They're looking a little sorry for themselves in your last picture.Iv notice your temps are low.They need to be over 26 with led,s best at 28.I dont let minnego belowe 27 whic is around 80,I think.I get pale leaves if its not that hot.So much of what people read is written about growing with hid lamps.Its one of biggest differences and took me wks to work out when I chaged over to leds from growing with hid for decades.Iv HAD A HID LAMPS GOING WITH MY 1500W OF LEDS.Its down to the lack of infrared in the leds which means you need high leaf surface tremps.Iv stopped blowing my fan on the leaves as well and now blow it over the top as you still need the air exchanged.Thats the first tim eiv seen the RQS food.That pk booster is nice and mild at 3-5.Most are 9/18 and some are 40/50.They make your buds massive but it ruins the taste.Bending your stalks isnt a problem expecially if its the first 2wks of flowering as they're still doing a lot of veg growing.

With respect to humidity that makes perfect sense, now I think about it, well explained. Yeah I've used temu before so I'll have a look, sounds like a handy little device. I've also been looking to get a fan controller. Had some sun this afternoon so the girls got a nice natural energy boost :)

Higher temps has very little effect on my humidity .The plants are transpiring more but the effect is minimal.The big difference between growing with hid lamps and led,s that lots of people had to get used was the increased humidity and the need for higher temps.Iv recently bought an infrared thermometre to get the leaf surface temp,£10 off temu.You can get a fan controller that does temp and humidity for £30 off ebay which is the cheapest I could see.I'v had 1 of my old hid lamps on with a metal bulb to increase the blue and infrared and to increase temps.Most grow rooms with hid lamps have their extraction on constant but the led,s arent hot enough to do that which is why the humidity gets high.I recently bought a new humidity sensor for my fan controller.I'm thginking about taking 1 of my led,s down and replacing it with a hid lamp for flkower.It will help with the heat as well as bringing some infrared into the room so the temps dont need to be so high as its the lack of infrared that means tghe leaf temos need to be higher.

Might be because I took the pic when they we're in rest mode ?and yeah it's the first time growing these ones so Im just taking it easy, gonna run again with some changes. I was a bit worried for getting to 28 because of humidity and mould, but I know I need to get a timer/controller for the extraction fan so the environment is kept at semi constant, and a fan for the canopy... It can only get better haha. Cheers for the comment, happy to read growers knowledge, it can help a lot 👍
