Whats your water source? My well is pretty stable it shifts a bit if we get a lot of rain but when I lived in the city and had treated water it was all over the map almost every day even with leaching it for 24 hours.

My well water is good. We are over a good aquifer.
My problem is always keeping my rh up. I’m running a humidifier rated for 600 sq” in a 84 sq” room. When I start venting it goes in the crapper. No probs so far but I’ve had issues when it drops to the teens.

Do you grow in a tent? The tent adds some flexibility to a growroom. By controlling the exhaust of the tent, naturally, it will affect the humidity in the tent. If you have to run the exhaust at a higher rate to keep the temps down, then you need to run your lung room at a lower temp.
I don't have humidifiers in my tents. They are in the lung room. I maintain a set temp and humidity in the lung room and fine tune the levels in the tent with the exhaust fan rate. The room is closed off from the rest of the house and receives no heat or a/c from the house systems directly. A/C duct from the central AC is taped off. The make up air mainly comes thru the bedroom door cracks.
Since I have a single pipe portable A/C, it's less efficient and will draw make up air into the lung room. It just means that the ac and humidifiers with have to work more to maintain the conditions.
If it was a two pipe, both the AC and humidifiers would work less hard. The concept is still the same with either system. Maintain the lungroom conditions and it's easy to have a very stable environment in the tent.
How you introduce your intake to your tent air can affect your tent conditions. Since the filter and exhaust fan are at the top and back of the tent, I bring in the air thru a dryer vent hose that comes in the left large vent at the top of the tent and run the hose to the left front corner and down below mid tent. Bringing in the air in this fashion, keeps overall temps more even in the tent at different levels.
I have about the same amount of intake hose hanging in as out. This does two things. Even though I have a ceiling fan going to keep the lungroom air mixed to avoid ant temperature stratification, generally, the lower the hose. lower the temps would be. I have my main humidifier sitting below the air intake hose. It does draw in a lot of from the humidifier. The inlet hose is 4in with an 8in exhaust fan. This does increase the velocity of the inlet air for a much better mixing of the air and takes up much less space.
The overkill 8in exhaust fan helps this work better, more efficient and more quiet than a 6in.

Maybe something here will ring a bell and help you in your particular set up.

Day 49, so WTF #3 is 7 weeks old. I used a 9" diameter hoop made of electrical wire to spread the taller branches to get a flat top. The short branches from node 1 got pulled into the middle, but still don't reach the top. I won't trim the big bottom leaves as long as they keep producing energy. Some of the leaves are at odd angles from training branches. VPD is probably outta whack with RH at 37% and temperature 68°F. The last humidifier wasn't doing much, so I returned it to Home Depot.

Thanks Bill. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’ve learned so much hanging around here, I love it. I’m going to exchange my 2 humidifiers and try to keep temps down in my lung room. The heats coming and it won’t matter, I’ll have to hook up my portable A/C.
These girls are goin the distance no matter what. Lol

Day 50. My biggest Voodoo yet. I started to feed 4x a day and she's stretching rapidly

I must have read PH not RH
Bigger pots would add extra media that could hold more water and wick off extra humidity might help a bit. This is probably not going to help now but something you could consider later.

Week 8 and looking grea.... well pretty good.

Comp Plant - Double Bubble Blueberry Trouble
Getting some signs of possible potassium deficiencies creeping in. I'm hoping she's just hungry since she's going through about 2 gal of water every 2 days. Also looks like some color changes are forming onnthe leaves. Beautiful long flowers building. She's going to be a nice one.

Girl on the side - Blueberry Cheezecake
Slowly building some flowers. A lot smaller and thinner flowers. Tight nodes and lots of leaves. I had to defol a bit because I was seeing some condensation forming between the overlapping leaves. Hopefully get some more light down deep.

Howdy y’all
@Jean-O
Week 7 Day #54 for my Blueberry Cheezecake (and my RBF) competition plant.
She’s really starting to fill in nicely and looking forward to seeing how big they will get in the next few weeks
Gotta say my What the Fuck and Root Beer Float are the stars of the show though. The WTF is at Day #41, a little behind the BBC and RBF but it is constantly making me adjust my light, since it won’t stop growing.
My Hellhound XXL is starting to stretch some now. I removed the panda film and started to watering from the top, since I’m sure there’s something wrong with the bucket system. I got to keep reminding myself that the HHX is way behind all of them at Day #27 !!
Here’s some photos from the last week, grabbed a couple close ups just because lol

Entire room smells amazing and the BBC is getting really sticky fast !!

A little BBC porn

Hope everyone has a great week. Catch y’all in a few days at week 8.

Now at day 54, has picked up speed in its flowering but still a few weeks behind the other plants of the same age. Going to be a challenge keeping up on the feed in the EBjr as she keeps blasting right through each top dress in 5 days! Still dealing with some possible N deficiency, understandable after such a long veg. I count over 30 tops (and no training or topping whatsoever)

Non competition Cream Cheese is shaping up to be my best plant yet! Amazing smell with hints of sassparilla and tangerine/Citrus and something else, maybe sharp cheddar cheese? Super frosty, greasy and looks like it will provide a sizeable yield! Can't ask for much more
