Woodsman's Northern Light #5 Grow

Can't quite see enough to be sure if your leaves have sort of a raised appearance between the veins of the leaves on the plant but if they do that's the sign of too low humidity. I do know that for veg you want something over 50% and 60-70% is better. I use a cool mist vaporizer in my veg room. Misting on a regular basis is also good. In a pinch a fan blowing over a bowl of water can help some.

I'll have to check the leaves, but It sure is dry so I wouldn't doubt it. Probably won't be able to put a humidifier in there ($) but I do mist them. How often can I mist them?
 
Not at all. I was thinking more of my tomatoes outside this spring! Also not interested in growing our plants outside but I still want to know in case I'm asked. I also remember using it when I was a kid for some house plants but that didn't last long. I think it was Shultz brand or something like that.

I'm using 1 tablespoon per gallon myself. Of course mine are young.

you should be safe misting pure h2O 4 or so hours before the lights go out and after they come on... you could even add some light micro-nutrients... i am using Schultz African Violet 8-14-9 and they seem to love it.

In veg 3 or 4 times a day is not too much. Make sure you raise the lights when you mist and get the top and the bottom of the leaves.

That I can do. It's like every time I visit the tent! Should I mix a very mild solution of fert with the distilled water?

sorry, didn't see your post!

Very light to start and see how they respond. I use a little superthrive in my mister on occasion but something like 1/2 of a seedling dose 1/8-1/8-1/8th should be ok.

What about the fish emulsion?
 
Hey guys, I really appreciate your input and advise! Thanks. I'll be giving you both reps when I'm able.
 
Today watered with plain distilled water. It's been six days since the last feeding and all except the little one were light and dry four inches down. All the plants are in perfect health and growing nicely!

Hi HK, good to see ya! That's a great suggestion and I will look into cost. I used that on my only other indoor grow back in Cal. in 1990. Only reason I'm using the Alaska fish Emulsion is that we already had some around. I'll try to get some liquid bat guano for veg. Thanks bud!
