Alternate Perspective

@Vincent_Van_Grogh,it's always a pleasure man :) keep them ventilated and treat them well 😉 😁🦄

@DreamIT, whew!! That calms my nerves a bit. If you have the same RH, w all ur grow experience, then hopefully I should be okay too! Thanks IT! I always appreciate you taking the time!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, No, never heard of it, but I don't rule out that it's possible, you always discover a lot of new things. However, if the area where you grow already has good ventilation, 50-55% humidity is good and you have no problems with mold (this is the average humidity I keep in flowering) 🤘

@homerjgangia, got any advice or pointers on lowering RH at late flower without buying a humidifier? I want to avoid mold/ bud rot but can't get it below 52-55...

@homerjgangia, Day 20 w these ladies. Too early to light defoliation?

@homerjgangia, thanks homer! You too! Hope your girls are well!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, dont worry mate its good enough

@Lacrima, got any advice or pointers on lowering RH at late flower without buying a humidifier? I want to avoid mold/ bud rot but can't get it below 52-55...

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, Hi mate , i would wait at least one more week

@weed__mee, makes sense. I've heard people say dry ice... But sounds more complex... Thanks for taking the time!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh,add a fan and water only when the lights come on

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, haha so you know it's not ice and snow money🤣🤣🤣🤣🤜🤛 and our cars aren't moose🤣🤣. No problem my friend and we will see ya around for sure bro

@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, saw the dehumidi pics! Thanks! I'm familiar with the loonies and toonies bro! Went to UBC for university (I'm not Canadian). I actually blame BC chronic for making me a pothead. Hehe! Grass there is just waaay too good! Thanks for taking the time Randy... See around the chat or so!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, my dehumidifier is about 5 yrs old bro. And I think it was about $150 canadian dollars. Canadian dollars are made of ice and snow🤣🤣🤣🤣

@The_Good_Twin,that's makes sense man! Yeah, so even if it's in this range.. as long as there is air movement I should be good. Will add additional oscillating fan and turn up intake to ensure air is in and out quickly. As long as I see most leaves rustle regularly I should be good then (?)... Whew! *Wipes forehead from relief*

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, An RH of 52-55% should be alright. The research I’ve done says that a RH of 65 to 62 is best for drying once you’ve harvested, and that a RH of 52-55 should be dry enough to prevent most molds from appearing. I live in a climate where my own RH never gets above 55%, but generally hangs around 38-55% depending on the outside weather. In my own opinion, 52-55% RH should be fine to prevent mold from forming. I’m NO expert, but from what I’ve read, you should be fine.

@Nenay, seems like that's the consensus. That I should worry as long as the leaves rustle and air moves freely in the space -- along w high intake fan speed to ensure air is in and out quickly! Thanks man! I appreciate you confirming this!! Hope your girls are doing well!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, I don’t think RH between 49 and 55 is thát bad if you make sure there’s plenty of airflow. You already defoliated so that’s good.

@spyder, got any advice or pointers on lowering RH at late flower without buying a humidifier? I want to avoid mold/ bud rot but can't get it below 52-55...

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, thx

@spyder, thanks man! I hope your girls are growing well!

@spyder, Day 20 w these ladies. Too early to light defoliation?

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, thx

@spyder, hey spyder! Thanks! Hope your girls are growing well out there!

@TrickOrTrip, got any advice or pointers on lowering RH at late flower without buying a humidifier? I want to avoid mold/ bud rot but can't get it below 52-55...

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, its early I think

@TrickOrTrip, Day ~19 w these ladies. Too early to light defoliation?

@Vincent_Van_Grogh,I sure hope it does the trick mate🙏 it worked for me, 55'ish rh and no mold what so ever 🌱🙌

@Cannabeast40, you read my mind! Just about to prop up another oscillating fan in there! This should work with higher intake speed. We shall see! Thanks man!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, if you can fit another fan in there, so it gets really windy, it shoud be fine at 50 ish. and turn up your ductfan might help a couple of %

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, yea man we must to be creative 😁 Tace care bro, wish you good luck 😃🤙

