New Grower Fan/filters on after dark ?

Whats shakken" When it's lights out for the girls at night I have also been cutting out the circulation fans & just running the filter to suck up that sweet sweet smell -
Should I keep the wind on them as they sleep or am I over thinking this?

I would. Besides strengthening the stalks the fans also provide circulation which helps to lessen problems like fungus gnats and mold.

While your ladies are seedlings/small plants....a good breeze is good to increase sturdiness.....When larger or flowering, air exchange is still needed...personally, with lights out, my intake air is O.....exhaust fan remains ON...to take care of smell and at 100+cfm, it's moving enough air through the tent to avoid issues, especially in low ambient RH days....if your filtering, the 'make-up' air has to come from somewhere....mine comes into some lower vents in the tent.....moves past my plants at still a good rate...

I leave all my fans on. I use a 20 on 4 off scedule so I just leave the fans hooked up to the thermostat. When the temperature is above 75 F the fans all blow. Circulation and exhaust both. Whe the temperature drops down all my fans go off.

I leave them on 24/7 (fans) I feel you need to keep air movement to give your girls fresh air constantly, so there's no dead space around each leaf, then they can breathe better

My lights are the only thing that ever shuts off. Everything else is 24/7.

I leave the exhaust on only as i use passive intakes in my world. This way there is always a breeze in there and the smell is contained. But my other fans kill with the lights.

I run all my fans, constantly even with lights out. Lights out = A/C off, Lights on = A/C on. I run 12/12 HPS and 12/12 LED at varying times so I can keep my autos under 18/6 by switching lights.

It works for my needs at the moment, I've noticed leaving the fans running my RH % stays around 25-30 with lights on/off good for the prevention of fungus and some pests.. as well, the temps with lights off stay at 66.8. Lights on 75.8. Good ol' cooltube.

I say let the breeze blow!

Do you people all leave your exhaust fans on even when you need the heat like in the Winter time. Wow isn't that expensive?

 

[direhit]

if you need more heat run a hotter light :hot:
