I am in a garage and had a ac unit… it couldnt… poor thing it tried… I have one now and it pretty much dehumidifies the whole garage when i open the tent up every day. Yesterday it was down to 38% :slight_smile:

here’s a cannabis vpd chart, it is marked clearly so you can understand vpd better, notice the legends suggestions for stages of growth0ccff9207e47281e9ea1e71d0b3b2bba0cab67f3
this one is by far my favorite and is used in many large l.p. setups

Right on, I’ll stick to this 1 it seems better, so I’ve decided to run lower humidity anyway, at over 80 degrees f it’s supposed to be around 70 ish percent humidity… tried it… got a green film on top of soil… so now I’m in 50’s and 60’s and won’t go above for any reason haha :laughing:

try em1 no algae or molds :wink: lol. my room has ran around 65-70% for the last month of late flower clean and serine ,if running LEDs your target is 80-84f and if your setup is complete and we’ll designed ie air ,air ,air you should be fine if u keep clean dont over water and have a solid canopy so not too much light hits your medium you will definitely do best to follow vpd it’s a science for a reason, follow the research of titans they have already done the work so we don’t have to

Is that the same as fish shit??

I’m back up to between 65 and 73… looks better… I changed the cups I had em in… plastic is an enemy lol… I’m also thinking of going w air pots… they seem pretty decent… expensive though

Vpd is about a .90 to a 1.48 depending on if fans have kicked on… temp doesn’t rise above 83 on canopy… but still running lower light not full veg yet… about 450 ppfd

Try fabric pots, they’re cheap and really easy to grow in, good for the roots and easy to judge if water is needed.

Don’t they disintegrate after a while though?

I scrub and wash mine to remove root fibres and they come up like new, and no seam or handle degradation.

Right on , I may go with those then, I’ve heard alot of good things about both

I’d like to try Hempy buckets but for soil I really like fabric pots.

Lol for sure!!!

Controlling environment is more a matter of avoiding massive swings(temp,RH) than keeping it dialed in to pinpoint numbers. Worry about the c02 after everything is dialed in 100%. Unless you’re in a sealed room with temps above 90 your household(people,water heater etc) produce more than enough c02 until you can crank every other factor to max(nutes,light,water)then c02 should be added if that is your last bottleneck of yield. So let’s say you dialed everything in 100% and had 2 very fruitful grows with a certain strain then adding the c02, it will push it up a percent or two but it’s not anything remarkable. Say you change strains for your third grow, everything changes. all the numbers you’re used to pushing will be different and require readjustment. each and every single newly built grow will require some time to get accustom to even for a very seasoned grower so don’t feel bad for killing plants. What kind of stuff you looking for? I just may have some beans you can have for free in that cultivar. Much easier to not care about killing free seeds as compared to ones you spent 10+ bucks on each haha

Yeah man I have been trying to keep things uniform, it’s such a bummer to lose time and plants. As far as seeds, man I am not a picky person… my favorite of all time has yo be white widow, the original white widow… fpog , purple haze, original skunk, like the 1 that makes you so uncomfortable you gotta go home kind of skunk, I love the old school stuff alot. But any good genetics would be greatly appreciated!!! I never expected anyone to give a shit, just complaints from the wife at every fail lol. Pineapple express is another favorite… white rhino as well. Again thank you man … I’ve seen people in other posts sharing and helping each other, can’t wait to be on the helper end instead of helpee end hahaha

You’re chasing some of the ones I’m chasing as well, love some of those early 90’s/00’s strains. Been on the look out for some uncrossed versions of blue dream(I have 1 left of like 40 seed given to me by a OG member in 2003) ,white(rhino,widow),AK-47,pineapple express,Mango,Chem.

Strainly is a great place to find breeders in your area or the Infamous Mark. Hands down one of the best people you’ll do business with and goes above and beyond. Free shipping and you don’t pay until you have the seeds in hand and they’re not priced like diamonds either, he produces 50k+ every 3 months, Was given some of his “Monster Ghost” seeds recently( along with repins "Twisted Chicklet’s auto’s) in a community giveaway ran by @corey and @repins12. Keep an eye out, they’re planned(15th of this month may be a good time to keep an eye out;)) and random ones all the time. I also think @Worcestershire_Farms Has some of his beautiful “Box of Chocolates” left!
I gotta go see my buddy this weekend and he used to run purple haze all the time, He may have a few beans I’ll trade him out of haha and make you a little collection of stuff to try out and see what works in your area with your inputs.

So do you do regs and all that? I haven’t branched into that yet… I have been doing photo fems… figured the control of when to flip is better so I can wait if need be … I’m so confused at the whole breeding or pollinating thing… I’ve read some but still have a hard time understanding f1 f2 f3 bx1 etc… I kinda get it but not really lol
