yeah pls post about the status. interested how it will turn out.
about humidifiers, i'm not from states, so do not know. but humidifier/air bubbler/ph meter i would get last in my garden. when started growing a year ago was worrying too much about them. if your place is very humid you would need dehumidifier, but so many growers including me are going without one that i never worried about that. 20-40% rh is fine to grow in. if i were you i'd concentrate on well draining soil, well balanced nutes, watering habits, lights, airflow and temps. and read... not comments, cause here are sooo much false info like importance of ph or preharvest flushing or bloom nutes... first read a book or two and then start building your knowledge and experience from there. half a year i was making same mistakes like you do now, but due to documenting every single step, reading a lot and right people putting me on a right path i am now happy with the results i get
I couldn't agree more.
K.I.S.S. is my policy. (keep it simple stupid)
A couple years ago I was testing PH, letting water de-chlorinate, flushing.
I now water with straight tap, simple liquid organic nutes, and I grow in peat and perlite. 65% peat and 35% perlite.
It isn't soil, but a great light grow medium. I haven't seen a fungus gnat in months.
One grow medium for all stages. Seedlings, clones, mature plants.
Sometimes you can start seedlings in a grow medium that is too hot. I couple years ago, I started some germed seedlings in Vermafire. A real nice organic soil, but I almost lost those and they took weeks to recover.
I also agree with Simisimis. You should refer to botany books or MJ reference books, not forum talk. When I stopped treating my grow room as a lab, I started growing plants.
