For Veg, RH between 50-70 is good as plant will grow faster but during flowering especially 2 weeks before harvest 40% and lower will prevent bud rot and increase trichome production. I have my RH at 37% right now.

Very nice man!!! Its still a learning curve for me. Growing in the Northeast during the winter and spring, the humidity stays on the low side. I finally bought a humidifier but I am getting ready to flip these girls to flower in a week so it won't get a lot of use. Then ironically enough, as I head through flower the humidity here in the Northeast will pick up I will need to use a dehumidifier LOL.

Day 78
A study in light stress.
I turned off the LEDs today to take pictures with the flash on my camera. When it's not Magical Disco Purple, the stressed leaves are easier to see.
I think she'll be mostly ok? She's not dying anyway.
You just can't see the unhappy leaves in this light.

She is still looking amazing despite her burnt tips.

I think she'll be just fine, but youve learned so much this time around, your next flower period will be even better. I'll be here to see it.

I took more photos, so you're getting another post.
This is my favorite cola. She's right in the center and she's symmetrical and frosty.
There are two tops that didn't keep up with the rest in the race for light and height. In the past couple weeks they've been getting less and less light as the buds above them fatten up and sugar leaves get bigger. I think they kinda died. This shows how tall they got compared to the rest.
It also shows how far down on the plant the branch is softer/weaker. I'm not planning on removing anything more than wilted leaves. Bud sites and branches are staying on unless I hear a good reason to ditch them.

Day 80
Trichome pics.
And zooming out, pretty, pretty colas.
I still don't like her RH. It's above 30% and possibly around 50%. I took some leaves today because I'm scared of bud rot with the higher RH. I can feel and smell the dampness when I open the cab.
So here's before and after her latest (and last?) defoliation.
Oh, and here's during. I had to pull branches out of the cab to get in there.
And the pile of leaves
I took so many photos. This wasn't even all of them. I'll leave you with what the canopy's looking like after the haircut.

Pretty good looking plant FN. I suggest you get a dehumidifier else you may be prone to bud rot.
Interested in the yield tho. .

The room the wardrobe is in has a dehumidifier. My WW next door doesn't have an issue. I think it's just the jungle that is Fruity.

Whqt is your ideal RH for now then? I was under the impression 40% was fine

I'd be happy if it stayed under 40%. But I'm thinking it's well above that during the hours it's left alone. Ideally I'd want it never higher than 40. It just smells damp and that make me nervous.

Garden tour and tech overview.
Day 81ish Electric Fruit. Day 9 of flush.
White Widow autoflower. Day 53. She's got her own journal.
NezFleur has been upgrading stuff up top. He keeps telling me about what he's building but it goes over my head.
All of this stuff is hooked up to a SCADA system. That means he can manipulate sensors, record and watch data change on his laptop.
If I got any of this wrong, he's welcome to correct me.
He has to take his laptop with him for work. That means he can't leave it hooked up all nifty like this all the time.

Wow that system running on the laptop is seriously jaw dropping

The SCADA system allows the user to control and record activity. When it's disconnected, the PLC still maintains the cabs using temperature and humidity readings and door sensors.
Thats awesome!!

Day 86
Day 13 or 14 of flush.
I think she's almost ready. This time I'll start with the trichomes. I don't know a percentage, but I'm seeing more amber now than at the beginning of flush for sure. I guess that's no surprise though. Almost two weeks.
I waffle. Sometimes I'm so impatient for her to finish! But tonight I'm content to just look at Fruity all bulked up like this. To smell her when I open the cab. Pretty lights, pretty flowers. Anytime I need to boost my mood I can come look at these buds.
The branches are getting heavy. The ones by the door were starting to bend out of the box under their own weight whenever the door was removed. Took another giant twist tie (can't recommend them strongly enough!) and stuck it in to prop the branches up.

I was thinking about your grow tonight. I hadn't seen an update in a bit and hoped the grow was still going well. Looks great Flower! How much longer for the harvest?

I really don't know! The top buds look ready, but a lot of the lower stuff is still fluffy and thin. Maybe this weekend I guess? Lower stuff will end up going to hash no matter what so maybe I shouldn't worry about that.
