As the title says, curious as to how things look as this is my first grow. Week 4 since solo cups. FFOF/perlite/coco. 2x 1000w ballasts. Been having a hell of a time getting my humidity squared away. Had issue very early on with the sensor being defective and skyrocketed my r.h. to 84% when lights went out, causing p.m. Haven't seen p.m. since treatments and adjustments to fans/humidifier but until recently haven't been able to get it above 26%. Sitting at low-mid 40s after some tinkering the other day and seems to be holding.

Any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Though I am aware that the training for the front 2 didn't go quite as well as the rest, they were a tad stubborn.

Are you able to get a dehumidifier that can control that room when lights go out?

I would suggest the same thing, the high humidity isn’t coming from the plants given their size, I’d guess it’s something you need to control because of the overall environment of your room

The humidity may have dropped to the 20s when you adjusted the fans? Maybe it’s just a matter of getting the airflow dialed in. If your air intake from outside or in the building?

Pulling humidity down isn't an issue. Once I replaced the sensor regulating on/off for the humidifier, its nearly impossible to get it above 45%. And it took some work to get it back to the 40s

It seems the humidifier is simply too small for your room then if you can’t get it high enough.

That is disappointing as I bought a whole house unit that i installed above my furnace and it has a 12gal whole house unit inside the room . It is an old unit if I'm being honest. Would a cold mist unit be more effective?

Looks good man, cold and dry climate are killing me here too. Luckily I have only a 8x8 room. But my LED still has issues getting it above 77 (I'm shooting for 82 with co2)
Definitely some N toxicity, I always dumb down my FFOF with a good amount of perlite, and some FFHF (about 3 to 1 OF/HF)
I always also would add dolomite lime since their soil can have a bit of high PH, it also gives some extra mag.
They are also alittle far apart IMO, are you filling all that? That will be a pretty long veg time

Figured I'd see how far they get before I get tired of waiting on them lol. I left a 3x3 area of net for each plant.
