You might try something like these hanging desiccant strip or packs, but I'm not sure how you'd go about controlling the humidity with the strips. The desiccant packs reduce RH down to 50% but won't absorb below that level...

With having the lights closer there would be less stretching of parts, so maybe that, along with your tent reflectivity, could cause the size difference in your buds.

Hi, According to the Apollo 8 specs. your lighting area should be between 10.2 m2 at 1m and 22.9 m2 at 1.5m. I think they recommend 3x3ft area at 24" above the canopy, at the most, so 2-4 plants might be ideal. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the various training techniques.

Your thinking/reasoning of the higher temps sound like a good explanation for the smaller buds with everything else being the same across the board. I wonder if it could also be due to the size difference in height like since there are more stems and leaves it takes more effort for the taller...

I would also maybe think about heat from the lights possibly 'melting' the plastic sheeting in the area directly below your lights. But the idea sounds plausible otherwise, the trick might be getting the two pressures just right to avoid too much 'ballooning' in either direction.

I'd say height may become an issue with it done horizontally but grows have been done with less space, so almost anything is possible with the right training/pruning. Using the cabinet in a vertical arrangement might just be a perfect solution though for a full grow. You might also try the...

Based on fabric thickness, the Gorilla's are 1680D thick compared to the Secret Jardin's 210D thick material, I'd go with the stronger of the two. Also, I think the Gorilla can hold much more weight, 300 vs. 85lbs, so unless the weight itself is an issue (for portability), Gorillas are of a much...

The white is definitely more reflective, it will just be harder to keep it looking clean...:P

A 630W CMH DE will fill a 5x5 room quite nicely for say 4-10 plants, there is also a pretty sweet 600W Ceramic HPS fixture from Eye Hortilux with a couple lamp temperature options available. You could also go all the way to 750 or even 1000W and switch lamps out as you go/grow. If you're...

From what I've read so far around here regarding trichomes is that it's probably a bit early still, but you should start seeing them as transparent first, so they may difficult to see at first. Each strain will have a different timing for resin production so I wouldn't get discouraged, your...

Your plants are looking very nice to me and it sure sounds like you've earned your 'green leaf' badge :leaf: for getting past any issues as they came up along the way, great job so far!

I am going to agree with @coreywebster. Use the 600w with the fan to vent out, then use the LEDs you currently have for propagation, cloning, and veg. As far as controlling heat with that 600w. Something I've done is run my flower cycle during the coldest parts of the day e.g., from 8pm to...
