1st Grow - Bubblelicious CFL & LED Grow Tent

Ive heard that anything over RH of 75% plants dont transpose water. So they will wilt because they are not releasing any moisture. That could have been the problem. Vegging i think you usually try and keep a RH around 60% and then drop it down to around 30-50 for flowering dropping it to 30-40 the last few weeks.

Thanks Nitro. I'm going to chalk it up to high humidity. Keeping a close eye on her. But I now have temps under control.

Come to think of it, I have hydrangeas and on hot humid days, i come home and they are all laying down too. Never gave it much thought because I couldn't control it.

Well that would be defeating the purpose. She wants light. Its the temps and humidity she seems to complain about. My LED isn't throwing off much heat at all.
I do have the temps and RH under control at the moment. Although it took a huge dehumidifier and huge A/C unit (to cool the hot air the dehumidifier puts out) right next to the closet. Right now the temps are at 76 degrees and RH is at 50.

do you have ducts to remove the air? whats the scoop on the led? lol im debating on getting 1 or 2 for next year

Yes, I have a carbon filter with a inline fan that removes the smell and air out the top to my attic, with a opening at the bottom door allowing cooler air into the tent. I also have a clip on fan circulating the air around the room lightly breezing the tops of my plants.

The LEDs are great! I am surprised and elated after buying the Znet4. I am glad I chose it over an HPS.

Yea, Not a bad idea. I thought about that too, but decided against it because I couldn't keep a close eye on them without going down stairs all the time lol.
