Nice grow. Looks real bushy. I'd worry about powdery mold in there though. Lots of foliage blocking air movement. Maybe I'm wrong though. Great work though!

Did some trimming. Looks thicker than it is. I thought I would let the colas show themselves then trim some more.

PM is exactly the first thing that came to my mind. It might not hurt to spray her down with some GreenCure or peroxide solution, (just to prevent it). It's a fucking nightmare, trust me....

Cool setup tho- I call that "filing your work"

Ok a little update. I originally had the squirrel cage exhaust blower set to always on and the intake drawing from outdoors set to a thermostat that kicked it on when the temp inside the cabinet went above a certain temp. Once that temp was achieved it kicked it off. This was great except the "always on" exhaust was drawing in cold air at night through the (off) intake fan. This was freezing the plant at night when the lights were off.

So then I tried hooking both of the fans up to the thermostat. Due to the waterfarm, this made the humidity spike WAY up between fan temp cycles, the air became stagnant and created a continual hot layer at the top of the plant crisping some leaves.

So I think I've hit a compromise. The top exhaust fan is hooked up to the light plug so it's always on during light cycles and the bottom still works off the thermostat. No more stagnant, hot and humid air.

Here are a couple update pics. I've thinned it quite a bit. There's quite a bit of airflow from the 485 cfm exhaust blower but wonder if I should trim it some more.

No issues other than it's using a lot of water (1+ gallon a day)
