Just another grow thread

Running a humditifier gets old other than that no worries! I measured my dehumidifier water it's odd it's not very consistent PH or ppm same water in not sure why? I was dumping it but started using it beats packing water

Use it!

What’s the downside to low humidity? I’m constantly on PM patrol.

Low RH is no guarantee of getting rid of PM.

Spray wettable sulfur powder.

I don’t have PM. I’m just saying that high humidity is conducive for PM, and what’s the equivalent downside for low humidity?

Low humidity isn’t optimal for plant growth. The plants just have less vigor in low RH. Has to do with VPD.

Thank you. That is most definitely an “equivalent downside” if I ever read one.

I have 3 tents inside of an insulated 10x20 shed. I have a dehumidifier and an air conditioner running full time. I have trouble keeping RH below 65.

There a reason you wanted 3 tents and not a more wide open space?

Slower growth because the plant is having trouble respiring properly; it can't open its stomata or it will wilt and therefore can't take up CO2 and so growth is slowed.

This is why supplemental CO2 in dry conditions is just throwing money away.

I have several tents inside the same room so I can have them on different light cycles as needed. But climate-wise they all have the same input. Easy to manage.

 

[Bustenbeans]

I'd be paranoid about light leaks bit that just my opinion.wondering if its easyer to control tent environment having a big "lung" room that they are all pulling from?

Most of the things I do can easily be explained by being a complete noob. And a hard-headed noob at that. Having said that, though, with respect to the tents, my “logic” was that if I could control the temp and humidity in the room, the tent’s environment would have to follow. That’s almost true. Frequently, with the lights on, the temp and the RH is about 10 points higher inside the tents.

You're not wrong; as long as the main room is good, the tents will be too.

Looking good bud! My humidity runs a little higher in my 5x5 tents. having the beds in there makes my fans run a bit harder. dont be afraid to cover the top of your pots with white plastic, it will cut down on the amount of evaporation off your medium and may help lower your room humidity a touch.

I'll give that a shot once I get into flower see if I can take a small load off the dehu.shit even if it's +2, -2 better than nothing at all.

Wow man! I need to invest in the floraflex system!!

I'll give that a try.i can tell once I get alot of biomass in the room once I flip to flower it'll wanna naturally rise RH and Anything to keep it lower will benefit.

Not sure where you are but around here just getting the humidity out of the basement is the goal.

Got all the higher power genetics into new pots give them a week or two then I'll sex them all right in the veg room

It's so easy to setup @TerpyTyrone works awesome once you dial in your fertgation time's and make sure the water is being equally distributed to each feed dipper.i Think it was little under 100 bucks for the 5x10 setup.
