New Grower CO2 and Fans in a grow tent. Need help.

[densemob]

Hey all, I'm really having trouble gtting enough oxygen in my grow tent. Hoping some of you can help me get the right setup going to boost oxygen in a grow tent. thx

Is there a window open or a vent in there?

dunno what to buy. sometimes i just get like stalled out when i make ANY change to what ive got going. i definitely have noticed that one main issue happening is lack of stretch which ive tried to compensate with better soil and excellent teas. i grow all organic.

im using a grow tent thats 32x32x70 has 3 air vent areas at the bottom and the vent for exhaust fan at the top and the back and the same for the cords on the other side. i have one big fan inside the tent. the reason im asking for advice is ive now got the funds to get the needed stuff. i just dont know that much about the co2 levels etc thats esp good for increased yields etc

trying to grow without light water or air is basically like trying to drive your car without first putting gas in it.and by the way oxygen and co2 are two entities that are not one in the same when discussing grows!! id recommend using a passive intake if you feel you arent getting enough oxygen this can be as simple as opening your grow tent flap when lights are on,if smell is a problem proper intake and exhaust using carbon filters ect. are needed!! hope this helps!!!!

How do you know you're lacking oxygen? Maybe your light is just to close. If you don't have enough head room between the plant and light it won't stretch just keep getting bushier.

i keep my lights @around 14-16 inches above my plants. im using a 2015 blackstar chrome 270watt full spectrum and during flower i add 3 105watt cfls. ive seen other growers on here running the same amount of light and getting really decent stretching and taller colas. im still scratching my head trying to find the problem. i do a 20/4 cycle, use excellent organic soil, make excellent teas, i only use bubbled RO water and never overwater, ill get this sorted eventually. dunno im just at a wall at th moment. haha! found the perfect icon

Raise your lights up to 20" or so for a day or two and see if they start reaching for it. Can't really hurt if your looking for stretch

densemob im new to autos so take what i say about them with a grain of salt.ive several grows under my belt with photo period plants and often from seed to seed genetics are a bit different also environment from 1 grow room to another plays a role in plant growth and structure.the thing most often found at fault is stress growers put on themselves when things dont seem the same as another growers log may indicate.if environment is correct feed amounts are adequate and the plant is green and showing no ill effects id just ride it out and try small not subtle changes next grow to try to improve on this grow!! hope some of this cantering helps!!!! keep it green im wishing best carma on your grow!!!!!!!
