No but I'd love see that chart myself

I live in a Coastal Desert and have thought about VPD and my need
to add humidity to my grows.
I am an old Trusted Cultivator of Mushrooms too and have all the old
tools for adding humidity.
This might be another useful discussion....as I have previously used
this hygrometer control system:

...but I am thinking that dropping a bit more dough might get me the
proper "controller" that I should be using.
"Controllers" is a chapter unto itself.....how to approach this topic?

I am so ready it's not even funny. Only thing I am even a little worried is having zero experience outdoors except with garden plants and I grow some mean fucking peppers lol.
Seen on instagram doc is already running the hoop house with night lights. That shit is crazy to me...

I believe this is the VPD chart being discussed. The gold/brown ranges are supposed to be ideal. Don't disagree but running RH as high as they suggest could cause all kinds of other issues like bringing on PM/mould...

I run in a humid area, and have to condition the outside air. I don't like to walk into flower room and see anything over 65%, definetly wouldn't want 75%, where it looks like my "ideal" RH is at on the chart when my room is 79F. I know from experience that moisture starts accumulating on leaves at those levels, never had PM(knock on wood) and just seems like conditions are right for it at those levels.

Yup that's the chart. It would take clean clean plants. I'm running in the 60% range now. I bumped it up last night. Going to watch for pm closely. I used neem/karanja/essential oils on them twice along with my sulfur burner twice for over an hour in a 3 day stretch. I'm going to spray and burner again this week. I haven't seen anything on them thus far. I'm out presently, but I also normally add beneficial microbs from OG Biowar and make ACTea with it. I did water some EM-1 about 5 days ago as I have some of that as a temporary replacement.

I'm only keeping the humidity up a week or two to see how much of a difference it makes and does anything show itself. But I've slowly raised the level in my room over the years and as long as I keep my IPM up and don't bring in infected plants I've not been seeing issues in the 50s% so far, trying 60s% now. This'll just be for veg.

I would get a Titan or better myself. I got a little nicer one but the Titan one would have worked fine for my room.

Yeah that's the thing with that chart, my preference is 78-82F so I should be ~65-70% RH but that would kill my grows. My area (outdoor) is terrible for PM, it's everywhere. Summers it's difficult to manage so I run a dehuey lights out, set to 55% which is my maximum. Over time I determined that if I keep under 55%, PM won't show on anything other than the worst PM-prone strains. Over that and it always shows up.

Do exactly what you do with peppers bro, you'll have monster weed plants

I try to keep mine as low as I can. My flower room stays between mid 50's and mid 60's RH. Sometimes it may peak in high 70's. I do have 4 fans in a 5'x6' though. I've yet to have PM, but I've never brought a plant/clone in my garden from anyone else.
I've got a fem Dog going now. Is it from the same stock(BB)?
I will grab a pack of those GG fems you make, shoulda grabbed them last time they were available

Outdoors is fun. You know how to read a plant and grow one. The biggest difference is outdoors you spray everything around your grow with seven and plants if bugs are causing issues. You seen my back yard and the bugs didnt fuck with my plants as I sprayed everything around them every 2 weeks. You gonna love outdoors big time.
You mean its fire or you killed it?

I've had PM from being given infected stuff earlier in my quest for growing knowledge. After that initial issue I've been far more proactive in active prevention. I was running in the 40's after that but have been raising it over time. Will still be in 50's after a few weeks of flower and 40's at end. Just trying upping for better vdp and some explosive veg growth hopefully. Always tinkering and learning lol
