I'm always looking out for your health young man!
A good place to start is Archiweedies' thread on Vapor Pressure Deficit. It's great for anyone looking to figure out the best temps and humidity for their tent.

Man I knew 7 pics wasn't going to be enough for you! Thanks for stopping by anyway Norcali!
I understand we all wanna grow great plants and all that, but with cannabis being such a versatile plant why not just keep her happy for eachs own climate? Just seems easier than trying to create a bio-dome in a tent.

I don’t disagree with you, consistency is key in my opinion, cause my numbers aren’t anywhere like that and they are healthy as can be. But I think those numbers give you the best opportunity to keep your plants at peak growth rates throughout their life cycle and that’s why most of us aim for somewhere in the range.
I had wpm in my tent from my very first grow and never fully got rid of it, that shit just hangs around. Dealt with it for 1.5 years. Nice not to have it and humidity is a key factor for that. It is the reason I did a somewhat hasty defol of my three photo's in flower. I understand wanting optimal growing conditions and I've certainly got more knowledge and equipment than I did my first grow, but damnit I want plants in my tent not humidifiers...
Shed, did you find the easter egg yet?
Any difference in method that produces one type or the other? Or is it random (or strain particular maybe)?

Cloners have water roots, soil has soil roots

A Vicks Vaporizer takes up very little room, and on a timer with 30 minutes on and 3 hours off it might be worth if for anyone interested in hitting the VPD target. It's not about creating a bio-dome where it isn't possible (like my grow), but if it is possible to find the blend of temps and RH, it should create happier plants and bigger buds.
I don't know as I haven't cloned that many different strains in there. Most had long stringy roots and eventually did fine in soil. I only lost one in that water-to-soil process. Wish I had a better answer, but there are others who have built bucket aero cloners like mine who may be able to provide more feedback.
Quite true and we had discussed that difference earlier, but Amy was asking about the two different types of water roots I've gotten.Cloners have water roots, soil has soil roots

Friday update on flip day 29...and I did not take the big three out of the shed last night - as a overnight temperature test. Outside it only got into the mid 50's last night and I had reset the thermometer in the morning so I knew I would get an accurate result, and this is what it said this morning:
Ignoring the high RH numbers, the soil level only got down to 60º over night, which seems better for their dark time than squeezing them into the tent. I'm hoping that as the buds start to form the weather will be shifting, creating new possibilities. I did add another fan to the oval this morning as well.
Speaking of buds forming, here is the Sour G:
With a bit of frost:
AK-47 with no signs of frost yet:
And Peyote Critical:
Everyone is still indoors
Except, of course, this bee:
I hope you all have great plans for this weekend! Carry on...
Yes ... so is that what makes the difference in the 2 types of roots Shed was talking about just there ... i.e., either the slow ones with “fishbone shoots” or these spiked ones he said went super fast? I just wasn’t clear if soil v cloner was the difference Shed was talking about ...Cloners have water roots, soil has soil roots
...
EDIT:
s they were all in the cloninator... hmmm curious...

Great update Shed... and the bee pic is beeeautiful!
After having suffered the shame of a moldy grow room I am well aware of the pitfalls of bad humidity. I think high humidity is a lot worse than low because high humidity endangers your plants health whereas low humidity generally just slows them down.
I honestly don’t understand how you guys can keep proper temps and humidity in those little tents but that’s another topic; my approach now is to have moved to the basement where it’s easier to control the temperature and humidity of my entire basement. Being winter is pretty dry inside often below 20% but I found my little homemade humidifier here keeps it between 30 and 40% humidity and I figure in the summer with my dehumidifier I can keep it below 50%.
I am sure I would get better results if I dialed in the humidity a little better but my young plants that are supposed to like more humidity seem pretty happy so I can live with that.

Nice dobee! I'll table the RH for now, I'm adventuring out doors with quite a bit of caution but joy as well. I have one of those vicks deals and have used it, although, in all likely hood, incorrectly.

Man if I had a basement, I would have a 2500 a month electric bill.

Yes! I was only talking about roots coming out of the cloninator. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.
Thanks MoN! Those are about the only things beelooming at the moment so they're getting all the attention.
If it was raining in the tent, then probably.
I'd have a pool table.
It totally was clear to me! That’s why I asked if there’d been any other difference that you noticed that might account for the different roots

Oh, that was "As" at the beginning of your sentence. Makes more sense now!It totally was clear to me! That’s why I asked if there’d been any other difference that you noticed that might account for the different roots
You've mentioned this several times... you can help me dial mine in when it comes time
Probably before the weekend is over once I let prime do it's thang.

I've never grown in a tent, but I have used a Vicks Vaporizer and know they put out pure steam at 212ºF. They take a while to warm up, so they don't start raising the RH immediately like a cool mist humidifier, but I'm sure the walls will start dripping in short order. So don't set and forget the first few times you use it, check the meters. And don't point it at your plants!
Well now you scared the crap outta me! I don't need a Homer in my tent
I'll figure it out I'm sure. That's exactly how I would do it. Run it for an hour to see how fast it ramps up the RH and work up or down from there.
