Good day all,
This is my first grow (photoperiod Lemon Jeffery in soil). I posted elsewhere that I've stressed my plants by topping, FIMming, supercropping, defoliating and just generally neurotically picking on the plants.
So, with all the above, my plants and buds are on the small side. But I do have a ton of buds and have reconciled myself to lots of popcorn because of my abuse.
Three questions, though, just to make sure there's not anything I missed.
#1- I can't keep the humidity under 40% . I'm growing in my bathroom and at night with the exhaust fan running, the humidity won't go under 50% unless I put the house thermostat at 64°F, in which case, the relative humidity will go down into the mid to upper 40s. It's well over 100°F every day, but I'm freezing with keeping the inside temps down that low to reduce humidity inside. I know I need a dehumidifier, but my electric bills, between the lights and air conditioning, my funds are more restricted. Anything else I can do for the humidity that won't cost $$$?
#2 question: even though I have 7 gallon fabric pots, I doubled them up because they seemed kind of flimsy and I don't want them to break open. I think that was a mistake because I've never been able to water more than every four to five days, else the soil gets and stays too wet. I don't know what else to do, am I harming my girls with underwatering? They look great , even on day 5 after watering (see today's photo) I'm on day 5 since watering.
#3 question: I think this is not a problem, but many of my leaves have yellow tips and less have brownish spots and edges (see photo).
Any suggestions for this grow or future ones? (Aside from reducing plant abuse). Overall I'm pretty happy, especially considering how much I've harassed the poor girls. I will update this thread with progress until my harvest.
Thanks!
