I hope everyone is having a great day. Smoke and grow on OGers!

Just give them some more time. Once theyāre back to life it may be good to let them dry out a bit more before you water again in case any root rot happened. It should let the plant prune off itās dead roots so to speak. Itās not that exactly, but you get the idea. If the roots can recover should they have a bit of a strategic drought to help with that.

Youāre welcome! I had to learn that lesson the hard way my last grow and this one too to let it sink inā:rofl:
Hereās my original soil for reference:
The soil I used(after permafrost claimed a lot of the clay) feels extremely loamy once pearlite was mixed in. Lots of little sand particles visible mixed in too. Dries out very quickly. In just 12 hours the soil I mixed up went from this:
To this:
Almost no residue on my hands and I put them down to the wrist in the soil and grabbed a good amount of it before letting it soil out of my hands back into the pot.
The only reason my plants pull through what I did to them was because of the high silt content. It has a lot of mycorrhizae in it, so the plants get some help there too.
Oh yes if the plants have started to droop from underwatering thatās the time to water. I prefer to water first thing in the morning after, but if they look almost dead I wouldnāt risk it and Iād give them water before they fall over.

Now does anyone have a dehumidifier for a small grow tent theyād recommend? I bought this but itās not really cutting it. Thatās what I get for being cheap. Lol.

Whatās your budget? Iām looking for one too. Iāve seen good things talked about the ones with an adjustable control over the humidity. Occasionally one is pretty cheap, but on average itās looking like around 150 for a good one
Hereās one for around 70 I found. Most reviews love it. Letās see if someone else can set us both in the right path if this wonāt work for your needs
Also try the damprid buckets. I used them last grow and it dropped the humidity to the low 20s from high 80s in a day with 4 in a 8x10x10 room.

@OniTenshuā¦ thanks. I might just try that $70 one. Iām going to read reviews and Iāll decide after.

It seems like a good one for the price. The only other decently reviewed ones are 150+. Thereās no option for a hose attachment on this one though. Thereās very few bad reviews. Enough that they redid the description to specify that you have to set the Rh% to below your humidity or it wonāt dehumidify properly or at all. Itās ideal conditions are what you want to grow weed anyways. 80f and 60% Rh. At least until flower when you want to decrease it to avoid budrot or mold issues high Rh can help trigger.

So I decided to go ahead and flip themā¦ fuck it. I think the BBās have gotten big enough. They were all planted on November 8th. Also, Iām pretty positive I figured out what was wrong with moby. I believe, from my research, that its magnesium deficiency. Some tips are burnt, and the drooping of the leaves. Also one of the stems was reddish purple, and their were leaves on the bottom that started turning yellow. And on the bruce banner, the leaves turned yellowish red in one spot. So, Iāve watered with Epsom salt and made a spray solution as well. Happy TGIF OGers. Smoke and grow on.
Edit to say F*** that dehumidifier I bought. Humidity is at 72%. Need one bad but am broke now lol.

I feel that. My budget is practically 0 always. I make do, but the occasional 10 that lands my way every couple of weeks helps me try and save up.
I wish I was healthy enough for a hard-working job. I canāt lay down without pain let alone break my back thatās already fucked up bending over backwards for minimum wage and have no money left and be quickly wasting away. I last 3 months without someone to push me longer before I either collapse or have to quit before I go crazy at work. Once I start to swear at my managers I hand in my 2 weeks. Iām a psycho, so I have to be careful when I get angry like that.

As you can see, moby is looking better now. I hear ya about getting mad though. I have a long fuse, but when I get mad I get really really mad.

Iāve had to make my fuse longer. As a kid it was so short it may as well have been flash paper.

So this day 2 (I think, a lot is going on in my life atm) of them being under 12/12.
It is going well. i watered with nutes and Epsom salt this morning. Iāll see how they respond. Iāve done my part. Time to find some LIFTA and check on them in a couple days. That is if I can avoid the temptation of spending every moment of the day with my girls. Lol.

Ok, so I bought 2 of that moisture reduction bucket of crystals last night at Walmart. My humidity to day has been between 45 and 55% all day, at least the 3 times I checked on them. So, thanks for that suggestion. I do appreciate it. And hereās a pic I think this afternoon. This is day 39 from planted. Smoke and grow on OGers!

Damprid is great though a bit on the costly sideā¦now you have the container and its winter, go buy some ice meltā¦cost ~$1 per pound. There are many brands available and they all work as the main ingredient is calcium chloride
