Well after taking the summer off and the stash slowing getting smaller. I cracked some beans.

2x Atomic Sherbert
1x Sour diesel
1x Rolex OG

10 days out of the ground ( the Sour D is 6 days… fill in seed after a Rolex og didnt Germ)

Gonna transplant to 5gal fabric when I leave for Xmas. Then flip them New Year’s Day I’m thinking.

A silly amount of cobs dimmed down and a SolarCure bulb for when I flip.
Tents running 82F and 60%RH plants look happy.

What do you all have on the go for winter?

Hello OP or others. Have you grown with this set up before? That is --the same grown tent size (looks like 36/36/72) with four 5gal pots. That humidifier in the middle like that- does it cause any issues with the grow? As in taking up too much space. Interfere with the plants at all?

I am running the same equipment(tent, pots) and am about buy the same humidifier. It is very dry in my state(Southwest) so I willl likely need the humidifier during Flower phase as well.

You won't want a humidifier in the tent even in the southwest during flower. Humidify for veg no problem. But no in flower. And I'm a native desert rat.

I am in a very dry SW climate like yours. I had 3 - 5gal fabric pots in my 3x3x6 and the humidity from those was so great that I had to often leave my tent open at times to help bleed off some of that humidity. There was no humidifier in the tent (just a tower fan and 2 upper circ fans) I was mainlining 3 blueberry so I had less plant/leaf mass, I imagine full plants would produce much more humidity to deal with.

I have found 3 plants in 3gal pots in the 3x3x6 tent is much more manageable. After watering and at lights off, it peaks at 50-55% and I still have no need to place a humidifier inside.

The humidifier takes up space. For sure. I’ve actually found having it in the room the tent is in is more effective. With any wick type humidifier you need to use good water. When I was using my 300ppm well water I would go trough 2 wicks a grow. On RO water I get almost 1.5 grows per wick.
I set it too 65%rh I get 50-55% RH in the tent. And run that the whole way. Plants definitely do better with good humidity levels.

Thanks Bongula, I have PM'd HOTRODHARLEY for a lil more info. I have only run one indoor grow (went terribly this past hot summer) but I have some outdoor experience up north. What do you do during veg for humidity? My humidity for the past 3 weeks with Lights-on has been at 16% (35% lights off)- VISAJOE recommended I raise my lights (LEC 315W) and in just two days I have improved Lights-On humidity to 25%. Any advice for humidity during veg? I've only done one watering since re-potting to 5gallon last week.

In that grow scenario, do you leave your water runoff in the tent? That would improve some humidity but I have seen some recommendations on here to water 1 gallon into 5gallon pots that would leave a lot and I plan to follow that during this flower period which I will start on dec 31.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. I'm moving to flower soon so I may not have an immediate need for a humidifier but in the future I will use this one.

I don't have to do anything for humidity during veg....the fabric pots take care of that. During lights on (HLG 300l rspec) 83-85° it maintains humidity in the 40-50% range and slowly drops to the 30s....I water again when it reaches the low 30s. In 3gal pots using now, about 3/4 a gallon watered in slowly and what little runoff is there is pulled back into the pot within 45min. I am using soil and dry amendments.

Interesting. I don’t notice any more humidity with fabric pots.

Wow, those look great. Nice nodal development.

Comparably, mine look terrible-3 of these plants I planted on the same day as you. Then a fourth I planted 9 days later. I did have a problem overwatering one, and under watering two more as a reaction.

I have some outdoor grow experience--this is my second indoor grow. Reason I mention that is that I pluck fan leaves off from time to time. Maybe that interferes with my grow. Are yours in flower or still veg?

Here are mine today. I'm embarrassed.

Yes I’m still in veg. Just finished potting them up to 3gal fabric pots. I’ll flip to flower on the 1st.

did you plant them in those pots from seed? If so, I find starting in small containers work best for getting that wet/dry cycle.
These plants were in .5gal from seed.
Some times I’ll do Solo cups to start. But only go 2 weeks then transplant.

I had roots poking out the holes in the .5gal in 16days.

oh yeah and I’ll pluck leaves a bit when the flower stretch is almost done.

Hey Bookush34,

I started these in small terra cotta pots. I was advised it may be wiser to use Solo Cups. I chose Terra Cottas because I thought it would keep my plants cooler(material is slow to warm). During my first grow this summer, I did not use my ventilation system and the grow area temp's were 95F to 102F. Yikes. I have since corrected the temperature situation, but not the humidity situation.

Yes, I started from seed- started on Nov19th, planted Nov 21st. 3 of them-one is 9 days younger.

I'm going to flower these on Dec 31s. My strains are two Jack Herrer (all time fav) and two Bubba Tonic. I LST'd one BT (first time) and it is the best out of all my plants. I have personally stripped plants down to nothing on Recreational farms that I worked out up in Norcal--they exploded in two weeks time(hard to say what phase). And on these farms (one thousand plus plants) we are always pruning the lower and inner branches throughout flower. That's why I was so comfortable stripping leaves.

Ill keep in touch.
