It's just a bucket with a stick, that i put a towel on. I believe the lack of air in or out of the tent is how the humidity gets so damn high. I guess it's a choice between air/light leakage and consistent humidity/heat.

Everything that I have read has said it's best to have air circulating through your plants so carbon dioxide gets replenished.

I upgraded the light for my girls in the veg tent. Woot

Now that I know that I can do it, I can build my double array.

What i've found in Hydro( probably applies to all) is that when my plants are drinking( 1 gal. per day) they also transpire(sweat) have found small droplets on leaves and RH goes way up- might avg. 35-50 perc. normally then hit 70 per. over 2 days and avg. Rh in my basement is 35-40- so fans and intake mean little- I have had to add a small ceramic heater in my tent here and there when temps. got to low and Rh would go up.

Finally got around to plant management- Water( 1 gal. per 4 buckets, take 3 tokes, letting airstones mix ph water, take sample, test PPM and Ph, draw 1/2 gal.,Mix nutes,addback(times 4),get trimmers, give girls haircut, pinch grow tops, Aggravate & piss off in general; just don't put into shock. Then look at pile of branches with popcorn that I just piled on top of a box, and start strippinginto edibles trim box( now have 4 that are 10 by 12") Cab anyone say"COOKIE MONSTER" or perhaps some olive oil infused marinara sauce( the more you eat, the more you want to eat)

I wasted nothing from this grow and probably could have had another 2 oz. of popcorn buds if I hadn't got burned out on trimming. But saved all trim and popcorn and could probably make a 4 ft. by 6 ft. stick of Cannabutter. YEEHAW! Ok, Ok or 400 doz. Toll House Cookies, or Pistachio Muffins for St. Paddies made with green butter(green on green)

Question came up about how I've found growing Blue Widow so far (just started week 7). For painfully complete details I will refer you to https://growdiaries.com/diaries/994-dinafem-blue-widow-1st-grow, but for a quick overview
They are slow growers in early veg. I've been careful about giving them too much of anything because Dinafem posts that they are light feeders and I'm growing in a mixture of Happy Frog and a super soil (Coast of Maine Stonington's Blend).
I've been using a very light mix of Botanicare products and other than the fact it's taken this long to get enough post topping growth to start LST (which will happen tonight with any luck), they are healthy, vibrant, compact plants under the Quantum boards in 3 gal pots at this point..
I'm guessing at least another 2 weeks in veg before I want to flip for stretch and scrog ... but this is uncharted territory and it seems no one wanted to really document early veg progress on these ... just the sexy bud porn ... so I'm kind of on my own.
I guess I need to finally order my flower tent and start putting everything together ... 2 weeks goes pretty fast when you've got too many projects going at the same time.

They look great, Bos- Give them some upward growth before LST /or Scrog- they are brittle when that short; need some ht. and lengh before twisting they're arms( found out after snapping 3 branches 1st try- was able to prop/ wire 2 back up to become major limbs. They're going slow, but still in Toddler stage- If fed right and watered, They will EXPLODE.& food looks right( green & lush) Are you on 18/6 ? Don't buy into 24/0 or 20/4- they need the dark period to convert food= growth.Are you running COBs? Can't remember- Get a Lumin Meter at Amazon and shoot for 45,000- 60,000 Lumens over canopy( if lower, drop lights til right) LIGHT is the BIGGEST influence in all we do- they are still weeds and very forgiving in all other areas

Running quantum boards 5000K at 26" for about 40,000 lux. Trying to promote some stretch so I've avoided making it stronger.

I set my new cobs at 60k lux/5k fc for the top of the canopy. I may have to back off a little since they are very close but I am far into flowering.

I need some great seeds. The bank I used before now has up to A 6 week delay on shipping. Of the other two sites that I found that ship to the US, neither one takes credit cards. Can anyone suggest a fast shipping, good selection site that takes cc or payal?
