Hey pink sorry if i made a sarcastic comment at azgrow.
I felt that i had given good advice and that regarding your heat issue with the 400watthps the high output cfls would be a great choice for you.
Then this guy comes from nowhere with his "comment",which is so obviously just snide.
If they are combined with side lighting,as they have a low top penetration rate,they work very very well.
I would never give you poor advice,knowingly anyway.
Sorry if i subverted your journal

I njust wanted to say hi. Im off to work now

I noticed my room is pretty hot too and I'm adding 4 more cfls, thank God I have an AC unit for the window in my basement....

its ok its just that i diffused that situation right after the comment was made then attention was brought back to it......then when I have tons of questions and really need help with my grow no one notices the questions they only notice the yick yak going on...I thought the advice you gave was awesome and I said so right after he made the comment, I value your help, your expertise and as well as from az and anyone that has some good advice....and often times that advice will conflict but its ulitimately up to me to weed through what you guys tell me and make it work for me....

NOW does anyone have any advice on the humidity issue Im having?? or is it an issue...any encouragement on her not showing hairs so much or showing anything???

my girl went on 12/12 on monday march 31st and it showed female parts on tuesday april 8th, the white hairs started to pop up everywhere after that....
the boys showed sex earlier (6-7days after going on12/12)
I also have those high humid/temp problems since it's just a small closet but I hope to fix it with the AC unit in the window next to the closet door

i can't remember... high humidity or low? too low and its not really a problem... too high during flower can make you more prone to bud rot and mold... i'd get worried if i had more than 50-60% RH when flowering...


as for the hairs... patience my friend... patience...

increase airflow in the cab if its too high of humidity...

Hey Pinksensa.

I'm just stopping by to read up and say "hi."

i believe u would want to take the humid air out of the grow room.. not move it around... so oscilating fans probably wont help u in removing humidity.. its been a while since i was reading about your set up ( the threads more about plants then hardware ) so u might have to refresh my memory.. you do have intake/exhaust right? what are you powering it with?

if you are sufficiently exhausting the air and you are still having humidity problems you might need to add a dehumidifier (one suggestion)

it took my plants 7 days to show some Hairs after inducing flowering.. after that they just started to blow up with white clusters..

humid air generally represents lots of water around an a lack of air movement....depending on the strain some prefer a higher rh an some like a lower....so my suggestion is to increase air flow an increase light...more light will dry the air out faster...keep the rh around 40-50%....do you have any light leaks that could cause your plant to continue to veg....an depending if its a sat dom it could take up to 3 weeks to sex...like lumberjack said....paitence....peace az

no light leaks I put my roomie in there with it all sealed up and she couldnt see any light...it being sealed up I have deduced is my humidity problem...not exit airflow so the temp sits at 80 and and the moisture from the plant and soil fills the closet w/ humidity.

Im working on ventin out of the closet to attic or something....
On another note....I took the two clones that I had in soil and rinsed and put in hempy....so 6 in hempy now...this week im going to cut all the clones I can from the Momma plant Marybeth and get them rooting then transfer to hempy....and Im working on the cabinet setup with a goal of being in it w/in the month and flowering all six and any all new clones taken. Then Im going to kill the mother...by then I should have some good growth from the beans I am dropping to be mothers.....then once the scrog is done that closet will be mothers....of afghanXbigbud, sugar shack and any other genetics that land on my front door...then I will flower in the cabinet.

Everything will be hempy but im on the fence about the mothers being in soil or hempy...when I wake up Elizabeth I will take pics of everybody..

its only high humid when the lights are out and the closet is shut

you need to run the fans at night then...imo i wouldn't worry with a de-humidifier expecially out here its gonna get real dry soon....peace az

the fans run 24/7 one blows under the canopy and one across the top of the canopy....

its the vacum seal that I have going on w/ the door closed....idk what im going to do right now.. i agree about the dry tho

is it a regular door or sliding door..i recomend purchasing a sheet of ply wood an have it cut to fit the door space put some panda plastic around it then cut a vent hole on the bottem an run a fan threw it....should be only 40 bucks for everything..just some more diy....peace az

regular and the ply wood is a good idea...i already have an inline fan and tubing so it would just be the plywood and i may hve that here.
