Sorry @DrMcSkunkins we we're posting at the same time.

But if the room is 7x8 and has 7' ceilings let's guess. A single 6" fan will only clear the room about once per minute. And that is just larger room.

I would want at least twice those cfm's. And if it's hot out may still need a/c for 2 or 3 lights.

Family matters may also get in my way as my son in law told my daughter he is leaving her. Now she may have to move in here.

This is a little more complicated than that with the 2 rooms and you only have 1 6 inch exhaust to the chimney.

There are many ways to do it but you will need to size intakes. Maybe add multiple exhausts. You can isolate the air cooled hoods on their own loop and exhaust the room desperately.

And even when you build it there will be plenty of trial and error.

But I have to admit it's too late for me tonight to figure this all out. I had a real long day.

I suggest you search for and read a thread on another forum called ventilation 101. It is really helpful.

I will check back tomorrow.

Hello more fan will not necessarily help you. If you are blow so much air in there that it is whipping your plants in stressing them then what you need to do is change your lighting or invest in an air conditioner.

Either you have two accounts, Ive answered this before, Im having dejavu, or this is the twilight zone...
A fan in front of your lights will blow hot air out onto your room unless its only going about half the speed as the fan behind the lights. Remove the fan pushing air through the lights and it should cool right off...

I think you helped someone else with the exact same problem not too long ago. But I may just be having deja vu as well. Or this holy grail kush is just kicking my ass lol

If you don't have a big enough passive intake you will burn out your vortex fan prematurely,you need one square foot opening for 300 CFM.

in about 40 minutes I will go work on the duct work and move at least one fan maybe 2. If that doesn't help its a new fan to try next.
Passive opening is 14"x20"

Best laid plans of mice and men. Well its 8 hours later and its 84 in the room. I did make one change to the air but still have a piece of duct to cut off and move the fan to take a U out of the flex ducting. I forgot today was water day and let that take up most of my day.

The lanky cuts are 11 days into flower and nothing is showing flowers yet they just keep stretching. I think they may be more work than they are worth. They all have a bamboo rod with stem tied to it and if they were in veg I would top them again.

My right shoulder feels like its been ripped on by king kong. I am tired and feel every year of my age plus a bunch. Oh I can tell I didn't spend those years living right lol.

OK on a good and Positive not The plants in the main room look real good.

I hope everyone had a great day and enjoy your weekend.

You kidding. I'm on my third flower room and I have been messing with different fans and exhaust routes all year.

I bought 2 fans and an extra window a/c and went another way. Lost $$$$$$

Get comfortable. This shit we do ain't plug n play.

Then new strains, new toys, new additives, new pests........

All have their own learning curve.

I put up some pics of the bending and tying to keep plants short bushes on his page. I do this the first two weeks in flower.

You can also Super crop the branches. I usually do both.

I guess it could end up back a couple pages the thread is very busy.

Well First of all I want to Thank everyone for helping with this grow. It doesn't matter if you just shot the breeze or liked a post it was cool to have you here. For all of those who took the time to try to teach me anything Thank You. All those that have a grow or gave advice on other threads I stopped in on Thank you.

As of noon today the plants were all either cut down and removed of gifted away and gone. Its a very sad day to say the least.

For those of you who have helped and followed for a while you will remember my house was broken into back in April and we knew it had to be someone who new exactly when we were gone and when we were coming back. When It happen I thought the person must have saw a social media post of where we were. I thought it was my junky pill popping thief of a nephew. But things threw doubt on that. Then I thought it may be a pill popping pill pushing man from about 3/4 of a mile away.

Since the break in I have had 3 bottles of meds stolen from my house and only 1 person was around that was not family that I trust. This person also knew when we were gone in April and when we were returning. The person told my oldest that my wife had let it slip about what was in the basement. He told me and I ask the wife WTH ? She says she never said shit. She questions person and they said no I figured it out when he was building the room. This person is my neighbor who kept our dog while we were out of town. I believe she found out when she broke in.

While now we felt sure the neighbor had the means and opportunity we found out she also had a drug problem in the past and theirs the motive. We also found out she was selling some pills earlier this year in a truck borrowed from a family member. There was also one other link.

Yesterday her companion was told about a lot of this and he was not pleased about it and Seemed not to know of anything except that she use to have a habit. He told my oldest he was going to wait to bring it all up so she would not link the info to him.

I was upset with oldest for saying anything to start with until after harvest but he was pissed about finding out that while he lent them the truck when theirs broke down that she was seen selling pills from it.

My oldest stopped by and told me of his talk after he left there and after he left here I got to thinking.

Now if the neighbor was unknowing of what his woman was doing and confronts her and went as far as saying he would kick her to the curb if any of it were true. Then she might turn me in out of spite. or If she gets out and gets busted messing with pills she might give me up as a way to get out of it. or She opens her mouth about the grow in front of someone who comes to take it maybe by force. In Every case it ends up bad for me with jail time of as much as 15 years. Plus a huge fine.

I stayed up most of the night and never really slept even when I did lay down. I decided I did not like the odds of making it until everything was ready to be harvested, dried and cured. I did not like the thought of being stressed everyday wondering if a knock was going to come to the door. I did like the very real possibility of being caged up.

So when it was time for some trusted friends to be awake I called them and everything was broken down and mostly boxed up and anything that could get my arrested was taken away.

I'm sad and sorry I failed to see this thru until harvest. I feel I failed.

But all is not lost I gained the knowledge of how to grow. I gained the confidence of knowing I can do it. I also got to meet a bunch of cool people. I felt you all deserved to know how this ended after investing your time.

I read in quite a few things (post, books) that the number 1 reason a person gets busted is because they didn't manage to keep it a secret and someone ran their mouth. It was even mention in this thread back towards the beginning by someone. That point became too close to a reality for me to continue. I will still be watching your grows just no longer a grower myself.

Oh and Chris Rock on , Bowl up

Thank you for sharing. I did not know about the break in. You have made the correct decision 100%. We have to be ready to face reality of risk and walk away. Even "legal" as I am liscensed to grow I would put my families security and safety first in a second and clear right out if I was too worried.

Ya I think that was me that told you about keeping it a secret... Not just so you dont get busted, but also for a piece of mind. You need to know at midnight as you arte falling asleep, that you havent allowed yourself no loose ends and knowing that nobody knows, is almost the only way.... Man brother, I am sorry to hear that, but I think you made the right decision. I know of a few others that did too... just not worth it...
So what equipment you have for sale... PM me a list :)
