Wondered where yas went Bro.....If yas been doin them tube thingie`s since `08 and the only crop death is what I`m lookin at , then feel blessed......Shit gonna happen...Bet on it....and....
9 times outta 10 it`s stupid ass grower error just like yas just did......
Bet yas don`t make that mistake again and if it took yas losin a few plants ta make sure it never happens again , then they were sacrificed for the greater good......
As far as humidity levels go Bro , I`ve got good news and bad......
If yas`re potentially runnin 8 week cycles/rotations to harvey every week from each cooler then you`ve doomed your fresh planted cuts from the get by droppin RH round 50% to save your older plants from developin airborn nasties/pathogens and I understand.....
An 8 week finishin strain strain needs minimum 24-28 days for the stretch before actual hormone changes and full swellage begins....
70% humidity is crucial to lettin em be all they can be till end of stretch to increase bottom line yields , and then you can drop RH to as close to 50% as yas can get it with so many plants transpiring/ sweatin out used up juice into the room.....so....
Krusty never had problems with powdery mildew and or gray mold/budrot cuz he used sulphur burners and buncha airflow round the warehouses "above and below" the plants , but never on em ta make em sweat more than needed that fucks with nutrient uptake.....and what I was gettin at Bro is.......
Your younger plants are sufferin for at "least" a month before they can deal with the lower humidity levels cuz they just won`t blow up without the optimum conditions , and it`s costin yas in the long run tryin ta keep it down for the coolers that`re finishin so I feel yas.....but...
You could increase airflow around the plants and not haveta worry bout the dehuey so much , and that helps to maintain temps along with the radiator , and for the record.......
The tightest setup I ever saw with fast hydro was with ambient temps in the high 80`s-low 90`s , RH at around 70-80 % till stretch was over , and then 50% till end of cycle with CO2@ 900 ppm`s continuously with tanks and controllers......
Only time I ever saw anyone kill it with CO2 supplement.......ever.....
GMAX....Keep up the good work Bro.....thanks fer the update...
Peace....DHF.........
yeah i know what you mean..since i cant keep it perfect for everything i am aiming for 60% humidity all the time...since i harvest every week it would be terrible to get a disease because it would be really hard to fight without completly shutting down..luckily my Sb mom is a great stretcher but i know that she is probably missing out some by now having higher humidity
my v2 or whatever is gonna be 2 systems a month apart so i am gonna be in the same situation...it just one of the drawbacks
i am just trying to keep everything i can under control..doing things like running the radiator directly from my faucet will lower temps in the room which will lower rez temps and keep roots healthier etc... trying to minimize any variables
thanks for looking out bro
