I never realised you were growing hydro mindmelted... the results are certainly there to be seen as per your pics - i never knew one plant could get so freakin huge!! Yeah im a 1st timer with HPS and im growing in soil... just want the big buds like everyone else

What humidity should i be aiming for in my flowering room... i am in week 6 of flowering at the moment.

Best range IMO is 35-45%

Higher and you risk getting moldy buds....:-(

Have you tried just blowing the air around the room? I can keep my door cracked so that helps. Still a good solution you have there. I would have never known that existed but it does make sense for a wet basement.

Yeah for some reason my 545 cfm fan will only get the rh down to 48% with out the damp rid......:wall:

Wow this makes me feel bad for you guys, I have a problem raising my RH. I have 2 humidifiers, and even sometimes then the damn hygrometer reads "LO" lol.

I'll be moving to a more humid area soon.... damn it.... Guess I better save up for some Damp Rid and a dehumidifier :wall: lol.

So if you have a dehumidifier do you still need to use the Damp Rid Mind?

Definitely want to know ;-) lol.

I cant get damprid here but ive ordered something similar until i can afford a decent dehumidifier... its basically like a little sponge that takes dampness out of the air so im hoping that will help lower my humidity levels... i have 3 weeks left of flowering so im hoping to get it as low as i possibly can - wouldnt want anything to happen to them considering the time/expense/love that has gone into growing them.

Just keep a eye on them and have good air-circulation and you should be fine.
A smoke report would be nice when cured....:bigjoint:

Mindmelted... on the subject of adding fluoros to your grow as well as the hps - what fluoros are best to add? I know you can get red spectrum ones and ones that are better in the blue spectrum - what ones do you use?

I used to use cfls to grow and i have a large 150w red spectrum bulb complete with reflector which ive chucked in to the growroom (basically just balanced on some pots facing upwards) for some extra light in there. Ideally id like to hang some down either side of the hps as you have done in the picture of your applejack.

What wattage/type of bulb/amount is best to use - thanks.

Thanks mind melted. I went to green house's videos on youtube and they said to chec ph from run off. Under 4.0 (i have the droppers) i thought about cutting them all down but i cant bring myself to do it. whats the best way to raise my ph in soil? and my friend said it might be a bacteria manufactured into american sold soil. Ever heard of this?

Just Picked up a 250 watt hydrofarm convertible and i'm excited about my new grow... I got 3 Blue Cheese Clones Comming Tommorow and I Preped the Grow Closet.. My Closet is 4ft.x2 1/2 and 6 1/2 feet tall.. But my supplemental grow area will be 2x2...I will be doing lst and i will be using BC Nutes(Grow,Boost,Bloom)..
Temps are good i did a test run with the light and stayed consistantly around 78-79 and i have good air-flow with an oascillating fan..my question i guess i am asking is how much of a yield do you think i could get with the 3 ladies under a 250 watt hps with lst..this is my 3rd grow and the last 2 were under cfl's and they were bagseed..think i could get 3oz??
