I'm EXHAUSTed

[Heads4]

Well i got the exhaust/vent system up and running.....

Used a blower I had...getting through BRICK wall not an easy thing....

All piped with 4 " to the outside of the building with a dryer vent at the end

Conditions went from 95 degrees 90% humidity
to..........................85 degrees 65% humidity

Thanks for all the imput....

Anything else I can do to improve quality????
thanks again

Those temps/humidities are with lights on
Dark temps around 70....
One pedistal fan in opposite corner blowing towards exhaust fan...
exhaust fans runs when light on
pedistal runs 24/7

Alright!!! I love the inititive. You will have no problem growing, if you are willing to do what it takes to stay within the parameters of the plant...You, just might be worthy of a "Labcoat" one day, Heads4...Grow ON!

Looks good but being an old bricklayer, if you'd have moved over from the center of the block (to the right) it would've been way easier. In the center of a block like that there's a concrete web. You had to go right through the center of it. But good job not breaking the whole block out of there! I've punched holes like that many times. Takes about 2 minutes with a hammer.

Only problem I see is that if you're venting the air out of that room with mj plants growing in there, hopefully you don't have neighbors right next door to you. Course maybe they wouldn't recognize the smell of flowering cannabis. Or maybe it's legal where you live?

These bricks have the two supports about 1/3 of the way in on each side so the middle is open
Hoping the smell isn't a problem out of the outside of the vent....
Now im just hoping these babies take off

And i definanty was wailing away with a hammer drill, hammer, and chisel...

Not fun but it's all done now

I've read about 25% humidities during flowering as being ideal...

Is this actually realistic if you're not in the desert?

And will 55-65% humidity give me problems??

Thanks again for all the help guys

[HighTillIDie]

i heard 30-40% humidity when flowering... and it is definately possible... you just get to learn more about humidity

HEAD4....

I am still shaking my head, admiring what a determined fucking grower you are.

All this time I thought you took our advice and said, fuck them,.....and just wither away into oblivion like so many others do.

LATEWOOD......you got an extra LABCOAT? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

Heads, its all about the degree you wanna push. In perfectionist terms, you will now need to get a dehumidifier to bring down the humity to the ideal range of about 25% for flowering.

You need to make 3 more holes in your wall.






JUST KIDDING

Again, the 25% should be the goal or the objective and the closer you are to it, the better your plant will grow towards its genetic expression.

I just cant really tell you how proud I am to see you actually do this.

I am just tickled pink and it makes my day

The high temps and the fan exhaust will remove most of the moisture for you I suspect.

My only concern......what kind of fan is that and how many CFM does it move?

Also, is dryer vent hose what the exhausted air is being run thru?

Many fans have low static pressure, meaning, the more resistance or the farther the air must travel the weaker the blower / exhaust fan is.

Can you tell me more about your fan and pipe system running outside?

Again, you showed what so many growers or would be growers dont show, and that is the will and determination to get it right

Soon, soon, you will be worthy of a lab coat

HARDDON
Thanks for the props on my determination to make it right

Here is a pic of venting coming out of other side of wall....

It is 4 inch expandable ehaust vent. ( At any hardware store/menards/homedepot)

I have a 25 foot run that goes to a dryer vent to the outside of the building.

I put my hand under the outside vent and there is definantly a steady warm airflow coming out.

I put my nose to it and there is no mistaking the aroma

There would be water droplets on ceiling and water on floor b4 installed...

Now room is DRY
