Humidity question ?

I think I’m having a humidity problem as the pic says is 50% humidity to much ?. as you can tell by the pics they look very wilted they’ve been on general organics mixed as it says I’ve been watering 1 quart between the three of them there in 4 gallon smart pots so I know it not an overwatering problem. Also I’m highly suspicious of my well I was using well water until last week now I’ve switch to Poland spring ( my wife doesn’t drink 10 gallons of water in 2 weeks so I found a good use for it). So maybe hardwater idk. And last but not least I did take them as clones from a plant in week 1 of flower not sure if it affects them. There under a 400 watt m/h So any input is appreciated thanks

Thats no humidity issue, certainly if RH is 50% range regularly. Tips of leaves are burnt so there are nutes present, but it does appear overwatered. How heavy are the pots? Are they heavy and wet feeling or lighter and dry?
Whats your room temps?

I leave a high humidity during veg. During flower it stays with in 35-40% so I think your good on that front. It looks like it's directly on concrete that can cool the roots bad depending on where you are.

Not sure it’s a smart pot but it’s one of the ones with the cone in it I’ll take a pic of an extra I have as for the over watering I’m pretty sure it’s not overwatered as I watered them yesterday and they were completely dry to the point that the pots were really light and top soil was cracky Also I’ve been dealing with it right out of the clone box so it been a while now I’m starting to wonder if it’s a nitrogen lock out. I’ve grown for many years and am pretty good with the traditional problems this one has me a little stumped.

They have little peg feet to so the pot isn’t touching the ground also it’s not cold here as well and also thank you for the feedback guys

Check the PH of your water. Agree it is some sort of lock out. Stop feeding them.

What's your medium?

I found that if I let them dry out completely dry pockets occur within the soil. Especially since I'm 100% peat based. I water them in the morning and let the pots sit in the runoff and let capillary action draw the water into the pots during the day, then take them out at night.

Just a thought.

Plant Warrior Pot's. I wanted to try them. Using the bottled water, your probably going to need Cal/Mag. Give a pic in normal lighting. If you have the grow experience saving them should be easy.

I'm being very honest with you when I say this... you're going to have a hard time getting those plants to recover enough to stay healthy through a full flowering cycle of 2+ months. I would personally chalk it up as a loss and start over.

If you decide against that, then here's what I'd personally do if I was determined to flower them out.
  • Leach the salts with a heavy water of plain PH'd water. Clear runoff is the goal here. It may take quite a bit of water for 10 gallon pots.
  • After achieving clear runoff, mix up 5 gallons of water & nutrients at 1/4 - 1/2 strength and water in.
  • Nutrients should consist of 50/50 base nutrients and a calmag supplement. 400-600 PPM would be ideal.
  • Immediately after re-feeding the soil, transplant into 20 gallon pots. Ensure you're using high quality soil.
  • Now wait and watch.
Moving forward I would advise watering to achieve runoff every time. It's easy to get pockets in the soil and get salt buildups when you do light waterings with zero runoff. Also ensure you're using a solid water source.
You have a lot of problems going on with those plants. I'm not saying this with rude intentions either, just stating the facts. You'll need to avoid doing what you've been doing to ensure you don't have these problems in the future.

When the rhizosphere is not balanced or healthy it creates lockouts in the plants and that's what I see in your plants. It's not just one thing, it's quite a few symptoms. As soon as those imbalanced are rebalanced, you'll notice healthy growth again. It's definitely going to take some time since those are not young plants.

One last thing, not sure if you've used microbes before but I highly recommend them. I personally use recharge but there are others on the market. You WANT beneficial bacteria and microbes in the soil to help breakdown nutrients and make food more bioavailable for the plant to eat. Microbes significantly help nutrient uptake even when ph levels aren't ideal.

edit: I don't see anything humidity related. FWIW, I personally aim for 50%-70% during veg and 45%-55% during flower.

Humidity looks perfect to me, stop watering them like no more water!!!!!!!!


I just dealt with this myself,


No moreee water till your soil is atleast 1-2 inch from top dry!!!

Or it is under water,

How often do you water
