First grow, anything else I can do to improve?

So far they seem to be doing great. Week 4. Starting to flower. GDP autos in 3.5gal pots. Room kept at 70f RH at 55%. Been feeding them foxfarm big grow, big bloom, and just started adding tiger bloom.

Question: is there anything else I can add to improve these plants? Maybe something to enhance bud growth / flavor / terps?

Thanks for the replies! I'll turn down the AC and bring the temps back up. They were cruising around 80 to 85f for the most part. I'll back off on the AC a bit and bring the humidity down a little more with my dehumidifier.

Look at a VPD chart and try to get your temp and humidity in the optimal range. Now that she's flowering that would be 1.2 to 1.5. An example would be at 77 degrees you want 54 to 46 RH.

Apparently now that my light is at 100% intensity (20 inches from canopy), my tent remains at 82f. No matter what I set my AC to. That's with a 4in ventilation fan pulling hot air from the top (195cfm) and 2 6in oscillating fans on the bottom pointing up, screened ventilation port open on the bottom.

Question: according to the VPD chart, in order to get it to 1.3 at 82f I need 60% RH.

I was under the assumption that humidity had to be low during flower to prevent possibility of mold on the buds.

Am I over thinking it? I've now got it perfectly set according to the chart. 60% /82F.

It should grow like a weed.
I had to turn my lights down to 75% or it got too hot. Right now I'm running almost exactly like you are 82 and 58 RH. Plants are doing well.
Make sure you have excellent ventilation and be wary of getting above 60% RH after that they say mold can become an issue.

You’ll be fine with those numbers, as said just keep the air moving. I’m just in the middle of harvesting and for the flowering period I was running 80-85 degrees with 50-60% humidity, two 8” exhaust fans w/carbon filters , one 8” intake fan and a 10” oscillating in a 6.5x6.5x7 tent.
