Yea it has 7 different colors but luckily has an off position as well. I suppose one could also cut the wire going to the led inside.
As far as raising the rh goes, due to cold temps, I basically get by without using my PC fan exhaust and it keeps the tent above 45 with on/off option. Does better when on continuously, but tank is small so you'd have to refill at least a couple times. when i do use the exhaust, it usually drops down to 35 cause it's pulling dry air in as it exhausts.
That lil thing gets your tents RH up to 45?

They're way more developed than my seedling. I'll be posting an update tomorrow. I guess that's where good lighting comes into play
What lights are you using?
Nope! A) 1st few week are genetics and B) I'm pretty sure his seeds were the first ones popping..., lol! Red/deep-red promotes germination while far-red blocks it.
The low humidity has already caused some VPD stress(twisted leaves) on our seedlings, mate. We just don't have perfect conditions and that makes the start a little slower.

Right on. That gives me hope lol
Had some twisted leaves early on too before I improved the setup

Yeah, they can not evaporate enough water because they have almost no roots. Pretty common issue but it usually it dissapears with the 2nd or 3rd leaf set depending on RH and VPD. Those little humidity domes from clear party cups usually work great in the 1st 2 weeks. I've just messed up the coco mix with too much molasses and bacteria and the PH did a jump up to 7,1. My bad!

So, again I am starting slowly. My garage temps range from 55 to about 65 so the babies are slow growing. Then I knocked over 2 cups and I lost those 2 seedlings. The remaining 3 Gunslinger babies are coming up tho. You will see I discovered the perfect device to hold cups securely in my pics...

The light is currently at 79 watts, don't make me turn it up to 500!

Haha, no I doubt those strips would live long at that power. The most i would consider running it at is around 130-150 watts since there is no heat sink at all on those 4 strips. I do have another birdcage connected to that power supply if I want to put a plant in there too.

I'll post my weekly updates on Sunday if thats cool.

Seeds are Bagseeds but the plants are beautiful and frosty off these seeds. Plus I've grown them out before and know what they like. I've just never grown all the way thru in a solo cup and dident want to waste my expensive seeds.lol

My light is 2 Hlg 65s in 4000k and 1 Hlg 135 in 3000k all connected together.

Soil is Fox Farm OF mixed with a little Organic mechanics seed starting soil.

Nutrients will be GH Floranova with additives.
