I have listened to few of those, I always find that his question style doesn't leave a lot of room for the guest to explain in detail, and more that he makes a statement and they agree with it most of the time. Like as if he knows the topic more than the guest almost everytime. Ofcourse they are not going to disagree when its a loaded question, they don't want to be rude. Just something that Ive noticed that bugs me a bit, as sometimes the guests don't go into exact detail and "proof" as to moreso giving their opinion.
Gonna checka vpd chart brb

But isnt 50-60% Ideal? I have seen some very skilled growers running massive shows at 70-80% in bloom, quoting VPD charts with the golden range as the main goal.

I have refused to get a dehuy, as A) high humidity seems to be the best for this tropical plant AA) its more equipment and spending B) more electricity costs (and an even higher bill overall) C) more noise.

And with legalization looming, these high tech small home scale grows aren't going to be able to be paid for. They already aren't justified for many growers. Thats the most sad thing about legalization, I had dreams of a crazy high tech set up with all the bells and whistles and automation, sensors, lights, perfect dialed in temps etc. But I think that is a thing of the past and is not economical with it being a legal product in the future.

So I will just continue venting my exhaust outside whenever my home humidity goes above 50-60%. I have air recirculating throughout the home to re use that warm clean air.

The trouble with 60% is it's close to the line if you don't have excellent air circulation. I just won't risk that and take that chance. I'd rather be a bit too low that too high. It's a simple preventative practise that works very well. I'm not living on the edge of mold.
I grow many strains and some are more open type plants and some are tighter type plants. I have to err on the side of safety imo...or loose great weed.

Finally close to flipping a few plants into flower. My tent fiasco set me back a few months. My first crop of GSC got slightly pollinated when I was to slow removing some males. There are 2-3 seeds in each bud that are very plump and I think the male was Scott's OG.
So the big plants are CBD with something, the 2 medium ones are from the new seeds I made (I will call them Girl Scott Cookies) and the seedlings are all Rhino Killer TPR pheno #1 x Hickok Haze.

This will be the last grow that finishes in 2018 for me, the 3 small plants are chocolate skunk auto's, the 3 seedlings are 2x girl scout cookie autos and a bubba kush auto. I started the crimson crystal like 7 weeks ago and it is a plant I am just playing with trying different training (tying down in a circle around the pot then topping and fimming the branches), not even sure if it is female since it is just a plant to experiment on.

The auto's however are my plants to increase my supply quickly since my last harvest was not huge (had some issues that lost me plants), I will be trying to reverse the one cookie with CS to pollinate the other and get some more seeds as I only had 2 of them. I may also introduce more plants every few weeks to have steady staggered harvests.
