Hey Prosperian Stay cool man! We just had a heat wave kick off here in the northwest. I had to pull out and setup my window unit in master bedroom. Times like this all the fans and ac units vanish off store shelves. I might have to install my portable unit in the grow room in the fans don't keep my girls cool.

When you get to flower running your exhaust when the light is out is a good idea to keep humidity down to keep mold at bay with dense flowers growing. Plus accumulated heat at night in the canopy can make your buds airy. Just some stuff to consider bro, you can always get a fan speed controller and run it at lower speeds when the light is not on, that's what I do. Along with an osc fan and a little 9in high velocity fan like you used to have below your pots, keeps my girls plenty happy at night. A small digital thermo/hygro from home depot or such for $10 that keeps track of your humidity and temp hi/lo can tell you what's going on at night and save you alot of headaches...Your B.O.G.'s leafs are starting to fill in a little and look more like mine, but still look a little more sativa dom than mine. I love the SATIVA'S. Take it easy bro, Peace out.

Good advice thanks myco. I'm running all the equipment you suggested above. The thing is, I will not remember to turn the exhaust speed controller back up after turning it down at night. That's why I was thinking about running a on/off cycle every hour or two to flush the room for thirty minutes. Then when the lights come on with a separate timer, the room exhaust timer is synced to go on too.

At least this way I'm not touching the variable speed controller. The auto switches have up to 48 independent sets so I can tweak them to keep my humidity in check and still shut the fan off at least 50% of the time during lights off (the sealed light exhaust fan will remain off whenever the light is off).

I think I'm going to try it with my analog switches first. If it works, I won't have to buy anything else and I will sleep better knowing all my cool a/c isn't being sucked into the attic and I'm in control of my O2 exchange / humidity at lights out! Win Win!

Maybe I'm making it too complicated, but it's worth a try to save on electricity. The most important thing is that both switches stay in sync during lights on.

My thought when I posted was that he would keep his oscillating fan running.

Absolutely, going to keep a small fan running on a separate circuit. They have environmental controllers that will fix this problem with humidity and temp sensors to switch the fan. But, I'm not going to shell out the $200 when I might be able to accomplish the same thing by cycling the fan at night for free.

This is what happens when you're an OCD grower. It's not just clean, organized grow rooms brother, it manifest itself into this kind of complicated crap! I need to go medicate. :joint:

IDK man, I went to that link to check out his veggies, and saw "bmeat" mentioned a couple times.

That's pretty incriminating.
 
You can also toss a jar of Ona in the room for smell, I use it even though I run the fans all the time to cover up when I open the door to work one the plants (ie star at them for extended periods of time fawning over buds when in flower).
 
Sounds pretty solid man. I get you on exhausting what is basically cash out into your attic. I would be figuring out a way to make it all work before popping on expensive environmental controls. It's pretty cool what you can achieve with some timers and planning. I was just talking about flowering for the most part before, I don't think people realize how much humidity can accumulate with some plants in a confined area with the lights off. They're warm as all get out and put off alot of moisture when the lights are out and you can end up with mold issues fast and boy are they a bitch to work out and keep away once you have spores everywhere. I'm sure you'll figure it out man, you're a pretty savvy individual. Peace out.

Yeah your right. Humidity goes ape shit without air circulation. I have it all hooked uo as described above. Working great! Had to rewire and install new surge protector, I'm happy with the results. Just have to run a few more test through Sunday,

Yes, good point Have to pick some up. Better to be safe and I'm sure I will have some stinky plants in a couple weeks!
 
Yeah that will work too. When the room exhaust is off I can smell the plants in my office.

But we all want to know breal this Saturday evening... Are you the one, the only, the bmeat?

C'mon, reveal your true identity. I promise I won't ban you. Sunni will, but I won't.
 
Hey GS3k thanks for popping in. How the upgrade going? I was blown away by the space you now have in your grow area and the trees you already have to fill it. It's like you've been growin for 15 years! I'm impressed with your confidence in taking on a big project. Good job man!

You brought it on all by yourself, bro.:clap:
Keep up the new and improved attitude, though, and we won't go out of our way to tell him you're back.;-)
And just a note........
You were more than a "tad" annoying.
 
Well, alright then. Moving on, I gave my kids my dual monitors tonight for their computers. So I'm stuck on my iPhone (with VPN) trying to type. This sux. Tomorrow out to buy a new screen.

I got a 14" flatscreen I'll send ya if you want to pay the shipping.
IDK if it would be any cheaper, considering the way prices on that shit drops almost daily, but the offer is there.
 
Thx Bak, Im going to need another big screen so I can see. Probably another 23" or bigger. I did have two of them!

Thanks Prosperian. The upgrade is about complete, Still have to paint the floor white, I created a problem but will have to manage it now, I let the girls go too long and may run out of head room but I will work it out. I just flipped the girls 3 days ago and fired up the turbo Klone. I think I may need to add more lights, thinking about using the room just for bloom and add a smaller room to it for veg. But I got to get these girls to flowering. Hey check the results of one of my experiments. I think I might have created two main colas on a couple of the girls late in the game. What do you think?

That'll work dude!
Looks good and productive!
Remember my last one?;-)

Thanks Baka666! I was trying to slow down the upward growth and on a couple of the girls that was the results. Hope they give good buds.
Peace:peace:

Take notes on how your experiment turns out, so next time you can do more if you liked it.
I tried something diff. with these two that I have going, and took notes on it while they were vegging and training.
I wrapped the Diesel in a rotational clockwise direction around the pot, and the Kush going counter clockwise.:lol:
It's working good with the Diesel because it seems to have thicker stems like my Sativa dom. bagseed did, but the Kush is kinda floppy and doesn't seem to like LST'ing as much.
