You definitely have the green thumb thing working for you. They look so good I'll let it slide about not posting after yesterday's 17 hour day, just don't make it a habit, lol.
Serious, they all look great. Way to go.

Well my day really turned to a shitty day when I got home from work. I went down to check on the girls and do my normal routine and discovered the power had went of this morning after I left for work. That caused the breaker to trip when it came back on so my tent did not run at all today :( After I got everything back setup and going I took the pictures for today. I'm hoping this doesn't cause them a lot of stress and problems like hermies :( I will just have to wait and see. They will only get 2 hours of light today due to this happening.
Here are the pictures.

No worries, the extra dark is better than xtra light, just keep your schedule

It is starting to get lush n thick in there bro. Very nice. I'm sure I dont have to say it but will just in case. You need to address that humidity issue especially once the buds really start to thicken up and get dense. But I think you knew that. Just lookn out.

You are gonna be fine bro. The grow good karma gods are with you. As mentioned not getting a full days worth of light is easier on them than light leaks and other issues that can arise. They should turn out just fine. Great job thus far.

Yeah I still need to figure it out. I'm guessing I will have to get a large dehumidifier for the whole basement. Wasn't really wanting to spend that but may have to.

Thanks for the info on the darkness @ThaDurb707 and @jumpincactus That's one less thing for me to worry about :)

LOL we never stop worrying about these girls. It turns us into nervous nellies for sure. So many details and so many things that can go sideways.

I know some of the light yellow I am seeing in yesterday's pictures are due to them being in the dark for 22 hours but I am also thinking I may need to up the nutes to 50% versus the 30% they are currently on. They just seem to look like they could use a bit more. Also does anyone have any input on humidity and where it hangs in a tent? If it hovers high or low? I think I need to move my little dehumidifier up off the floor just not sure if I should raise it to the top or half way up. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm inclined to think and it's just a thought as I really dont have a scientific explanation. I'm thinking the water vapor would weigh more than air and would hang lower in space. But again I cant say for sure. Maybe someone else will have a concrete answer. What type of ventilation are you using and what is the rated CFM for the fan? With adequate air flow out of the tent I would think you could manage your Rh better. Well unless the ambient surrounding air from where your pulling your air from is a high humidity zone as well.

How is your tent venting set up. Is your intake pulling from inside or outside of your tent? If your in a damp high humidity basement it would not be a good idea to pull from that space. I'm just trying to wrap my head around your setup to assist. My tents have always been in a central AC conditioned space so my air was sourced from drier ambient air supply. A damp basement would propose some challenges. Maybe use a DH in your supply line prior to the air being pulled into the tent. You follow??

I can't remember off the top of my head the cfm rating on the exhaust. I will need to double check it when I get home. But I am pulling intake from the basement which is a high humidity area. Unfortunately it was my only option. I know not ideal but it is what it is lol. My intake is a total of 3 times the size of my 6 inch exhaust. I have 3 intakes currently. I have tried with just 2 but then the tent just about colapses in on itself from the negative pressure.
I was under the impression that the humidity would hold low in the tent due to its weight as well but I had read somewhere that stated otherwise. So that's why I was asking. I am almost thinking my only option will be to get a large dehumidifier for the entire basement to get it under control. Humidity currently swings from 68% lights on to as high as 79% lights off.

@Trucker If your going to reply, it may take a bit for me to get back. I have some outside work to get done before the temps hit 112. So I will be gone for a few hours. See you soon man.

Yes your in a tough spot. Like you mentioned a DH for the entire basement space would be a solution provided you sized it to handle the entire water vapor load in that space. Could cost you some serious dinero depending on the size of the basement. I hope you can get it worked out. Well gotta run before it gets too dang hot.

Well said.. :) Also to note on this it will put off heat when running hard during high humidity so take into account this will increase your intake air temperatures. :)

Hope this helps some and if you can afford an automatic dehumidifier it will save in energy and hassle over the long run. :D

I think humidity is almost instantly equalized throughout.
