As I've said twice before, there's not enough air inside a sealed curing container to make a meaningful difference in the readings. It's a lot smaller than your sealed growroom. The absolute humidity in your growroom can't stay the same due to transpiration. It's a fact, not a guess. We've...

I don't add anything to the soil. If I did, it would take the control away from the grower. Not what I'm after. I feed with every watering: Jack's Classic All-Purpose in veg and Blossom Booster in bloom. That's it. No other nutes, no additives with fancy labels, no magic potions. To review...

Your growroom holds a lot more air than a jar. I thought I already explained that. If it still doesn't make sense to you, put one of the suggested hygrometers in a sealed container and note the changes. BTW, the hygrometer doesn't measure the relative humidity. That requires a small calculation...

It's a confined, sealed environment. There's not enough air inside a container to produce a meaningful variance. Simon

I think you misunderstood. I use a medium (ie. soil) with no nutrients in it. The nutrients are added my me. JC fertilizers are powders, not liquids. Simon

I miss OG, as well. It was a different world, and it was also a very different time. Some of the core group still hangs out on IC, but I imagne that a typical RIU member wouldn't feel very comfortable there.

How do you know? Seriously, how do you know? What experience do you have that leads you to such a conclusion in a vacuum? Do you have some plants you can post, so that we can see who we're talking to? FWIW, I'd run 12-16 in that space trained and pruned for no-popcorn. Ed's book didn't teach...

Thank you for the kind words. As a general response to your questions, I don't know the answers, as I grow under a different set of constraints. Let me explain what I mean: Fox far mediums - never used them. I know that some contain nutrients and other don't. Hell, I don't even know if I'm...

Generally speaking, all things being equal, much of it is due to poor dispersion. IME, a plant can be conditioned to sit very close to, say, a 1000HPS. It's definitely doable. Ask me how I know. This act, however, doesn't keep the plant terribly healthy for its entire life. The last couple of...

I don't think I was clear. Of course one can grow well without aircooled hoods. The question then becomes, as you're venting the space, anyway, why not kill two birds with one stone? If you run your fan through an air-cooled reflector - I could suggest one with more detail - and then vent as...

I have to wonder how you can claim the above with so much confidence? Having personalty done the legwork - using every logical permutation available - for over 10+ years and having the documented yields to show for it, it's safe to say that my experience differs greatly. It doesn't. Why is...

I know there are two ways to go about this: You can fuck around and play mad scientist following every braindead suggestion you come across, or you can grow lots of bud. Pick one. Simon

I grow in soil. Pro-Mix, actually, and use Jack's Classic fertilizers excursively. No additives. Here's how my grow goes: Rooted clones are transplanted into 2gal posts and fed from the first watering. I've never measured pH. Never. 3-4 weeks later, as the fertilizer concentration reaches its...

Running a 600 5" above the grow and a 1K 8" above is essentially pointless. You're curtailing the spread of the light, leaving the plants on the sides lacking full intensity, while overstaurating the few plants that get max light intensity. Pointless. One is far better off raising the 600 to...

Obviously, one can LST at any point. The question is, to what end? Generally speaking, LST'ing this early adds time to veg and it adds time to sexing, if applicable. That time may be well-spent, if, say, one is training for a SCROG in a very small space. A larger garden, not so much. Lots of...

Everything being equal, the main factors are light and genetics. If you're growing FMS' or Nirvana's Ice, the genetics are capable of producing such a thing, FMS moreso. Assuming you can concentrate an appropriate degree of light intensity on the plants, the next most dominant factor is pruning...

You may want to try a Caliber and/or a Hydroset/Xikar hygrometers. Very accurate and constant. Good luck. Simon

You should be able to reach your goal, if we're talking 5-6oz (dry) total. The two crucial variables are light and space. As such, if you have only one female at the end, for example, have the plant take up as much space as possible relative to the light intensity. I'd also suggest running 2gal...

Amazing. Our community can create quite the demand for what's essentially a product aimed at a very limited market. Thank you for posting this. I'll be ordering some Caliber IVs, as well. Simon

I didn't explain this well. It's not a multiple tray system. Nothing that complicated. In essence, it's a kief (sifter-type) box, just a lot bigger. I have two. Three, actually, but one isn't as large as the others. FWIW, I started out with a pair of 12x12 boxes that I got on ebay, similar to...
