That’s the “intake” fan I got just something simple I can keep on the lowest setting,I already have a dehumidifier that shuts off when it gets to what I set it at, humidity I’m not too worried about, I figure I can mist the plants once or twice a day when they’re young if I need the humidity to be raised. The whole reason I’m growing is because I’m tired of paying high prices for shit bud around where I’m and I know it may be a dream but I wanna be able to produce high quality potent bud at my house. My other question is I see so many varying temps and humidities to keep your tent at from different people online so I’m confused as fuck, what humidity and temp do I need for seedling, veg and growth?

I always run my temps around 83F, for seedling & veg I keep my RH around 65-70%, once buds start developing I taper down to 45-50%. Some people have success running a higher RH during flower but I’m not able to tend to my plants frequently and don’t want to risk PM/budrot issues.

Drying is extremely important too. Improper drying techniques can ruin the flavor and smell of your bud. I run an A/C, humidifier and dehumidifier while drying to keep the room around 60F & 55-60% RH and typically dry around 2 weeks. I also dry trim which is personal preference but I prefer the ease of trimming dry and believe the leaves help retain moisture to prolong the drying period which improve the smell/taste.

Hey, hope y’all are having a nice afternoon. So I tend to be an over-thinker and tend to forget the obvious sometimes because of it, here is my list of supplies I have gathered for my indoor grow. Any input would be awesome if I forgot anything or if anyone has any suggestions of things I should add or change.

Vivosun 2x4x60 tent
Hlg 260 v2 rspec
Air infinity T4 fan, hose, charcoal filter and clamps
Air infinity 4” intake fan
Digital timer
Circulation fan
5 gallon pots
Nursery pots
Pesticide pump sprayer (for watering)
Spray bottles (watering seedlings)
Garden ties for training
Plant saucers
Trimming shears
Pruning shears
Jewelers loupe
Ph meter
Digital scale
Trim bin, mini thermometer/hydro, mason jars, 90%alcohol and medical gloves for harvesting

I will be using Build a Soil light recipe from seedling until transplant and then transplant into Build a Soil V3.0 mix.

Zip ties. Extension cords/surge protector/outlet extension. pH storage solution in addition to calibration solution. Measuring containers and implements. Ducting for the filter/inline as well as any might want to run for intake. Hangers for the filter and inline if not included (I think Infinity includes them though). Enough duct clamps (Infinity probably includes them though). Probably want a small circulation fan for inside the tent. Aluminum foil tape if you might want to address any light leaks for your tent with it.

Clone plugs (f you do this).

That’s my fault for not putting that in there, my timer is actually a power strip with a digital timer half the plugs work off the timer half are always on, storage solution I will definitely add, as for the intake and exhaust, I have all the hangers clamps and filters, and I do have a fan to circulate air around the canopy on my list. And I never thought of the silver tape, I have a shit ton from when I was doing HVAC work.

You got some time, but source out some mason (canning) jars for storage

And your list will grow, but you got a good handle on it !

Oh yeah, papers, lighters......................pipe......................bong...............Rig lol

I run the same size tent with a T4 on the 6th speed, its good enough with a passive intake. If it was like a 4x4, then you might want the 6" fan. The humidifier and the humidistat will make your life easier, seedlings need to be at 50-60% RH because the roots aren't developed enough to use the water in the soil alone. If your house is actually at 70% RH like you said, then don't worry about a humidifier. You will need to use the dehumidifier outside the tent. You could run a small dehumidifier off a humidistat inside the tent too, but when it starts up the humidity will spike for a bit until it gets going. I wouldn't run one inside the tent too unless the big one isnt quite doing the job.

Just ran through the list of all the things I forgot to initially order myself the other day and had to place orders for. :) And I'm still finding little things that I forgot to order in that second wave.

Sorry I didn’t mean to say RH in my house is 70%, I was just saying for my region that’s what it is during the summer months, my house is probably right around 50ish for RH
