In northern Az, I have had to run lights on after sundown and mist plants during day in summer. It works but is a pain. Now I just shut down growing after late May and restart in early October.

High temps are always a struggle in the summer, but low RH was never a problem for me. My room can get into the 20-30% range in the winter, and I just lower my ppm so the ladies don't burn. My understanding is that they drink more with low RH, so you don't want them sucking up too much nutrient along with the additional water intake. Otherwise they don't seem to mind the low humidity. I know @curious2garden has struggled with very low RH. Beside the swamp cooler, how do you deal with it, Annie?

Like you said I run a lower EC. I often don't pay close enough attention and end up with very dark green plants if I don't!

When winter finally comes all my problems go away. We set the thermostat in the house at 70 then as opposed to 78 now.

There you go, laddyd. Maybe try to lower your ppm/EC in the summer's low RH to mitigate the plant crispiness. Let us know how it goes...

I've been giving them 3/4 tsp per gallon of maxi bloom, guess I'll cut that back to 3/8 see how she does. The others are almost done so I should have probably been cutting back last week anyway.

Yup ... take Hawaiian Pizza. From the shadows to the mainstream thanks to said peak purchasing power.
