Awesome Cab dude...
Because of where I live, my humidity is also around 65% during the
dark period...My cab used to be as crowded as your's, and I suffered
some bud rot due to lack of air-flow. I have since added a better fan,
and air out the room as well as possible. I haven't had any problems
since, so I decided against a de-humidifier. If you have the money
though, go for it...
Once those buds start forming, try to tie them off at least a foot from
that light...You could consider trimming some leaves for better light
exposure also, just do a couple at a time...Good Luck.

i now have an intake that i got from one of my buddys for free. My humidity came down but my temp did too. What is the lowest my temp should be when the light is on?? his 65F temp too low? my himidity cam down to under 60 % . I allso posted a couple of pic of my plant. looks like the little colas are looking better.
i am at 1300 ppm using flora nova. Should i go up or is this good.
my Ph is 5.6

According to marijuana Horiculture by jorge cervates under normal conditions the ideal temp should be 72-76 for indoor and can drop to 5-10f degrees "night temperature" without noticable growth rate effects, but should not drop more than 15 degrees at a time or stunted growth may result. daytime temps above 85 or below 55f will slow/stop growth.
hope that helps

I am 1 week one day into flowering.
Hey jonnyblunt88 you said: Once those buds start forming, try to tie them off at least a foot from that light.
What does this do? A whole foot? i am 3 inches away now.
i am going to have to cute out the whole shelf to do this because the shelf is welded in.

everything outside the cabinet now. For those of you that growing in the cabinet I suggest to take off the shelf before a lot more work to do it after you have it growing.
I took some pics when the light was off (when I was working on taking shelf off) the pic are a lot better showing the little colas.

Looking good dude. I will be watching and on a side note after the harvest let me know what lowrider tatse like. I don't plan on growing but I know a few people that say it taste funny. I'm just wondering if it really does. Keep up the good work my man.

i think the co2 boost work good. I read in hightimes that in small spaces it raises the co2 to 1200 ppm.

I was thinking about using co2booster.. maybe even after it was used up, convert it to a simple yeast/sugar culture vessel. I'm probably going to buy the tank and kit after my next harvest. then i can really see the benifits of co2 in flower with the clones i finally got rooted. you have no problems with the roots. that one pic is insane. haha

I built the whole setup from scratch. My cabinet is 3 feet wide by 6 feet high by 2 feet deep. I got the cabinet off my local used paper for $20. All I did is look at many other systems for sale and copied them for a lot less. I bought everything I have off of eBay. All in all I spent around $800 for everything. That’s for a digital 400w light hps and mh bulbs. Air cooled reflector with fan, 250 cfm blower hooked up to a thermostat, air carbon scrubber, small fan, co2booster, all the air ducting, 2 hydro bubbler setups, ph and ppm meters and all the nutes.
The most expensive thing was the light because it was digital I could have gotten a regular one for half the price but I think switching from hps to mh works good.

Here is a little update it has grown now it is 4 feet1 inch high. The braches are barley fitting I already trimmed a lot off the bottom and middle. Should I start trimming the top? I only have 4 more inches that I can move the light what should I do? Do you think its going to hit the light?
I am still on 18/6 hours of light and about 1450 ppm of nutes and 5.6ph
my humidity is 46% and temp around 76F
some pic of the buds.
This is One plant.

4ft
not a very low lowryder
but in anycase its frikin beautiful
looks like that plant is sativa dominant plant
i always thought lowryder was indeca dominant
guess i dont know what i think i do
anyway
im not sure about trimming the top
i myself would just use thick gauge bonsai wire and tie them down
but maybe you should check out the scrog method (screen of green method)
