Well I'm sort of making a room in a room, if you get what i mean. I have a room thats prolly around 8x14 feet give or take but its only like 5 feet tall give or take haha. I haven't taken exact measurements yet of it yet. My scenario is that this big room is where my mother and flower will be. So I will have to nail a frame together and tack/staple up some of that plastic i got, I forget the name but its white on one side and black on the other..I need to figure out if I need enough CFM for the whole 8x14 room or just enough for my mother and the 3x3 flowering room I'll make. Thanks for all the help guys, reall appreciated.

Yeah I can understand that. My tents are inside of my closet, so it's kind of like 2 rooms in a room lol. I think you're thinking of panda/poly film, or smart film I think it's called? I don't recall the name clearly, but it's supposed to be like a suped up panda film. A little overkill on the CFM never hurts, you want it to be enough for both rooms and then some. If you plan to have a CF you'll want that extra CFM to create a little negative pressure.

I got a garden at the moment I was wondering if anyone else takes off the majority of their sunleaves to get better circulation during flowering, sunleaves are good because the name says it all they catch sun/light and promote photosynthesis,ect..but they also adsorb water and nutrients that you feed your plant. Nutrients and water that I think could be used elsewhere besides your sunleaves. I think of them sorta as sponges, kind of like compound build ups in your soil..anyway Im getting off subject ..I'm thinking that plants usually got enough leaves during flowering to do what they need to. I think sunleaves kinda steal water and nutrients that could instead being going straight to your buds, not to mention better light penentration on your buds, promoting better bud structure and growth/density. So I was just wondering if what I'm doing is true or false, or both? Maybe i'm answering my own questions here I tend to do that a lot. I dont chop all the sunleaves off..like I said their not completely bad, but with too much during flowering I think your plant isn't reaching its potential..any input?
looking good, considering its only around a month old..(I think?) I like that your applying some topping methods very interesting

.... No, NEVER take off the MAJORITY of the fan leaves, the leaves are more like factories, they process light and nutes which gets distributed around the plant as food. A plant with more fan leaves will no doubt yield more than one that's been heavily pruned.
and buds don't use the nutrients, they don't even photosynthesize thats what the leaves are for AND the fan leaves have the largest surface area so produce the most food for the plant.
If you must prune, prune from the bottom section and remove side shoots as well, don't over do it though.
There's a section in the Jorge Cervantes how to grow DVD on you tube that demonstrates how to prune from the bottom and the benefits.
Otherwise it is bad practice to heavily prune, the only instances where heavy pruning is applicable imo is when you're using ScrOG and huge fan leaves block light from other growth tips, or if your growing in a small area. And even then I try not to if possible.

Well she was vegged for about 5 weeks so shes about 40 days old good eye thoI got a garden at the moment I was wondering if anyone else takes off the majority of their sunleaves to get better circulation during flowering, sunleaves are good because the name says it all they catch sun/light and promote photosynthesis,ect..but they also adsorb water and nutrients that you feed your plant.

Your gonna find a lot of mixed reviews on this subject, a general rule of thumb i go by is if it is a huge fan leaf that is completely covering a bud than it needs to go, pretty much anything at the very bottom of the plant that you know isnt gonna yeild anything, use those for clones they work great. The Sun leaves are vital and you shouldn't cut any off unless completely necessary ( i believe this because its directly from the mouth of Jorge Cervantes). now when the leaves start to naturally yellow and die then they aren't doing anything for your plant and aren't accepting nutes so those can be chopped without worry. Some ppl will tell you to hack em off but before you make any decisions watch this. Now if your doing a small grow then you need to make your own choices but be carefull.

If you guys wanna watch a really awsome show and wanna learn a shit load go on youtube and watch the weed nerd episodes by subcool420. hes got hundreds of vids that will really help you step your game up everything from germination to breeding and anything in between

Ha!! I'll do one better, I'll bring my nommy nom oils lol.
Make sure to do a light leak check lol. Had a friend who grew in a shed and had light leaks from gaps in the shed. He had to pack it in with insulation lol. Shit looked like he was performing some divine act of god from his shed, because of the light lol.2 small plants going into flower tomorrow! The White Widow and Cotton Candy.
Just finished building a megalithic shed to store my garden tools and my grow
Stay Frosty!
Plant = Fuel cell, Fan/Sun leaves = Solar panels. You can take a couple here and there but don't go nuts, usually about an 8th to a 1/4 is the max you want to trim up. The bottom can and should be cleaned up some though, that will be the best to clean up for air circulation. You want to do most of your heavy trimming in Veg, and minimal in Bloom. You risk stressing her out more in bloom, and stress in bloom can equal hermie and that's not good. It's one of those "In moderation and you'll be fine" things.I got a garden at the moment I was wondering if anyone else takes off the majority of their sunleaves to get better circulation during flowering, sunleaves are good because the name says it all they catch sun/light and promote photosynthesis,ect..but they also adsorb water and nutrients that you feed your plant.
