How can I lower my humidity!?
Ever since I put the other wall fan up my humidity has been stuck on 70... I cant seem to lower it, even by turning up my inline fan to 90%...
My temp is optimal at 72 all day and a lil lower at night. Ill have some pics up at 6pm when lights turn on.

A few of her bottom leaves have a little yellow spotting and fading at the tips.
Its only on the oldest leaves in the undergrowth. What could it be?
She seems pretty healthy other than that. Could it be the humidity?
Right now shes about 6 inches from the scrog and 15 inches from the light.
Ive been feeding her a gallon of water every 3 days steadily. Recently started feeding b-52 as well.
Could I start including molasses in my feeding? Haven't heard of any benefits of it in veg.
All her tops seem lush green and healthy.

Looking really good! Glad the transplant went well...
Molasses is beneficial in veg but is more important in flower. Be careful though it can be overdone. It helps the microbes multiply to help break down the nutes but if too much molasses is added or too often the microbes will feed on the molasses rather than turning their attention to breaking down the organic matter in the soil.
I didn't add any in veg but am adding it every 3 weeks or so in flower.

Thanks, ill guess ill stick with straight b52 in veg.
Any idea what could be causing my humidity problem? 70 seems way too high.

I had a humidity problem early in flower it was hovering at 58-70% for a while. I then realized that it was due to the outside ambient humidity being at 60%. Since then the outside humidity has dropped to 30ish and my tent has been 25-40%. I believe a low pressure zone in your area will cause humidity to rise (especially if it has been raining lately). Where I am I think a low pressure zone is going to be coming in in a week or so... fingers crossed it isn't a problem.
Given where you are I think your ambient humidity probably fluctuates more often than mine, I would wait to see what happens when a high pressure weather system moves in. A dehumidifier is the only reliable way to address it directly.

Any idea what deficiency this could be? Cal, mag?
These are the oldest leaves on the plant everything else is looking good and green.
I just dont want this to spread to other leaves. Need to stop the prob now!

Strong stem with nodes reaching for light!
Finally poked through net too
I hope this calcium def fixes soon, this was only on one of the top leaves.
Few days later I slid her right back under the net, looking good so far?
Temp 69 Humidity 50%
Finally on point. I have to keep room door closed and tent closed with one vent open... I guess.

After I weave her under the screen she pokes right back up the next day! Its so fun scrogging...
Should I be defoliating the bottom every week or so? Im definitely going to pull all the under growth when my screen starts filling up!
Thanks riu! Anyone feel free to chime in with tips or criticism.

Im getting ready to flip to 12/12 because im running out of space in the tent. I know theyre going to stretch for 2 weeks after I flip the lights so im putting that in perception.
Anyone else thing I should flip lights???
Ive been defoliating alot every few days to clear out under scrog where no light reaches.
Got a nice juicer for Christmas too

Happy new years RIU! Back from a lil vacation and have a nice update for you all.
Got my days confused a few posts back, im actually just starting week 8 of veg since seed popped.
After scrogging tonight,
I dont think i can veg too much longer because im running out of space..
This might be the last time I weave her but im not sure... She did show sex though! 818 IS A Female
When do you think i should flip lights?

I would say you are definitely due to switch the lights, most people flip when about 75% of the scrog is filled up to allow for the stretch. Awesome job on the plants too! Its nice to see someone with all the proper equipment and preperation, it really shows. Nothing against ghetto grows but I really like well planned out set ups. I wish i had planned mine out as well lol but when I do ever get back to growing I'm definitely upgrading the ventilation and lighting systems in my room.
Also to answer a question from a few pages back, if your ballast is a lumatek then the sl250 and sl400 means super lumens, basically it just gives a 10% boost to your lighting. I have it on my ballast but I never use it. Seems like its just putting extra watts into your bulb which makes me think it would shorten the life of it

Thanks alot man. Makes me feel great about my grow. Im very blessed to have such a killer first grow. Im just trying to provide the most optimal conditions for my space.
All of the reading and videos ive watched is finally doing me some justice. I figured if im not going to do it right, dont do it at all.
Im going to invest in another tent very soon also! I need a place to put cutting and veg plants. Would love to get a perpetual harvest going!
Any ideas out there?
Peace!
