Im just glad I harvested some before it hit… well I saw one plant that had it starting and chopped most of the colas to open her up for air, and left the rest. that was prob my mistake and should of taken the whole thing then. Well, that and not having humidity control for the room the tent is in.

Yeah, I run a dehumidifier in the room with my tents to control humidity, you’d be amazed at how much water gets sucked out of the air.

We are going for good airflow. We need more testing, but this setup had the tent walls pulsating pretty well. The idea is, if we can get some vortex going on, the air should be moving pretty much everywhere.
I don’t want to have to go through that. It’s rough for your hard work to get thrown away. I hate to hear that SeaMonkey.

Looks like a cool concept! Are the fans AC or DC? Using one power source for all of them?
I have a big box fan at the top of of my big tent, then an oscillating fan mounted on a tent pole, then another underneath the canopy moving air from the intakes. I still feel like a need more… I’d like another oscillating pole mounted one. There was a guy on Reddit that was 3D printing tent pole fan mounts for Holmes 'lil Blizzard fans, but they were more than the fan so I didn’t bite.
Airflow and humidity control are way more important than I thought when I first started growing.

They are DC, and I believe they daisy chained to two power sources. Make sure to use the correct USB power supply for sure. One power source will run 6 fans. He talked of possibly looking at bigger fans at some point.
We were going to set up the anenometer and do some testing, but we’ve been dang busy with all kinds of electrical and sewer problems. Shitter problems this year? Naw! 
My bro in law is badass for sure. It was all him. He even has it set up to easily raise and lower evenly.

Put a 10" turbo fan on the floor and have it blowing straight up.
I’ve never had a mold problem in a tent.

Tell me about it! I am so fed up with emptying my humidifier that I decided to remove a brick out of the wall behind it so I could run its drain out into the shed.
They are some great looking plants you have there.
I can see you have conduit running around your 2x4. I also do that but I like the corner pieces you have. Very neat. Do you know what that piece is called? I can not find them anywhere in my searches.
EDIT: Scratch that. I just found them 
thanks.

Haha yeah, I know what you mean about emptying the res on the dehumidifier… mine runs to a five gallon water jug that get emptied every other day, sometimes once a day depending on how humid it is.
Thanks for the compliments
Just in case anyone is wondering about the corner pieces on the scrog, here is the amazon link. You could probably find something similar at a hardware store. I put mine in a vice or miter box and used a hand saw to cut out aprox. 1/4in, in the back of them so I can pop them over the tent poles. I hold them up with these handy things. Maybe there is an easier way to do it, but this way makes it easily adjustable.

Or you guys could live where I live, running five (yes, five) humidifiers and still can’t get my humidity levels over 41% (and that’s on a “good” day). In a 100 square-foot room, I’ve got three humidifiers rated for 100 square feet, one rated for 600 square feet and one rated for 700 square feet, still can’t get humidity levels up where they need to be. It’s driving me fucking nuts haha. I’ve never seen it this dry for this long before, very weird.

Wow, that’s a lot of humidifiers… my ambient humidity stays about 55-65% so I typically have no problems, once the plants start transpiring in the veg space the humidity hits good VPD levels no problem. Do you have Veg and Flower in the same space? I almost wonder if you could limit your airflow to raise your humidity levels, as the plants will put out a ton of water in a confined space.

Yeah I’m almost wondering if there’s some issue with your RH measuring devices @minitiger. Growing in the desert and arid Rockies, I’ve faced single digit humidity for years but never been unable to raise it with a combination of air flow limitation like IAYYAM said and daisy chaining airflow through multiple spaces and swamp coolers in the dead of summer.
I suspect there’s something else going on. Either way, your plants show no signs of humidity stress, so I think it might be your instruments?
Getting back to this growlog @iamyou_youareme you’ve got massive colas on your hands. That seems to be a defining characteristic of Canna Coco grows that I’ve seen over the years. Dongs! It always makes me feel a little inadequate. 
Do you have any selective pollinations going on in that tent? The Goji x BT really blew up. It’s like the cross took the BT’s nug size and doubled it with some Goji foxtails thrown in!
I’m getting some lemon lime sprite and floor cleaner smells from one of the Pura Vida, but caramel and vanilla, rum and marshmallow from another one, my early favorite. What smells are coming from the Purple Wookie V2? Due to lack of funds, I’ve missed out on almost all of bodhi’s new releases for the last 2 or 3 years, besides what I’ve tested, and I’m curious to learn more!

Nah, it’s not my hygrometers. The veg tent, which is smaller (and I keep the tent door closed even during lights on) has been fine. It’s just the flower tent, I think because I have to leave the tent door open when the lights are on. That, and I changed the carbon filter a few weeks ago. When the “old” carbon filter was in there and crapped out, humidity levels were getting up into the 70’s. As soon as I changed it, they dropped down to where they are now. It’s just the dry-ass air.
Anyway, yeah, like nube said, back to your grow. Plants look good! Haha. That Purple Wookie looks insane, got me stoked about the Purple NL2’s I have vegging right now.

