I used to think it was heat related and that was most of Rusty's advice. Yes, his advice was helpful. He mainly encouraged me to do something to cool the grow room. Get A/C and/or run the lights at night.

Currently I think its my fan. I use a foot tall upright oscillating fan. It blows directly on the plants. My goal was good airflow but maybe its overkill. What does everybody think? Should I ditch the upright fan and switch to clip fans blowing above the canopy?

I had the 12" wall mounts on each end of my room 3x6. They were way to much air on the plants. When i did a quick remodel recently i replaced them with the 6" clip on air king fans. To get me thru the first round with the big fans i used 3m extra sticky duct tape and taped over half of the fans surface. Some guy on e-bay has those fans for like 22 dollars and they are not in original box but brand new with a 6' grounded cord. Shit i am struggling to keep my temps warm enough with my new hybrid light.Only making it up to around 72 degrees.

I have above and below. Too much fan will give you windburn, but you want that exchange to happen as often as possible so you try and move the fuck out of the air above and below the canopy within reason to encourage the air to constantly stir around inside of the canopy without causing windburn. Gentle leaf flutter is fine. Large swinging leaf movement from direct fan will cause wind burn.

I have a 16” wall mount hurricane and a 12” hurricane desk fan in that 4x4. Big ass fans. No wind burn.

Thanks! If you get a chance, would you mind posting a pic of your fan setup? (if that's possible, I know you've said its a tight space)

I think my plants do show some leaf burn.

yeah I posted a pic in my journal tonight with the upper fan, the lower one is in the back left corner. They are angled so they do not blow on the leaves at all, they just move the air around which stirs the air in the canopy.
 
Damn both hurkles stalled and died. They couldnt bust out theyre shells and rotted to death. I checked a couple days ago and both had popped under coco so I figured they'd pop up like the lemon crash but their shells were too hard.

I should have left them in the napkins till the cracked like I always do but I figured it would be fine to throw them in coco before that. I forgot this problem is why I stopped germinating seeds straight in the medium. A lot of these indoor polys need help cracking out their seeds.

My fault totally. Ill throw some more in a towel tonite and try again.

Glad you're giving it another go. I want to see those hurkles.

I've got both of those still yet to grow, be nice to see what you do with either.

I would love to come visit your country ruby...always been intrigued by your continent.
I've seen some beautiful coast shots from you in the past.

There are some companies that make units that use LPA and fogponics. I have no experience with it so I can’t comment on its efficacy.

I’d imagine that you’d have to clean the mist maker consantly. If you don’t use pretty pure water it gets a thick layer of scale quickly. If you’re just using it to regulate humidity in your root chamber with pure water it might work for that.

My final answer is: I don’t know, it would depend on what benefit you’d get from it.

I made a diy lpa, copied GH's aeroflo, had the 6 pipes drain into another one with a riser to set the nutrient level for the mister and Little computer fan to blow the fog back up through the drains. I backed out of using the fogger because i didn't really feel like it would benefit any, It really is a dry fog, I laid some toilet paper in one of the runners and it wouldn't moisten the paper. I may set it back up one day and see if it makes a difference!
