Hey man, I've been reading through your journal and I must say that you have had amazing results! Beautiful plants I might add, I'm going DWC in a weeks time (hopefully), really looking forward to that explosive growth. Do you use a humidifier of any sorts in there? Does the DWC system raise the humidity in any way? Thanks man and good luck with this grow.

Cheers mate, I'm very pleased with this grow, I'm hoping the yield is what I thought it was. But I'm doubting it slightly.
DWC is fantastic and I'd recommend to anyone. I do struggle with humidity slightly but I have been growing one big plant in a small tent and the ventilation hasn't been perfect. These are things I'm going to sort out for the next grow. I have a bigger tent and will be running 6" ducting passively from a window into the tent and using the carbon filter with 4 inch exhaust to take air away. Also just picked up a fan speed controller for the exhaust, so I can lower the fan speed for veg to try and keep the humidity higher.
What you growing right now?

At the moment I'm growing a Goddess Kali in soil. I stunted the growth for the first month a bit, but I think things are improving now. I have problems with humidity all the time, although I don't really know how much his affects growth, people have different opinions on this matter. Might just get a humidifier and stick it next my my intakes.

Anyway, I'm pulling up a chair for this round of yours, good luck. :D

Here she is, a bit stretchy but looking ok, I'll get her looking good once the roots show and they hit the water!image.jpeg
How's the drying going Stick. Nice to see your young girl has now popped up as well.
Seems to be going well will probably be ready to trim and jar in a few days, its still drying a bit faster than i would like it too, but its hard trying to find the right balance between it drying too quick or the humidity being too high with the chance of it growing mould. I got the r/h down to 50% and it seemed to be drying quick so ive slowed the fan down and it is at a constant 60%.
How are yours doing mate?

I've never had problems in veg even when the R/H is low so I don't worry that much. I think in DWC the plant just grows that fast in veg to even give a fuck about R/H lol
Have you got a jounal going of any pics?

My RH is so bloody low that even my humidity gauge doesn't show the numbers... ;_;
I'm going to get a humidifier tomorrow and crank the RH up to 60% and see if the plant recovers. If it doesn't than I'm going to have to get that DWC ASAP.

Right here mate: https://www.rollitup.org/t/first-ever-wardrobe-grow.883655/

First grow with a HPS. :D

What hygrometer have you got? Can you not go in and mist the grow area now and then with a spray bottle? And I shall have a butchers at your journal once I have the time to sit and read through it mate!

Just a suggestion but if my buds are drying to fast I put into jars early and keep a close eye on things. What's your thoughts ?

Looking good to me mate! Just slight nute burn, but nothing to be worried about, I like to see that cos it just means hold back on the nutes slightly next time! Nothing severe!

Agree 100% mate! I already have 16grams in a jar, and its looking good! This was the loose stuff that I pulled before and some after that I thought was too dry. Depending how things go I might trim the lot and paper bag tomorrow.
I think the bud is too loose from under a 250 and therefor dries too quick, this is my thought right now but lets see how the buds turn out fully dried.
I have a strong feeling that i'll be using a 400w for flower next time though.

Can't wait to trim the bud aswell so I can go ahead and make some hash! Got all the trim from previous grows and bits of trim from shit deals i bought ages ago. I've just sorted out the bud and shake I'm going to use from the Trainwreck, probably an ounce and half. Should get a fair bit of hash from that lot!
