Advice on room setup needed

**jim898** · 29-01-18, 01:07 AM

Hi im currently growing in a converted garage (insulated) but i keep having problems with bud rot, im currently growing in 4 aqua farms and my setup is

2 x 6 inch extraction fans sucking air outside
2 fans sucking air from outside also

my question is do i need to be sucking air from the outside? is that the cause of my bud rot problems?
im growing under 4x 600w lights.

any help is appreciated

thanks

4 plants. one light per plant

the problem is high humidity and low levels of air movement,
do you use a dehumidifier in your grow room?

is there fans moving air?

probably pulling in fresh air with 70%/80% humidity, maybe higher when it's raining
definitely the last thing you want in mid/late flower 'high humidity'

4 x 600w lights for 4 plant thats little over kill imo.

why not jus keep it simple and use two over them if you wana use alot of light. then no need for so many extraction fans.

do you have a dehumidifier running during flower?

Will a dehumdifier with a 30l extraction per day be enough for my room? dimensions of room are 4L x 3W x 2H

Could be spores in the humid weather if all the air is been brought from outside.

Better to pull air from another room, but as your in a garage that's not easy.

I struggle with bud rot, I'm in a cold damp cellar that's north facing, it's a recipe for disaster.

But yeah 4 huge plants, I would deffo use a dehumidifier.

Find a hardy strain maybe.

Medium choice is something to consider as some hold onto more moisture meaning increased humidity.

Pathogens and bugs love cold dark stagnant environments, plenty movement fans in there, lollipop the plants to increase airflow, defoliation will help too.

What's your lights on and off temps?

Current humidity?
