Looking good hows your air circulation in the grow room fans ect. I like the tower ocilating fans myself. And are you feeding every watering? I just topped a couple and started doing heavy training today. And gave the older ladies a haircut. I gotta figure out a more efficient way of watering it takes to long to get everyone fed and straightened away everyday. Im gonna have a space issue here soon if these babys keep growing at this rate. Im limited right now to less plants bc of the need to run heaters in the tents. Do you plan on super croping or Lollypoping your plants. I see youve done a lil already.
Thanks for the reply @Tyler_Durden88. Yes sir on the fan but need one more on the floor nearest my blue toof. Semi dead zone or minimal air in that spot.
And feeding every watering with my Medina products...Medina plus soil activator with seaweed and Hasta Gro. One dose of fox farms kangaroot 2 weeks ago. Foliar feed every 4th day...the spots on the leaves give it away. Medina has never let me down in my veggie and flower gardens.
In saying that, thinking on holding off on any more manipulation of plant structure. Seems I’m behind? I’ve seen a few sour cracks that far exceed my height and a few Grapey Walters that make mine look wimpy...even though I’m keeping her low. My huge swings in humidity probably aren’t helping. Humidifier on order Monday.
Prolly thinking too much at this point.

Wow you got a lot going on sometimes with all those things going on I'd something happens it's hard to find what the problem is. I just cut big bud out of my lineup. It works great for photos but burns my autos even in tiny doses. And I wouldn't do any cropping until 4th or 5th node. Anytime I've done it earlier the plants stay skinny and flower to early. I have one that got topped by aphids and it's weak and skinny. The leaves at that stage are crucial for growth. Think of them as solar panels to power the plant I usually chop the big fans and lower leaves that get no light for added air circulation through the plant and to help light penetration to bud sites but that's only with extremely bushy strains like bubba kush the grape strains aren't particularly thick and bushy they have big wide fan leaves but not that many of them so I do more tucking than chopping. Autos are risky to crop and lollipop. In can be done but very carefully and rule of thumb is if your unsure about it DON'T do it. It's easier add nutrients then try to take them away and leaves can't be put back but can be taken later on.
hows your humidity? I like to run at 60% using a larger console humidifier I picked up locally used one for $40. Its a big honeywell. When I really need humidity it will suck up both tanks in one day. Thats in a 8x8 tent. When the plants are bigger it sucks less water. And I like Rowenta oscillating desk fans (don't get their tower ones they are not strong enough).

humidity is relative to temp so you need to make sure both are ideal and high humidity during flower isnt good i go 60% seedlings 50% veg and 40% flower. If your growing all stages in same space 50 works just fine. Spending over 100$ on a humidifier is ridicules cool mist humidifiers run 50$ and if your watering daily your humidity shouldn't be that low unless your climate is a dessert. Spraying a little water on the sides of the room or tent does a big difference I only run a 1 gallon humidifier on low to come on with lights when I need to don't over think it you will drive yourself nuts trying to make things perfect when some things aren't that big a deal. And my tower fan was one of the best things I've added in my opinion. And it didn't cost me 100$. And it's running on the lowest setting.

Look I know your trying to give your plants the best and you know what your doing you don't need us telling you how to manage your grow. If you take every piece of advice ppl give you on here you will go in circles. No two grows are the same you know what you need. My biggest advice would be keep it simple do research and don't believe everything you hear. There's a lot ppl on here who are going to try and micromanage your grows and tell you they know what's best. Trust your gut and the best way to learn is through experience. You're doing great.
Thanks man and I hear you on overthinking for sure.
Think I’m going to drink a cold beer, bowl hit and forget about it for a while!!
Appreciate the kudos too.

Dude i live in a very arid climate. $100 for humidity is not ridiculous. Not doing humidity right is basically stupid. I prefer to do things right and that means getting the best tools for the job. You should see my $400 dehumidifier I also use. It's bad ass expensive so you probably don't approve. And I know people that do 70% in flower no problem and its better for it. Just need lots of fan speed, which I have a ton of. Like you said, don't believe all you read. I'm not believing people who say low RH is OK.