Haha, yeah I don’t LIKE using bottled nutrients, I feel like I’m suckling the the corporate titty, but I can’t argue with the results. Canna nutrients work really well with coco. I’ve tried Pure Blend Pro and Jack’s 321 in coco and have run into issues using standard ratios, but I haven’t ruled them out completely, probably just a matter of spending the time dialing in the correct ratios and amendments… Canna makes it easy, two parts mixed equally and my PH comes out almost perfect. I just found something that works for my situation and ran with it… the grass is always greener though, I constantly think about starting a no-till living soil water only bed… which would be more harmonious with my beliefs.
This round, no pollinations going on. I thought about hitting something with the BT pollen, but gotta do some more test with the BT dad’s before committing to pollinating anything else. I just popped two GMO x BT crosses to further evaluate the BT dad’s…
So far nothing special terp-wise (smells like mint or spearmint, little Goji berry) from the Goji OG x BT’s, but like you said, the size is massive on the one… the one that I didn’t really picture is kinda runty with similar terps, bud structure is different too. I’ll throw up a pic when I bring it down.
I also just popped a ten pack of Useful’s Black Lime Special Reserve f4 and seven are above ground and going strong, 1 stalled out and the other two didn’t germ 
I don’t think I’m going to look for males for this line unless something blows me out of the water.
Yes, the PV1 primarily has the sprite smell, the others are more as you described. Vanilla is a good one that I didn’t think of, but def getting vanilla/marshmallow tones in PV2-4. They are curing nicely. I’m waiting on some camera equipment to come in so I can do some stacked Macro shots of the buds
The Purple Wookie V2 has a strong lavender/floral nose upfront, then you’re hit with the sweet and sourness of grapefruit, but not a super citrus bite, and then the tail end finishes with a new shoe smell or fresh rubber. Very interesting to the brain. Makes me wish I had not have fucked up the other 10 seeds in the pack so I could see how some other girls would’ve turned out. I’m leaning towards popping the Lemon Wookie v2 next round after getting such powerful terpenes from the Wookie, it’s between that and the Baba Kush (bubba kush x ssdd), since I would also like to explore the SSDD dad! I usually try and F2 all my Bodhi packs though, so I want to make sure I have the space to keeps the dads.

Do you leave the door open for temp control?
As long as it’s the flowering tent and you’re in late flower, I think you’d be fine with the lower humidity levels. I wish I could get mine lower after lights off, as mine spikes to 60 or so. Some people do try and run the VPD chart all the way through flower, but in my situation, I’d end up with moldy buds.
Thanks for the kind words! Excited to see those Purple NL2’s!

Yes. Although this year, I think that I could close the tent door and just leave a window open and it’d be cool enough. It’s been really weirdly cold here for extended periods of time, in addition to being very, very dry. I actually haven’t had to open the window as long as I leave the flowering tent door open. Temps stay around 75 degrees. This is the first year I’ve had a separate veg tent, though, and the light in the veg tent runs so cool that if I leave the window open, it gets down to like 61/62 degrees in there. That’s too cold, so… Even with the window closed, temps only get up to around 71 degrees in the veg tent. Crazy. Good light, though, for sure.
I’ve thought about putting a damp rag over the exhaust in the veg tent, just because I think that the exhaust air is contributing to the low humidity levels in the room. Or maybe a damp rag over the intake of the flower tent during lights off. But I don’t wanna soak a rag and then get on a ladder to cover the exhaust port of the veg tent every morning haha. And I don’t wanna deal with a damp rag over the intake of the flower tent. Like you said, I’m getting close to the end, so maybe the low-ass humidity levels won’t be so detrimental. But it’s been like this for almost a month, since about day 30 or so of flower. That’s too long to be dealing with insanely low humidity.
That’s something I’ve been aware of for a long time, that VPD chart. But it seems like just too much shit to worry about haha! I’ve seen people refer to VPD as “bro science” but I disagree. It makes sense to me. It would be nice to have ideal conditions throughout an entire grow, but it’s a lot of work. And a lot of stuff to stress about. I figure, just let the plants grow. Don’t stress too much (I really believe plants pick up on that)(and I swear I’m not a hippy-dippy dude) and things’ll turn out pretty good. I’ve yet to be disappointed in any of my grows, quality-wise. Maybe the yields aren’t where I’d like them, sometimes, but the quality of the smoke is always very good. And that’s all that matters. To me, anyway.

Yeah, you’ll be able to get better humidity control by being able to close the tent door, unless you can control the humidity in the entire room the tent is in. I see you’re running LEDs, so you can probably bring your temps up to 85f or so safely, without negative effects, like foxtailing. Plus if you can close the door, you’ll get a tiny bit more light bouncing around in there… every little bit helps
Yeah, that’s too much work If you’re trying to raise humidity in your veg tent, just restrict the exhaust coming out of it, or cycle the air less often. If your exhausting less air, you’ll also be exhausting less heat which will help raise the temp in the veg area. The plants will transpire plenty of moisture to raise the RH in a tent. Not sure if you have a fan controller or not? I’ve found in veg, cannabis loves it hot and humid (most varieties!), my plants seem to excel at 85-90f and 75-85%rh.
I agree it takes a lot of effort to maintain the VPD. Especially if your veg and flower tents are in the same room. I have my mom/clone tent in my flower room, but veg elsewhere, so it makes it easier to control the environmental conditions of each area. But, as you’ve found out, cannabis is adaptable and can thrive in in various conditions, so do what works for you and your circumstances… and I hear ya, I’d always rather have quality over quantity…

I actually have one of those fan speed things, but I can’t figure it out. I also have (or had, I just threw it out last week) a recycling timer. I was thinking I’d hook it up to my exhaust fan in the flower tent and set it for like five minutes on, fifteen minutes off. Or something like that anyway. But the timer wouldn’t program. It wouldn’t do anything, actually, couldn’t even program the clock.
Anyway, no big deal. Good weed grows good, no matter the environment. My plants are looking good and, like you said, it’s getting close to chop. I’m not too worried about it.

Sunny D Tent - Day 22 Flowering
Buds are stacking pretty nicely on both identical clones. I keep debating removing more foliage, this cultivar likes to put out a lot of big fans… I’ve removed a ton already, though it doesn’t look it. I keep plucking here and there, a couple leaves at a time. Some cultivars seem to do ok with stripping almost all the fans, some seem to suffer… I’m still figuring this one out.
