My Dehumitifer & ac keeps the % within 5% of my set controls , I want my room @50% all times . it does jump 45-55 but most of the time it’s sits at 50. expect at lights out, there’s a spike , but it’s back in range in bout 30ish min.
I’m running a Quest 105.
I don’t really have humidity cycles in the room except lights out , After I water it doesn’t go over 55% but the Dehumitifer is over kill, so it sucks it up n goes to limp mode till it climbs a bit. Then it does it again.
The 105 with a 3.5ton mini drinks water out of the air , it pulls it out of the plant , so I’m basically speeding up their Metabolism to take in more food n water .

When I said wet n dry cycles I’m speaking about the medium, I want it to get a full range of conditions over 24hrs . Lights on , wet medium, enough that it’s ready for water 24hrs later, I want the soil to dry to take in more air, it’s critical for healthy roots, if your roots are good they will work harder n make more bud.

Not sure if that answers it or not,
I went back for 4ths on dessert ,(dam shadder has me in a cloud) I’ll reread it over coffee at work, might interpret it differently then lol.

ok, I also thought you meant wet dry cycles from your dehumidifier too by the way it was worded in your original quote. I was pretty confused and wondered what you meant cuz my humidifier only does one setting and thats whatever I set the digital read out to and it keeps it like yours...about +/- 5%

I’m an over kill kinda guy, and one thing that contributes to my success is a huge Dehumitifer, the more wet dry cycles you can introduce in the flowering period the bigger your plants will be,

I thought you literally was raising and lowering your humidity 2 different settings. lol

I keep getting "Bad Request" on GPS website this morning. Internet lines must be down. Acting funny for a couple hrs.
Or is it just me?

502 Bad Request errors are often sent when an http server exceeds its connection pool to the database. It is not a very useful status message for that error, from a user perspective, but nonetheless common. It’s sort of an internet busy signal, and largely a problem that can be fixed with a bit of (virtual) infrastructure improvement. (which usually does not mean “get a bigger box,” it should mean “get more boxes”)

This is really interesting to me.i was under the impression that mj liked going from wet to dry to wet,soaking all of the medium. So you must not be watering through all the way? Or you wouldn't be able to water daily? I have a wicked heavy watering hand(something I'm trying to correct) I believe I'm waiting long enough between waterings,but I may be watering too much at once.if im following you correctly, you aren't soaking your medium all the way through or until run off?

 

[hillbill]

Not watering throughwill eventually show up with varying deficiencies and poor root development. Finding it very important even with organics!

 

[Bakersfield]

I've found that in coco coir, it's best to hold back water during the early stages of the veg cycle.
I like to start with a wet and kind of dry cycle, for a week or so, before initiating multi feeds on a daily basis.
It seems to force the roots to search far and wide in the medium for water and nutrients. The results are a huge rootball and huge buds

When all things are on point,a plant can definitely drink gallons a day(more so under big hps lights) with a big strong root systems.

I feel I get better plants with a more consistent moist medium.

Thanks to everyone for the advice on how to handle the bud rot

The infected Cookie Wreck got chopped yesterday--and you guys were right. The rot was everywhere. Even where I couldn't see it from the outside--it still had gray inside. 90%+ got chopped and thrown away. The plant was huge. Over 7 feet tall, biggest plant I've ever grown. There was a lot of material that got tossed, maybe a pound or more of buds? Ended up with an oz or two of larfy bottom nugs that got washed with hydrogen peroxide and water.

And more bad news today. Also noticed some bud rot on another plant--Chelumbian D. Damn. Guess that's another loss. I only have 4 more outdoor plants (Copper Chem, Dream Catcher, Cookies n Chem and Half & Half). The Dream Catcher and Half and Half look to be at 6 weeks-ish but the Copper and Cookies are just starting to stack nugs and probably have another month or more left.

Can I ask your guys opinion, should I try to grow these out longer or harvest all the plants at this point? Does bud rot keep spreading through the entire garden once it starts?

I'm in promix as of right now and this is what I've been trying to do as well.I've really f'd up some seedlings in the past overwatering.i think I'm on to it now,very light watering every 3-4 days and I started feeding around 150ppm a week after I planted in promix. Seems to be working out and my plants are gaining weekly.

How close are you to harvest? Budrot was usually the death knell to my outdoor season when I first saw it(i love my cob,only way i could do an indoor) sounds like you have some fat colas,rot loves that.ime,there is not much you can do once it sets in.you can watch the weather,but once rot starts,I believe,you're pretty much doomed.too bad you're getting so much rot in the end of August.

I am watering to the point of saturation every day, most of the time, if I feel like did didn’t drink as much as I wanted the day before , I’ll hit with less tonight , About once a week I over water, so I can collect the run off data.
This will show me any swings or build up.

I’m using root master pots (full of holes)
I also keep 2 fans blowing under my canopy.

Were you running coco in those shallow tubs you were growing in?

From the looks of your buds,it appears you're growing some large plants.with those pots and 2 fans blowing,I can understand how you're watering that frequently. Thanks for the info

Thanks. The Cookie Wreck was the only plant that was nearing harvest. The others are all weeks away. But if its a case of sub-par bud vs. nothing, I would rather harvest and get something.

Yeah, its surprising that it is so humid right now. I live in the LA area, but the humidity is starting to feel more and more like Florida. Last week the humidity was peaking at 88% overnight, every night. And last night it was only 76%, so a little better, but probably still too high.

When you say the garden is doomed once it sets in, are you recommending to toss the plants? Harvest early? or wait and see?

I'd be looking at an early harvest.at least make some oil/edibles with CLEAN bud. I'm super paranoid about budrot,only have a few plants out this season and have zero expectations of any harvest.i look at my mj as medicine,budrot just doesnt jive well with me.pretty much why I've taken this outdoor season off,lost #s last year.
Edit
I think you'll end up finding more rot if you wait it out

If you can save the bud and dry it
(I’d probably opt for dry ice drying - outside)
You can make a suave or rub.
That is really helpful for pain n inflammation

Weed
Coconut oil
Sun flower lecithin
Beeswax
Peppermint oil.

Np
Ya there big , #growntrees
The 2 fans under the canopy isn’t for drying out medium, but for air circulation so I can get better density in the lower half .
It does help dry tho,

Can the plants be moved?
I've got 9' of clearance under the deck and just attach a couple of new tarps to the floor of the upper level to acts as a roof.
If it's late in the season, I'll put my plants under the tarps when it rains.
Not a perfect solution, but I only lost ~4 zips last year.

Two other things help:
1) Pick strains that are known for fluffy buds. They have better airflow.
2) Silica makes your plants tougher and less vulnerable to mold, mildew, and pests. (I use pro-tekt by dyna gro.)
