You can get reducers for ducting but if you get a six inch out and a five inch out and are venting outside of the room with the tent in you probably won't need a cooltube.
Six and five inch fans are an absolute minimum. When the weather cools down get a fan controller but you should get one anyway.
Those full grow kits you buy don't really give you what you actually need. They give you just enough to get by.
Everyone has to learn the hard way unless you know someone who has made the mistakes for you.
This site is really helpful but there is a lot of conflicting advice.
It's not difficult growing weed. If you have the right plants it's a piece of piss

Would the exhaust fan I'm using now be suitable for the intake then? Sorry for all the Q's, you've both been a big help tonight.

Also you guys care to share any pics of your current grows or biggest buds you've grown, purely for inspirational purposes and not just because bud porn is awesome. :razz::smile:

Yes and if you do swap it to being the intake then look at the fan below to be your new exhaust fan etc, most of the lads on here use these (simple,cheap and cheerful)etc and you can use it with reducers on your existing carbon filter etc( ideally upgrade to a 6" filter at some point in the future like a Rhino Pro)

My current grow is an embarrassment because of this weather. So I won't put any pics of it up. But because I use decent plants it will ok bud just not my usual standards. Winter growing is better because it's easy to keep a room warm rather than cool down a warm one.

Are you growing on night cycle? Seems like the evening temps are ok in London. Must be a bit less in Scotland.

I've had 28C at night weather WITH high humidity. That was July and it was stifling! I have to cut production for 2 mths. So I should really be concentrating on the outdoor more.

Personally I need to use AC but I also have a huge 1,000m3/hr fan which will do all the work in winter.

I don't like being on night cycle. Most days I'm fucked and worn out by 7pm and can't be bothered. However it's too hot up there daytime.

As for starting seeds now, why not? My clones were shit recently. I even had to be given a load. I'm starting loads of seeds right now. Gonna check them soon. I'm expecting 100% germination rate from THSeeds!

I was taking liberties with my glue plant and took it to 2.9ec and its only burnt the top leaves that transpire a lot anyway. The rest is okay apart from the heat stress. I reckon in cooler weather you could take it to 3.0
This plant has no where near reached its potential. I'm doing another one next round but it's not really practial for my limited headroom. If I like it I'll find a way to sneak one in on every cycle round the edge of my NFT tray.
I notice a different smell every day when I give a gentle squeeze. I get the coffee but not chocolate yet

It seems to have a stronger smell in veg than the dog for example but the flowering smell is not as offensive. I get more coffee bean smell as well. Dogs just foul diesel sour smell in comparison.

use canna boost for the glue. it contains triacontanol which helps with stretch during early bloom or so i've been led to believe

my glues went in at 2ft and now at 4 weeks bloom they are not even 5 ft except for a few, the stretch is comparable to my cheese which isn't so bad.

I only use boost after the stretch and the lollypop and at half strength 1ml a litre
To control the stretch keep the plant shorter in veg, top and lollypop every week, it helps to come through a net that has 4 inch square holes to get an even canopy, just manipulate the tops during the stretch and you are able to open the plant up and maximise your yield cash croppers
