Where are you exhausting? How big is the room your tent is in?
If the method you are trying doesn't work can you exhaust straight into the room your tent is in? At last you would have the air exchange of the whole room.

Exhaust is pointing towards an open window, but have been considering cutting a hole in the roof to vent into attic. Tent is in a small single bedroom.

Same here. I find myself tinkering with the window alot, trying to find a sweet spot. The weather here is so unpredictable. The saying goes, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
Anyeay, I often shut the window and exhaust right into the room. At least that way I know that are getting a decent air exchange. It is noticeably different in the room after a few hours. I would assume a tent would heat up rather quickly without exhausting at all.

I'm sure you will figurebit out. I just wanted to give you a heads up on myl experience.

Peace

Of course man. It's much appreciated. I need ab automatic temperature controller on my window! I work weird shifts, so can't always be here to open and close it... Previous highs with windows closed have been around 34-35c, lows with open about 16c. Far too much variance for my liking. Been looking into thermostats and humidistats, I did wanna keep this grow cheap and simple as possible! Fuck it, now i just wanna guarantee a viable end product.

Riiiiiight.

I started low stress training tonight...

Braced the main stem down low, and bent the top of the plant over to maybe 45 degrees right now. I'll get her to 90 in the next day or so. I decided to use cable ties as they're what I had to hand, and I can easily tighten by pulling through a few extra clicks. I'll probably get some wrapped garden wire tomorrow, so when she grows a lil more, I can remove the ties and use that.

Also tucked a few fan leaves back, to get that light spread a little more evenly. In doing so, I found these...

Fucking tragedy.

Been for a quick pre-work check of progress in the tent. Apparently, my low stress training wasn't low stress enough, fucking main stem snapped at the point I braced it.

I've cable tied the plant upright, in the hope that she might heal to some degree, but I'm not holding out much hope. Best case scenario, I get a hermaphrodite midget.

MK is now my main girl. I'll maybe start a new thread in that case, as I fucked the Ultimate and Shiznit out of inexperience. I'm gonna order a lot more seeds, learn from this.

Gutted.

Shit does indeed happen. It's unfortunate I had to go to work, and leave them for 9 hours, lights on for four of them. I'm gonna go home now to some crispy fucking twig.

Had I been off, and had the time, I'd have attempted to slice above and below the snap at a 45 degree angle with a clean razor blade, and then try and tape the fresh wound together, hoping stem cells do their thing!

Well. Ride home to a tent of failure. Peace.

A few photos. Thinking of calling it quits on The Ultimate, seed has cracked but showing no signs of life (Ultimate on left under clear dome). Maybe dig it out an plant the MK Ultra Kush. Disappointed, as will undoubtedly mean a smaller yield, but life goes on! Any thoughts or advice?

I know what you mean. First solo grow, you get so obsessive. Link to your journal, I'd like to see how you're doing!

Its unfortunate as you said, but many times salvageable. If you are quick to adapt and fix her. I wouldn't stress the herm, I did and ended up cutting off baby nodes that I thought were balls just starting to form. Was it the auto that bent?

Sick, sorry to hear about the break.
I wouldn't worry too much. She will surprise you. They are tougher little bitches than we give them credit for.

If this happens in the future just tape it up. She will heal.

Can we see a pic now she's doing?

Peace
