I have noticed that wen I only have my extractor running my temp 25.6 and my RH in 54 which is spot on but as soon as I put the two 6inch fans on that I have inside the tent to get the air moving around my temp goes up and rh comes down why is this? Do I need the fans going at all at this stage I am only 8 days in

If the temps are good without using the osc fans run with out them right now. They are good for creating a soft breeze on oscilate as it strengthens the stem. But the fans are moving the air around in the tent, the heat from the light is getting mixed around and creating the higher temp which in turn decreases the humidity.

As the temp goes up so does the volume of air expand, this means the same amount of water is in a larger expanded amount of air, thus lowering the rh%. As the temp comes down the RH% will increase.

As more leaves grow the humidity will also rise as the plant can use and expel water through its leaves.

Hope this helps @Smokinsammy

We just have to be a bit more discreet in the U.K. @Uncle_Al. Same applies during the war. Just cos you all shouted the loudest doesnā€™t mean you won it :joy:

Not growing atm.

Maybe Iā€™ll dust off the very first of DDocs coliseums to make it into the UK :wink:

Though I might not start with that piece of kit, the numbers of cuts needed make my arse twitch.

UK north east here.
I just use regular store bought compost. I just refrain from using nutrients until around week 5. Currently trying out dwc to see if it meets my needs better. Will save lugging huge bags around and brining attention to myself.
I have a grow diary going at the moment doing a Comparison grow soil vs dwc. Dwc is winning at the moment for ease and growth rate.

I had a break for about a year after just over 20 years growing weed during which i moved to another house/area with differences in tap water, room temps etc. Tried to keep things simple so i used hempy buckets but got root rot because of temperature issues. Went back to compost for a bit there and now iā€™m trying hand watered coco. I say keep it simple, at first anyway cos with so many variables to consider you can sometimes go nuts :grin:
