Brotofsky has a good question. I think if you get the fan exhausting the air rather than pushing in outside air that could be a start! : ) not sure your current fan placement so if it is already exhausting maybe just crank it up : )I have a 4 inch duct fan.
Huh. I never thought of that.Is the duct fan inside or outside of the tent? They can produce unwanted heat, so if it’s inside, perhaps you can mount it on the outside. Gives you more space in the tent too. Good luck!
Never *Would* have thought of that.Brotofsky has a good question. I think if you get the fan exhausting the air rather than pushing in outside air that could be a start! : ) not sure your current fan placement so if it is already exhausting maybe just crank it up : )
I adjusted my duct fan to a higher exhaust and upped the circulation....so we will see. I appreciate the help you guys. Thank you.Maybe airflow is it then? My environmental parameters were not as in check as yours but I did have massive airflow 24/7.
It's a 150w. (Mars Hydro TS1000) but that's still not enough?You don't have enough light. If I'm follow this correctly your in a 3 x 3 tent? With 100w Mars light? If so that's 11.1 watt per. sq. ft. The old normal standard was 25 watt per. sq. ft. and it is trending rapidly to 30/35 watt per. sq. ft. as led's become better and more useful to the plant. If your plants are autoflower the lights can be on 20 to 24 hours a day. In the summer I run my auto's with lights on 20 hours for heat management. During the winter there on 24 hours. You don't need hurricane force winds in your tent. Pulling enough air through the tent to help with heat management and RH is all that's needed with two or three small 6" fans circing air in the tent. Plants don't use O2 like humans. They produce O2 and consume CO2. The O2 they need they get from water for the most part in dissolved O2 through the roots.
Even at 150watt in a 3' x 3' tent thats 9sqft divided in 150w for 16.66 watt persqft.It's a 150w. (Mars Hydro TS1000) but that's still not enough?
100% on track. You need more watts in a 3x3. I’m personally using a 300 watt bar light in my space.Even at 150watt in a 3' x 3' tent thats 9sqft divided in 150w for 16.66 watt persqft.
Hope this helps a bit. I think it’s only one piece of the puzzle but a start. And as Blastfact and Schwifty are suggesting you need to look into lighting also : )I adjusted my duct fan to a higher exhaust and upped the circulation....so we will see. I appreciate the help you guys. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Very helpful!Even at 150watt in a 3' x 3' tent thats 9sqft divided in 150w for 16.66 watt persqft.
Im running a “homemade led” and thats my limiting factor. Decent nutes and climate but the light is inadequate which shows up in lack of density. @Arythmea if you can look into adding some light it will help probably more than the climate adjustment. I didnt even consider the lighting, thats my bad.100% on track. You need more watts in a 3x3. I’m personally using a 300 watt bar light in my space.

Airy buds are mainly caused by two factors, excessive heat and/or lack of light.I'm growing autoflowers in a 3x3 Tent. My buds have been turning out fairly fluffy instead of dense. I have great trichrome content, super sticky. Just fluffy. What am I doing wrong?
Humidity during flower- 35-40%
Temp- 80-84
Light- Hydrofarms t1000 (16 hour cycle)
Nutrients- Foxfarm Big Bloom (no nutrients during last 2 weeks of flower)
Soil- Foxfarm Coco Loco.
Yea I'm sorry but just looking at your pic ik the issue is your lighting. I paid a lotta money over the years on indoor lighting and even my most expensive lights had to much much closer to plant. With top quality lighting (commercial not industrial) the very best lights range is 18 inches to 24 inches from canapy.........you are at least double that height. This is the eternal struggle the bane of every indoor growers existence when it comes to indoor grows,can I get more outta that light/bottle/closet/basement ECT. That's the main cause of fluff buds. It looks like you doing great so I'm willing to bet the rest of your grow is on point fr. I just glanced at pic lol.in my years of growing and teaching I pretty much see the same problems people have. In your case, it’s your temperature. High temperatures are old during veg/early flower, but if temperatures stay high and you don’t lower temperatures during late flower, then the plant do not get the cue to ripen and really harden those buds.genetics play a role, but this holds true for most strains.
Another thing is, you need more light. 150w isn’t enough for a 3x3….
Those two things alone are your biggest reason for fluffy and low yield
Growing from seeds its a shot in the dark, you will never know if the fluffy buds are just genetics or something you did wrong....What am I doing wrong?
