I keep my RH between 50-58 during veg and 40-50 during flowering first month or so then I drop low as I can, one way I control my RH is by trimming my plants, if the room is small and there's a lot of big plants RH becomes an issue to control, unless you buy a big commercial dehumidifier, the regular 70-90 pints Cant keep up without pruning the big fan leaves.

I use Inkbird Pre-wired Humidifier Dehumidifier, it's $35 an works better then the $200-400 hydroponic versions aimed towards marijuana growers, way over priced!! I also use Bayite BTC211 1650W Digital Temperature Controler for the temperature, you can hook up exhaust fan and heater to it, or Portable AC it works great, the calibrations on both devices are off, but you can calibrate and waaalaaaa under $100 u got a fully controlled room!!

Im sure that will work just fine, However I prefer an always on dehue/hue controlled by a room controller. Mod the dehumidifier to drain into the humidifier or res. that is easy and you never need to worry about dumping it. Ill be moving up to a very efficient grow atmosfeer Putting the buckets on tables just high enough to allow for having the res underneath. Total cost for the overhaul including lights and AC thats currently nonexistent.... $10,000. Kinda pumped as well. But thats another thread for another day. :) Im not worried about cost next go round.

Great videos & job on this. Big props!
Real impressed w/ the 4k results. I noticed wicked frost under my 4ks too & big colas.
Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the new room you build. Nice work!

I have some bud shots and I still have to jar everything up to get a final weight. But it's looking good so far!

hi Killer,
Does the COBs smoke better then HPS?
Are u going to put results on utube for side by side?
HPS looked good for awhile but then COBs took over which is the same as Spektum kings side by side.

Still trimming when I can, I have some weights but Ill wait to post them till I have everything all together. I do have some lessons learned to share after this grow and a few other things that I think will help people. I did a hanging Cure for a long time to Ill have cured weight. Till then life goes on.

I'm waiting till I have footage of the room remodel to add narration since I didn't get the trimming footage, camera died lol. I see no reason to rush it IMO a better video is always the better option

It's just dry weight bro. But I hear you. Good luck on your room build!

Thanks man, it wasn't a good yeild, but that's life without AC. It's an all encompassing video it will be worth it and show the future plans while going through them. Currently in the process of starting a new job, college, and normal life stuff.

How can it not be a good yield when using cobs guarantees even a dirty floor grower like yourself an easy 2g / w :lol:

My guess is that The HPS outperformed The LEDs This time... maybe the decades of breeding under HPS-spectrum have caused MJ to utilize, for plants, abnormally high amounts of the orange spectrum? My guess is that leds would outperform hps if light was less abundant than in this grow op.. that the suboptimal spectrum of HPS would show it's inferiority if the total amounts of photons blasted wasn't MEGA-huge..

That damn Suboptimal spectrum, why does it never fail? Things that make you go mmmmnnhh.

Yeah, HPS does deliver.. The heat and humidity that comes along with it can be a bitch though.. just as the stretch.. depending on your grow situation..

Maybe an hps with extra 440 or - few added 6000 k cobs, to counter the Stretch, would kick even more ass..?
