Got no legit exhaust fans though, have a 12 inch fan blowing stale air out the top vent, 1 fan over plants
I think I’m your case purpleb3rry, Atleast make sure you have really good airflow over your plants!
Exchanging the air isn’t going to do a lot with that type of humidity... your plants won’t perspire much to add to the high humidity imo.
If your using LEDs, and have an old hps laying around, throw that in there if your temps aren’t too high. Itl drop the humidity a tiny bit.
And defoliating any excess leaves will bring humidity down a touch too.
You’ve gotta get a portable dehumidifier purpleb3rry!
Not being able to bring humidity down when you need too is playing with Fire, or should I say powdery mildew?

What size would you need for a 3mt x 2mt room do you think

So this strain has really opened my eyes to just how different every strain can be in so many ways. I germinated 8 seeds and only 2 made it I got both girls ready for the world and then picked one as my project and the other went to a mate who is yet to show me an update on his so I fear he has neglected it anyway. Just a few progression pics for u all to see what I mean about strain genetics.

When I dose co2 the humidity can get up to 90% easy! (Byproduct is water vapour) I was growing in a 3m x 3m sealed room and this dehumidifier kept humidity down to 35% in late flower. Was running nearly everyday for 1.5 years and still runs like new. Good brand.
I think I paid $350 for it on sale.... you only need it to save your crop once and it’s easily paid for itself imo.

Cos I left my partner and my room is at his house. I’m sure I could beg and plead to continue letting me but I’m not about to do that and would mean I’d still have to see him everyday which isn’t very fair in him I guess
Understandable Venus, I think your right, not worth it.
And sorry didn’t mean to be nosy, thought you may not of had the room or something? And was going to suggest buying a 3x3m garden shed for now....
Where there’s a will there’s a way I always say!

Its bloody annoyin being restricted on what you can an cant do.. Id love to give indoor growin a crack but it wont be happening anytime soon apart from lil wardrobe setup.. Im sure youll be back into it soon enough though:rolleyes:
I just don’t know how tho in a rental with hps beaming etc. Have had heaps of offers to do it at others places but wouldn’t like that at all not knowing who has access etc. Fuck that.
But I really really want these clones faark!!

Yea rentals suck unless you got 12month inspections that you could work around. Lotta extra work settin things up to pull it down but could be done. Only down side is if ya need something fixed in the house or watevs ya would have to lock that room up good an hope they dont notice anythin outta tbe ordinary..
Dont think i could handle havin my grow setup up at someone else place either i like to mingle with my girls as much as possible would hate not havin full control over them.
Im lucky however my grow is outside an the realestate chick never steps foot outside an only see her once a year..

Hey, Girl! Think outside the box. This is an opportunity for you to hone your skills as a grower & expand your growing repertoir.

From memory, you've only grown from clones, n'est pas? How about just go small with your single favourite from the available selection & concentrate on creating seeds &/or your own clones from it? I know you like 'em BIG ;) , but it's an opportunity to try something differerent until you've got the secure space available to do more.

At the very least, you'll still be growing something & having a bit of fun during the learning-curve.

I have grown from seeds once but they all ended up male and tbh don’t like wasting the time to sex. Feminised for me. But I like growing from clones especially from strong mothers as it’s guaranteed what ur going to get. I also don’t mind growing smaller plants that part is fine, it’s more the having to dismantle area each time there is an inspection. I’ve only signed 6mths which was a mistake because there’s two in that time. If I’d done a year there still would have only been two.

But look I agree where there’s a will there’s a way and I’ll figure it out just needs to be in time to get these babies especially the Girl Scouts!

You led with the chin with that one & left yourself open to some earthy British humour........

".....tbh don’t like wasting the time to sex" F'nur F'nur.....You're obviously doing it wrong! o_O

If you get female clones from your supplier (from a known/strong female Mother), then application of Colloidal Silver will give you feminised seeds when you introduce the pollen from a "turned" female & introduce it to a recipient female (2-3 weeks difference in initiating flower - males first). Seeds from that inter-plant "boffo rumpy-pumpy":hump: will always be female, since they're both fundamentally/genetically female.

"....especially the Girl Scouts!" Looks like a decision/choice has been made already.......

Look, I know you're no ditsy female & can hold your own. Just do a bit of reading/learning & you'll be back on the horse in no time.

Pardon the obvious pun........:smile:
