Way Too Many Have Their Ideas

[Oldguyrealy]

From the start I have had problems with RH and Temperature in my Tent.

Got both 4 inch and 6 inch exhaust Fans. Been using 4 because I was told 6 was too big.

Went to 5 gallon Fiber Pots because I was told this was the best now I'm reading Fiber Pots will bring up RH that my plastic buckets with drain holes will be just fine.

Now was reading Topping and Super Cropping will increase my yeild but too much my yeild will go down.

Probably going to get 100 ideas not going to hurt now put them along with the other 100.

Trial and error. It all comes from experience, mistakes are lessons if you learn something from them.

Take in all the information you can, then decide what works for you..
A lot of experienced growers around here..

who said too much supercropping wold reduce yield? i haven't heard that one yet.

Learn how to triangulate information. I.e compare and contrast until a core emerges and build from there on experience.

I have Topped twice and Super Cropped once but can't help but think do it again.

I was told hurting my yeild.

I have only seen an increase in yield with super cropping. We are starting to top less now too and rely more on super cropping. When you super crop you are opening up lower buds to more direct sunlight.

Mainly Topping for Clones.

I'm more concerned on Exhaust fans now because I need to exchange because I bought stuff to vent outside with 4 inch.

I don't think there's an issue with going too big, for a 6 inch in there it'll just run slower and quieter. I use a 4 inch in a 3x3 and a 6 inch in a 5x5.

wasnt the rh/temp problem due to you not letting the tent vent properly?
had the air inlets closed or something like that. tent was drawing in, collapsing.
common sense says the fiber pots would raise rh. over plastic pots.

 

[Oldguyrealy]

The deal with exhaust fan is I have 6 inch was told by another Grower all I need is a 4 inch on 4X4 Tent. Then I was just reading that a 6 inch will over work your A/C or Heater.

To me it makes sense if it is getting warm the bigger fan is called for.

I was told by another Grower to just open my flap. Great more problem bugs.

Seems when I showed a picture of mine in Plastic Buckets bunch was all over me for not using Fiber Pots.

open yer flap...lol
filter the inlet air.
an old stocking can work nicely. maybe slip it over a piece of duct pipe.
ask the wife for one.
were they growing good in the buckets?

Got Screen over the inlet I have open.

I now have a bunch of Buckets with drain holes so they are no good other than planting. Yes brand New Buckets.

I was also told I didn't need dark for Photos. I had 4 White Widows that never bloomed.

I use a panty hoe to cover my inlet.

When you keep saying "I was told" who exactly is telling you to do this stuff? "Photos don't need dark period to flower? " whoever told you this has lost all credibility.

You don't have to listen to everyone's suggestions. A lot of folks will take what works for them in their situation/environment and act like it's the "correct" thing to do, but in reality there are plenty of ways to grow a plant successfully...

Re: fabric vs plastic pots, for example, you can grow just fine in either one. If you have a tendency to over-water, then you may want to use fabric pots. But just scroll through some journals on this site and you will see plenty of examples of people growing amazing plants in plastic pots too...

How about switching exhaust fan?

All depends on the individuals climate , the formula starts from ambient temperature.
But it's best to have something that works in summer that you can turn down in winter.

As long as you have negative pressure in the tent (sides sucking in) you're good..
