So how bad is it if you don't use the humidifier?.......I still don't have one myself.
edit:.... Pulse is telling me it's at 40.2%....temp at 83.....VPD at 2.0......and the buds are still fattening up...

The humidity is high af it's been rainy

Trying to find out from different growers what their DLI is at the start of each grow at the soil level. Any idea what you are running? ppfd also good…
Thanks.

Soil level at start, around 120-250 PPFD at 18/6 for a DLI of 8-12. Although what often happens is I'll start lower, say ~100PPFD and it will stretch a little much for my liking and I'll overcompensate and drive it up closer to 300, which I may regret lol. I think next time, I'll target 200 ppfd from the get-go.

Disclaimer: I don't have a PAR meter. I estimate those readings from two meters: (1) a lux meter in conjunction in with HLG's lux-to-ppfd calculators specific for my lights; and (2) the Photone app. Both measurements always agree with each other, but they're still not true par readings. Either way, this grow I'm utilizing Photone's DLI charts as a "rough" guide for targets based on growth stage. Seems to working alright.

Prolly get a ban? or at least a naughty step?

I just turned the ac off in the room my humidifiers run on controlling so they shut of once they hit a certain level....

There's the issue, you are running a humidifier from the controller. You will need to manually adjust humidity and temp levels for the different requirements between day and night, one serious feature lacking from ACI's controllers and why I babysit mine at dawn and dusk.

What is the humidity in your apt?

They don't ever come on...humidity is so high they stay shut off....

Well, If Jean - O picks me as a tester...it'll mean I got to pay more attention to my tents light schedule and zip it up in the evening and unzip it in the morning........the things we do for science..
