What’s 4 off 8 on mean? If it smells at below setting 4 then run it at 4 or 5.
It always runs on 4, but it cranks up to 8 once the temp reachs 82F. I see what you're saying but the sides still suck in at setting 4. If you open a vent entirely, its np, but then there could be light leak. Anyway Lots of ppl with the same issue solved it with like a PVC cross-bar etc. I'm going to look into it.

Dude its crazy how much bigger they got in
less than 72hrs. Now i have first hand experience as to why its called weed. I'm going to have to get a fix for the sides of tent sucking in, i know people shared fixes with me in other threads, gonna have to find em.
If you add an active intake you can do positive pressure and the sides will push out instead. I'm not worried about smell though or anything.

I’d open a vent completely. It’ll help bring fresh air into the tent. My plants sit in a tray higher than the vents though so I don’t find it to be an issue.

If the tent is sucking in at 4 then you shouldn’t have any smells outside the tent as you have negative pressure.

I also don’t rely on the exhaust fan to reduce temperatures so there’s that too.

Glad you found an answer for your situation though.

Nope just random free seeds from a local grow shop, had a cartoon dog smiling in front of a weed leaf. Proabably from a local hobbyist or the grow shop guys themselves. I started with six seedlings, threw out the 2 smallest.
I may have to hedge my bets then if they are not feminized.................
that makes the sexing that much more interesting

here is what got me going on pre-flower sexing- about a 30 year old grow guide

I leave my light turned up all the way all the time, unless I'm in the room. I may take it up higher for a few days but I don't turn it down

One thing i noticed tearing it down. I had just finished watering it & only the top 3inches & bottom 2 inches were wet. How am i getting an entire midsection of dry soil?
Promix is your medium? Peatmoss can become hydrophobic if it dries out and if it shrinks away from container sides your water will collect at the bottom like that. Use a poker to make holes throughout your medium to encourage water to go there, water slowly and probably apply less water more frequently.

Ocean Forest, still poke holes?

Yep. Plant 4 is definitely male. In your first post your second picture is likely female but you will know for sure in a week.
