No your


No I did think cfm was carbon filter something sorry I should of thought about it , and I dont actually no but if more air is going in than out surely the smell will start seeping through door cracks if no negative pressure ?

Personally, I agree about there being a balance, I prefer having a equal to small (read 10 cfm) positive pressure in my tent so I dont get the smell coming out, but I dont worry about a carbon filter where I'm at right now so it's always about an even pressure differential. But yeah I try to have about an equal amount in and out so I dont deprive the plants of any air they need. The idea of having a positive pressure differential is mostly so they constantly have fresh air and arent deprived of air (as you pointed out). But yeah, for me a slight positive pressure differential to me is good as it pushes out any possible mould spores so they dont suck in more and push out not get sucked in, but most give a slight positive pressure differential because, depending on the outtake fan, the little extra pressure in will also make it a bit easier on your outtake fan and push a bit more on.
The positive differential is so small though that the smell shouldnt be any issue as long as it's a good tent that's sealed well. The biggest time I smell my plants is when I open the tent... and then BAM it hits you. The positive pressure differential some growers use is very slight (again a few cfm like 5-10) so mostly negligible.
It's kinda a game of hot potato with the smell. Which is funny because you can grow shrooms, peyote, salvia and heck you can even grow freaking opium poppies without filters so it's frustrating needing a carbon filter for an herb

Sorry that was more of a rant than an answer. Anyway, let me know how I can help.

@MissUniverse great Info makes sense if just looked online and iv got 190 out and 205 in per hour so not too far out for not checking , and there is lots of gaps in my closet all around

It's never a problem to ask a question. Its mu ch better to ask, plus you're gonna have someone who has the exact opposite opinion on it. But that's my Reasoning why and that's also the reasoning why operating rooms also run at a positive pressure too. Seriously dont slam yourself, ask questions away if you would have seen my first plants youd laugh and if you see the failures I still have youd know I still have problems recently too. We all are here for eachother. This isnt other places where people slam eachother. Someone else is going to come along and need the answers and so did you. If it's all in one place, even if repeated, I learn more, you learn, others learn too and everybody keeps positive too! We all want the same thing, healthy plants and a good harvest. If your smell is contained and things are growing well then I wpuldnt worry about the set up, you look like you're doing everything right. Keep it up!

What is the problem you are seeing? I see her having a bit too much nitrogen from the burnt tips but looks ok beyond that. What has been going on with the growth that has you worried?

 

[MissUniverse]

Oh to further elaborate you need to switch to a bloom nutrient if possible she's ready for more phosphorus and potassium and less nitrogen as she's building bud and not much focus on foliage. Too much nitrogen can cause an auto to stop flowering and go into a weird half vegetative state until it's time cycle is up and it dies without producing more than a malformed little convoluted mess. But you're nowhere near there yet so don't need to worry about that, that's just my personal experience speaking. (see, I've had bad failures).

Anyway, lowering the nitrogen might help a bit and where's your feeding at right now

Hi bud production is ticking ok on sour orange , and tangerine dream is just still stretching and not producing any bud , shes about 2 weeks behind now , do you mean adding the 9/18, I'm feeding 30mill per 10 litre a/b, 10 mill call mag , 10 mill silicon , and 10 mill boost.

Oh shit I never replied. I'm so sorry! Give me a few hours and I will. I thought I did @Huggzfornuggz I am so sorry! How are your plants doing
Your one that didn't flower might have turned out to be a photoperiod. What was the breeder of the seeds.
I'll get more in-depth later. Can you post some pics

Hi they are doing great I think, going to add pk 9/18 on monday . tangerine dream starting to flower slowly . Sour orange pacing ahead , so many bud sites cant believe it . Hope she will flower fat. What do you think, iv moved the light up 5 times in the past 2 weeks . Is it searching for stronger light than 250w? . Here are pics easy to tell the 2 plants apart.
