Upper-upper Midwest basement here … I pissed away lots of $ trying budget ways of keeping my temp up And my humidity down. It just wasn’t happening. In-tent heater or the new ACI one. Exhaust into lung room. Big ass expensive dehumidifier in lung room. Unfortunately, both of them run pretty...

That ph should be okay. Have you ever watered to runoff? It‘s either too much of this or not enough of that , wish it was easier to say “this is what’s wrong” but sometimes it just takes trial and error and repetition. Remember that as a rule, nothing good happens fast. So pick an option (top...

Echo - it’s not the recharge. you should get past that thought. everyone who has grown for awhile has gone through this shit in mid-flower. Your plants aren’t going to die in a week or anything …. Any idea of your ph?

It’s not the recharge. week 5 of flower is about when things get wonky in many cases. i dont grow in “soil” so I’m not much help but it’s an overall nutrient issue imo. Good luck. edit to say I thought growdots were self contained and you weren’t supposed to add additional nutes? So you...

As Star Dog mentioned, set your wet block on top of a dry block. The dry block will wick the water out of the wet block. having said that, you need to water every day in rockwool to draw in fresh oxygen. Otherwise you will suffocate your roots. It may seem counterintuitive, but by not...

Seems like any light with an adjustable spectrum will not work, at least that’s my experience.

This is only pertinent to a very specific set of circumstances that affects an extremely small group of people. It’s not standard social security protocol nor something the vast majority need to be concerned with. Those who worked “outside the system” may be impacted.

Probably both of them are wrong, tbh. Welcome to the world of cheap humidity sensors, and, to a lessor degree, microclimates in your grow. you can buy 3 more and they’ll all read different. Will say though, that a 14% difference is pretty high, but anything under a 10% difference is pretty...

Don’t concentrate on mag, just increase your feed ppm overall. To me …. They just look hungry. Good luck.

I’d personally let it dry back. If you don’t get the roots to expand you’ll be fighting this for awhile. I won’t preach about plant size vs. pot size since you’ve been around the block a bit. Good luck.

Probably.

Your theory will work fine as long as you are in veg. It will lead to increased humidity levels, which again, in veg, is fine. You do need to periodically exhaust/exchange the air though. During flowering, you are going to want to keep it running 24/7, otherwise your humidity will explode...

Yes to your question about lights, (could be other factors at play too) but agree w/ Dan‘s comment above. start over, do it better, and you’ll have bigger, healthier plants in 2 weeks. Good luck.

Theoreticall, yeah. But that 13% error range in the humidity control would be very concerning to me. as I read it, if you set it to. 60% rh, it could actually be anywhere from 65% to 52% and the unit would be functioning as designed. And assuming that vessel to the left is for...

If you have any pet stores nearby, they sell it for aquarium use. Just an fyi alternative if you are in a pinch.
