VPD 0.75 humidity a touch high but ok cause there babies and it is raining
17/3
DLI no change they seem happy
VPD 0.77 humidity ok temp dropped a degree or two
New to this if im doing something wrong please yell thanks
Right everything going as well as can be expected, issues this week
trying to dial in controlling humidity im getting there but can see issues ahead but cross that bridge when i get to it.
What ive found easier is temperature control so ive seen what my tent humidity is then using VPD chart adjusted exhaust fan accordingly.
Ive wind burnt the leaves i put a large oscillating fan in with them next day they didnt look happy.
Ive watered once probably unnecessary but no harm done.

Hiya im using GOLD LABEL Special Mix Light soil and GOLD LABEL Special mix soil and am only watering my babies at the moment i have dutch pro bloom nutrients was wondering when i should start using it and if i needed to get anything else? thanks in advance
I'm not familiary with your soil OR your nutrients but at Week 3, you could be giving her 1/4 strength grow nutes and she would respond nicely I think. I usually start 1/4-strength grow nutes about week 1 or 2 depending on how strong the seedling is... Autos will go into flower around week 4 or 5 and you can start bloom nutes (and calmag if necessary) when they're in pre-flower. But at the moment, these ladies surely need some grow nutes - just introduce them slowly - like 1/4 strength first feed, 1/2 strength second feed, then full strength...
Good luck!
Any advice welcome especially if you have grown the same strains.
Going ok not perfect LST going ok picked of 2 or 3 leaves per plant either damaged or blocking bud sites.
Still only feeding water and they look happy to me

im loving my new hobby :-) im pleased with how its going so far.
Glad i did a lot of research before buying anything having seen a mates slightly cheaper light im glad i went with spider farms.
no sign of flowering yet but i dont mind could end up with monster like plants :-)
oldest plant 5w1day in the pics.
Just continuing LST and picking a few leaves as needed.
Did work out ive probably been underwatering my smallest one i thought i had stunted it with the fan but its possible the fan was drying the pot quicker its only as they started drinking more ive noticed it.
Advice always welcome if anyone actually ever reads this :-)

Hiya my plants are just beginning to flower and have noticed humidity has gone up 4% over the last 2 days ive been able to keep a pretty steady humidity for the last few weeks just wondered if this was connected. Humidity is 66% at the moment which i know is to high.
Ofc it is, the process of photosynthesis involves capturing photons of light within the leaves,
The plant then goes through a process of converting the captured light "energy" and transferring it into chemical energy in the form of starches and sugars, the plant uptakes a little water from the rootzone and mixes it with a little co2 which it breathes in via the backside of every leaf using a million little mouths called stomata. As a by-product of the entire process the plant creates oxygen and water.
Bud flowers themselves photosynthesize although not nearly as efficient as leaves at capturing photons it is still a marked increase in perspiration
Fed dutch pro bloom a + b on the 16/4 2ml each plants looked sad fed bloom cause its all i had plants loved it :-)
Really pleased with the Gold label special mix and the special mix lite soil it got me to over 5 weeks with no additional nutrients.
Humidity spiked 4% as they started to flower added a better oscillating fan and under control
