Yeah that's exactly what i got running, 1 exhaust attached to the carbon filter blowing the warm air out, and 2 intake fans..it's winter here at the moment so i run lights at night and usually only need one intake fan on and exhaust on the lowest setting, keeping the temps perfect

Thanks GMan...just what I was looking for. I like the flexibility of your setup.

Hope the cloning goes well...
Cheers,

They perked up and looking happy gonna pass em around to friends and fam, scrogged em..think I'm gonna tip spots that are close together to stop abit of stretching and fill the centre up abit more

Hi Ben,
I see you're making progress. How much of that screen do you hope to fill?
JD

Hiya John, I've decided to switch to flower today , within the next two weeks it'll be completely full I'd say. I got another scrog net in to support the flowers when i let the growth go vertically, on day 22 and day 44 I'll lightly defoliate for more light to the lower growth. This will be interesting to watch over the next 8-10 week's and i should develope more improvements for the future.

This is how it's going today
I'll chuck a new flick up in afew days

Very cool Ben,
So are you keeping it pretty clean down below the screen? Any leaves there don't serve much purpose due to low light. It's for air circulation I imagine. Good work...
JD

Yeah that's why i took clone's off and cleaned it up abit at the bottom, so i get better circulation and more growth up the tops + i don't want much popcorn stuff down below so I'll clean her up more after the stretch

Just purchased another 600w set up , so 1800w in total now

Progress shot day 3 of Flower.

Hey all ok like myself and some others out there ..it can be a battle when winter arrives, i was almost doing my head in to find the best way to keep night temps perfect. There was so many different options on the internet but i figured this one out for myself.. heater is outside the tent at a distance from the intake fan and it works perfectly !! Set on a timer and thermostat plug inside the tent..happy days

Stopped feeding veg nutes and now on the flores been abit over a week since switching to 12/12.

Starting to flower now, be adding pk13 14 in small doses till flush time.

Man oh man...so tempting to thin the leafs...BUT from what most have said and experienced , I'd say just leaving it alone would be the best option...

Damn BenG,
That is one seriously full screen. As the buds develope...they should grow upward out of the morass of leaves...

Guys do leaf tucking as buds grow...that may help.

Hey...it seems really odd that there aren't more guys watching this. Why don't you put a link in your signature area. I"ll invite a few friends if that's ok.
Cheers,
JD

Your tent is 4x8, right? Too late now since u spent the $ for another 600w....but I would throw in 2 1000w with nice big hoods instead of messing w/ those 600s. It would be perfect Just my .02

Yeah 4x8 bro for the first time round, tho I did read three 600's would give better light distribution over two 1000's in a 4x8.. I will be testing this out tho on my second tent I'll grab two 1000's and possibly a third one if I can keep optimum temp

As far as me, you always want the biggest light to throw plants under. Good thing is you can get the 600's pretty close to the canopy

Hi JD I missed your post I've been leaf Tucking every few days and just did it again after posting the recent photo. I get a little worried about the lower nodes not receiving as much light but time will tell I guess and I might do a good defoliation on the last week to try and fatten them up ??, I dunno how to do the link in my signature but at least I got a great little audience haha I appreciate the replies very much

True Mason, experience will surely tell, I can't wait to be an advance grower with a lot of knowledge under my belt...all in good time. I will def be giving what you said a shot more light more yield as they say...long as you got other factors locked down
