Imprint First every grow. Added seeds directly into turbo dirt loving soil. Took about 4 days before they sprouted. But noticed they were quite tall.
Realized that had my light set up 5% as I wasn’t sure what strength to have it on to sprout. Adjusted according to light manual at 60% a day or two later.

Imprint After a lot of reading. I realized I messed up with the light strength. They were looking quite long and lanky so I rigged up some wooden skewers to stabilize and hope they could be recovered due to the tall stretch.

Imprint Removed the stake in hopes the plant is strong enough to stand on its own. So far so good.
Lights are now at 100% and following manual guides.

Imprint Wasn’t really sure when to try some LST so had a crack. Didn’t feel like I was doing it right and need more practice. Felt too early, but did notice the plant moving towards light and new growth sprouting.
Wasn’t sure I was doing the LST well enough so after a few days.l decided to stop and just let it grow. I’ll use this first grow to understand the natural grow phases and LST on my next attempt.
Really struggling with humidity. A month of rain and 80-90% humidity each day has been hard to combat. But the plants look healthy.

Imprint Plants starting to look better. Thicker stems and branches. More leaves and a bit more spread.
Giving a weekly dose of root roids at 1/2 tsp per litre.
They look healthy but humidity is hard to control given the weather.

Imprint Looks like I’ve moved into flowering. Started with a dose of flower roids 3 days after weekly root roids.
Pretty sure the humidity which is still be between 60-75% is causing me issues with bud growth. But not much else I can do right now. So just hoping for the best.
Plants look healthy but not sure what to expect in terms of bud growth.
Any tips / help would be appreciated.
Struggling to keep humidity down given the crazy weather here. Cannot move these inside where there is AC they need to live in my semi open air basement.
How much will the higher humidity impact bud growth?
I have a dehumidifier running already. Only a small one though. I have an oscillating fan circulating air and also an intake fan pumping air in. Exhaust fan up top sucking it out.
High humidity will mold your buds when you get close to harvest. I run a dehumidifier the last few weeks of flower to prevent this. It's a necessary tool if you fight humidity in late flower.
Not too much if its only temp weather...and if its 60% or less then it wont affect growth much at all, but the risk of mold will be quite a bit higher, get a fan, air flow is the best defense against humidity...even if its 70% humidity if the air is moving fast enough then mold wont be an issue, its when there is still moist air that you get issues fast. If you have a fan turn the speed up. Even if plants are gently swaying in the breeze, its fine. Better that than mold right? Air flow will be your weapon here to fight humidity if you cant run AC. Move that air and you will be ok.

Imprint Buds forming, but I’m not sure what to expect. Growth seems to have stalled or slowed.
Plants still look healthy, taking a bit more water than before.
I’ve noticed one of my plants has a few leaves that have curled up on the top and gone really dry. There is also a dark discoloration. Pics attached.
Any advice on what this might be?
More context.
So I think I might have found a contributing factor. My intake fan has been blowing in right onto the side of the fabric pot of the plan with the issue. The weight of the pot was much lighter than the smaller plant next to it. My soil moisture meter reads dry whereas the smaller plan reads wet. I think I might have dried out the soil faster on that side of the tent.
I’ve just given a larger amount of water until the pot felt much heavier and will see if it makes a difference. I’ve also switched position of pots and redirected the intake fan duct to blow away from the pot.
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah I’m using a water only soil with a weekly dose of root roids and weekly does of fruit roids.

Lights are 12-16 inches above tallest plant which is the recommended distance for my grow light.
I will cut back on amount of water for a few days and see if it helps. I thought maybe I was under watering the plans at first.
Imprint Not sure what is happening to the larger plant but many of the leaves are curling and turning brown. Not sure if I’m over watering or not. My soil feels hard and compact and water takes a while to seep in.
I’ve plucked off the dying leaves for now. But not sure what to do.
The smaller plant has no issues other than some yellow leaves at the bottom.

Imprint Rough week. I think I’ve over watered one plant it messed something else up. Leaves started curling and dying and not looking good. Let it dry out for a few days and have been watering light and making sure PH is good. Saw some new green growth but still not great. Not sure if it will make it.
Other plant is turning yellow and buds look good but not quite ready for harvest.

Imprint The taller plant is in bad shape. Plucked off as many dying leaves as I could and I’m hoping for the best. The buds look kinda ok, but not sure if it’ll make it to harvest.
Other plant is close to harvest I think but I’m not sure. Checking daily with a loupe but don’t see much amber.

Imprint Pretty the taller plant is a goner. Hoping it will make it another week or so and try to harvest but it’s not looking good.
Other plan is close to harvest I think but not seeing a lot of amber.
Have tried limited water and increased the space between pot and saucer to see if it helps.
