Evening all, quick question, my 3 Royal Dwarf Autos are in week 2 of veg, I'm doing 20/4 with lighting T5 ,so my question is..... When lights are off should I turn off ventilation as well ?
I'm thinking no, but just checking.
My lovely ladies-in-waiting.

If your grow area does not get too cold when lights are off you should not need to turn ventilation off as well.

If you can then let the ventilation be on. Or set it on a timer so it changes air 5min every hour or something during night

It will depend on your humidity and temps when the lights go out the temp will drop and humidity will go up.

To be safe leave it on if you don't have the ability to check temps and humidity

I have just had to start using it, last couple of times the leaves had little droplets of water and humidity was like 82% so been running it the last 2days but keeping it off for the 4 hours light are off, as it allows the temp to drop 3-4°. From 77° to 75°. And they are still quite small.

Water it recently? If you don't have good drainage, cooler temps and higher humidity very moist soil will increase root pressure and cause what's called guttation. You can look it up and see how it all works Lotsa info out there on it and I have to apologize that I'm to lazy to type it all out. Something you wanna try and fix.

They were in small plastic pots as seedlings, all I had at the time, but now potted on to final pots and since then it has not happened.

A consistent supply of fresh air is never a bad idea, but they do not process co2 in the dark so it’s more of a climate issue. My rooms always “breath”, light or dark. At least keep a fan moving the air if it’s not vented. The stoma on the surface of leaves need the air to move so they can operate and live
