I wanted to ask , you said open the door in the morning. does that mean the room doesn;t have any vents, I thought a room needs vents, 4 I thought two in two out? right?
Welcome to the forum poopoo! :thumbsup:

Vents are helpful to get rid of excess heat from your lights. I am using Florescent and CFL in my grow, so heat isn't an issue.

Most people use a fan so they can get strong stock and don't have to worry about their plant falling over under its own weight. I have read for some people, and I do this too, that they do not use a fan because they do not want the plant using energy making a lot of cellulose. They want that energy to go into bud production instead.

The door to my grow opens when the lights come on and stays open till they go back off. Also I open the window near by for a couple hours in the morning to refresh the air. After that they get air conditioned air. I believe they are getting enough CO2 doing it like that.

While I am here I may as well get out some more news. I added 2 more CFL's today and arranged them so that they shine on the lower parts of my plants. They are getting so thick with leafs that it was blocking out a large amount of light from the lower areas. I was getting a couple leafs dropping a day down there, and I am guessing it was that lack of light causing it. The extra 3200 lumens should help out.

Tomorrow I will post new pictures. They will be 2 weeks into 12/12 then.
