    Is VPD more important than light intensity for growth?

    You could look at something like this and DIY something (they have videos and al the parts): https://thehouseofhydro.com/index.html That said, if you have to turn up your exhaust to combat heat which is the cause of the lowered humidity, you're going to have trouble turning the exhaust down to...

    $1,000 CDN Light Suggestions? (was: SpiderFarmer SF-4000 suggested comparisons)

    At the risk of asking too many dumb questions, Can you comment on my logic here, then I will go back to the light hunt? Right now in an 8'x8'x9' room with two air-cooled (indoor air from neighboring room) 600watt HIDs, ballasts, and a dehumidifier in the room, on hot summer days of 26c+ I...

    $1,000 CDN Light Suggestions? (was: SpiderFarmer SF-4000 suggested comparisons)

    After some discussion, I am now working with a hard cap of $1,000 CDN before tax and shipping. This has put pretty much anything (in stock) at HLG off the table. @BobThe420Builder suggested this...

    $1,000 CDN Light Suggestions? (was: SpiderFarmer SF-4000 suggested comparisons)

    I'm actually growing in an 8'x8'x9' room where I have half of it as a 4'x8' flower area I grew out some clones for my very first run. I couldn't manage to keep heat and RH in range running two 600watt MH/HPS lamps, so am scaling back so I can make this enjoyable again instead of having constant...

    Have you seen it in stock anywhere at that price lately (ships to Canada)? Thanks!

    $1,000 CDN Light Suggestions? (was: SpiderFarmer SF-4000 suggested comparisons)

    Thanks! This creates new questions for me: 1) Knowing "Pro" level lights seem to start at $1,000ish if I am in that price range, are the HLG and the light you link from Budget the best two contenders? 2) Give your two options, is there one you would always pick over the other if I plan to veg...

    $1,000 CDN Light Suggestions? (was: SpiderFarmer SF-4000 suggested comparisons)

    Hi All, I'm having a bit of trouble with managing heat in my room and have no more cooling capacity, so I think scaling back and switching to LED will give me (and my plants) room to breathe. I'm going to be decommissioning two 600 watt switchable MH/HPS lamps over a 4'x8' area in favor of...

    Say it ain't so. Got the rot?

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear. In the first post those are fresh buds taken from a still living plant (one of two plants). I quick dried a previous plant that had mold, not these. I only mentioned it because these were exposed to that plant. Then I added a link to a post I made about another plant...

    How bad is it to turn osc. fan off when its cold ?

    See, then @xtsho runs no fan but likely has all other factors in line, so really what do I know! AgainI think it's an odds game. Clean environment, good air flow and humidity, likely no problems due to inhospitable environment and cleanliness. Im just hurting from the recent gut punch and...

    How bad is it to turn osc. fan off when its cold ?

    I don't think anyone here will be able to tell you that a spore will or will not take hold in x number of minutes. From what I can tell it's an odds game, spores are always there, ready to infect if the environment is right. You don't want any spores settling if you can. If one settles in the...

    Say it ain't so. Got the rot?

    Also, with this context. Would you mind commenting on this bud? Should I trash my whole stash? Damn it. This was me trying to harvest. I assumed the fade was me not feeding right. https://rollitup.org/t/day-63-yellow-all-over-maybe-now.1029549/post-15767499 It looks like this after drying and...

    Say it ain't so. Got the rot?

    I had a plant with PM I took down last week in week 14. I tried do a h2O2 wash and it ended up molding on me. Trashed all 180 grams of my best plant. I have 2 plants left in the room mid week 15 now. Been keeping temps at 22 to 24c and RH around 40. I should say in the beginning my amateur...

    Nutrient substitution?

    So if what I read is correct, then potassium phosphate monobasic and monopotassium phosphate are the same thing. The bloom just has magnesium sulfate added. Is my assumption correct that I can probably use the ton o bud to substitute for bloom for these last couple weeks? I'm probably going to...

    Opinions on this bud (frosty or pm/mold)?

    Even with breaking it open....my loupe and eyes aren't jiving. Need a clip on magnifier for my phone camera so I can zoom and take good pics. Maybe that will help since the thing I'm asking about needs sharp close ups for anyone to help me and can only be useful in the future. I'll be back!

    Opinions on this bud (frosty or pm/mold)?

    One of my concerns which I can't get a picture of is the amount of headless stalks that look sort of like trichrome stalks (crystally) but also semi resemble hyphae filimants under my 30x loupe. When I burp the jars I shake em up a fair bit, and the inside of the jars is quite sticky, so the...

    Opinions on this bud (frosty or pm/mold)?

    I think I ended up around 70 days from flip. I'd need to double check but it's around there.

    Opinions on this bud (frosty or pm/mold)?

    This was my should I chop it thread. It dried about 8 days to crispy and I've been burping it in jars since. https://www.rollitup.org/t/day-63-yellow-all-over-maybe-now.1029549/post-15767499

    Opinions on this bud (frosty or pm/mold)?

    So I grew a plant out which finished early after yellowing out. I didn't notice any PM or Mold of any kind, and the general opinion was I screwed up feeding to cause yellowing. Now after some recent revelations, I think I might not know what I'm looking at, or looking for when it comes to PM or...

    Close up of early PM on a bud?

    Hi All, I think I had a very slight touch of PM on a plant I just recently harvested. It only seemed to be on a couple of fan leaves and didn't look exactly like the pics I see online, seemed almost more like a dry crust/scale under the loupe, not really a powder. It also wasn't spreading fast...

    Nutrient substitution?

    I was running the full line of future harvest Holland secret. I am very late flower on a sativa leaning plant. (Mid week 14). I am not running bottle nutrients for my next cycle, so have been letting the additive bottles run out. The plant hasn't seemed to notice. I just ran out of bloom...
