NEW VEG TENT. BKMR and WW photo

Oh, okay. I didn't see the soffit. In some of the pictures there's a long, black tube or duct hanging down. I thought that was the exhaust. So, that must be the heater duct. I have seen some growers exhausting from the bottom, and that's why I asked. Rear...

Rear hose which has disappeared is on the way to ACI as the humidifier took a shit.
I am using the little humidifier that could which is for the drying tent. It only has to move it like 6 % so it's fine.
I did the top and bottom thing but the reverse airflow was used very little and it was a major configuration change with pots out of the tent to move stuff so I stopped it.
When I want to keep air in the tent I use the light mounted fans that push it down.
But In flower at 75 they are off.

I pull the exhaust air from the top. AFAIK, most tent growers do it that way. I'm in the process of venting the exhaust outside. Only one tent still has plants in it. When those are done, I'll be able to finish the reconfiguration of my grow room. I changed that last tent to venting outside and the plants seem to like it. It sure makes life nicer for the human occupants of the house.

Venting both my tents outside is the only way to have split humidity in my situation. I have flowers at 48% at night and I have sprouts at 80% in daytime.
Both are using semi rigid duct that is very efficient but a pain in the ass to work with.
So 2 more holes in drywall.
O noes! Another 45 minutes out of my life to fix when I finally do move.
Ps. I actually installed a ramp in the master bedroom outside deck so the poor first responders who have to remove my bloated corpse do not hate me.
I ain't moving!

Last BKMR is trying to shuck helmet and gets water on hull 4x daily. Can see leafs poking poking out.

The 5th BKMR has shed its head gear and is holding it up for the world to see.
Hear me roar!
Eyeball on a stick will be culled tomorrow ⛑️

This will keep me at my 12 plant limit for Ohio.

Good morning @JIMKSI64 👍🏼
Do you put any plants outside in the summer?
Click to expand...
No and I wish I could.
I am in a still agricultural area with corn and beans in the ground withing 200 yards.
The bean guy is just an idiot. He has a poorly drained area next to the road about 200 years long that even in a good year can still run very wet and most years it flips to a slurry and produces some of the most crappy blotchy virus/mold/herpes simplex 10 for plants or whatever. Pictures show it as generic list of White Mold, Phytophthora Root Rot, Soybean Cyst and others but it kills tomatoes and melons and other veggies and I have not found anything to treat it with.
Few years ago I went with pictures out into bean country and knocked on doors and went to a feed store and asked around.
I got told the same thing by pretty much everyone.
They would call county agricultural and get the slurried fields plowed under to prevent there own crops catching that crap. If the farmer refused they would sue him.

Always one of those in the bunch!
I think your attention to detail and soils would work excellent outdoors 👊🏼

I am going to do tomatoes and peppers and a small plot of sweet potatoes more for a test than anything.
Last year was the total suck. May and 2 weeks of June was overcast and drizzle and I folded up my tomatoes by June 20th. NO ONE had knee high anything within 50 miles of here. Lots of corn got plowed and fast soybeans put out.

Thats some shitty weather man! Hopefully its warm and sunny for ya this summer!! 🤞🏼

Update
Watered all backfilled some.
Love the fast growth. Direct into happy frog no seed starter.
Lowered humidity for .8 vdp

.The fact that I can plop these paper pots right into the 3 gallon pot is great.

So target date for having all tents empty and stuff in drying tent is end of August.
Gives me 14 weeks plus change.
both Widow and BKMR plants have shown puff balls 10 days after flip. For a 9 week flower max I need to flip these in 3 weeks and 4 days. A lot depends on the BKMR as I have never finished one. Breeder says 9 week avrage.

Watered plants. Even the lagger is getting it together..
Now have a couple spanning the pot.

All my gear is on the top of the tent and it exits the room through the wall where the carbon filters are mounted.
Only way possible to run 80/80 in one tent and 75/54 in another tent in same room.

So with the temps in the tents holding pretty well I would like to state for the record that I will be dropping all of the ACI components and moving on from the company.
I have been complaining about the thermoforge since I found out it is 200 watts under advertised specs. It actually puts out more heat at 8 than at 10. While working in the big tent I used it to fine tune by setting lung room temp within a degree of settings allowed the box to work for this task.
Now that I have 2 tents in action I see just how bad this thing is. With lung room at 70-71 to maintain 75 in the 4x4 I need to have that thing lift the 3x3 by 10 degrees.
It will not.
Even with the heater box on top of the tent for the warmest air in the room ( 75) it will not lift the temp.
In fact the temp goes down.
It's a $100 duct fan at this point.
Here is an example. Trying to reach 82 in tent. No heater on. The center line lines up with 80 degrees and the heater is turned on.

As you can clearly see turning on my thermoforge results in a temp drop.

Cloudforge is at ACI being evaluated for replacement.
This box is defective.
100% rate on components for environmental control.
Done.

Watered bla bla bla
Lights at 75% power at max hight. 16k in most 14k in Tina's pot.

Using stoopid ACI thermoforge as a duct fan at 80 degree.
3 plants bridging pot span. Guess I better hunt up pots
