Made one of these. Bottle,hair tie,sock and h2o. Brought rh up 5% in 20 minutes. Sitting in front of a fan. 2 large holes cut out of the bottle.

Rh 36%, temp 77f. Cleaned up the worst of the leaves. Gave them all a feeding. I gave the middle girl a bit less, she doesn't need it as much.

From now on I may keep my plant count down. I think two decent size plants would do better in my tent. It would give me room for a humidifier. I may need to elevate the plants or get a heater for the winter. The floors get chilly.
 
Yeah, I thought raising them and adding another fan would work. I could also get a few 2x2 foam panels under the floor tray.
 
No new obvious damage this morning. Things look a little greener. I think they are slowing down as far as stretching goes. They are 24 days since I flipped them.

I did turn the lighting down a bit when I saw a problem. I thought it would be easier for them to recover.

Humidity is 45% and temp is 74f. I think that they were really struggling with the low rh coupled with low npk. Stomata were probably closed. I really need to keep a close eye on them to make sure that I didn't over compensate in the nute dept. I am at just over half strength.

I just need to be careful. I have bronchitis and my son has walking pneumonia. Been awhile since I had any real sleep. I don't want to confuse the Tbsp with the tps.

It's all good.... until the auditory hallucinations kick in. LOl!

Lord, help me.
 
I'd LOVE 47% Rh...lol

Don't stress Hun, perfect is what you see not what you want to see

I'd turn the lights back up, they are tuff critters, keep the nutes down and don't push em

The "problem" with these qbs is that you can see every little blemish. A problem I didn't have with my blurple light.lol.

I'll turn the light back up tomorrow or next day.;)

Perfection is not attainable dear...lol

Just back off nutes, crank those lights , be happy yer room is like it is, those lights are fantastic, let em strut

Mine is still hitting mid to upper 80s and max Rh is 40, and it's almost NOVEMBER....lol
Ooo need ta pull out the humidifier, maybe get it to 42%:rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
I had a quick question, if you would indulge me? What would be your order of importance for these items.


1. Ph up and down kit....right now I'm using dolomite lime and vinegar to ph.
2. Blooming enhancer....I am just using Fox farms trio.
3. Cal mag.....I use molasses and epsom. I have added dolomite recently. I use tap water. I don't know tds of source water. My town is on a limestone aquifer. My starting ph is 8.2 last I checked.
4.ph meter...I am using a very good liquid test kit.
5. Tds meter....clueless.... Half the people say I absolutely need it. Half say I don't ever need it.
6. Speed controller for my tent fan.

I only use my TD meter in DWC to check if it's getting drunk by the babies

pH meter is a Must

Up/dn is nice, but if yer just using a little, well, I went over a year without it

Calmag can be very important for sure

Bloom enhncer like Koolbloom or Terpinator are nice, Terpinator is a game changer but spendy. I've used the FF trio and seemed to work well so I'd ride those out till u decided to switch nutes
 
I really don't understand the importance of td,ppm, ec

My 1000ppm is way different than yers unless we use exactly the same water and nutes
I've always gone by nute amounts to get my needed dosage

I understand peeps say "sweet spot is 1.3ec" but getting there is definitely different for every grower based on amounts u use

But, that's me...lol
 
Ok, thanks for the input. I've been looking at the blue lab ph pen. Spendy though. Any you suggest?
 
I have 3 cheeper ones, one is toast..lol

I'll calibrate both, then use em as needed, if one gets outs wack over the other, I'll re calibrate them, but that's maybe every couple months

Two cheepies are $20, the blue and others are like $100, not sure I'd buy one and I can afford it...lol
