I’m using a Vivosun 4” right now but I need to upgrade to a 6” for heat reduction… makes me think rather than replacing I may just add. That’ll move some serious air with a dual system running both fans.

I’ve got two 6inch fans for my large flower room. They move air! : ) having an 8inch would be nice only to be able to run it at lower setting and achieve the air flow without the noise.

With an 8” you’ll be removing your entire environment 🤣

dude no shit, straight up.

I stuck an 8" squirrel cage on a 5x5 tent back in KC, and just had the passive intakes open. Man that shit sucked in like a foot in the middle, the poles were bending, i was worried the tent was going to collapse. It took two 6" fans on full to even out the pressure of the 8 inch on 3/4.

I never actually used that thing. My roomate had pet birds. Couple budgies and a Conure (the pirate parrots), dude, i saw the future, and hell no was i gonna be cleaning bits of Rigel or Calisto out of those things. I actually still have it somewhere. I thinks its 960 cfm 🤣

Liberty Haze is loving the closet life. I’m very thankful I didn’t flip any later. The light panel she’s running on is a 150 watt GeryLove panel I picked up off of Amazon for $30-ish dollars. It was one of the two from the space lab that got a fresh lease while the other is mothballed. For being an off-brand Chinese light, it has been worth every dollar.

I’ve never had a seedling that’s looked like this PB4 x Haymeadow. To say I’m excited is a serious understatement.

Just wait til you see her structure and leaf geometry lol. Its probably going to be "wow" levels of gorgeous before you even get to flower structure. PB4 under natural sunlight is one of the most beautiful plants ive ever run. And the male haymeadow looked like some straight afghan kush and branched out like a female. Perfect symmetry and structure too. Not one misplaced finger anywhere on either parent. PB4 is definitely the most potent peaceblaster to date as well. Pb4 reminds me most of the old jacks, pb2 is a skunk factory.

just add another 15-20% perlite and boom. High porosity promix lol. When ive run peat dominant mixes ill use as high as 40% perlite sometimes because i find plants enjoy the every other day watering cycles most if you can keep up with scheduling on it and time waterings/feedings right before lights off. Im using a coco/screened soil/compost/perlite mix most of the time, and still add perlite levels to try and nail that every other day watering schedule. They thoroughly enjoy having constant access to pretty equal parts air and moisture in the root zone. Growth rates on an every other day cycle can sometimes be twice what they are on a 3 or 4 day cycle, and you can actually feed less for the same results too. Nothing wrong with a longer cycle though, especially if it works with your life scenario better. If ya switch over to some gaia green on some of them though, a little bit less drainage is preferred IIRC. You dont wanna flush all the goodies to the bottom of the water table.

I don’t know what’s going on with Barney’s Farm but in the last two years, I’ve had genetic mutations with EVERY one of their seeds. LSD Auto, Kish, Peyote Critical, Ayahuasca Purple, and now Liberty Haze. They were good for so many years.

Gaia Green it is this summer for the outdoor gang. Arrives Monday. I ordered the All Purpose 4-4-4 and the Power Bloom. It says organic but we will make sure to find a way to screw that up before it’s all said and done. Like Men’s Warehouse, I guarantee it.

You could give it salt based somethin until the Gaia breaks down!🤨😳🤣
