New Grower Two questions.

[hejdaman]

Hi, i have two questions.

I am wondering how much plants gain weight after week 9? I am thinking of cutting them down in a couple of days. I can´t wait any longer now.

And the other question is about RH? What % RH should i have in my tent?
I got myself a humidifier today, and it´s really cool with the smoke and all that.

Have a good day. /H.

How much weight they will gain depends on how much green is left in the fan leaves. I've had plants that went 11 weeks and put on considerable weight those last two weeks as they use up the stored energy in those leaves.

LOL, you're spending money like a drunken sailor! I would think 50% RH would be good for veg and pre flower. Once they start to bud heavy, drop it to 40% to prevent any issues with mold or bud rot.

I mean no offense by what I say but..... Don't get impatient is the best advise I can give a new grower, we all know it's hard to wait for that home grown goodness, but it is well worth a wait; if you like smoking good weed... If you are harvesting super early then you might as well take the money spent on lights etc. and spend it on some nicely grown chronic...
After 9 weeks most smaller autos should have some sort of potency and beauty, what strain are you growing?

In this case i am growing Lowryder #1. I will wait until the budleaves starting to yellow. I know it´s worth it. This sunday they will be 9 weeks old.

The humidifier was a gift, so i didn´t spend any money on it. But i´m going to buy a dripwatering device next week. I think that it can be good. So the watering runs on a timer, and the plants get the nuts they need, at the right time. And plus i can be away over night also.

One of the LR plants leaves are already starting to yellow. I am thinking that it maybe could be some kind of salt build-up or something like that?

Thanks guys.

Ps. What if the RH% goes up, and down. How should i run the timer? Low amount "smoke" all the time, or high amount every other hour?

 

[Muddy]

Variations in the RH won't hurt unless the swings are extreme. Since you're exhausting your area it's hard to maintain it at an exact level all the time. I doubt you'll need a timer. I'd suggest just setting it at the desired level and leaving it.

Muddy is right,the humity changes ,goes up after watering, down a little when they are dry. I'm afraid that humidifier might make it too humid.

The only real way to see if they are ready is check the trichomes,I prefer them all milky with just a few turning amber.

I like it like that too. Maybe slightly more to the amber. I was thinking of maybe going halfway week 9 to week 10. I got my microscope, and i don´t think
they are ready yet.

Ok. I have it on lowlow humidity now, every other 15 minutes. I have a Hygrometer, and the RH is about 30-40% Is that too high?

target rh range is 50-70 % 30-40 is low... what you're looking for is the range where the stomata open and allow transpiration... plants need to breath to grow... so too dry n they close up (like us dehydrating and stopping sweating) and too high and they can evaporate enough and molds and funguses grow easily...
