Yeah I had to throw away some buds, but still got weed from that plant. Have another to harvest this week.


Here is the fan I installed to suck the hot sir out of the room (I hope) I opened up the extra silver stuff around the duct and attached it with a strong tape, it's tight, should have adequate suction I think.

Hey sweetie, yes it is a 4 inch fan. It is mounted in the back, close to the ceiling. It is close enough to my light that when I get a good reflector on there, I could attach it to the hood.

What do ya think? I hope it works.





Some of the smaller buds are dry now, needs a test run.

Wow pieceofmyheart, those are some nice buds! :yummy: I've always had an interest in apollo11, what's the high like? Isn't that a clone only strain which is some type of c99 pheno? I could be way off :confused:

Thanks Smike, I think it is the vibration form the ducting I hear, not air sound. More like a small airplane landing under my stairs, hahahahaha.
I'll have to work on that.
I have reduced the size of my grow area, my room is shy of 9 square feet, but I reduced the size of the actual grow area to 6 square feet. Gives me room around the grow for air movement. I hope that made sense.

Oporator, the apollo 11 I have was started from seed and then has been cuttings from a mother plant. I have grown it 3 times, this has been my best harvest so far. I have another to chop today.
I love the high, very up high. Smiley high. Tends to be a bit racey, heart wise and it is not at all couchlocky.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I have it venting completely out of the room, into the basement. Working on the noise thing right now, just pondering on it.......

Here we go, nice and quiet now. The ducting stuff was rattling, the wire in it. So I used an old pair of sweat pants, cut the legs off, and put them on the entire lenghth of the tube. Then I took another piece and taped it all around the backside of the fan no noise at all now.


Here is the fan sucking the hot air out, into a different room. At somepoint when I get a real reflector, I can hook that up to it, I think.



This one at the bottom has a fan blowing air from outside the room in.





The grow area of the room has been reduced to about 6 square feet, and the extra room around it is just extra room. I also have a fan in the corner of the room blowing in.

Well, if I keep the door to the room open and have a fan blowing in, the temps stay just below 80. But still, if I close them up, even for an hour the temps rise up to the upper 80's.

The duct that I have blowing air in, just has a small fan sitting at the other side of the duct outside of the room. If I get another 4 inch fan and put it in there blowing air in, and make it all tight like the one sucking air out, will that make any difference? Is it worth my time to do that?

This is confounding the hell out of me.
But.....here are some of the fruits of my labor.

Hi POMH,

I think both fans exhausting would be more effective than one pushing and one pulling. The intake area is critical. Each 4" fan needs 2 times the area of the exhaust size so you need a 4" x 8" intake for each exhaust fan.

I would increase your grow room as large as possible. It would help distribute the heat around. It's like using a hair dryer in the bathroom compared to the bedroom.

And use lot's of duct tape, that always works for me!

Thanks guys for all the help, I know i'll get it right soon.

I understand what you guys are saying, that makes a lot of sense Shmike. My brain just doesn't really work that way unless I get a nudge from someone. hahahaha
