Took battery out and put back in. Allegedly. My humidity just rose 7 percent in the blink of an eye and hasn’t gone down.

Operator error or complete equipment failure? Lol.

Didn’t think it was hardly too wet at all.......

Thank you for that information. Tomorrow I will try taking the exhaust out of the hole in the ceiling and see what happens since temps are lower. Thanks again. Was very stuck as to what do try aside from buying an expensive dehumidifier which I’d really rather not do.

Still doesn’t explain my vivosun brand new dehumidifier barely taking in any water though.... leave it on all day and only get a quarter cup......

Yeah I’m more than likely about to have to buy a dehumidifier. My night time humidity has been mid 65-70% when lights shut off I have two fans running in there. I’m going to shut my intake fan off and see if it helps
Along with ramping my lights up. I’ve been running them all the way down for veg going the heat from turning them up brings my RH down. It will during daytime hours but night time I’m probably and will have to bite the bullet on a dehumidifier.

It's a front loaded process, building the soil, cooking if need be. It's much slower in comparison. It requires more space. Easy is defined by your parameters.

Easy for me is complete control. Much like driving a manual vs auto. Hydro may require more attention, but it's full control.

Soil may be easy for you. Just as many people have trouble with soil as hydro. It's just trade off, no right or wrong.

Parameters?
Easy = less effort.

How do you know just as many people have trouble with soil as hydro? What is your sample size?

Depends on the situation.... nutrient issues in soil are a lot harder to correct than in hydro. They take longer to respond to corrections. And depending on the hydro method you use.... my coco DTW is as simple as it gets. I feed daily to run off.. I use megacrop a one part nutrient. 4 grams to the gallon from week 2 all the way through veg.... 5grams am 1-3 in flower and 6 grams all the way out until flush. Literally mix my nutes together PH and feed. If I have an issue I can correct it by feeding until my run off is what I put in problem solved. I can change my medium PH and EC the same way.... same with the hempys.... Much easier than flushing soil and trying to figure out nute problems in soil. Just been my experience. Plus I don’t have to make my medium up a month ahead of time. Just depends on the growers personality really. I like having complete control makes troubleshooting a lot easier. Soils just not that way. Not to mention finding the sweet spot between over and under watering.

You don't know much about growing in soil.

Seriously. :roll:

Nute issues in soil harder to correct than hydro? You’ve lost your mind man.

Your hydro should be booming if that were the case...... if your hydro issues are so much easier to fix than dirt grows.... Fix them.

Make your soil medium up a month ahead of time? .....what?

Yea, parameters. Time and space constraints are easier filled with hydro. You can grow bigger, quicker in hydro. Therefore, it's easier for me to complete my grow faster with the same results in less time... easier, FOR ME.

Look at the forum. Plenty of people in soil having a plethora of issues. Whether it's overwatering/underwatering, lockout from their mix, etc.

I don't know what you mean by sample size.

I consider the control aspect of it to be easier to achieve the overall objective... lots of weed fast.

You can grow more plants in a smaller space in hydro with less water and less nutes.

So, soil is easy for you because you just water them with low maintenance. Hydro is easier for me because I have more control.

Make sense? I wouldn't be telling you that hydro is easier for me or converting my entire setup to hydro if I thought I could smoke my hydro plants with soil plants. Ease is in the eye of the beholder lol.

100% agree with this. Might be "more work" to feed daily but the control you have is invaluable.

My hempys are booming......And.... since last night after fixing my PH the color in my DWC has completely reversed and the plants back on track. It’s been less than 12 hours. Lmao but it woulda taken my soil grows 2-3 days to do the same thing. And depending on the issue a lot more flushing.

If you mix a soil yourself as opposed to buying soils like I do you have to let the organic dry amendments “cook” in your soil
So they’re broken down and are available for the microbes to be able to consume them. I’m speaking on full organic soils not bottle fed soils. When I use soil it’s water and teas only that I feed I don’t Use bottled nutes.
