I rejuvenated this pathetic little plant found on the side of the road, and it's gone from a sickly little twig to a bright little guy. I just finished building a box for him, up until then he had just been sitting in my closet under a CFL. It was around 22-23 Celsius (72 - 73F) with an average humidity of 41-50%. Now that I put it in my box, humidity is down to 30%, and temperatures are around 26C (78F), even with an inlet and exhaust fan.

Is it normal for temperatures and humidity to change so drastically like that?

Before:


After:

yep, especially when switching environments (closet to box)

the humidity is fine for now, and i'm too tired to remember the conversions. what is the temps in farenheight?

Good to know. I was worried about such a drastic dip. The temps have gone from 72 - 73F to 78 - 80F. I heard that plants like the extra heat, so if I've read correctly, this should be ok.

One other little thing - does it matter if the plant doesn't display symmetry?

80f is acceptable, but not ideal. a stronger exhaust should bring it down a few degrees. symetry in plants is unheard of; if you look close, there is nothing that perfectly matches. but, i'm not sure what you mean by that. pix would be great.

bad luck to call it a guy

what kind of lighting?

Yea, if I assume correctly, you've got the plant under one CFL, prolly a 42 watt at most. The temps are optimal, but the light is not. Much more light is needed to flower the plant, assuming it's female. Around 50watts per square foot is great for an HID, for CFL's 75 watts is the least per square foot IMO.

The plant will be fine for a week or two, but much longer and more lumens/watts will be needed for a happy plant.

P.S.- As I said before, the temps humidity are fine at the moment, but if you get a bigger light in there, the temps and RH(relative humidity) will change.
