Btw, i think there’s something wrong with your rh level...here’s the chart i use (temps in centigrade, tho; color-coded for devel phase, key in top right corner of table):

I think you should be in 50s now, with mucho airflow...do what’s right for you, just giving a heads up....i have had pm, and it’s no fun....

That's the chart I've been using. I've been in the top of the green and low end of the yellow ranges now for 2 to 3 weeks. We haven't been that high of RH outside so kind of weird the girls are seemingly creating it all like this. Transpiration big time.

Thanks man. Yeah I think the dehumidifier will do the trick. This is the one I bought.

Vremi 70 Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier for Large Spaces and Basements - Quietly Removes Moisture to Prevent Mold and Mildew

I have an alarm threshold set at 65%. Above that and I get a notification. Obviously, these girls have been breaking that threshold every night. :rolleyes:

This is amazing to me. I haven't run my humidifier for at least 2 weeks now. The RH outside hasn't been that high, but these plants are pushing the RH up to as much as 69% on their own.

They appear to be pulling in every drop of everything I'm feeding, 3 gallons every other day, and it's going from roots to leaves and out the stomata as transpiration. Seems like a good indication of them thriving.

Here's bud top close ups of each. The high RH doesn't really seem to be negatively affecting trich production on any of them.

No, haven't gotten one yet... Still upsizing and dialing in the grow.

The new room will end up being about 11' x 11' with seven 3' x 3' areas. I have to increase the amount of electrical I have available by about double for each circuit in the basement.

Lol... i added a bunch of circuits last christmas, want more...try to set yours up so it’s easy to add more....

How many 3x3s can you do in the current room? Upgrading curvuits tjere, too?

Damn, I didn't even get a notification for my own thread!

I think the best I can do right now without replacing my electric clothes dryer with a gas powered one is to change my current 4 - 15a 120v circuits down there with 2 - 15a 240v to double the watts available without increasing the amps.

I'm looking at 7 3' x 3' in the new room and the current room has a weird corner I can't use so the most I could do in there is still just 4 and they'd have to be offset to get around them. I'm thinking I'll use about 600 watts of HLG QB144 V2 boards at 4000k in the current room as the veg room instead. I'm moving down to 15 gallon bags too so if I'm only vegging, I think I can fit 8 or 9 plants in there, and on wheels.

Yep, I'll need to devise a way to drain the flower room back to the veg room drain. I also have to move the water barrel station to make sure the flower room is a full 11' x 11'. I've got my work cut out for me.

First grow in your new setup?

Yep, sorry wasn't sure if you were talking about that or some new legality I was gonna have to contend with. It is looking like the cost of everything will take a while to allow me to obtain all items needed and room built. Hopefully, I'll be running a full grow in the new room by Christmas.
