I live in a very small town in the middle of nowhere. Fungicide isn't much possibility for me...:( you're looking at adequate ventilation, bro...5 inch pc fan inducting air into cool tube and duct, at the other end is a 6" in-line 250CFM duct fan.

thank god for marijuana...if I didn't have anything to smoke I would be curled up in a corner I'm sure sobbing over this...all I can do is sit wish wait and hope...the perspective for me is...I've gotten to the middle of the bridge, and half of the bridge is now missing for me...I really hope that in the next 7 weeks I can control humidity enough to make the conditions unfavorable for fungal growth..that's about my only option at the moment, and thanks to someone watching out for me, we've got a couple mini gun safe/closet dehumidifiers ordered that will be here in a couple days. 80-85 degrees with about 43% humidity right now...I think the light hours with circulation + light and heat is all that's saving me from full blown infestation.

i can't tell: are you exchanging the air inside your space? or are you just running air from outside, straight through the tube, and back out again?

as for air inside my space, fan circulates it and sucks a lot of it through duct I'm sure, closet door's cracked open as well..duct goes up into attic.

Just talked to a friend about 50 miles away, I'm gonna give him gas money and he's willing to pick up something for me, and bring it my way. big thanks for that..may save me. next thing is I just hope that walmart carries it..that's his biggest option, I told him to look for a nursery or other places that may have plant related items. hopefully it works out, I'll let everyone know how that works out..

Walmart will have something for sure I would think. I looked on the net Mark but could not find a fungicide that I could get to you quickly.

Fuck....somewhere around here I have a book I think.....home remedies for plants.....let me look around. Christ you live in the land of nod dude....even I can get a fungicide where I live....

Ok I found two things that may help you if you're friend cannot get ahold of anything.....obviously go with a bought spray made for this if you can but I need to know if you have one of two things in your house..

baking soda
or chammomile tea

we've got baking soda..check your e-mail..

man, i think u need to stuff the pc fan and find something slightly more substantial.. if u cant afford a proper inline fan buy a small fan heater that can run cool or remover the element then attach it to the end of your vent. Air should always be pulled and never pushed as its ineffective and inefficient.

Few fans i found...

I'll try to respond to as much of the stuff in this thread as possible.
FIRST. Jorge Cervantes needs to fire his editor, and fast. His Indoor Grow Bible is so full of typos, misprints, etc that it gives me anxiety just trying to read the stupid thing and I HATE it. Is is an okay guide for nOObs, yeah, it's fine but take it with a grain of salt... Argue with Jorge... lol sure any day!
I keep my flower room humidity below 40%... I shoot for the 30s.
The concept of relative humidity is one that you can use to your advantage... with increased temps, the air can hold more moisture. If you find yourself in a situation in which your humidity is high and your night temps are significantly lower than your day temps, you can end up with actual DEWFALL after lights out!
There are options for dealing with this.
FIRST your ventilation has to be very good... you need an active exhaust to carry warm moist air away from your grow area. That by itself is likely to solve your problems... plus the problem that isn't quite so obvious, which is that with insufficient ventilation your yield is going to suffer, mold aside.
Next, consider adding a space heater on a timer to go on about a half hour after the lights go off when the room starts to lose heat. This will eliminate any dewfall problems you are having.
Oh yeah.. computer fans... no computer fans!! they are just not sufficient for most growing applications. Get down to walmart and pick up a few of those little metal high velocity fans for $5 each... they move some serious air for their size.
Dehumidifier not in the budget... well in the words of someone around here... go cheap, grow cheap. This isn;t a cheap hobby. Skimping on equipment will not save you anything. REALLY.

I agree with you all the way stinky! And your so right a bout the grow bible! iv noticed little things in the book but just thought it was me reading it oddly.

^ Best answer your going to get!

Tom that wasn't because you were stoned was it? :)
