Regarding the humidity...On my other posts (when I really was having problems with the plants) I noted that my elevation is 4500', and after having a few plants die on me when my humidity was at 60%, I did a little research about elevation. There is not as much oxygen where I live (considered the High Desert), and the air is VERY dry. If my humidity is too high, it basically drowns the plants. They need less as they cannot breathe as well at this elevation.

Regarding taking them outside, I don't think that would be such a great idea, as noted above---risk of pests. Spider mites LOVE it here because it IS so dry. Rather not risk it =) They do get plenty of CO2...we have a high powered circulating fan and the door ajar with a fan in the open window pointing straight in. (about 10' away)

I watered with light nutes last night, and most of the upside down leaves have pretty much corrected themselves. Trying to figure out NOW, how to get the plant to bush out and produce more. Should I really not get the temp any higher than 85? Thanks fellow connoisseurs!!!!
