I just got gifted a plant of sonic screwdriver, what's it like?
My last crop consisted of 3 Sonic's. All turned out very nice. One got a lot taller than the rest but with lighter nugs. The other two stayed shorter with dense nugs. All were very resinous and smelled like Flinstones vitamins. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info! No idea what my pheno might be, I run everything I get to be 6' tall x 4' wide on my vertical trellis system. How's her structure?

JTR @ 60 days, sticky mango/lemon cleaner fire. Grown under a vert 600 HPS bare bulb, I should get about a QP. She's 1 of 2 females I found in a 5 pack 3 years ago. Energetic and potent and my favorite smoke and I can't let her go. I've chopped her about here (~8 weeks) in the past, also earlier 1x because I had to tear down the grow prematurely. But this run I'm in no rush and going to keep her under the lights another week or so to see if she bulks up or smokes any different.

I'm also stalling... holding off because I literally have zero drying space, lots of neighbors behind shared walls and an anticipated odor issue soon as I bring her out of my neg pressure flower tent! That's my task for the morning: figure out a drying space that piggybacks on the ventilation/carbon filter in my flower tent without the light or heat or excessive air movement...

is there an area by the tent where its by the air intake thats causing the negative pressure? Then when it pulls the air in it will be the smelly air from the drying plant. You can make it better by putting up panda film around that intake to make sure its pulling in the air you want it to.

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback and that's def part of my plan. However an important portion of my intake air comes (passively) from a 6" duct drawing from a cracked window. Here in Anchorage that air's around 30F, up to 55-60F by the time its drawn across the bulb and into the tent. Keeps temps/RH perfect, so I'm hesitant to change the current "flow" just to manage the dry. So that complicates things but either way the solution will involve exactly what you're suggesting... got my cardboard box/duct tape/panda film ready and I'm almost there... :joint::joint::joint:

What I do to block smell is 24/7 run an inline fan running with a carbon filter venting outdoors. The carbon filter is kept outside the grow. It's nice because it never stays smokey, constant fresh air without opening a window. I do more of a sealed room in the grow area but If I had independent exhaust I would also put carbon filters on them. For me it's convenient because I run this air through my hoods to cool my lights. The carbon filter is placed outside the grow in the living room area. This way no matter what my entire place always has negative pressure even when any inline fans kick on to cool the room during winter. Many people like me are immune to the smell because we are around it all the time. I just borrow a trusted friends nose to scout all around my place for odors. I' m told once inside it smells big time but never outside. If you need to hide your exhaust going out your windows just gut out an old air conditioner have it vent through that. Not everyone removes their AC in the winter I notice all over town anyway. But I also wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a grow or 2 on every city block anyway. One very important thing to pay attention to with having strong negative pressure is your furnace exhaust. If too strong it will suck it in through the flute of the chimney. Always have a reliable carbon monoxide monitor. It can kill you.

That right there is some really good advice. Many years ago when I lived alone and at a different location, there was a huge snow storm that covered the exhaust on the roof that vented from the furnace. Luckily it didn't happen at night when I was sleeping but my eyes were burning up and I didn't know what was wrong. Went outside to get some cold fresh air and took notice the exhaust vent was completely covered! If this happened at night when I was sleeping, I wouldn't be typing this right now.
