Does anyone have any quick fixes for TOO much negative pressure in a tent without an intake to balance the outtake?
I've already gotten a variable speed controller for the outtake fan which helped marginally -opened/light proofed a sockhole but am still losing about 1 square foot of space due to the tent fabric being sucked inwards lol.
*Saw a guy use some pvc piping cut to dimensions which is the best solution i've come across but i lack the tools and thought this is as good a place as any to find an alternative !

Had a new genetic show leaves bigger than my hands at day 30 i couldn't believe it (when my friend said my previous girls look so small i didnt realise just how small they were genetically speaking!)
*edit also got sick of hearing genetics genetics genetics but after throwing in some 30 day veg shivas into 12/12 they're already bigger than the 6 month old unkown genetics. . .

Looks okay-ish. Bit of leaf curl. Leaf curl makes me think it's a little over watered. I'm confused as to how this one is doing so much better than one of the local outdoor seedlings I've seen. Not only is this one much younger. But, it's also far larger than the aforementioned outdoor seedling. This is currently only under a 12w LED. Defs going to give it the ufo at some stage.

I find less is more with water in the early stages particularly after a transplant to allow the tiny little roots to grow, the bright shine/slight curl makes me think the baby is adjusting to the level of nutrients in the soil perhaps? 12W, whats the umoll output thingo?! Forgive me im a total noob here - im using a 50w but was considering upgrading the wattage as for some unbeknownst scientific or brosific reason high wattage lights seem to be very 'hype'? It comes down to the mols/output of the actual light diodes not wattage of the light right? This being so why does everyone use such high powered lights... does it generally enhance the umol/mmol availability?

I have no idea what the UMOLS of this light are... It's just some household grade light with the stupid plastic diffuser taken off. I'm not that well versed myself, when it comes to plant sciences. I just know you can over and under feed/water them. And can essentially burn them with far too much light.
I have two proper gardening lights. A 135w "blurple" UFO. And a 200w Vero 29C kit I made. Both grow plants just fine. But, the blurple UFO sucks to look at and try and diagnose issues. Hence going to the 200W Vero kit.
As for why people go for the higher wattage lights. It's usually because they have larger areas to cover. And quite a few can be dialed down for when their plants are younger. Like my Vero kit can. Other's seem to think if you give a plant a million watts of light. They're suddenly going to be rolling in pounds of grass.

Timber? Have you got all the vents open in the tent?
Open one or two vents opposite

Timber and opening the vents whilst trying to light proof are have been my go to as well but there is a veg light right outside the tent that will leak into the ventholes/sockholes
. Think cutting some timber might be the best op lol!

In veg again, clones look like shit, they stayed in small cups for way too long, but they're better than they were last week.
Had to start 12/12 to show sex, then revert back to 18/6, will cut all the funky leaves off when I get time

Light out isn’t an issue and the amount of light they let in also shouldn’t be an issue. If it is (it shouldnt) throw a cardboard box over them to block the light and still allow air.
