Wilting leaves as temps drop 2 efficient zone?

How you control your RH level? Does your swamp cooler have an RH sensor, or does a certain setting hit the mark you like? I'm thinking I wouldn't might a slight bump in RH, especially this time of year, and weather I go with a humidifier or a misting system, i'll want it auto fill and settable. Hell I just dropped almost 200 on blumats so i don't have to water all the plants NV is letting me grow now, i don't want to be watering a machine either, haha. for $30 i'm thinking this might be useful.

It has a timer and 3 fan speed settings. My hygrometer tells me the exact RH level in my tent, U can't see it in the setup pic its hidden by 1 of the plants

IMO, the extra light is beyond overkill..look at it this way, u should be gettin atleast .5 GPW off that 1k (around a pound dry)... And that's on the low end of efficiency for a 1k, I think best iv done is .7ish GPW, I hear people Pullin 1GPW, but I'm jus not hat good yet

The main purpose of the addition of the CFLs is 2 add the 6500k spectrum 2 the bloom cycle. I'm also familiar with the yeild 2 watt ratio. I was able 2 add this light spectrum efficiently without increasing my temps much. The yeild increase would be a bonus because correct me if I'm wrong but my usable lumens mean better productions as long as the other variables are not in conflict?

.62GPW in the houuuse!
I'll be interested to see what my own recent bump in wattage, coupled with going organic subcool soil does to my GPW and overall yield.

I love the idea of adding blue to flowering cycle. I'm reading more and more what it does for our plant of choice, UV light too. I veg under 440w of 6500K, homemade LED arrays geared toward veg with ample blue LEDs, and I've even got a 400w MH in there. #tightnodes
I want to move my plants to the new 2400w flower room but I won't till the blue bulbs arrive.

Keep it green!

If there is already more Light than the plant needs(or can use), than how can more light help? Thats my thought process, but I been drinking, so there is a better than good chance I'm wrong

What math puts you at 'more light than the plant can use'? I'm sure its an achievable scenario, just don't hear too many talking about too much light if temps are in check. Being an LED nut, I can attest to the immense power of multiple light sources. Even if the 1000w was max for the grow area, I would wonder its single light source position gave every plant all the light they can handle.

Fuck it, I suck at math, put 2k in that bitch, growzilla hoods all day

Thanks for the advice @Bublonichronic I understand that there is a point of diminishing returns for light. The added 6500k spectrum is what is most important 2 me. T.H.C is believed through study 2 be a defense mechanism for UV rays and other stresses of the plants natural environment. The 6500k spectrum is said to contain beneficial levels of the specific UV ray that triggers this response.
