    glad it helped you... :D when buying a fan from grow sites they don't give you info like that. i actually started off researching the physics behind air extraction for my grow room as i knew the suction wouldn't be the same as what the supplier specified after I'd attached my filters, lights...

I’ll have an air inlet fan which forces 160m3/hr of fresh air into the rooms and an extraction fan which will remove 350m3/hr of used air out of the rooms. (the formula i used for this calculation is underneath) It's important to ensure...

    At what age must a plant be before you can clone?

    Have a few questions... At what age must a plant be before you can clone? Does it matter what strain you are growing? or Is it based on the quantity of veggitive growth for the actual plant you wish to clone? thanks...
