First off, your grow looks great so far and plant is very healthy! Like you already said, potentially keep your medium specifically the top moistened a bit more can certainly increase the RH directly around the plant. Another option that can work for some people (depends on situation) is reduce the exhaust fan speed to allow humid air to build up a bit longer before exhausting out of the tent. Furthermore like people said, you can put bucket of water, or what I like to do, fill a shallow tray with small rock and fill with water. The wet rock allows more surface area for evaporation to occur, meaning water should enter the air quicker and raise RH. I usually top the tray with fresh water once every day or 2. Last option is what I eventually did to reduce my stress about getting the environment perfect.... (not saying i got it nailed by any means, but this strategy gave me more comfort). I too struggle with slightly dry conditions in my 2x2 for veg (35-45%), and encountered the same problem as you regarding a humidifier causing too much humidity (go figure). For me, it came down to purchasing a couple temp/humidity controllers (Inkbird has some nice ones and not too expensive). For veg, a cool-mist humidifier for babies turns on when humidity gets below 50%, and shuts off around 55%... Although the humidifier turns off, the RH continues to slowly rise over 5-10 minutes, before RH gets above 70% causing my exhaust fan to kick on and gradually bring it back to 55% where it shuts off, and repeats when humidity gets low again. Let me know if any of these tips help, and whatever actions you take I wish you the best of success! :D - GreenGrows

It can totally be done. I have an air purifier in the room my tent is in. It's got an odour filter, so it seems to catch everything the carbon filter doesn't (also catches the stink from opening the tent). My way probably isn't the perfect way mind you, but if you read around, I've seen different methods that all seem logical.

Yes, staggered harvests are possible, but be aware that the remaining flowers will take a lot longer to mature due to the removal of large sections of the plant causing a metabolic shock. Basically, this means there is less plant left to provide energy for the remaining flowers to ripen as fast as they were previously, when the plant was entire. If time is an issue, harvesting the entire plant is your only real option, but if you have time to wait, harvesting the tops and leaving the lower parts longer will be ok. In my experience though, the remaining flowers take 2-3 longer to finish than the expected rate of ripening. The second harvest flowers also never seem quite as good as the first harvested flowers and I suspect that due to the shock of half a plant going "missing", combined with the corresponding reduction in energy production (photosynthesis) and slowed metabolism, all contribute to second rate flowers that just don't have the punch of the flowers from the initial harvest. These days I just harvest the whole plant and deal with what I have got and not worry about "what could have been". Learning from this, it teaches how training your plant, combined with some "lollipopping" can result in a much more even harvest maturity, throughout the entire plant. I have also found that people generally are very happy to receive some free "not quite prime flowers" any time they are offered, especially some one who is a bit down on their luck at that time. It is amazing what some free buds will do to lift a persons spirits!! Otherwise you could make some cannabutter or various extracts with the "not quite prime flowers", but giving it away, really is a good feeling! Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

Are you flushing ? It's just the natural fade of the plant as it comes to the end of its cycle in flower. Nothing to worry about , it's just a lack of chlorophyll in the leaf as she fades out.
