New Grower Gratefully green husband

[Unique]

I don't sell. In fact this self grown medication is priceless to me. I do share with some of my aging friends who like me live in constant pain. Cannabis is a godsend. The money analogy is one that most people understand so it is a good construct. Of greater value to me is the time I put into a grow. I will never get that back. Wasting time on failures is felt not seen. Harder to grasp than money. So I have no problem spending more on tools I trust more. New growers deserve the benefit of my past experiences even if their time is not perceived to be as precious as mine. I also feel an obligation to the plants and I believe they know that I care. JMPO.

It's all good! I have heard of people having issues with expensive pens also.. for me it just don't make since, If I was to loose a crop do to ph that would be my own fault... I wouldn't be able to blame a pen, since I know my water very well.. I know exactly how many drops to ph to 6.0 w/o even having to check ahead of time...so any failure i would have to take responsibility for, I have plenty of ph pen back up's they are cheap, no reason not to have several....so if something don't seem right I just grab a another pen...

for a sealed tent w/ co2 temps need to be around 90degree

I appreciate your honest opinion and I contemplate all the information I receive very seriously. After all, all I want to do is grow some quality medication for myself and other PTSD veterans who can't afford quality.

If you recommend 90 degrees (I was setting AC at 75 - 80 to keep the temps at the plant surface btwn 80 - 85) what RH would you recommend? I was going to set the dehumidifier at 60%. I acquired a 50 pt General Electric I can attach a drain hose. I ran it at 50% RH for 24 hrs as a test and it filled the reservoir about half way. I haven't turned it on yet because the RH has been ranging from 45 to 65(70) throughout the day without any aid from me. 60% seems to be the veg target and 40 - 50 in flower. I'll have to add humidity during the winter months.

Thanks for your input.

at different stages your RH would be at different levels, veg I run RH around 75-80% w/ temps between 89-92 degree's as plant starts to flower I back down 5% once a week on RH (after bloom already underway) by time the plant ready to finish your rh should be down around low 30% or right around there, I try getting mine down next to nothing...BTW, what you will be using for co2? a burner/tanks/bags? a burner does not work like a co2 bag or tanks would, just so you know... if using a burner you will want a fan blowing from top of tent down toward plants, if using tanks or bags, then you want fan at lowest point blowing upwards... feel free to ask anything related to co2, I'm very good with it and have a lot of knowledge in this area...

hey was there anything in there when you was running it? if not you can count on it filling in half that time with plants inside... I'm just trying keep things real with ya... I really am not trying talk you out of anything, I just want make sure you know what your up against, co2 is actually harder to start with then just an open system, your responsible for everything that can go wrong... me I don't blame other things if something was to go wrong I can only blame me... I been growing long enough if I was to loose something due to neglect thats my own fault...I'm a bit different then some others.... I see myself as the responsible party, if I was to loose a crop to ph or something similar the only person I can blame is me and you'd see me do that too. I'd never blame anything or anyone but me... Unless it's something like the plant refused to flower, obviously that has nothing to do with me that is breeder related...

Yeah, I had the 5 grow bags full of Coco and saturated with H2O in the room.

BTW, I have a VPD chart if you would like one... it will help you keep your temps matched with rh... if your interested let me know...

but no green in them pots right? just coco in them? or even seedlings... once plants are in there with lots of leaves things will change trust me on this...

Thanks @Unique This is the kinda info I have been searching for unsuccessfully. Usually it's general and not so specific. I understand it's specific to your situation and your grow madness but I consider all info and try to replicate what pertains to my situation and see if it works for me or not. I may kill a couple crops before success and I accept that. I'm not going to blame nutrients or lights or anything else. It's all on me. I have to learn to use what I have.
