So much water usage this week! They started the week consuming about 5 gallons per day between the 8 plants. By day 4, they were consuming 10 gallons per day. That consumption caused my exhaust fan to run constantly to keep the humidity down. It nearly drained my tank of CO2, so I shut it off and set it to maintain 77 degrees and 55% RH. I came to the conclusion that I can only use CO2 in veg since it would seem to require some intense dehumidifying in room after they reach flowering size, and I only have enough room to fit a 30 pint which runs constantly and does not keep the humidity down on its own. The big left side plants are growing like crazy, and I am running out of squares in the screen. I had to start some additional training on branches to even out the canopy. Other than that, no problems. So far, so good! Some people have commented on crowding and airflow. Thanks for the input, everyone! Just to add some details about my airflow, I have 4 of the 6" oscillating clip fans. Two above and two below the canopy. There is a dehumidifier running constantly in the middle of the tent that is constantly blasting out warm air. There is an 800 cfm fan/filter recirculating air inside the tent. The 350 cfm Cloudline Infinity S6 exhaust fan runs frequently with CO2 on and constantly with it off with two 6" passive intakes at the bottom of the tent. Additionally, I remove fan leaves when they are crowding. I will do a major defoliation in week 3 and probably raise the screen a few more inches next week since I have a lot of stretching left to do.

I have 6 different relative humidity sensors in the 4x8 tent all near each other. At any one time, they all have vastly differing readings. The lowest reads 50%, the highest is 78% at one point in time. How do I know which one is most accurate?

If they're all different brands then possibly look them up and find the one that's the most "efficient", possibly clean them all and replace all the batteries and see if they get a new reading. Personally if I didn't want to purchase a newer better product I would take the average of all the numbers which would probably be close to 60% RH. Fortunately they're all registering fairly close...no dramatic highs or lows. Good luck with the mystery.✌️

@Mrs_Larimar, I had no idea what to expect from this strain only that I heard several people say it is good for first-timers, and I haven't scrogged before. I wanted to flower earlier, but the right side was much smaller than the left. I think you all are right, and I will need to add some more fans, raise the screen, and keep up on defoliating to make sure my airflow is adequate. I have several fans in there now, and the canopy moves quite a bit, but I'd rather be safe than sorry! Thanks for commenting. 😊

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks! I have a wifi digital microscope. Earlier pics I tried to take by holding it up to the plants. It didn't work very well. This time, I cut off a calyx to get a clear image.

The temperature and humidity will vary from high at the top to lower at the bottom , I would invest in one quality probe rather than the shit cheap ones from eBay that can be 10% out 👍 and personally I think your screen was a bit too close to pits 😜
Xanthur
Xanthurcommented5 years ago
@BigDaddyK, Thanks for stopping by :) I have some cheap ones, one reading from a dehumidifier, one from an AC Infinity fan controller, one of those Inkbird controllers. Another problem I have is electromagnetic interference from the lights. It messed with my camera and at least the AC Infinity sensor, probably the others too. I moved them off to the side of the canopy, and it seems to be more consistent now. I should have flowered a week earlier than I did. The screen on the left side isn't much help now. Lesson learned!
