I tried scrog method as well and yes im aware this is an icorrect scorg. Unfortunately I did not have the proper space for this many plants gown this way.

Looks good but It’s a jungle in there. How’s the Rh? They don’t look like week 7 flowering. More like week 3.

Yeah,they got away from me a bit. I have recently started taking out unnecessary fan leaves again, blocking budsites. I was taking them off regularly but didnt want to over do it so i stopped for a few.

At the moment RH is at 55% Ive been battling the RH the last few weeks, did some digging on VPD which according to what ive found puts me in an okay spot for 75°. But like I said, it has been a bit of a battle to keep it there. Any suggestions?

If you can get the Rh down as things progress that would be better. You could bump the temp up a few degrees 78 or so that should drop the Rh some. Your grow looks clean so at this stage it’s not critical but as the buds get big it would help to be a bit dryer. Avoid bud rot and PM. You’re going to need a lot of patience, especially if you reference the breeders flower schedule. IDK the strain but if it’s the typical breeder phantasy 8-9 week variety, you have 6-7 weeks to go. Did it take a long time for them to show pistils after the flip?

It took longer than the previous grow I went through but everything about the 2 grows was different so I kind of assumed that may have been the difference. Im glad you said that about the time frame as well. I have to agree they look young relative to the "8-9" week flower time I was told. I dont care to rush things, its quite a bit of effort to throw it all away at this point. 4 on the left are Ice bomb, 2 on the right are Raw D. Having an indica as well as a sativa simultaneously didnt help me either.

Hello, can you tell me how high the leaf surface temps are at the center of the canpoy under that HPS or maybe at the side, too? Because the VPD charts need to take this, not ambient temps. And under HPS leaf temps are usually much higher than ambient because of the amount of heat radiation it emits.
