I dont think its worth doing the runt plant but i think ill do the other plant that had root damage as its picked up really well.

Pics with lights off will be tomorrow. Overall im really happy with the front 2 plants and i rekon they may yeild well, the 2 back plants have had a few problems so im just happy to have them alive.

Ill take some pics with lights out in the veg cab tomorrow and post them also

Thats pretty much lolly-popped! .. usually I would say remove the 2 lower branches as well, but in this instance.. I'd say you've done well to leave them, they look very strong and should be able to bud-up nicely.. Cheers for all the pics, everything is looking ace! - STELTHY

Do you think the 2 front planrts look good enough to yeild well mate?

They dont look to bad...Have you got any bud formation yet ?? - STELTHY

I have got a bit starting on the front left plant mate, the others arent far now either.

Right i have just lowered the EC on the front left plant as there are small fruits starting to appear Its right on the 3 week mark also so is bang on the Canna guide schedule, the other 3 ladies arent far off either so ill go by eye with those. Seeing as only 1 plant got away with no root damage (the lollypopped plant had about 3 leaves die after trasfering so i guess it was very minor root damage) im really happy, even the runt is getting a bit bigger!!!!

They have stretched alot more now so ill get some pics up tomorrow just before lights come on

A few pics. The ladies are starting to stretch a fair bit

Im gonna lollypop the other front plant shortly and put the dehumidifier in there

I have added the dehumidifier to the flower cab, its not really taken the humidity down at all but it is collecting water. Humidity is currently 59%, thats with the fan on full and the dehumidifier I dont fancy forking out for another one to be honest.

In the veg cab im having trouble keeping humidity high enough lol, its only 42% at the moment and the temp is nearly 28!!!!

I was thinking... another way of bringing down the humidity could be to put in a second air intake + Elbow and Odor Soc if more air passes, then the air should be less humind? - STELTHY

Its a good idea mate, im that busy at the moment though i could do without the hassle of trying to cut another 4" hole

I was thinking maybe get a few of those crystal dehumidifiers aswell, what do you think? I could get 4-5 in the cab and there only cheap. This one now has been on 2-3 days and the water tray isnt even half full, it doesnt feel humid in the cab either. This dehumidifier can shift up to 300ml a day so im wondering if its so humid in the cab why its not shifting alot more water.

You could try the Crystal Dehumidifiers I don't have any experience with them..How do you plan to arrange them? I am guessing near the bud sites and around the bases of the plants..

I did wonder something though.. If maybe on your next grow/veg grow you could find a way to use much smaller net pots and cover the excess space with a kind of plastic circle, then in theory the temp in the cab will be less able to draw water up thus lowering humidity ?!! I think this could work really well what do you think?? - STELTHY

Thats a thought mate ill have a think about it but it sounds like a plan.

As for the cheap dehumidifiers i was thinking one on top of each light and a couple around the base along with my electric one.

I have placed an crystal dehumidifier on top of each light so ill see if that makes a difference, the ladies seem to be changing alot everyday now 3 plants are now on generative stage with the runt about 2 days behind i rekon

All soundz good man I was going to comment..'Your leaves look very nice and clean' They are certainly loving the LED lighting so far .. I really wanna see how they Flower! Also try placing a Crystal DH under or in the midsts of the canopy the buds are largely what need to be drier (to fight against mould & tighten) how much did it/they cost? How many do you plan to get? How big are they? - STELTHY

Im not sure on the price mate the breadknife got them ill ask her when she gets back. I have just measured the biggest plant and its now 80cm high They seem to be really growing fast now after the initial shock/root damage of me moving them.

I really dont understand why its still saying 64% humidity, could i trim some of the fan leaves away to see if that helps. Whats really weird is the electric dehumidifier has been in there now a few days and its not even half full so about 200ml water, it can shift 300ml a day so i cant see why its saying 64%. It doesnt feel that humid in there either and temps are steady at 21.

Would my placement of the hygrometer make any difference as its right at the bottom of the cab now?

Humidity has been at 65 all day in the flower cab, it hasnt changed even with the lights being on. Electric dehumidifier is just over half full now but the crystal ones are still empty.

I have just ordered a 6" clip on fan to see if that help, ill get some air underneath the ladies

A couple of update pics, humidity is down today to below 60% as the weather isnt so humid. I have been thinking mate what happens if i cant get it below say 60% towards the end of flowering? Will the buds def go mouldy?

Anyway pics, sorry about the quailty i really need a new camera but these cabs have skint me out lol, at least they give you an idea of how much they have suddenly grown, i have found the whole way through the grow so far that not much happens for ages then boom al of a sudden they take off.

They look very impressive so far nice tight inter-nodes I bet ya can't wait to roll some of it up n try your 1st batch ?!!

There's gotta be a way we can fix the humidity levels to stay lower ?! I'll have a think about it and run a few searches on-line. Do you have a window in the room thats always open? maybe we could run the exhaust out-side of the room some where... ?? hmm...

The ladies are growing nicely .. Just a thought.. You could train the main stems to fan/branch out.. This will allow more and better light penetration through the canopy.. and help you achieve some potentialy dencer buds If your interested I'll go into more detail..Its a small job that takes about 20 mins, and is worth it!

What camera are you using at the moment? I use a 14 megaPixel Kodak (Argos jobby) it works well and wasn't all that expensive - STELTHY

Also do you run the DH during the lights off period (night time) ?? Cos it gets more humid during lights off.. Do you run your in-line fan during this time? This is a good idea too... I'll get back to you in a minute (searching now ) - STELTHY

I run tha fan on full in the flower cab 24/7 mate and the dehumidifier, for some reason it doesnt change alot with lights on or off, its slightly higher with lights off but only a couple of precent. I cant understand though if its so humid why the dehumidifiers in there arent taking in more liquid, its taken about 5 days now to get to 3/4 full so about 350ml and the other plastic ones are still empty.

Im hoping this clip on fan blowing some air underneath the ladies will do the trick.

I cant wait to try my first joint of this mate, even uncured will be far better than anything you can get round here and when its cured i rekon it will be the mutts nuts. I cant believe those 2 front plants only have 140 watts over them!!!! I think barring any root damage etc this time ill have 4 big plants in there next batch

Got that A5 Haze today man, its well mad. Ive never had a buzz like it before, its very strong, the guy said its flowered for 20 weeks!!! The creamy morrocon hash is really nice too
