My plants might out grow my space. Any tips?
Wicked_Stixanswered grow question 5 years ago
Hey if your light is already max height then they are definitely outgrowing your space. There are 2 options here. You can cut the tops off or do some supercropping by taking the stem where you want to bend it and gently roll it between your fingers until it softens up enough to bend it over. You will have to tie it or support it for a few days after bending until it hardens up. I would supercrop rather than topping because you wont lose any buds this way. I have had to supercrop a few of mine and it ended up helping in the end because all of those buds that would have been lower on the plant ended up fattening up just like they were all tops. Hope this leads you in the right direction.

Hi, i had that problem in my last grow, i could not flip earlier to flower, because my lights were broken, and my flowering lights to weak..... so i cutted them drasticly down ( more than 2/3) . then i put one part outside, the other plant i supercropped and bend her down... a bigger Light keeps them shorter too. In your case i think your Lights may be to weak for the flower, because they stretch so much. Thats no problem if you know it and can keep your Plant short due LST/ HST/ supercropping or any other training methods. My solution would be:Cut them into a better handling Shape, maybe get another light ( one for each Plant or a much stronger ones for both. For your next grow::: flip earlier to flower, and use trimming methods to keep them small.. happy growing

High humidity with dehumidifier and no controlMy humidity is uncontrollably high at 64%. The plants in there are a mix of flowering, pre-flower and veg. Can I safely close the tent door and just let it all do the thing? I have 2 6" fans one is oscillating and a 4" exhaust fan all at full blast. Will that be safe?

Peltier dehumidifier @300ml per day adequate for 3x3x6 tent? Alternatively, a conventional dehumidifier outside the tent?Peltier thermoelectric dehumidifiers extract 300ml of water per day. Weak compared to compresser units, small and use less energy. Is it enough?
Would a conventional dehumidifier set outside of the tent near the intake be effective, or does it need to be inside the tent to worka year ago

Bud rot! Should I harvest early?I wasn’t finding any mold or mildew except a few leaves until today. Had about 4days of rain and now there’s a bit of rot in every large bud it seems like. About 10 days of sun coming up now, so should I just cut the rot out and wait 1-2 weeks? Or chop now and make hash?

What highest RH safe in grow tentGrowing in soil. Temp around 28-30°C can be more than 32°C
Just got actual humidifier, try to play with it.
More RH will make something rot right? So what is the most RH they can handle.
My target VPD will use maximum of that but afraid of too high RH.

White substance on stem around plant "wound". Is this powdery mildew?The main stem/branch has what looks like an open wound (red circle) and white powdery substance surrounding the area. Is this powdery mildew?
I had already treated with baking soda/water the previous evening (for lack of any other fungicide) so it looks less white than before.

What needs to get tossed? Entire jar/container/paper bag, or Only affected Buds?
This batch, from a single plant, has smelled off. I pulled them from jars and tossed them in a paper bag overnight. Smells better but I saw the rot when looking at buds again.

Bud Rot? Mold? Or safeOne of the branches split during a storm the other day and didn't recover after a few days so I chopped. I'm wondering if the leaves trap moisture in the bud during the days I let it recover. The backside has a brown tint to it while the front looks green and healthy. Srry 4 pics
