Also, on those clip fans, I always drill a hole in one of the ears of the clip and run a zip tie through it and around the pole to prevent the fan from falling.
Help! Leaves curling

Just added tape to half the duct running into the tent. What do you mean make it into a U. I opens that pocket up to reduce suction

Just opening the pocket is fine for now, but once you get into flower that opening will let light in, and wreak havoc with your plants.
Unfortunatly im bad at explaining, and I dont have a good picture of what im trying to say on my phone. I will get you a picture today of my tent when I get home from work.

Place that hygrometer near the canopy not directly on your lamps. Zip tie it to a frame post so you can slide it up or down the pole.

FFOF ( Fox Farms Ocean Forest ) made Simple - Autoflower
This thread was created to help those who seem to overthink the ease of use of this highly ammended bag soil. I see many growers both new and experienced seem to post “ issues “ when trying to run this medium. I am merely showing a simple no frills method of container / bag grows for autos...

Edit - IME, FFOF runs great on its own thru a 5 week veg (5gal fabric pots).
Then I top-dress with appx 1 gal (1") of FFOF and a little bloom booster on week 1 & week 4.

Here is what I was trying to explain with the passive intake. I guess upside-down U would have been a better description.

Looks super healthy to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ok koo i get It now, but what’s the difference from running it over the top of the tent vs how you did it

Im not sure what you mean by running it over the top? I have my exhaust coming out of the tent up high, and the passive intake down low. That way the fresh air coming into the tent gets drawn across the plants, then up past the light, taking the heat and humidity out of the tent through the exhaust.

In the picture you posted your exhaust is coming from the top of the tent. You need to get air into the tent so your walls dont collapse like they are in the picture.
In post #59 you showed a picture of a slightly open port to help reduce the suction. What Im trying to explain and show is that you need to get some kind of light trap into that open port so you don't screw with the plants light schedule once you put them into flower.
In my previous post is showed my solution for this with a 4" duct placed in that port to block the light.
I hope this helps.
Ohhhh okay i think i get You, your saying put a piece of duct into that open port so i can Get more airflow and i wont have to worry bout a light leak.. it doesn’t have to be hooked to anything.

The curve/hook in the duct is what serves as the light break. Just need about 24" of duct.

Exhaust just like you have it - pulling warm air out of the top of the tent.
@becasueracecar09 is telling you to add more duct tubing for intakes at the bottom of your tent pulling cool air in.
Your air flow should be passively pulling cool, fresh air into the tent down low where...
...the cool air is circulated (by clip fans) through your plants. The air will be warmed and....
...will rise to the top of your tent where your fan will exhaust the warm air out the top of your tent.

A black woman's nylon / stocking or similar (edit - rubberbanded to the opening) will knock the light down a bit and serve as a light dust filter. Just make sure to tell the owner of said stockings before you destroy them. There were consequences in my house!

Thanks for the extra feedback... stocking sounds like a great idea
