I got the #5 shade and ya, any darker would be too much for my room I think.
The plants are doing well, my humidity has been in the 20's lately. (I set my dehu to run non stop) I guess I went over board when I had bud rot. (I wasn't running a dehu and it was around 60%) (edit: I had bud rot on my very first grow, none sense. Thought I'd clarify, that read like I had rot now)
After the post recommending me getting rh up I def need to get above 30 permanently. Going to try and dial that in tonight. May be a waste of time tho, sense I read the propane burner is going raise it. We'll see how that plays out.
Im preparing for summer early, getting my ballasts out of the room this week I hope, and going to figure out if a window unit will be useable. From reading I see some exchange air, some don't.
On an unrelated note, I've been vegging some ak47 and had 9/11 females. This would be good most times but I expected 5 @ most. Bad planning on my part. I had 2/11 fem from the critical mass, assumed 50% fem rate at best lol.
Anyhow, I've got several phenos, but I have 3 with the tightest nodes I've ever seen. Almost.....too tight, not sure if this would be good with trees or not.
