right now, I am having a humidity problem. Its down around 25%. I think if I added 2 more lights it would get worse. Any thing I can do to get the humidity up?

Why are you so concerned with the humidity? low humidity wont cause problems it high humidity that cause problems

Mono, i have had really low too, and I put a pan of water in there. When there is not humidity the leaves get rough.... Something i bet ozzy has never seen as he always has humidity. Anyway, pans of water, wet towels.. It is not a huge problem.

Well, from what I've read it needs to be between 30-60% best to be 40-50%

So when I see 20's i started to worry.

Yes, I noticed the leafs are curling a little. I started spraying the top soil a couple times a day started doing that yesterday.

Let the plants dry out completely and water as usual. Deep watering...dry period. Don't spray the top soil...that will only invite other problems.. Just stick a pan or two of water in the room.

:yeahthat:

Low humidity very rarely causes problems. Pretty sure THG grows with very low humidity, my humidity in the Winter is around 20%. Never had a problem.

[MoNoXiDe]

Well, I must be an *****, cause I can't seem to post pics on here. I don't even see a image button anymore. I just see the URL link.

Yeah pics make grow journals interesting. And it helps the growers identify problems.
I also have very low humidity in my grow. Right now its at 30. It ranges between 20 and 40. It hasn't really caused me any problems, just a little dryness to the leaves I guess. I didn't even know that was the cause until I read Rosebud's post just a second ago.
It doesn't bother me too much because I know in flowering it will be a good thing. Good luck with your grow!:48:

How do you make them clickable so someone can actually see them?

If the pics you upload are not big enough they won't be clickable.


I upload my pics with a size of 600x800. They show as small pics but are clickable.

I finally got the loading pics. Resizing is on another level

When i resize in paint. i take 30% for re sizing. and that works for me..

 

[MoNoXiDe]

well as long as your giving them the minimum Lum required then i suppose its fine, more helps prevent veg stretch, id go with em all after the 2nd set of leaves is out and the 3rd set is growing in. as long as you dont have a major heat issue from 6 bulbs and are able to keep the fixture close and that they are at least older then a week or 2 theres no reason they cant handle full light.

I went to turn on the 3 bulbs that were off and 1 is blown. wth, I haven't even had that one on yet.

Is there a better bulb I should buy? This one is a spectru... 6500k

mine does go to paint. I see resize on there but it makes it look fuzzy.
