Top Secret Government Lab: High Brix Quadline: G13 Haze!

Like Penny just said bigger of both and you usually can get a good deal on the combo. I'm running a 10" fan with a 15x24 filter and can idle it when vegging and maybe go half to 3/4 speed when things are populated. Not the cheapest setup but works really well. Until you get something take the filter back out and bang it on the concrete outside to clean it out some so it doesn't restrict it as much. Should bring your temps down both in the tent and the fan from not working so hard.

The outer cover on the filter gets pretty grungy at times.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

The one I have right now is a 6” fan. It has a speed controller on it. I always keep it on the lowest setting because even there it sucks the side of the tent in....with no filter on it. I’ll have to look at my amazon history to see the brand.

 

[Derbybud]

Well just look into a new filter and maybe open another vent or 2 so the fan doesn't need to work so hard.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Is there a good brand of filter that won’t break the bank? I’m familiar with Phresh. But if I could spend less than that I’d like to. Willing to if I must tho.

 

[Pennywise]

I've got all of mine through Amazon.

 

[Derbybud]

That's where I pick mine up at.

Can 33 is a great brand! Can't say it's inexpensive though. If you get it make sure to also buy the flange that attaches with self tapping screws very easily. It's a bear, a very large heavy bear!

Is your fan inside a tent or enclosure? The fan motors generate heat when they run, moving it outside of the enclosure will increase noise and reduce heat.

Based on what you said, I would prob get a 'scrubber' running in the general area of your grow. I run a Can 75 hooked up to a 6" fan, on low, that kills pretty much any smell within 1K feet within minutes (depending on circulation). I also run a cheaper carbon filter on the exhaust of the tent.

Those Can filters are expensive, they work fast, and i've had this one over a year.

I am using a can lite in the tent now...it is thicker than past filters because I need to crank fan to get same suction. It's a lighter filter so you can get it up in the roof of the tent.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

My fan sits outside of the tent. I think it’s rated for 440 cfm. It’s almost like it just can’t pull anything through the filter.

 

[Van Stank]

I have no idea how you do a stealth grow of Stankberry plants! Outside they will get taller than the windbreak .

Probably true from everything I have seen from them. I think the DTF will stay manageable for him though. The ATF......nope....it will be 8 feet tall before he knows it LOL.

Watching these NCAA games tonight! I need my Wildcats to show out!

Was shocked to see them go down to Auburn. Lots of upsets in the Elite 8 round for sure!

440 CFM should have no issue sucking/blowing...have you tried running without the pre filter on?(although a dirty prefilter shouldn't cause that kind of overheating)...just got an email from the Zon yesterday...VivoSun fans and filters, 80 bucks Cdn. apiece for 6"...I think first I would try another filter...cheerz...h00k... ...

 

[Van Stank]

Maybe just spray her a few times and see if she softens up a bit to open.

I would go with this advice for a bit. Spray with water only for a couple days. Sometimes you get a stubborn one but when they finally get going, they explode. So in my mind its worth the wait.

 

[Van Stank]

The outer cover on the filter gets pretty grungy at times.

You can also clean the filters. Sometimes they will get a bit blocked up. You can also flip the flange on many of the fans out there so you can reverse them and extend the life and efficiency on the filters. I would look for both on Youtube and try them....see if it fixes your issue without tapping into your pocket. If it doesn't work....I can give you a good brand recommendation for fans.

Congrats on the POTM win brother! Can't wait to hear how she smokes!

Yes. All of this is without the prefilter.

Thanks a lot Van. This is the one I’ve been wanting for for sure!

 

[Mr. Magoo]

Here are a couple that seem like they would be ok. Any thoughts on these? Or should I get a Phresh?

 

[Amy Gardner]

Hey Magoo! Congratulations on POTM

Quick question....have any of you ever had a seedling do this....

t
The top part of the cotyledon is pretty hard. I’ve been waiting for days for it to open. A couple days ago I pulled them apart just to see if I could. I could separate them by hand but she’s not opening up on her own. Do I give this time or do I pop another seed?

How is this little one going? The bottom of that stem looks bit off to me. Thin and discoloured. It could be a trick of the light. It looks like one I’ve seen before, when I had fungus gnat larvae in the soil eating the root hyphae and it causing the seedling to ‘dampen off’. Thought it worth mentioning cause that stem base looked a bit like this one of yours Nd the seedling just stopped functioning (didn’t fully open etc) - then it fell over!
