Lighting DP Auto Ultimate under GN HS1 (60 x 60 diffuser)

No photo update today, but just pondering the idea of getting a bigger tent. I currently have a Secret Jardin DS60, but thinking of getting the next one up, being the DS90. The rate this plant is growing I can see her outgrowing the confines of my current tent pretty soon, not just in terms of height, but also width. With the fan running and the tent zipped up, it sucks the sides of the tent in. I reckon I'm losing a good 8 inches of width overall in the middle. The exhaust duct is the same diameter as the passive inlet duct so I would expect it to be kind of neutral, but it's like the fan is creating a slight vacuum. Anyone else find this an issue?

Also, if I do upgrade, my current tent, plus my previous 250w HPS light will be up for grabs. Is there like a classifieds section on AFN for grow equipment?

Get a fan speed controller. Will help you dial in the environment and control an overly powerful tent vacuum. Laters
 
Any fan can be 'dimmed' with a controller. Just plug the fan into the controller and put the temp gauge in the tent and set the desired temp . The dial on the controller works like a light switch dimmer by reducing or increasing voltage and therefore fan speed.

I didn't know that. I may look into it as a separate enhancement. Cheers bro! :D

That aside, even without the vacuum effect, I still think my 60x60 cm tent will struggle to contain the plant when she's in full stretch. I want her to be free and natural, like TaNg's girls. LOL
 
Day 25

Nothing notable to mention since the last update. So far so good. She seems healthy with no visual signs of any issues. She's starting to drink like a fish now. I was watering every other day but now she's drinking 500ml daily. All good signs! :D

Compared to the equivalent strain grown by master TaNg at day 25, she's certainly shorter and bushier, which is no bad thing given my space constraints. She's just under a foot tall. I reckon she'll really start taking off over the coming days. Has quite a potent smell too!

Looking great! Are you getting used to lifting the pot to work out how thirsty she is?
Certainly looks bang on bro.[emoji3]
