dehumidifier. the humidity got up to 95% when all three were alive. It worked well to keep RH% around 40-55%

why you think the humidity was so high?????

They were growing really fast with high nutes and CO2. I think the plants respiration and transpiration put a ton of water vapor in the air.

why dont i see ventilation in the hut?

Here you go. The exhaust vents through a 4" flange in the roof. There is a charcoal filter on the floor with a vortec fan (around 120CFM) blowing straight up and out.

i just cant understand how that humidity crawled that high with the right venting...


but it looks good!!!!!! i'd hate to have to get a dehumidifier!!!

I was doing great until they got that big. The room wasn't always at 95% but right before the exhause kicked on it could get there. My exhaust is set on a 3 min on and 20 min off repeating cycle.

oh!!!!!

thinking about investing in an environmental controller next grow round???

yeah... its on the short list of gear. Dehumidifier works pretty well too. It keeps the RH% in a good range. Have you had any trouble? Whats your setup like?

i had to shut down. moving issues. security.


but im still building on a cab that i've been working on for a minute. patience is a virtue so im in no rush. but apparently i was, because i went out and bought a tent. air cooled 1000watter in the tent, aero, forced intake.

but my cab is going to be the show stopper. sogg'n i cant share too much info on my evil creation....wooohahahaha

and if you dont mind sharing.... short list of gear???

i'd like to know

Check out my failure... Please help me figure out what went wrong. The buds are getting fat, but some pollen is covering a few lower leaves and there are more pollen sacs developing.

Hmmm Seems to me I said that on Pg 8!

Been watching your thread. Good grow.

A few ?s. Hope I didnt overlook the answers somewhere.

What is your experience level with the aero unit? First time?
I think I read you might be changing the setup next go-around? To what? and why?
from which seedbank did you originally get those Big Bud seeds?
do you deem your ventilation and filters sufficient for eliminating the odor outside of the tent?

Thanks for sharing. nice thread.

Thanks for the compliments.

This is my first grow. I went for a high end setup to get the most out of a small space. I have a SunHut XL tent with a 4" intake fan that draws air into the tent and a 4" vortec fan on a charcoal filter that sits on the floor inside the tent. I also have a dehumidifier in the tent putting off heat and drawing moisture out of the air. I am growing with a 400W HPS lamp. I am using CO2.

My big mama went hermie and I want to change the nutirent concentration next round to see if she stays a girl. Plus we will use Dutch Master Reverse and see if it helps.

The seeds came from Sensi Seeds in Amsterdam.

The carbon filter on the exhaust does a good job of keeping the smell contained. Our grow is not stealth. If you're in the room you will smell it, but you don't smell it when you first walk into the house.

Thanks for checking out the grow.

Here is big mama. She is still putting out a shit load of buds. Let me know what you think.

that is lovely, good job, late

Wow. If you don't mind me asking, how tall is that big plant and how tall was it when you put it into flowering?
