i understand what you are saying now about raising the temperature to reduce the RH% .If your meter is reading out as a percentage, it’s reading relative humidity. Absolute humidity will generally be expressed as mass/volume, like grams/cubic meter. I would be surprised if that’s the case, but I get surprised daily. My gut is that it’s meter placement or just a questionable meter. I have had a few.
As a general comment, if you are struggling to keep your humidity under control in your space, you might consider elevating the temperature a couple degrees if you can without getting too far out of range. Warmer air with the same amount of moisture in it will have a lower relative humidity. Because it’s capacity to hold moisture is higher, its percentage of saturation will decrease as the air warms. I have used a few CFL‘s or other tricks to raise my temperature a couple degrees when I want to reduce my rh below what my environment wants to give me. Some times of the year, it’s just a challenge where my grow is located. If I am having any issues with humidity, I prefer it to be warmer anyway. My experience with moist and cool conditions has been very bad. A little too moist but warm and still within VPD, much better. Just my rambling two cents
I have done it both ways. Depending on the space, warming the room where intake air might comes from may be easier. The best way I have found to warm a grow room is supplemental lighting. Usually doesn’t hurt anyway. When I have done it, I used 2 cheap red-spectrum spiral CFL on a splitter hung from a work light fixture. CFLs only have an effective range of about 6–8” so you can hang them fairly high above the canopy if you want the heat but not any additional light. You can also drop them on to any space where you could use a little extra lighting. They do a pretty good job of warming a smaller space without drying out the air and changing other environmental variables.i understand what you are saying now about raising the temperature to reduce the RH% .
would i be better off to raise the temperature in the room i get the fresh air from ?
Thanks very much @Madmax . That’s very kind words from yourself and I appreciate very much . Happy new year mateYou’ve done one heck of a good job Ben .yeah def 2 weeks max.personally I’d probably pull then in 7-10 days as long as those tricks are all milky.that’s your most potent.normally I go to around 10-20 amber as they fatten up swell a little more for max weight.I’m glad I’m not helping you trim.even though it looks like an easy trim,there’s a hell of a lot there lol..
Look at them colas man, Great job
Thank you my friendLook at them colas man, Great jobid have to agree with madmax. 2 weeks at most. Some in 7-10 days, trim jail for a month lmao.
Happy new year brother.
Thanks @Madmax thats a great idea . Would it be ok to put them in black plastic bags and leave it slightly open ?She’s done..the extra leaves left should help them a little.that temps not too bad.I’d have quite a few containers that hold a pound dry just in case it drys too quickly you can cut branches off the stem a ft or so long and just lay them in container till it moistens up then just take lid of for a bit.you could do this for a week till you think it’s dry enough.it’s just an example.one way you can slow it down .I’ve got like 6 containers and cardboard boxes for when my environment isn’t ideal.I even have a big screen I can wet trim and cut buds straight off to dry.they turn out hard nugs on the screen.yours will b nice and firm too with the leaves around the buds while they dry…
Thanks mateNar, you need to seal it so they sweat back up bro..
