My Dehumitifer & ac keeps the % within 5% of my set controls , I want my room @50% all times . it does jump 45-55 but most of the time it’s sits at 50. expect at lights out, there’s a spike , but it’s back in range in bout 30ish min.
I’m running a Quest 105.
I don’t really have humidity cycles in the room except lights out , After I water it doesn’t go over 55% but the Dehumitifer is over kill, so it sucks it up n goes to limp mode till it climbs a bit. Then it does it again.
The 105 with a 3.5ton mini drinks water out of the air , it pulls it out of the plant , so I’m basically speeding up their Metabolism to take in more food n water .

When I said wet n dry cycles I’m speaking about the medium, I want it to get a full range of conditions over 24hrs . Lights on , wet medium, enough that it’s ready for water 24hrs later, I want the soil to dry to take in more air, it’s critical for healthy roots, if your roots are good they will work harder n make more bud.

Not sure if that answers it or not,
I went back for 4ths on dessert ,(dam shadder has me in a cloud) I’ll reread it over coffee at work, might interpret it differently then lol.

I’m an over kill kinda guy, and one thing that contributes to my success is a huge Dehumitifer, the more wet dry cycles you can introduce in the flowering period the bigger your plants will be,

Or is it just me?

This is really interesting to me.i was under the impression that mj liked going from wet to dry to wet,soaking all of the medium. So you must not be watering through all the way? Or you wouldn't be able to water daily? I have a wicked heavy watering hand(something I'm trying to correct) I believe I'm waiting long enough between waterings,but I may be watering too much at once.if im following you correctly, you aren't soaking your medium all the way through or until run off?

I've found that in coco coir, it's best to hold back water during the early stages of the veg cycle.

It seems to force the roots to search far and wide in the medium for water and nutrients. The results are a huge rootball and huge buds

Thanks to everyone for the advice on how to handle the bud rot

The infected Cookie Wreck got chopped yesterday--and you guys were right. The rot was everywhere. Even where I couldn't see it from the outside--it still had gray inside. 90%+ got chopped and thrown away. The plant was huge. Over 7 feet tall, biggest plant I've ever grown. There was a lot of material that got tossed, maybe a pound or more of buds? Ended up with an oz or two of larfy bottom nugs that got washed with hydrogen peroxide and water.

And more bad news today. Also noticed some bud rot on another plant--Chelumbian D. Damn. Guess that's another loss. I only have 4 more outdoor plants (Copper Chem, Dream Catcher, Cookies n Chem and Half & Half). The Dream Catcher and Half and Half look to be at 6 weeks-ish but the Copper and Cookies are just starting to stack nugs and probably have another month or more left.

Can I ask your guys opinion, should I try to grow these out longer or harvest all the plants at this point? Does bud rot keep spreading through the entire garden once it starts?

I like to start with a wet and kind of dry cycle, for a week or so, before initiating multi feeds on a daily basis.

I am watering to the point of saturation every day, most of the time, if I feel like did didn’t drink as much as I wanted the day before , I’ll hit with less tonight , About once a week I over water, so I can collect the run off data.
This will show me any swings or build up.

I’m using root master pots (full of holes)
I also keep 2 fans blowing under my canopy.

How close are you to harvest? Budrot was usually the death knell to my outdoor season when I first saw it(i love my cob,only way i could do an indoor) sounds like you have some fat colas,rot loves that.ime,there is not much you can do once it sets in.you can watch the weather,but once rot starts,I believe,you're pretty much doomed.too bad you're getting so much rot in the end of August.

Thanks. The Cookie Wreck was the only plant that was nearing harvest. The others are all weeks away. But if its a case of sub-par bud vs. nothing, I would rather harvest and get something.

Yeah, its surprising that it is so humid right now. I live in the LA area, but the humidity is starting to feel more and more like Florida. Last week the humidity was peaking at 88% overnight, every night. And last night it was only 76%, so a little better, but probably still too high.

When you say the garden is doomed once it sets in, are you recommending to toss the plants? Harvest early? or wait and see?

From the looks of your buds,it appears you're growing some large plants.with those pots and 2 fans blowing,I can understand how you're watering that frequently. Thanks for the info
