Full image pic with light off to limit distortion (other light on just for picture to illuminate).

scrog net is just stored at that height it wont sit there during use lol.
carbon filter is literally enormous, and humidifiers look very close to plants but trust me they're a good foot or more away.
I also regularly clean and maintain the tent to prevent any nasty buildups of any kind but i DO NOT do this for the run off trays, is that ok or can bad stuff (mold, etc) develop there too?

the trays shouldn't be a problem, mine are never cleaned but once a year, flushing helps clean them out too.

are you using a fan speed controller?

I say this because I notice the thermometer in the corner. no digi reading... with an FSC you can control the fan to run at an idle speed and kick in when the temps get high, fsc's with thermostat controls are better so you can dial in those key numbers

Edit. they have a little probe like those on hygrometers so you can place it at foliage level.

I have a digi on the ground, I used to keep it at the plant level but I want to watch the ground as that tends to be the lowest ends of heat and humidity. I like the idea of FSC for the fan so humidity can stay up I'll definitely grab one. Good call

You need to remember, weed prefers dry, and if you want THC/resin, the dryer the better. I prefer to keep my RH in the 30's, I sure as hell wouldn't bump it up from 30 to 45 or higher on purpose, for sure keep it under 50%, unless you want less THC and more mold, mildew and insect issues.

The only time you want higher humidity is during seedling stage or clone stage.

I would set your lights to turn off, but keep the fan running, keep it as dry as possible in there.

OK so then I guess I'm alright where I'm at in terms of RH. I always have fans running so that's good.
