stv88 just about to sprout. only giving water right now. third one may have been place in rooter upside down and is taking longer to sprout? 1 plant measures 1.5" other is 3"...hope 3" plant not bolting or something. pics at 8 days old

stv88 recently bought a grow tent cuz humidity was getting too bad. Moved tent into the basement which has a dehumidifier instead of having it in the garage. Have a regular fan blowing on it but fan to vent tent better.

stv88 replanted in bigger planters. little concerned fist plant has yellow tint. going to flush with some water and see if it helps.

stv88 added some mag-cal few days ago to deal with leaf yellowing. also bought a pH tester, found water with nutes was 5-6 pH. will now start using tap water as it is 7.1 ph day33, lowered lights a bit closer to plants

stv88 gave a good feeding this week and started to add tiger bloom. almost in bloom phase. tested pH of water, not good, in the 5s. ordered some pH up and will use tomorrow. all the nutes I use bring my tap water (ph7.2), down to 4-5ph. so that is BIG issue, plant looks to have nitrogen deficiency (yellow bottom leaves, red stems). hoping the pH up will turn it around. but not to bad for first grow. nuwbies.... def buy a pH meter asap, even cheap ones can be good!

stv88 defoliated plants as they were super bushie and heat humidity is out of control this week!

stv88 QUESTION-------- I have a small grow tent 2x4x5tall. I have a really good exhaust fan venting to the outside (150cfm). I have a small stationary "clip" fan..... the air coming from the room into the tent is about 45-50rh. I CANNOT seem to get my rh inside the tent any lower than 65%rh!!! I'm thinking my choices are to buy an intake fan and try to Port some air in, OR buy a better small ocsillating fan. I am in need of some advise as I can't fit a dehumidifier in the tent. (sidenote, I've also seen discussion of a "dump fan" setup, would that solve the issue?) no big buds yet. hope they are coming soon!

stv88 week11. buds are growing, but more white things than bud. not to bad for first grow.

stv88 Just using water from now on. Colas are a bit small so I am trying a last effort with deoliation before harvest.

stv88 Think the nodes are almost ready. Hoping to get 1 more week in. As of today some of the colas are getting bigger and making the branches bend! Looks like defoliation may have paid off. tops of the tallest colas seem to be getting a little burned, but I can't move lights any higher.

stv88 plant 1 was look super yellow at top, and hais mostly orange. chopped to part of plant. plant to cut rest soon. plant 2 is doing well and still needs a little more time.
