Nice looking forest DB .you planing another strip down soon

Just always ran them that way. The older hurricane fans for sure blew air better without the cage. These ones do to. Also just less bulky. I'm never near them so not really worried about safety.

thanks man, not this Tuesday but next I'll do another good strip.

Couple beers in the growroom hanging with the plants. Soaking it up.

have you noticed any issues with the plants getting chopped up if they venture too near the fans?

i'm just thinking with the little 6" fans I have, if the girls venture too close they get slapped around, even with the cages. sounds similar to putting a playing card in the spokes on your bike as a kid. thinking without the cages, there'd be some decapitated girls.

Haha it has happened once or twice to a fan leaf. Never chopped up a bud yet. I raise the fans up as the plants grow near them, I have predrilled holes in the wall every 6" for the fan hanger to attach.

you know, you're a real fart smeller. my dumb ass would've permanently attached the fans to the wall and panicked with a full room like "wtf do i do now"

When flying low, I can always tell State owned roads from locally owned by the color of the streetlights. State uses HPS.
The color diff in your room. I wonder if there will be a measurable difference.

I do love a good fart man.

Haha, weed plants are dynamic, all aspects of the grow room should be too.

i thought i was the only one lol

well, that plant has a serious K issue going on. Look at the color of that stem. Petiole = the stem on the leaf.

holy shit batman. you're in for it now.

i had to google it to see what you were speaking off.

excellent point. still learning that. it's like polymorphism in programming. inputs can change, code should adapt according to expected output.

Same thing here. The cages restrict airflow.

purple stems and petioles, mostly stems (especially super red/purple like that one) is a classic sign of K def before it really starts fucking up the leaves. It is typically caused by an imbalance in Ca, or pH. Sometimes, it's just outright deficiency. In rare cases, it's genetics (like super purple strains later in flower). Some will say light intensity will cause it but ime light only causes striping, and purple topsides on petioles. straight up purple like that is a huge red flag.

Not if you grow it right...

It's why I got frustrated in the tent. Everything was pretty limited. And I had this room just sitting there. When I could be doing this... so happy I pulled that chute when I did.

What are the nightime temps?

do y'all think this concept of cages restricting airflow would play all the way through all fan sizes? specifically plastic fans. Wondering if y'all are onto something I just haven't ever really considered. would make sense with the volume of air bladed fans move, any restriction is sure to have a drastic impact on throughput. just wondering if that same concept applies with little 6" fans too.
