First grow/stealth - need the experts

grorite, thanks so much - never thought of that AT ALL!! i put 2 cups of hot water in there every 24hours ( 2 cups of hot water increses my humidity like 5-10%) usually by the mornings its box temperature , and then i feed with that water
 
Humidity for veg should be 60-80% flower should be 30-45% Low humidity will cause plants to transpire more than normal which will cause them to dry out and die.Low humidity will also cause reduce C02 uptake slowing a plants growth. High humidity will cause a plant to not transpire causing over watering and promote bacteria and fungus. get a humidifier. every rise of 10 degrees in temperature, the air humidity doubles. I usually don't stress low humidity to much but 10% is extreme. slow down on nutes until she bounces back. get quality soil as well promix or foxfarms are great.

Yeah DEFINIETLY keep the humidity under control for veg and flower. Everything this guy said was important and he knows what he's talking about.
 
It's called vapour pressure deficit (VPD). There is a reltionship between temp and humidity that is easily calcuated for optimal growth. Unfortunately, for our needs it must be modified away from optimal to prevent mould.

Hell my dyna gro takes my 7.5 tap clear down to 5.3. I use my protekt to bring it back up to low 6's.

Ya know what, I have no idea what my nutes drop my tap water down to. I do know my tap water is 8.5ph lol. Getting a ph meter after my current grow - getting tired of not being able to tell what the ph is as soon as a make the water coloured with nutes. I am prepared to be shocked LOL.

Lol I got a bluelab ph pen and ppm meter and honestly I don't even know what a deficiency looks like anymore :D
 
I just transplanted in to 1 galon bags in to promix soil. my humidity is no where near 10% i mentioned it was at THE VERY beginning , its maintained now at around 40% with the new bags and temp is around 85 f. as also you can see the pictures, now with my galon bags there is no room for anything else in the box, so a humidifier would be outta the question. and a ph meter is around 100$ (cant afford at the moment) . now that ive transplanted, i watered them in to the new soil and put them back under the lights ( where do i go from here) when should be my next water, hence the new bags and the amount of water

If you just transplanted them give them a lil b-1 vitamin and a through watering and then wait 3-4 days to water again. Don't water until it's dry at least 1 knuckle down.

Here you go bro. 17$
They work just fine for the price. As much as I've wanted to blame my ph600 I never could as I calibrated maybe once a month.

OK, soon as i transplanted i gave er 2 cups of water per. now i will wait till the soil drys to water again, other than that everything should be okay?? :) tahnks everyone for all the help btw
 
After the first 24 hours with no nutes, and in the new promix soil/ 1 gallon bag. Looking alot better, more green, better evenly spaced out and grew almost 1/3rd of its size pics below

Thanks so much to everyone who helped - she looks a lot healthier .. ( praying shes female ) .. the other one hasn't grown at all.. but its forming new leaves where the other ones died off (SLOWLY). Hopefully I can milk a half oz even though they've been through a lot. Would love to know how people get more than 1 main cola, i mean i know about LST, and i know about topping a little, but not much - not sure if this is the right place, just thought id add it in since i've been getting great feed back. (I know this is an experiment) but i would like to get as much as i can non less in the room i have! :) thanks!!!
