Thanks. It's an 8" 740 CFM running at about 40 - 45%

Most manufacturers don't recommend running their fans that low. It can cause overheating.

Luckily, Hyperfans are designed to run as low as 30%. They have built in speed controllers. Mine is running nice and cool while allowing more odor contact time with the carbon in the filter.

My first attempt at a scrog. Learned a lot and will make adjustments next round. I didn't take into account how, as the plant grew, it would push the lower net upward, into a dome shape. This limited the distance for my upper, bud support net. Next time I will keep the bottom net even lower and spread the tops out even more. All this being said, I'm not ashamed of my canopy and the nugs are incredibly dense at Day 38. Vanilla Ice Cream kids.

Well... not a waste. Others, self included, will appreciate your efforts. Thanks.

^^Glad it has helped. Please share anything you're utilizing from my list, I'd like to see variants of this system and how they're working.
I've been absent for a while and, unfortunately, haven't been shooting too many vids, but it's a well oiled machine in there at this point. On the last flower run, I had two phenos and, now, I've narrowed it down to one...my "orange" pheno (just because I had orange labels in the mother's netpot). I almost tossed this mother because I was sure 2 or 3 of my other phenos would out produce her. Not the case at all. Her offspring are strong and produce big, dense, rock hard flowers. I also had an infestation of fucking fungus gnats that was just ridiculous...had to take all of my houseplants outside and hang sticky traps by all the lights in my house. On my last run, the gnats got into the roots (even though in RDWC) and killed one "purple" pheno and heavily affected the two purple phenos on either side of her. The orange phenos had no gnats. Therefore, purple was out, and orange was the final, grand prize winner. I now have the seed mother and four F1s growing (in two separate bins in case something happens).
A couple pics attached: A couple hours of trimming from last batch, Red Hairs and keif collected from drying racks, some nice purple hues in there, An early clone I pitched outside and neglected...gave me a nice little quad of grape Ice Cream, A quarter+ nug after about 2 weeks of dry/cure, Some Ice Cream "melting" in the Sun, Eye candy (not my photo...I just really like it)

Just and idea here , but I run my chiller in a separate bucket with a closed loop system connected to stainless steel coil at the bottom of my buckets , controller , and res. it makes a bunch more holes in your buckets but eliminates a heat causing pump inside the system and also allows the chiller to not have to run as much because the coil inside the buckets really keeps the water cool

Cool. I've looked into chillers with coils before. Got any pics so I can get a better idea of your rig?
Luckily, once I flip to 12/12 and the canopy completely shades the totes and plumbing, my chiller rarely turns on. The ten drops into the mid 60s during dark cycle so the water really cools off. By the time the water reaches the low 70s, it's back to dark again. It's the 18/6 cycle with smaller, vegging plants when it actually runs on and off during the last 6 - 8 hours of daylight.
