New Grower Finally after 5 year of waiting, decided it's time for a new Grow.

Thanks, some good advice.

reading back, I see you have a 100x100x200 tent with lights, fans and carbon filter. In a upstairs (bed) room.

Exhausting filtered air into the room should be almost stink free from the filter and exhaust fan, carbon filters are pretty efficient.

the main issue for me ( and probably for you) is when you open the tent for watering/feeding and general maintenance, my whole apartment stinks to holy hell during flower time in about 2 minutes flat. in your case, the whole room stinks to high hell I guess.

So, MINIMISE THE OPENIING OF THE TENT,

I do all the work I need to do during the early hours, 4-5am or so, with the apartment windows open back and front for air flow and use all sorts of covering aroma's, dettol, incense sticks, bleach, fabreeze etc etc anything I have handy, cant say if any of the smells really cover the flower aroma's but no one is awake at 5am, the streets are empty, so I feel as safe as I can get.

in your case, i might suggest a similar practice, as the carbon filter will be cleaning the tent air while its closed up and the air from the tent will be pretty much cannabis aroma free when it leave the filter. As the exhaust fan is drawing in air from the room into the tent up and out through the filter back into the room, it should be slowly cleaning the room air too while the tent door is closed.

But the room will fill up instantly with aroma when you open the tent...

The only way to vent the room when the tent is open is another exhaust fan and filter through the wall, ceiling, door,window, or airing from one side of the house/apartment to the other with the windows and doors open.

I think that most of the day/night you shouldn't have an issue with aroma's, and its only after opening the tent door that you will have a problem to deal with.

So do the work when everyone else is asleep. and leave the tent closed the rest of the day.

yes, i know that part of the growing experience is watching them grow, looking after every leaf and shoot, checking in on them every hour, giving them lots of TLC, but they are weeds and will grow well without being fiddled with.

just 10 minutes in the early hours, water and feed, vent the air and relax, is probably a habit that might help.....

Same here. All work at 4-5 in the morning...mon-friday. For 15 min. (Before work) On Sat and Sunday I try not to open the area if not really needed.

Or you can get an overview sized tent that you can get into and close the door.

Fair call, double tenting...double filtering, double down, double up, double safe.

Hello fellow growers, what is the best place for an oscillating fan?
I only have one going at the moment.
Where is the best place and where is it best pointed at?

Thanks.

I hang a 12" fan in the corner of my tent . I use a adjustable light hanger so i can rase it and lower. . I have it pointing on my lights to help with temperature. I get more plant's in if its suspended.

Thanks Sawney, do you mainly keep it pointed at the lights or do you have it blowing at the canopy on the buds?

If humidity is high in late flower I will make sure the canopy gets good air flow . Normally I keep it at light level.