@SeaGrow, INTERESTING! that makes sense from a physics standpoint... Lemme try and see if I can get some dry ice! That's a very creative solution... I would've never thought of that! God bless GD for allowing my idiot grower heard to ask vets like you!!! Thanks for the time man!!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, try with dry rice. Put dry rice in few pots and put that pots with rice around your plants, it is posible to go down for a few percents with that technique 😉✌️

@@Waylate, DampRid, huh? Alright, will definitely look into those... Someone said dry ice... Seems more complex... Thanks for taking the time to advise this noob! I appreciate it!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, I have used DampRid moisture removers, I hung the bags in the tent and used the bigger tubs also. Keep them growing healthy and Good luck

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, I'd probably wait another week or so. You'll notice a bit more of the same growth rate for next 7ish days, and then the plant will begin to stretch, growing as much as 1 inch per day!! Thats a good time to start defol as you'll have a better idea of where the budsites are, and therefore what you need to defol for light penetration! Rule of thumb for me, with autos at least, is not to take more than 4 leaves at a time, and I try to leave 48 hours between clippings. Others go a lot harder than that, but autoflowers are delicate creatures so I tend to err on the side of caution - with everything, defol, nutes, training.

@GreenHillZone, Day 20 w these ladies. Too early to light defoliation?

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, hey, my pleasure! Take all my advice with some salt, I'm still learning too! With regards to deficiencies in general, I don't think there are any you need to worry about for the first 4 weeks or so. There is enough nutrition for the seedling/veg stage in the seed itself, as well as the soil medium. In my experience week 4/5 is when defs begin to show their signs, so if you can be ahead of the curve a bit and apply amendments in the previous weeks you can start to move towards "optimal" growth. I think this instinct will only come with experience, growing different strains in different conditions and working on your "green thumb"! On the red stems/mag def side, that is a sign as far as I'm aware but as above, not in the first few weeks. Late veg/early bloom stage in the case of autoflowers which is all I've grown so far. For instance, my current 7 day old seedling has a red stem but I don't think we can say that's down to a deficiency. Calcium and magnesium are closely linked in their uptake within the plant, as far as I know, and often people have calcium defs which lead to magnesium lockout. Depending on your water source you may have a decent calcium content anyway, so mag defs are less likely to occur in the course of a grow. Soil does tend to be more forgiving on the nutrient side of things as far as I know, but definitely use a light hand with nutes early on. You can always add more, but you can't take it away very easily. Good luck with the grows and thanks for the kind words!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh,sorry bro just seen u asked that. A couple fan leaves won't hurt but will slow the growth for a week or so

@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Day 20 w these ladies. Too early to light defoliation?

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, ya man from scratch. Been a few yrs breeding these

@Island, got any advice or pointers on lowering RH at late flower without buying a humidifier? I want to avoid mold/ bud rot but can't get it below 52-55...

@Island, thanks for sending positive vibes sman! Hope your girls in the island are growing well! :)

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, Unfortunately, I didn't keep any diary for that grow. In fact, I didn't document a single thing from that grow except the yield. Got 246 grams out of two plants.

@love_2_grow, yeah dood... She's very forgiving and fun to try stuff with.. not unlike our first gf... Lol! How are mine faring compared to your TD's? Lemme check your diaries...

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, good man i just updated yesterday, they are turning into some monsters! Hope to see it soon

@Joseman656, probably end of week or so man. like day 28 or so... I've been injuring mine a lot w the last adjustments... How are your girls doing?

@ManosVerdes, got any advice or pointers on lowering RH at late flower without buying a humidifier? I want to avoid mold/ bud rot but can't get it below 52-55...

@ManosVerdes, thanks bro! How are your girls doing? Hope they grow up to be fine ladies!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, Hi, ive found this article about VPD. Maybe it serves you!! https://www.cannabissciencetech.com/view/understanding-vpd-and-transpiration-rates-cannabis-cultivation-operations 🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, Luckely it was only last days. But the drying proces is pretty slow 2 for now. And ive got unwanted visitors installing new counters for gas and electricity, so i had to abort the bloom a bit early.🙄 🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

@Organic_LarF, good point! Hehe! Outside air is definitely a little less humid. So intake is good! Hehe! Yeah, those are pics for master growers and their fat buds of this strain. I'm a noob... I can only hope! Thanks again for the time! Hope the kids are learning a lot a you teach them the green thumb ways!
