Thanks. You are the best. I have not thought about doing a journal. I don't like the idea of taking any pics of the plants let alone posting them online. lol I am starting to go through others journals to learn from them. Esp growing in coco. The tent setup is working great. I think my problem was that I had too many plants in there. Handled them too much and I lolli popped them at the 2 week mark of 12/12 and they immediately stopped stretching. My humidity is higher than it should be. around 70%. But I keep hoping that is not the problem. I don't think I could control the RH. I am in a high humid state for this time of year and I have a small booster fan that blows in outside air constantly.
Can I do a journal with out pics?? That just would not be right. I will think about it.
You could, but I wouldn't. There will be a time when you can give back to the community you are learning from, but right now isn't that time. Just be a sponge and feel free to ask questions in threads like this.
Do you have an air conditioner somewhere that you could use? They are good at reducing the RH.
What is the temperature in your grow room/area? As you likely know - relative humidity and temperature are interlinked. RH is a measure of how much moisture is in the air out of the total possible *at your current temp*.
In the meantime as we figure this out - do you have good airflow in your room/tent while the RH is high? Fans, etc.? They will be important in combatting mold.
I seriously doubt it is the RH that effectively "hermied" your plants. I am sure there is a first for everything, but I have yet to see that happen.
Let's talk about your lights, temperature, watering schedule, nutrition schedule, and airflow together. I'm sure we would catch the problem if we address those.
Growing weed isn't that hard, so I expect it is something fundamental that we can figure out. Sorry you had such crappy experience. This process can be just as enjoyable as the end product.
