Thanks :-) roots organics and happy frog, bada boom. I think I have only used nutes once, then got scared by some burned leaves. (which ended up from lights to close) Not sure when to start flower/bloom nutes or anything. still cant believe she got THIS far! I know I shouldn't compare my grow to others...but I do. I saw this one which is around her age, then I start thinking she is not doing as good as she should.

I have a whole bunch of grow lights I don't need anymore. Since Colorado is pretty saturated, I was wondering if it made sense to advertise them in the Massachusetts Craigslist? What do y'all think?

She looks Happy! When she starts to flower she'll stop pushing leaves up and pop some pistils out instead. When she does that, wait about a week to switch to flower nutes.

Can't hurt to try. I haven't seen much in the south coast section. I can drive to about 13 hydro stores in less than 30 minutes though.

The issue is shipping.

When I worked in the trademark industry, in the US someone patented 4 in1 chainmail. (that's been around for 2000 or so years) Also, an Australian patent went through for the wheel. Not shitting you. The patent system is about who has better lawyers, because it's a joke. It only makes sense that strains would follow it.

So people know everyone else is also having dumb crap happen: Yesterday I found mold growing on the floors of my grow space. The plastic sheeting that I didn't completely unfold has been housing 3 gallons of water that has been condensing and dripping down. This was awful. I had to move everything around (except for the one tray being used for flower because I can't move it and the bdsm cage alone), scrub with bleach, dry it, paint it with kilz. My grow is in the basement, and it gets cold down there, so I'm unsure how to stop condensation in the future without putting up some kind of insulation.

Are you running a dehumidifier? My basement gets really humid and I have to run one pretty much year round.

Its 10 days past full moon, but our crew seems To be having issues with growing problems- hope things go easier for all. Hideous - try some big box fans to help dry condensation(cheap purchase, cheap on elec.) outside of grow space Can't wait for summer, then all us basement folks will have to readjust as inside environment changes- LOL its a Weed and a labor of love. And please leave weed alone(definition wise) been calling it that since 70 and refuse to change my ways. Mileage may vary- Have A Great Day!

I don't have one because the humidity outside the tent is like, 20%. Opening the door drops the humidity to nothing. I was trying to keep the humidity to match the temp with VPD.

Ahh, you mean INSIDE your tent/closet/space. I thought you meant outside for some reason. About the only thing you can do is keep the tent warm at night and keep air moving.

I'm kind of ignoring vpd right now. I just want to get to the finish line on this grow. I'll worry about the last few percent when I get there. ;)

I have talked to people who have grown in 20% humidity. They say you have to water more. Harvest was great as long as you had the other factors dialed in. You might have to cut back on your nutes a little if you're watering more. It's better than the mold issues you get with higher humidity. The more circulation the better. If you can get a heater and circulate dry air that would make them happy.

Although my cat and wife love the higher humidity from my sip tray, I'm struggling to keep it under 50%.

Plants will transpire( sweat) during dark period- my tent @ 70-77 deg. will vary from 35%- 70% RH- Get plants off ground and put plastic to fit on floor- my outside tent RH is around 30%, but inside not a critical issue( as Crisis mentioned, plants will just drink more, transpire, and produce they're own humidity.) Only issue is late flower when you need to keep RH in tent @ 50% or lower to avoid mold

w/Dehumidifying Capacity of 12 Ounces a Day at 86°F, 80% RH

Do you use one of these? Wouldn't think it would remove enough except in the smallest grow spaces.

Mine claims it has almost 100 times the removal rate and struggles to get below 45-50%. Maybe I have a much larger space.

If your tent is sweating( water droplets on mylar) also increase exhaust and open vents( at bottom) will suck Rh out if lower outside- airflow,baby! Suck dry in, blow wet out- Balance
