The local climate is dry so I have to run a humidifier to increase RH in to the VPD sweet spot. And I use RO water for that. And for my feed water too. And right now I am using bottled RO water and that can be expensive and involves at least weekly trips to restock. I have an RO filter on order so I should have unlimited RO water soon. But even so I am not sure I can run such high RH. My tent is in a friends garage and we have noticed if we run high RH it affects the integrity of the garage. Once I get RH above 50% we see moisture coming out of the soffets. And my friend doesnt want to see that happen. So I run RH around 40% now which is not something close to the VPD sweet spot.

well I can see your in a bit of a pickle then, your rh is way to low....Are you in a tent? am not sure why 60%-70% humidity inside a tent would cause ya problems on outside? if your climate is dry, then the extra moisture should only help balance things...50% by far is not high enough to cause damage your friend thinks he's seeing...is it possible that being caused from something else? just hard to figure out how humidity so low can cause issues like that...also I don't use ro water, is your water bad or something, is that why your using that ro?

my climate here is usually more then 50% w/o adding anything, so am just confused as to why humidity so low(50%) would cause any damage at all.. damn bro humidity done gone up to 100% many times and I don't get damage like that...

I use RO because city tap water is hard and I get solids on the filter, which is expensive to replace.

Its not imaginary. and maybe it was at more like 60%. We had big ass icicles hanging off the soffets last winter when I ran up RH. And another sign is we can see how the concrete pad takes on a moist look when RH is high. And hell man you could feel it as soon as you walk in the garage.

And that was with me exhausting the tent directly to a vent in the roof of the garage using 20 feet of ducting so it was basically going directly outside. Somehow given the structure of the garage and my tent setup it results in too much moisture.

I'm good with things TBH. My plants look great running 40% RH. There are so many other important factors to dial in and perfect. If I'm not dialing in RH/VPD at least I got the other 90% factors right and the plants look great. And I need my friend to be comfortable with what I'm doing otherwise I won't have a place to grow.

Oh I totally understand when your at someone elses mercy... It is odd though that humidity that low is doing that, mine is well over 50% I vent right into garage (if exhausted outside it would be noticeable would see the warmer air , the other bad part about exhausting directly outside is if it's not being scrubbed well it will be noticed by all...) Many people who vent outside usually use an ozone thing after the scrub part to remove odors getting past filter and trust me there will be some getting through..also how big of in-line fan & extraction fan are you using? I hope your using an in-line fan or booster fan if you have over 20ft of exhaust tubing hooked up...between any corners and just the length itself is greatly reducing what is actually coming out w/o a booster or in-line fan to help..

Hey guy's I decided to go ahead & switch her over to Bloom Nutes, This is My first time using this type so I hope I got it right...I'm pretty sure I do , we'll see after 48hrs ...the ppm seems correct to me for age/etc...Keeping fingers crossed I got this right it's either go or blow :smoking:

Hey Guy's here is another update of my Dinafem Sour Diesel @Day49, So far it seems she is liking the bloom dose I have made up By eye I thought I was seeing the start of a "P" def, I tried to capture on camera but could not find it so possible that was/is from the led it's not the first time I had thought I was seeing something and upon further review it turned out to be the leds...I always double & triple check, so I do feel better knowing I am not seeing on any photo's and I have some pretty close up shots...I won't list what photo's , but if I am missing something please feel free to let me know I'm blind....The vertical growth has now slowed/stopped and we going into bud making..This girl ended up getting pretty big and quite nice looking, another weight record for the books for Unique coming up!! @Azad here's one of my grows.. Enjoy guys! more on Tuesday!:smoking:

I am still not used to the look of them. They hardly have any leaves. I know you didn't defoliate so it must be the genes. I am learning so much right now and from what I know to date I would look at the lack of leaf and say what the hell man how can the uptake lumens with so little foliage?

I'm looking at doing the VPD thing again. you got me rethinking it. I am going to score a dehumidifier tomorrow which I'll run in the garage and it should remove all the moisture I mentioned. So I'll be able to crank up the humidifier in the tent. To maybe 60% RH if I can get it that high. And I'll dial in the temp to match whatever RH I get so its in the VPD sweet spot. Then I'll remove the moisture that the exhaust brings in to the garage structure with the dehumidifier. Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.

One thing about higher RH is the plants drink less. That concerns me a bit because that means they won't uptake as much feed solution. I want to feed my plants lots. But since I jacked up the RH this morning, i can tell the hand watering I'm doing is likely going to decrease.

Do you have that VPD graph handy?

I think you will not regret that decision my friend...

ohh, let me revise I been doing little defo here and there but only recently I think I mentioned on here when I started... I'd have look through here or my notes but think i started like a week to 10days ago possibly? it's been very very little defo though bro, this is very sativa dom... am not sure if ya grown a very sativa dom plant, sativas always always have way way less leaves..
