When I planted the auto my light was not enough that is why it stayed soo little...
And new one is arjan haze 3 something seed which I had as freebies from Greenhouse Seed Co.
It is not auto and will be my first plant under good light conditions...
Before that light I failed plenty of times i hope finally that little plant will grow right...

With the carcinogenic nature of chemicals given off by plastic when it comes in contact with uv rays you may want to think about getting those dinosaurs out of the planter anyways, they are cute, but what if they are lead painted?

I am literally astounded astounded that you think this, apat from the fact they look gay and childish i cannot see anyway how a few plastic dinosaurs would ever cause a problem. Too much wind will screw your plants and dosent seem like a very effective mite and bug control.

If you have mite and bug problems you need to deal with them directly, if you have a collection of plastic dinosaurs in your grow room your obviously not at the point of growing where doing dumb stuff hasnt got boring yet.

Wind can actually help. Wind can make better buds. Some of my best buds have been closest and thrashed by fans.

Positive pressure, when I ran it, seemed to keep pest away. I still use a filter on my intake and careful about introducing pest. It still happens though.

I sell plastic tubing for a living, non food grade plastics give off some terrible stuff.

Well done for having a job but dosent translate into anything meaningfull, my whole grow is made from non food grade plastics. Just how much UV do you think you need for plastics to cause toxic conditions in a vented grow. Personally id be more worried about the growers health if this were the case, maybe i should use a gas mask next time i play with my dinosaurs in a brightly lit grow room....

Plastic or pvc? There is a difference


Rubbermaid tubs are made from polyethelyn which is a "safe" plastic pvc is polyvinyl chloride also a "safe" plastic. Most toys are made from polycarbonate plastics which are much cheaper to produce but are loaded with bisphenol A

There are way worse sources of bisphenol a. than plastic dinosaurs, there are some forms of glue and resin i might avoid but ive seen older grown ups with bigger dinosaur collections in their grow room than this and way more UV lights than the op's flimsy little things and they never reached any kind of harmfull levels.

Im not sure if there is a link between lead paints and bisphenol although ive never had to google that?

Some people will never understand. I was a structural mechanic in the Air Force and also trained in composites. My work crossed over to what you do somewhat.



Even safe plastics are dangerous. I prefer the corn oil based bottles because they will break down. I don't want more corn subsidies so we need to do it with hemp.

Lol you lot are crazy, killing plants with plastics, pointing your fan at already dwarfed plants thinking it will end bug infestations, throwing engineering and plastic salesmen credentials around.
