Hey man great work so far looking very clean inside that tent. Love the setup, Would it be alright if I tried to help out a bit with some advice? So cannabis plants love heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg & early flower we get more vigorous growth if we exploit this fact. Your humidity for this stage is bang on good. Your temps are just a little bit on the low side. veg and early flower up to week 2 or 3 we go for low 80's no higher than 82. Then begin to walk the temps down to sit around 77 with lights on for the majority of the rest of flower. If we grow buds at low temps we get very caked dense buds but we lose out on size a lot. Buds grown all the way through at temps over 82 will be big but airy and prone to fox tail. They will never have the amount of cake as buds grown at lower temps either. The best of both worlds can be achived with either running 77 max with lights on from the start of flower or if you want to try and capitalize on that bigger bud formations then drop the temps to form them up with density you can do the trick I mentioned above from walking them down from 82. Secondly once your plants finish growing vertically, We want to open up the temp gap between lights on and lights off. In veg & early flower we do not want this at all if we expose cannabis plants to large temp changes of more than 10 degrees less with lights off we cause them to stretch unwantedly. So we keep those gaps tight until the plant is finished its vertical growth, This usually happens by weeks 4-6 of flower. Once you hit that point and you begin to widen the gap between lights on and lights off to beyond 10 degrees it will now signal the plant to put more energy into the budding process and resin production. If you do not have them already get yourself a thermal laser temp gun & PAR meter to get the most potential out of your lights by being able to read your plant tops accurately. Also look up VPD, Vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis. I try to get every new grower using this right from the start, Keep up the great work man never hesitate to ask if you should have any other questions I always am willing to try and help.
