Sharing my progress any input would be appreciated!!

[Kashmoney]

This is my first solo venture and I would like to share my progress throughout with everyone and any input people have would be very much appreciated as I am hoping to learn as much as possible and hopefully become a master! I've attached pictures of my ladies, they are only 2 weeks old I got them from week old clones. I have just fimmed yesterday! Does everything seem right??

Looking a bit hot(leaves canoeing up), and potentially overfed(tips yellowing).
What's your temp and humidity in there?

 

[Kashmoney]

Temp ranges between 24.5 and 25.5 depending on weather outside humidity is only 37%...and I overfed them the first couple days but they not been fed any nutrients at the minute, just water for the past week. Gunna put em onto nutes later this week, recently invested in a EC measurement stick so will be sure to keep it EC properly balanced. Was just curious to know whether the fim job went Alright? Or wouldn't I know just yet?

You'll know if you fimmed right in a couple weeks. What is your medium? Where are you reading temperature? Canopy, floor, or? When a plant canoes up like that, it is trying to collect water. Humidity should be around 55% give or take. Feed lightly.

I'm using soil as a grow medium I think the brand is Mills DNA, and the rod of the Thermometer is hanging just off the side of the tent, I'd say closer to the floor than the top. When it comes to water I've been giving them about half a litre a day they are in 15litre pots. How would I increase the humidity without increasing the tempreture?

Increasing temps will drive down humidity if not adding moisture to the space. Try to get your thermometer at canopy level at various spots, 25° c is just fine. If I'm right and it's too hot, bring down the temp, you'll raise the humidity. Also, experiment a bit, let your plant dry out so you can recognize when they need water. Don't make them droop, but once you notice them start to wilt a little, water. This will help you recognize when they want it, teach you not to schedule doil waterings. Timing will change as they grow bigger.

Thank you for your input! I will be sure to experiment with the watering! I've noticed they are needing more water now they are getting older. On a overall tho do you think everything sees okay?

They look too hot. Once you fix the heat/humidity they'll be ok tbh. They're alive, but not happy. I assume you can smell them without touching them?
That's a sign of stress. Check that canopy temp, exhaust from the top, intake from the bottom (heat rises). Never ever believe you've learned enough. ALWAYS question everything, even what I've written. Lots of faulty practices out there.

I have my intake and outake just how you described, and no, no smell yet. Any suggestions on how to bring my tempreture down? If it is too high?

winter months hard to keep humidity up in colder places, cold dry winters are great for temps not for humidity. 25 Celsius is a perfect temp for plants, I try to stay between 76-80F or 24-26.5 C I believe. If you were up in the 28C and up I would say a vented hood would fix things. Slowing down or turning off your exhaust would raise humidity but thats not an ideal solution. Try putting a 1gal bucket of water in there (I'd change it daily to keep it fresh) this will increase humidity once lights are on for sure, or add a humidifier (I don't own one as I'm always trying to take moisture out of the air).

So if my tempreture is as it says now at between 24.5 and 25.5 that's perfect? Would you definitely recommend increasing the humidity? If so by how much? Like I said it's at about 37% right now.

 

[GardenGnome83]

Water jugs work well. I use buckets if I need to, seems to work better. Haven't needed to since I've expanded to full rooms from a tent.

Get it to 50 - 55%

 

[GardenGnome83]

70% is high, 40% is low. Find a happy medium

 

[Grojak]

I tend to run 35-40 in winter and I don't bat an eye, this fluctuates with each watering though so every 2-3 days I'm up to 50 for a day lol. That said I would not follow my process as your new and need to learn the "right way" before you go Gonzo on it.

 

[GardenGnome83]

40 is where problems can start. And 70. Find 55, you'll be ok. If you use co2 you can run higher temps (low rh). Which I assume ^^he does to succeed that low.

 

[Grojak]

Hey at least I admit my way isn't how you should go unlike some morons around here spewing garbage as if it was knowledge.

Really 30% is where you start having plants not sufficiently supplying nutes and water to the plant. I was going to get into some of the issues with the 35-40 range but instead just said don't do as I do You'll find plenty of "experts" will say 40 is fine and dandy. As long as rooms vented right 35-40 will be fine (nope no CO2 tank in my room just intake / outtake I guess that's my CO2 exchange)

The reason I would caution for the low humidity is disease. Low humidity paired with high heat, not good, likewise high humidity plus heat and you'll think it was snowing (powdery mildew). I am unaware of a low humidity mold (that don't seem to make sense)

 

[Kashmoney]

So we all in agreement that a tempreture of 24-26 and a humidity of 50-60 ???

 

[Grojak]

lol yes but for flowering 40-55 is fine so if you're RH is 45 I would not do anything different, consider yourself lucky.

 

[Kashmoney]

Ok thank you both!! I think I am going to try the jug of water method just to increase my humidity that little bit. I will continue to post my progress throughout.
