. I'm running the in-line fan on high. Supposedly rated at 200cfm. I have one oscillating fan canted at about 30 degrees so it blows both high and low. I think the two keep the air a fairly even temp throughout the tent. I have bottom vents on three sides all open. I thought of adding input fans but I want to keep the tent under negative pressure to minimize oder. For now. Before the exhaust fan, the input fans had the tent taut like a balloon... Then I think oder leaked (a little) through the zipper and unused vents. Will the plants like 83° ? I've been trying to keep them at 75-77° but I'm not sure why. I'm running the lights 20 hours. I've had them off in the night but I think the room is warmest late afternoon early evening so I see your point, that would be the time to turn them off. I'll give that a try.

A dumb question but are you increasing your inline fan speed when increasing light strength. Is inline fan large enough for your set up?
Do you have adequate fans pushing air around, depending on grow space. I use a floor oscillating fan, 2 pole fans and a 8 inch inline fan in the 4x4. I use a 6in inline fan in the 3x3. My house stays on 74° due to how
much it has to run when it's 120°. I also have my grow rooms blacked out keeping sun from coming through the windows that helps alot keeping heat out. When I dry it can get down to 62° a steady 62° in dry tent. Not at 120° lol but like upper 80's when it's 120 gotta dry at 65-68° during the day.

Also depending on light you're running newer leds say running 83° is ideal. Maybe 81° it's on google if you run leds like not blurples but the white leds. I grow with that but dont run 83° just saying if you're running that light with a temp around there its okay. Lastly are you running lights at night mostly. Like 6pm-12pm or for flower 8pm-8am just examples. If running through the peek daylight hours it can be hard to control heat

I'm seeing a minimum 6 degree temp rise and that's running my lights at 80%. (That's what I got calculating DIL.) It was +10 at full power. We don't see 120 here but I'm still going to have to work on it to survive weeks of 80. I'm thinking of doing the next round outside to save on AC.

I don't want to count my chickens too soon but I'm begining to feel hopeful.

If you dont mind the smell you dont need the filter. I dont run filters on any of my tents and vent the air into same room. It gets 120° here during summer months my 4x4 uses the most wattage at 540 but tent stays under 80 in hottest months

I also enjoy walking in my house and smelling bud growing. When its good in flower you can smell it from my front porch

Switched from grow closet to grow tent. It's going to take time to get used to. Tent is a little warmer. That could be a plus or a minus depending on the weather. Folding doors on closet much easier to get into or out of. I'll have to get some shelves for the grow tent. Tent footprint is nice but still need trays or saucer. Cats cannot climb the closet doors but no problem with the grow tent. Now cats aren't allowed in the room without supervision.

Pictures attached with brief notes. My circulation fan is not due for a couple of days. I'm making due with two fans, one inside one outside, next to a vent near the bottom of the tent. The driving force for the change is to divert smell directly outside. That seems to be working but I'm thinking there might be problems when we get strong winds.

wow nice work

It smells like really green weed with a little something that smells good. Looks that way too. Unfortunately I have to open the tent door to smell it. I kind of liked it when it filled the room but it was very powerful. The in-line fan was installed today and it's doing a great job. The exhaust to outside also will help with cooling in the summer.

I'm continuing the thread to act as sort of a grow journal. Today day 31 I've started my interpretation of LST. I removed first and second true leaves as they were mostly sucked dry. I folded the big fan leaves under whatever I could find then I made hooks out of, I call it stainless steel locking wire, and pinned down the bottom half branches. I left the top half alone and will look at that next week.

[90Gizmo]

Thanks y'all. It's strange. After all these years I've never seen a live plant until now.

Yep what that fella said, early flower stage

[OldManGrower]

That is the very early beginnings of a flower.

So is that a flower yet or something else? TIA (29 days)
