You are correct! There is not medicinal value in smoking any vegetative leaves as they have not developed trichomes yet.

Healthy run... I try and run a couple miles a few times a week and on the weekend I do 3-5 with Sunday being my longest.

Whew, you wore me out just talking like that. I thankfully have a really high metabolism still, so I ain't gotta worry yet.

31 Aug 14, Sunday, Day 44, Week 7, Day 2
Evening....
Air=79
RH=99
PH=5.7
PPM=1138
Res Temp=79
So I tried something different today...
Still fighting low RM. It normally sits around 40-50%.
Sooo.....At lights out I turned all the fans off. Exhaust automatically goes off when the lights do but I also turned off the intact fans and the circulating fan.
I wanted to see what would happen when I turned the mister up high during the 6 hour lights out. Well the RM hit 99%...LOL. Air was 79. There was moisture over everything.
So, is there a causal effect? Is there any benefit to higher RM during lights out?
Tomorrow I will repeat except turn on only 1 of the 2 intake fans and see what I get.
I turned the fans back on when the lights came back on and within 30 mins the moisture was gone and the RM settled back down to 53 with the air at 82.
L/R 1 & 2 were pinched at the mains and pulled below all other growth in an attempt to stunt their growth. Not sure if it was successful or not. They are really trying to turn that corner over the wires.

I don't think there are any advantages or disadvantages with increased RH at lights off. Mine always goes up at lights off due to everything being on the same timer & no magic has ever happened. If you want to increase it during lights on have some wet towels & jars of water around, that's what I do

Update on the Spider COB.....
Yesterday's trimming and training....
Compared to only a day later.....
I can already clearly see L/R 11 and 12 shoots coming. They will be here by Tuesday's trimming.
If all goes as good as it is we are getting 4-6 new side shoots a week to train.
Yea, 2 months of training is all this gurl is going to get. I have to begin to stall all the earlier growth so the newest get a chance to develop but we are on track to going vertical around the 15th.

She ABSOLUTELY loves the light....
Thanks MM....
Looking forward to Tuesday's trim and training. Wish I could leave her alone....LOL. This is the only part about being home on the weekends I hate...LOL. I spend a lot of time checking in on her.
Except for lights out...I let her get her beauty rest.
At least I don't train every other day like I use to....LOL.

Skunny,
I tried that in my last grow and it really didn't help. Which is why I went out and ordered the humidifier. It brought my RM up to about 60ish....
But hey nothing ventured, nothing gained or lost at this point so lets give it a try.
Placed a 10oz cup of water on top of res.
The difference between last grow and this one....the Spider and it's higher temps then my last LED.
Which in theory a cup of water should help....higher temps...we'll see.

Girl is getting big. They sure do bush up fast in a flux don't they. Mine was the same way but less heads to trim.

Renegade, try a wet towel or some face cloths if you have any if the bowl doesn't raise it enough for you. With more surface area they do increase the humidity much more than bowls
Your flux is loving the COB light mate, a great advertisement to potential spider buyers

Good morning flux-a-manics.....
Thank you Skunny and Celt for the kind words.
I'm going to try the towel method next. The water didn't really help much.
As far as the Spider....
I'm waiting on 2 more milesstones, 1 being the bloom stage with this flux and the other being the next grow.
The next grow will be the community BID grow. I haven't tried my hand at a SCROG and my plan is to SCROG 3 purple's. 2 of BID's favorites and a purple I picked for myself.
That should be another test on how good the Spider is. A nice carpet across a SCROG with deep penetration from the light.
Here's the readings this morning....
01 Sep 14, Monday, Day 45, Week 7, Day 3
Morning....
Air=86
RH=44
PH=5.6
PPM=1138
Res Temp=80
Added 2ml of UP....
