I've asked this a few time and it keeps getting worse. Should I move the lights back some? Could it be the fact that my humidity doesn't go much past 20%? Can I grow good buds with a habitually low humidity? I think a lot of the humidity is leaving the room because I open the window but if I close the window it gets balls hot in the room it's a catch 22. If anyone could help with any of this that would be great!

maybe the old wet towel trick will work....you will have to wet it almost everyday though. This seems to be working for me and I have really dry heat, or if your rich you could buy a humidor.... ;)

ya, my sponge cups got mine up to 40, but if i dont fill them everyday it drops to 30...
Its very hard to keep humidity up when your house is heated with a forced air furnace.
It just makes everything soo dry.
Your plants are looking good, more and more leaves are going to start. I love looking at my plants everyday.

Is it ok if I use ph up and fuck it up and then use down and fuck it up and then use up and get it right to water my plants with that?

I have been spraying mist from a bottle up towards the ceiling and on the Mylar (a good amount) and its taking it from 20% to 45% with lights on and 55% with them off.. And I only do it once a day. My cab is about the same size as yours.

I think it's heat stress that is making them curl... Sad face! Now I need to work out how to keep it even cooler in there!

Do you have a fan blowing directly on them, if not do it because what your doing is is cooling the canopy immediately as soon as the heat touches, now the ambient temp may be hotter, but the actual canopy itself is cool thats why they say put it as close as you can without burning them, now blowing the wind on the light can help but If your not working with a multi fan setup having the fan aimed only at the canopy will work, and with having the wind directly on top of them I only worry about the plant reaching for the light because of how close I have the lights, even though there are areas in the cab where it gets warm the canopy stays very cool with the wind I can hold my hand there all day, the plant will adapt to the wind if it seems to much for the plant even on low it will get stronger, which is good for the plants, hell with all the wind I give to my ladies, I'm sure they are Ripped.:leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

Well that fucks my theory up a lot. I've had a fan on them forever. I guess it could be a calmag defitiancy since I'm using purified water. Gha I want their edges to stop curling... Wtf?!? I'll put up more pictures. It's getting worse and its all of them.

Pulled the lights back some yesterday... I just gave them some Calmag+ so we shall see if that fixed it. That shit really fucks up the ph of your water!
