:D I'm a little confused but my humidifier has an Off, low, high on a knob . :D Will it work? I'll get an O2 controller tomorrow if that will help my case considerably.

if it stays on when you unplug it and plug it back in its cool. does the machine stay "on" when its plugged in then unplugged then plugged back in.. the controler will be cutting off the power then turning it back on. hard to explain...get it

Ya it stays on
but I think i've came to the conclusion the machine is a POS.

I put my temp/humidity guage directly in front of where the cold air comes out and it only raised it to about 40%. Once I moved it away from the humidifier it went back to about 33%.

OH YA, thats with the EXHAUST off.

Im trying to eliminate anything I can...should I take this POS back and get a different one?

i think i may be onto something here....

I read my humidity gauge and it said "Relative humidity"... I began to wonder how "relative" it really is.

I went to weather.com and it said my humidity is 60% in my town @ 38 degrees F.

So, I decided to stick my meter outside. Says my humidity is @ 31%...

So,... think its my meter? I sure hope so!

sounds like a bad meter!!! man why didnt i think of that!! fill kitchen sink with hot water so its steamy put a towel over the sink stick the meter under the towel you should get 80-100% hum. also my meter has a remote sensor for temp but the unit it self reads the humid. so the unit needs to be under the towel..

:clap: I put my gauge under the towel with steamy ass water in a big bowl. Beach towel over the top so no steam could escape.

MAX Humidity was 49% :clap:'

Time to return the humidifier (or keep it for the house) and get a new gauge.

Better a broken gauge then a broken growroom :hump:

Thanks for the great idea

ok awesome wel I'll keep that in mind..styrofoam to come.. Until then I need to find ways to increase the humidity. :(

Just pick up a humidifier, those will work 100% great in your situation. I have so many of those laying around the house from when I was a kid lmao.

Mine was like ten bux at walmart.. They have a bunch
GL with the grow. I've got 6 OG Kush going right now w/ 4 unknown strains and I'm thinking we're going to love our smoke. I wasn't sure that the OG was the real deal until I saw your plants...yup, same shit.

I'll definitely be following this one.

Any pics of yours? :D Do yours smell like OG? Mine do :X
Mine are just little babies right now. I'll try to grab some pics tonight. I picked them up as clones from the dispensary and they are just now finally starting to take off again. I had to top them due to some stretching and I've had a multitude of problems with this grow already. It's been frustrating, but it's only been a week and half so I got this sorted out pretty quickly.

Yours look great though. I'm probably only going to veg mine for another 5-7 days. I have 10 of them and only 1 400w light so I don't really need to waste a lot of time vegging only to waste the space later.

U can buy a humidifier with a sensor on it it will only add as much as u have set and only add when it falls below selected level. Kind of like furnace but with water

the BIG BLOOM is oragnic and provies healthy root growth. On the Fox Farm feeding chart it said begin big bloom on seedlings OR cuttings @ week 1.

It said to wait until week 2/3 for the Grow Big but I just gave it TINY TINY TINY doseage of grow big.

use nutes on seedlings and see what happenes ;) Remember the OGxSD??

organic shmramic!

the OGxSD wasn't in soil when it was given nutrients. Who knows what those idiots did to that thing.

Its a shame thats for sure. :spew:

I hope my girls react alright im sure they will.
