The First Crop

Plants are looking healthy! Definitely curious how the buds will turn out. 11% humidity is something to worry about, especially if you are planning to dry your harvest in the same room later on. -Frankovitsch

@BrokenCompass Hi there! One obvious option would be to take everything that creates heat out of the room, but I guess you already did ? I know you don't want to spend money, but if you ever manage to get a budget then I'd recommend to switch from HID to LED/SMD. HID produce heat, SMD don't. You should take a look at "HLG", "QuantumBoards", "LM301B" & "LM561C". Hope this helps. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

Thanks for the kind comments. I take a lot or pride in my plants. I'm glad they are turning out so far. Ive been looking for easy ways to increase the humidity however I am a little anxious about raising it as we have had mold issues in the past. I do have a better solution for drying however the space is not tall enough to grow in.

I think im going to try running my heat cycles at night until i can afford an ac unit... luckily where I am its still cold at night. We are planning on moving the whole setup in the fall and have already been looking into LED and COB
