My only issue so far is that I bought a humidifier but it only raised my RH by like 4% I'm barely hitting 50 RH. Is there an actually humidifier that raises the RH by 10-15%?

I had a similar issue where I couldn't get humidity higher than 30% in my 4x4 grow tent, so I simply soaked a towel with hot water and spread it out on the floor of the tent. Now the humidity in the tent is around 60-70% constantly and I only have to re-wet the towel once a day to keep it like that. Maybe give that a try?

I believe humidity in the first few weeks (veg) should be around 60% and then gradually decrease to 30%-40% during flowering.

Awesome idea man I would have never thought of that! I'll give it a try tonight

Awesome so here is my sprout! It seems like the shells almost off. Should I leave it? It seems it has the first set of jagged leaves.

So I'm actually going to give the seedling its first offic feed of GH Maxibloom at 1/8th of a teaspoon and some CalMag.

Whoever told you that LED was full spectrum was full of blurple bullshit. If it looks funny it isn't full spectrum.

That doesn't mean it's worthless, just that it isn't what you were thinking it was.

I took a picture with an Apollo LED SAFE glasses that's why the color is off lol

If it isn't putting out white light it isn't full spectrum. All the pics look pink.

Not hating, just calling apples to apples.

It's full cycle buddy. I can see the white LED when I look at it in person. I put those glasses over my iPhone so I'm sure the color is off.

ttystikk · Mar 8, 2016

So take another pic without the glasses over the camera. And, why would you be doing that in the first place?

'Full cycle' is not the same thing as full spectrum.

I do so becuase you can see the seedling better. i hope this satisfies your need to be right. If I'm wrong then my bad. But I thought full spectrum meant you could use it for Veg and Flower. But my light does have some white LED's

I'm satisfied you know everything and don't need my help. Carry on.

Dude this worked like a charm!!! Thanks I'm at 58-60% RH constantly.I have my fan at 25% right now too. Being a Noob I had my fan operating at 100% for no reason lol.

Awesome! Your little one is looking great. :clap:

Is the shell still stuck on it? If it doesn't want to come off on its own, you could try to carefully nudge it off with some tweezers. I've read that it comes off easier if you mist it a bit with water beforehand to soften it.

Keep us posted!

Nope shell came off this morning! She's standing tall and loving the extra humidity

Seedling doing very well. I put two more blackjacks in the solo cup hoping they will germ and sprout. Anywho here's my single lady standing tall

714steadyeddie · Mar 10, 2016

Coco was starting to feel dry to the touch so I gave her some water.

What do you guys think looks good ?

jaredlee · Mar 12, 2016

Perfect

714steadyeddie · Mar 14, 2016

Hello RU,

So I have a question. My blackjack is doing great but it doesn't seem to be getting any taller. I accidentally dropped the solo cup when it was a seedling but when I set the plant and coco back in the cup I put the plant off center, and I think I covered the stem with too much coco. So should I transplant my lady? She's getting wider and I feel like she's gonna hit the cup.

Let me know what y'all think

Bachomp · Mar 14, 2016

Cut down the rim of the cup if you have to, no point in moving the plant that young.

jaredlee · Mar 14, 2016

I agree, just cut it down a little

714steadyeddie · Mar 14, 2016

Yea I cut the cup. Such a simple idea that I totally didn't think of lol.

Heres some pictures. Things are moving along!

So originally I was going to go with one 5gal smart pot and SCROG in my 2x2 tent. But I managed to sprout all 3 and now I don't want to throw away 2 perfectly good plants. What do you think are some better options to grow all 3 plants?
