Yea that is correct.1375 is the ppm.I use a nano chiller to keep my bucket that cold.
You are learning fast.Here is what i got one 4 Quart de-humidifier outside closet,1 big damp-rid and 3 small in the tent.Closet temps are 75 and inside tent with lights on are 78 and 68 off.

Hmm, dunno if you can lower it anymore then really lol. I mean you have a pretty impressive de-humidifying arsenal there lol. I mean 40% shouldn't be too much of a worry and if you've got good air circulation mold shouldn't be an issue.

I'm usually fighting to reach 40% RH, total opposite of what you're dealing with, so it's a little tricky lol, but I'll keep trying to figure something out if I can.

Thanks for helping me out with learning about hydro Mind, really appreciate it.

No problem Doobs,You should give it a try sometime.Alot easier than i thought it was going to be.
I guess the 40 is not that bad,I have read that if you can get it in the low 30's for the whole grow,your buds are the shit?
Just what i have read though.Could just be chasing phantom results also.lol

Dehumidifier maybe? I mean 40% is fine but if you want it lower. Hmmm maybe I'll research some stuff and see what I can think of for DIY.

I don't know too much about hydro lol, but I'll take a shot.... 1375 is ppm right? Also the res temp should be at around 68 because that's ideal for healthy roots and healthy roots equals great plants? 5.8 is ideal for hydro because it allows the plants to absorb the nutes properly through a watered system?

I'm just trying to learn lol, and I learn by reading up so.... yeah.

Please correct me if I'm wrong or am missing something, so I can learn from it.

The 68 degree res temp is also good for maximum oxygen saturation:peace:

The picture below is from an older crop, my RH was pretty low below 20%. I will be at 40% exact this time around so we will compare the two (Since I haven't done so already lol). The plant was at 3 weeks in bloom at this point I believe.

I'll probably give hydro a shot, I just know that the quality is going to take a hit though. I think I will probably have a soil grow, a hydro/auto-flower grow and just alternate between the two. Or just have a hydro setup to try out strains since it grows out quick. Still debating on it though, gotta get a new grow room design anyway when we move. We got approved but they wanted like 800+ bucks for a deposit lol, needless to say we walked lol.

o2 saturation so that the roots can uptake the nutrients properly right? Because otherwise, you'd get lock or burn I'm guessing?

The same concept with soil kind of, you don't want to drown your plants/roots out because of lock out, burn and root damage. Am I on the right track?

You are right on the money Doobs.And ya know i have had some indoor grown stuff that was way better than the outdoor grown version.But it could have been the grower's too!But that sure was a pretty bud you posted,what stain was that.And what was your trichs like.Do like alot of clearor more cloudy or more cloudy/amber.That is the part of the grow i have to work on,is the harvest/drying/curing part.lol:peace::joint:

Well 2 of my plants were male so I'm down to 1 Northern Lights plant and 1 White Dwarf both female. The Northern Lights is looking unhealthy and I'm not sure why. PH is normal and I water when soil is dry about 3 inches down. The White Dwarf is younger but looks much healthier. The other two Northern Light plants were healthier looking but of course ended up as males. Guess that's the chance you take when you don't go feminized. The unhealthy female has droopy leaves with curling tipsl and many of the leaves are very dry. If anyone could take a look at these pics and maybe figure out whats wrong. I haven't added many nutes at all which is why I'm so confused about this plant.

The last picture is my autoflowering White Dwarf which has started flowering a couple nights ago and smells awesome.

Very healthy looking plants you have.But the way the leafs are curling under on some,you might want to water a little less.
lol Anyway nice looking,keep it up.

Depends on the high you want really dude, I mean Indicas naturally have a more couch lock and Sativas have a more clear high. With Indicas you want to harvest a bit earlier than a Sativa. If you want a more heavy stone with a Sativa you want to let it go longer. Indicas 8-10 weeks, Sativas 10-14 weeks. Hybrids are kinda tricky, but if you know if the strain is more Indica or Sativa dominant can help.

I like to harvest when my trichomes are around 60 amber, 30 milky and 10 clear (Got my handy microscope, I can tell when to harvest without it too but the microscope is dead on accurate). I think it's a well balanced high personally, and if you want to get way stoned (For like insomnia and stuff) you can just smoke more. For example my Blue Madness (Indica/Sativa) is going to take a week or two longer than my Black Doms (Indica). Thc is the "High" and when it turns to Cbd it gives a more "Stoned" feeling.

As far as soil vs. hydro I think it may have been the grower dude lol. Soil is better for taste and smell, and hydro is more for grow and quantity. Most of the cannabis cup guys grow soil, because of quality. The yield takes a hit but I just like soil buds better, with hydro (Could be the grower too don't get me wrong) I find sometimes the bud has little taste or the taste is watered down tasting and not as robust and flavorful as soil.

That strain was supposedly Og Kush/Blueberry from bagseed (That's what my friend said), but upon harvest and even a little before that I found that it was not. It had to be more of a Columbian strain I think, it smelled like terpentine and coffee lol, and the taste when smoked was very VERY earthy and not lemony/zesty like Og, so yeah lol. Don't really know the strain but I think it's a Columbian variety from a bag I got around the same time. Thanks for the compliment by the way lol.

That sucks to hear about your transducer/fogger dude, that's way BS for sure. I hope you get that sorted out man that totally sucks, those bastards seriously. I hope things get better for you there Mind, I share your frustration dude lol.

Hope this info helps some and hope things get taken care of dude, lol sorry for the novel.

Edit: Curing will get easier with time, hang dry for 7-14 days depending on humidity factors, keep the temp low 68F for both hanging and cure, hang and cure in a dark place, cure for 4 weeks minimum 2 if you can't wait lol, burp at least 2 times per day, make sure your buds aren't too moist.

Thanks for the input Doobs.The dick at the store where i bought the fogger said it is my fault that it is damaged.He said that i let it run to long and over heated it.Even though the bookelet says nothing about putting it on a timer so it does not burn up(Go figure)So i do not think i will be doing the fogger at this time.They wont replace it,i will have to buy another.And thanks for drying/curing details.I think my next grow is going to be super silver haze or nevilles haze?Thanks again for all your help Doobs you are best lolkiss-ass

Wow what a bunch of assholes seriously.... Customer service has been slowly dying lately it seems. That sucks dude, oh well your plants are looking good without anyway. SSH is nice, but I've been reading a lot of bad reviews from Greenhouse (Can't verify the validity of these reviews) lately so be careful. Both those Hazes would be good for a SCRoG grow for sure dude.

No problem with the tips and info Mind, curing is a bitch lol.

What's up room 250:hug:? I'm gonna try and update every couple of weeks with pics of the crop :leaf: It has now been 3 weeks since I turned 12/12 and I think its going smoothly. I have noticed a couple of pistils turning purple/brownish, is this ok:?: When should I see buds forming because right now the pistil look like wisps floating in wind. I smell a hint of bud whenever I walk in the grow room, is the smell going to get any louder? Thanks
