yea get that jordanian. 61 cfm is the highest ive seen also for a pc type fan.

dont have ducting or as much.not sure if it will blow strong enough.u should jst get one reg desk fan or whatever,blowing on the canopy(top of plants) and then those pc fans,do exhaust somewher,U CAN do passive intake with ductin which im goin to do.

ur using CFL soo heat really isnt a issue,just air circulation.the key is to replace the heat with fresh air. IF your plannin on spending some money,get a 250w or something.EVEN CFL are nice,my friend veg and flowerd with CFL and should get a ounce or two off 2 plants.
OHHH u said ur leaves turned darker green over night?! yea mine did the same and now im havin real problems SOOO watch that,could b over fert... ARE YOU GIVING THEM NUTES?

u could flush i guess...its not too bad but it will get worste.mine are horrible right now.gettin better with that flush i gave them.cut off dead leaves,alot of the times,the leaf cant restore its natural color so you can cut em.not alot of the fan leaves though

no problem.im learning everyday and passing it on to help :)

Do not cut off your leaves! lol, if you've got really dark leaves, it is more than likely that you fed them N, and maybe just a little to much of it. Alot of nitrogen will cause the leaves to turn a dark DARK green.

Did you just feed recently? At the size your plants are at, I definitely wouldn't go over 1/4 strength feeding yet.

you defenitly need some air circulation in there, at least just use an old computer fan rigged up to a transformer or a 9v (if the fan is 9v) although you probably could run a 12v computer fan off a 9v as far as i know anyway. if im wrong someone let me know please?
