Cheers guys. I wonder if a bucket of water with an air stone would be enough to raise humidity enough in that space?

I use a co2 burner so for me it’s just a matter of how far to bring humidity down.

 

[JimyTheCook]

Wonder why there's none in stock

Yea ya would think being that time of year every man an his dog be gettin it for their mull plants but im out in the sticks so i couldn see a few people clearin out an ag supply store..

If you want my opinion Luke (too bad if you don’t, your gonna get it haha)
Your pretty much spot on, you could lift your humidity a little more and slowly reduce it as your buds get bigger/more dense.
I’ve run this exact temp/humidity throughout most of flower with 1250ppm of co2 and plants loved it!
Just take note of how much they drink,
I found this to be a key indication for temp and humidity.
They should drink more than if you weren’t dosing co2 but if their drinking too fast then drop temp or up humidity a little or both before the plant stops drinking at all lol.

I used to work on that theory too m8. Started getting heaps better results when I found out about VPD, and applied it. Just got to get the temps and humidity down at lights off, and always keep good air circulation. Stop co2 about 7-10 days out and then reduce temps and humidity at lights on too, keeping in VPD range though.

Not really. Fairly easy to make a humidifier that you don’t have to place inside a tent and take away grow space. Hook it up to a humidity controller. Just a smaller version of one like this and run the hose into the tent behind your fan.

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. My outdoor plants you see in the photo above are in 100% coco.
You have to be careful in coco as you will deplete the coco of calcium very quickly.
I used straight water for a few waterings, ensuring NOT to water till runoff (as you won’t add anymore salts or wash whatever nutrients that remain out)
I wouldn’t do it for too long if I was you but you will get away with a few waterings like this, just make sure to give a good dose of cal/mag when your nutes arrive.
Some people charge their coco first with cal/mag by watering with cal/mag only then watering/feeding as normal not long after.

do you have a seperate bottle of cal/mag Venus? Also we’re the flowering nutes that you do have, both parts?

yes I have a seperate bottle of calmag. And yes my usual nutes are canna classic.
I ended upjust using the other brand I had there. Totally forgot to get a pic of the label at the back but this is the stuff I used to use and have done entire grows with. The only reason I stopped was because I found sometimes it was necessary to adjust ph manually but these nutes are self ph’ing

 

[Venus55]

As for the experiment between the one I up-potted and the one I didn’t... the info I got was that roots stop growing by the time they’re 4wks in flower. I don’t know about that because after I did it the new coco I added was staying wet when I’d go in to water for probably about 3 days then started drying out evenly with the rest which says to me the roots grew into the new space. And looking at the two plants now the one I did it to is now a much bigger/fuller plant with way more and bigger buds than the one I didn’t re-pot. So conclusion is definitely helped even at 4wks in

more like the ag guys cleared out the ag store. Caterpillars don’t just eat weed

Should be fine then Venus!

Yea, I’ve had a good look at the VPD chart ozy and found I wasn’t far off it. I looked at it every now and then as a guide. It is good!

Yes humidity down during lights off is important.
I was reading up a while ago about lights off temps and theirs some commercial growers that drop lights off temps by only a few degrees.... they swear that too bigger temp swings reduce yield substantially......?
I don’t know how true this is, if you look at outdoor yields/temps....
But These guys were growing massive colas and did a study on where they found co2 to be most effective at different weeks into flower.
They had their co2 to around 1100 at week 6 of flower on a 9 week strain, and finished at 800ppm of co2.
They even had different rooms for each part of the flowering stage, all set to different co2/temp/humidity levels
(Fuck that, sounds like a lot of work haha)

Ive personally never turned my co2 generator off but did find it helped them finish up quicker reducing it!

I did the same but a bit earlier, maybe 2 weeks after flower, mainly because I had to water too often. I was surprised to see how much thicker/bushier she got! Will definitely yield more from it.

Yep same reason I did it was having to water too often and exactly same results for me she’s soo much bushier than the other one.

 

[bursto]

cheap.

no because its old school and better for the plants than digital

i still say 400 sontiagro at arround 2.3 amps draw with an open shade is better for anyone, as a first light, or fall back light, for noobs or pros as they can be used for flower and veg, have less heat issues

than a 600hps for that stuff, obviously if your growing pounds you will want one or two 600s

400s still grow great weed, if the plant is not to big

 

[bursto]

every time i buy a new toy, or globe ,,, i compare it to my 400hps sonti, if they not as happy, or better im done

Just get a 315 cmh more expensive initial cost but will be cheaper in the long run not having to upgrade and save power from day 1!? Same light through veg and flower Too

 

[bursto]

you know the worst thing apart from being busted is

having new lights and tents, and fans and shit ready to go from fleabay, and cause you mid flower, not being able to set it all up

normally im ripping the boxes open.,, ahhh, hurry up bitches, and clones i want to have a cleanout, bring shit to 2020

why is everything taking so long

 

[DustyDuke]

Dick is great. Keep Smashing it hard. No such thing as too much dick.

FIFY couldn’t resist

 

[bursto]

i got like two boxes of tent shit, and two boxes of lights all boxed up, its fuckin killing me walking past them each day

 

[bursto]

then i go check my girls in the old tent, and fuck all is happening, think im in nute lockout Atm

im just gonna flush early with pk13/14 and move on

No doubt..

How far into flower are they bursto?
