well its day 77 and they are still going strong. I thought i would be ready to harvest at this stage but a little longer now๐Ÿ˜ƒ changed the light from 2x 300w (hahaha) mars hydro full spectrum lights to a 600w digital HPS. sorry about picture quality, got grow glasses on the way. Anyways happy growing and thank you for following along ๐Ÿ‘

Hey All i am having some trouble bringing the RH down It sits at 70%-75% lights off. Anyone got any ideas to lower the RH on the cheap?? I can get a dehumidifier but i would rather spend on HPS lights

Your better off buying the dehumidifier if your already having a hard time getting the rh down. Putting an hos light in will only increase the heat and humidity due to the increase in transpiration

Hey captain I dont know if this helps, but a friend who does nothing but indoor once told me that getting bud rot is relatively hard, maybe if you were in 100% humidity often. I think if you've got decent ventilation and the air on and around your leaves and buds are regularly moving you should do well. I know its frustrating having to buy more and more equipment, but if you're concerned, just get the dehumidifier for your own peace of mind.

@CapitanKush, Thats great, most places I read don't frown on a 50% humidity level. Also I saw you mentioning another seed germination which is probably perfect, a person on here said they did a harvest and a germination every 3 weeks, all autos of coarse.
CapitanKush

@Experimentgreen, yeah i heard that too. i changed my tent intake up a bit and RH has dropped to 50-65 hope this is going to be enough. Happy Growing ๐Ÿ‘

@CapitanKush, I hope it turns out good for you. I've heard that the autos are sometimes a little more resilient in certain ways so that may help as well.

Hey dude, these are lookn thick and healthy. Good call on keeping the nute sched. Down. Glad u solved ur RH issue. Wish I had that problem as my RH is notorious for being wayyy too low during the winter months. As Long as ur hovering between 40% on the low and 60% on the very high ur in prime territory for flowering. Only suggestion and something to watch out for is airflow underneath the canopy to avoid bud rot. U got a ton of foliage there and think you could see some serious increase in budding if u defoliated some of the larger fan leaves. Itโ€™s not mandatory and contentious with some growers but I saw a massive increase in bud production when I gave my last auto a haircut. If u want some pics for demo purposes I can send em over to ya. Cheers and thanks for the view on mine. ๐Ÿ‘Š

@CapitanKush, ***my bad, meant week 3 of flower in note above***. Nice, lookn forward to the next entry so we can see how they make out! Think u just primed em for a big leap in bud production dude! Lookn good
CapitanKush

@TheBudWhisperer, thank you, you gave me the motivation to go into the tent and defoliate i been putting it off, so i defoliated the girl scout cookies pretty heavy and the gorilla glue only mildly just to see what happens ๐Ÿ‘
TheBudWhisperer
TheBudWhisperer
@CapitanKush, well the โ€œbookโ€ says u can probably take off 20% of lower growth without any adverse effects and Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s true for sure. No issues when I did and big change in buds. Still not sure? Ur in week 13 so Try trimming one back heavy and leaving the rest. Compare to the 2 beside it and see what u end up with.

Those look nice Capitan. As far as humidity issues, my A/C in the house keeps it down in my tent. I am using a 120mm computer fan on a temp controller to help pull that cool air in while exhausting at 200cfm through my carbon filter. You can put a bag of kitty litter or other desiccant drying media in the corner of the room. Just have replace the bag whenever the humidity won't stabilize. Just a thought.

@CapitanKush, I understand thermal dynamics very well, since that is the field I work in on an industrial level. So de-humidification, ventilation, and temperature are my expertise. I no lots of old school tricks for pulling moisture out and have to use them sometimes myself. I was thinking of doing the same thing. I might put a small duct off of my main unit into the tent. Set it up to kick my air on to lower RH. Figure 57 to 60 degree air for about 10 minutes when the RH climbs above setpoint would be enough. As far as the colas....All I can say is wow. Especially since I only have experience in outdoor bag seed grows and we didn't tend them. No nutes just mother nature at her best or worst. I never thought training and defoliating would make them do that. But after reading about it I had to try it. I topped one of them and i know your really not to top an auto and it didn't slow down one bit. In fact it looks like the colas on 4 branches are going to be atleast 12in long. The flowers are starting to close up tighter each day. The stretch has finally come to a hault. LED's are new to me and others so finding the right height was fun. And for cheap LED's they sure seem to work well. I have 2 Wonder Woman and 1 AK48 in veg now under a 4 bulb t5. I'm curious to see how the Wonder Woman does under LED lighting. My next grow I thing I will scrog got to do more studying on that technique. Thanks Capt.

@Newbie_Grower, cheers ๐Ÿ‘ looks like your going to get some nice colas on your girls. i ended up buying a dehumidifier now i get the tent down to what ever RH i want. was more than i wanted to spend but hey

Wow! Looking super good! Trichs are coming in nicely! How did your defoliation go? I probably need to start learning strategic defoliation -- my plants get so bushy!! I'm curious if you have any process you follow to determine which leaves to pull.
CapitanKush
CapitanKush
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, yeah defol went good man, i just took off all the leaves that were blocking other bud sites. i left alot more on the gorilla glue just to see what happens.

Hey brother! Looking good here! I saw your issues with RH... hope you got that resolved. I had dehumidifier, and it was definitely helping. I couldn't get the tent down to 40-45% RH though. If I moved the dehumidifier inside the tent, the heat went up by like 10 degrees -- no good. What I ended up doing was moving the dehumidifier outside the tent, but I used flexible venting (like dryer exhaust venting) and ran them directly to the dehumidifier's intake and exhaust. I loaded it up with duct tape to keep it sealed, and that solved my problem. (If you look at the dehumidifier's intake, you can see a little sensor on there -- that's the humidity level sensor, so you'd want to make sure your flex vent hose is connected right over it to get the most accurate readings.) The dehumidifier is still adding 3-6 degrees to my tent, but that's actually okay because it is still just under 80 degrees. This setup seems to have done the trick and I can get the RH down to just about anything I want. Now, my trick is making some system to cool my DWC reservoirs! How are you keeping these autos in vegetative state for 7 weeks? My autos always switch to flower by week 4 the latest -- sometimes they switch by week 2!
CapitanKush
CapitanKush
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, cheers man its been all good so far. i ended up getting a dehumidifier and put in front of my intake so RH is no prob now and its getting cold where i'm at so the little bit of heats good. As far as the 7 week veg yeah i don't know what happened there but they seem happy.
