Quite often, even plants with 90%+ Indica genes get thinner leaves during flowering, so this is quite normal in my experience. It is as though the plant "knows" that by getting thinner leaves during flowering, that it will help pollen get to the flowers, rather than have the flowers hidden under huge, wide, fat leaves. Silica gel will do nothing, ventilation is the only real way of removing excess humidity easily and quickly. I presume you are not running a humidifier, but if so, unplug it, your plants will be just fine without it, they really don't need any extra humidity at all, ever, they are not rain forest plants, but lowland dry season plants in the main. You can still change to dark during the day, just give them an extra long day to change the timing, one extra long day will not upset them, especially now, while they are still in veg. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Hello Orangoman ( cool name ) Yes this is more helpful than you can imagine!! When you have no experience you have no bench mark to go by! I thought they had gone wrong as i also have a purple punch auto & that's short & stubby but has more Sativa content than the black valium plants which have less sativa in them! I will keep my lights on till tomorrow, then go dark in the day & i can turn my extractor way up to regulate the humidity. I will now open every vent, i have 2 left 2 open but ive been using palstic plant pots covered in my birds stockings to stop bugs, i'll have to use another pair lol, i used 2 off her best pairs apparnetly lol ( not happy lol ) but i am now!! Thanks fot your time & knowledge brother!!

Hey Lmg, Thanks for taking the time to answer. I have a systemair silenced revolution fan, GAS powered but i'm running it on a passive intake system, ive put in extra vent holes. I cannot an input fan or dehumidifier due to noise, need as much stealth as possible! My tent is open right now, it's the ONLY way to get my humidity down but i cannot do this 24/7 as i have to turn the fan down at night. next run I'm going dark in the day to comensate for this. I bought these seeds because they are meant to be as near to full indica as you can get, I'm not a sativa smoker as a rule lol hence taking matters into my own hands lol! As long as they look healthy I'm happy! Could i be having these problems because i need a bigger light? Ive got the spider farmer 2000 light but it's meant for a tent half the size i have? Gonna get another one delivered in 3/4 days & daisy chain it! Thanks x
