Indoor 1st indoor grow - Green Poison

New Gear

So I was at about 12% Relative Humidity as of today (6 days after planting germinated seed). Below are the girls this morning and the fogy picture is this afternoon after I got the badboy up and running.

about 3PM I raised humidity from 12% to 70% and I have left the humidifier on to maintain. It is quite fogy and I wanted to know if their is any worry about getting the area so humid of any dangers with the bulb or ballast.

The humidifier drops the temperature from 24c to 19.5c. I plan on lowering the light in a couple days so that will increase the temp. I am thinking to start to use a fan at the time I lower the light.

Also, today I watered. This was the first proper water I have done since I (being the noob I am) did not water the medium before planting the germinated seed. So I have been watering with a spoon and keeping the top moist with a spray bottle the last 4 days. But today I PH- ´d rain water to 6.1-6.4 and watered each one about 4 cups full. Water never touched the stem but I got as closely as I thought was reasonable. I plan to not water for at least two days.

I feel that the girls are liking a more humid environment and the water they received today. i will continue to take pictures as often as I can and keep notes of what I am doing daily.

yeah when the humidity is so high you can actually see it, it might be a bit too much. i keep my humidity down around 50% and the plants do just fine.

70% may be a bit too high. You don't want everything all fogged out and moist, especially the lights. Get some more air coming in or a circulation fan in the room(you need this anyway if you don't have one)

Or just turn that humidifier down I reckon

Can't remember what light you have but I am sure you can drop it some it looks as if it's about five feet in the air, which is too high anyway. 18-24 inches for veg and 12-18 inches for flowering. This is the distance from your light to the top of your highest growing plant.

And make sure they dry out pretty good before watering again. Cannabis like a good moist/dry cycle.

update and responce

Thanks! I cut humidity to 50% and lights are about 2ft from the top of the tallest plant. I will lower it again in two or three days about 2-4 inches.

20/4 light schedule
temp is 23c during light and 16-17 during dark hours (i have no control over this... )
humidity @ 50%


SQUIDS! Thanks for keeping in touch and adding your input. I really appreciate it. I didnt like how the room looked at 70% humidity either. A little dangerous. I put a pice of plastic over the humidifier so it puches the cool humid air toward the girls and not up at the light. Nice also, because it cools off the girls so when I dropped the light their was no change in temp.

that is the daily update. Will check back often to see any responses and apply suggestions.

4.27.12 update

So things are looking good. They have not grown a lot since I have watered which is OK. They should be sprouting out in the next day or two and I will not water again until tomorrow or sunday

last night temp: 19c 60% humid
current temp 24c 50% humid

Any suggestions on spraying the girls with a spray bottle or does is that not necessary since I have the humidifier blowing on the girls

btw. humidifier water is ph´d to 6.5

Morning photos attached

Seeing more nods. Haven't watered as the earth is still moist. Raised the light to 85cm as I have seen a bit browning on newer nods. changed set-up again to creat more of a micro-climate. I am now using a water hose with holes attached to a humidifier to manage humidity and I have bout a fan.

Please check photos and let me know what you think.

Night temp 17c and 75% humidity
Day temp 23.4c and 50% RH
