Once I have more plant matter will that make a difference in humidity?

I'm having a hard time seeing your probe in the picture. Would I be better off having it off to the side along the wall ?
Here is where I have it at the moment

Yea thats a good spot, just not too close nor far from plants like where you see mine which is about the same.

Yea in my experience when its filled wall to wall and producing buds, actually just before that I start to see a spike. About 3 weeks into flower.

If its not spiking the tent must be under filled which isnt a bad thing, its great in terms of mold prevention. But some like to get as much yield possible which that might bother.

Its hard to fill in the tent right the first time but if running clones youd become an expert by the 3rd run.

Tall tents as well as wider are easier to control rh but yea my plants are 2.5x2.5’ each.

No, it's not on max. Are you referring to the exhaust fan? That hasn't gone above 4 and I have the other 2 oscillating fans on 7

Yea, Id run the exaust fan on max when flowering as it will help keep rh in tent if you have a tent as full of buds as possible. Whats the rh in the lung room the tent is in?

I did turn the light up one more notch and that did help a little. I got the temp now set for 75 degrees too. The adjustments helped! Thank you!!

The lung room is at 65 degrees and 56% rh

Yea I think 75-85f is a good range and the rh is good but if you pack the tent full which is easy with 4 plants, itll probably need a dehuey to get it to 45rh or 40.

Its easy to do with four plants thats like four 2x2’s which are considered small and easy to over fill.

I like 2.5x5’s or 5x5’s better, more symmetrical if to run as many single plants possible for most yield. A plant in a 3x3 is large Im about to do my first one.

I really dont like the 2x2 but I do have a 2x4 which im also getting rid of. At least the plants can interlap and grow slightly bigger than a single 2x2 plant. Get some overlapping light.

Id go ahead and tuck/weave those branches through the net to make the plants canopies wider by the way.

It doesnt look like itll grow too big idk what strains or photo/auto which it is. But it looks like its almost done with stretch already.

I've been worrying about the stretch so that's good to hear. I was worried I'm going to run out of room with my height.

They are all photos. One is a Blueberry from seed and the others are clones. GG#4, chem#4, and blue dream

I've never used a trellis net before so I will try that with tucking and weaving the branches through

Would I lower the trellis net to do that then? To get the smaller stuff to go through?

How long into flower and how tall is your tent? I looked again, theres lots of space left I saw agaim but the plants dont have the start of flowers yet which I thought I saw.

But you have tons of room and a net so your good but need to tuck those. You have a tighter square spacing in the net so its even easier, Im using 6” nets.

Id make it look something like these. Flatted them bu weaving unltil those spaces are filled which should take you to end of stretch with plenty of height left.

The level as is looks perfect just weave the branches through, wind them around the net, super crop if you have to. That means pinching the branch till it breaks internally to allow you to bend it again, it will heal stronger.

By the way before I forget, whats your grow medium? You look to have some defeciencies which will only get worse and in flower they really depend on the nutes.

Id say just as much in veg because if I drop my nute concentration my veg clones get sick too.

Perfect! Thats an awesome height of tent to have. Ok those should be done stretching in a week. Unless it has those sativa genes that can keep stretching though a little slower after week 3 till week 6 pretty much.

Oh sure that makes sense!! That's great info!

3 of them are a mixture of ocean forest and happy frog. That's for the clones. My Blueberry is just happy frog.

I was using fox farm bottle nutes during veg and switched to gai green the beginning of my 1st week of flower. I am hoping that once the gai green kicks in it will take care of it. From what I read it can take a few weeks to notice anything. If there's anything else I should add or change like worm castings maybe let me know

Right on! That's good to hear)

Yeah the blue dream has more sativa in it and is something I've been concerned about. You're recommendations about weaving the branches tho makes me feel better about it

I dont do soil Ive only done it a few times and didnt get good results. I mainly do drain to waste coco.

Theres lots of experienced soil growers that can help though if you keep updating thread with questions.

Just type “bump” to bring thread up to top of page again and again for maximum exposure without breaking any unspoken rules. Some one will answer! It does get quiet here sometimes thats all.
