Thanks. Even staying below 50% doesn't seem to guarantee no mold in trees... Maybe more direct airflow / oscillating fans hitting every top would help...
As counterintuitive as it may sound, I've had my powdery mildew problems get worse when driving rh down to 50% or less. I think it actually contributes to stressing the plants and making them more susceptible to attack rather than less so. Even at the end, my rh stays around 60%. Air movement around my plants makes a substantial difference in overall health, not just disease resistance alone.
Ya usually dropping below 50% makes plants more stressed and susceptible to issues.
You're correct, lower the rh more out of range for healthy plant. In most environments to stay in ideal ranges you need above 50% rh- and generally less than 10% shift between light cycles.
You live in the high desert tty? Day night swings like that in a humid part of the country would be a recipe for rot....
How did you have things set up when you were living in the deep south?
Not a tough crowd homie. Nothing but love here.
A tree though is one big ass plant surrounded by a shit ton of lighting. Like 5-6' OC. Lots of vertical lighting with some horizontal lighting as well if possible. IMHO a tree must have vert bulbs to develop lowers.
If it were a horizontal grown tree.. I would say that each plant has to have a 1k over it minimum.
This is my perception of it anyway.
Trees are for people who don't mind an epic powerbill in exchange for a few very well producing plants. I woudl go so far as to say you haven't grown a "real" tree, unless your plant hits the 2#mark.

That't pretty much the idea of a tree to me.
Very interesting tty -- how do you maintain a stable humidity while the temp falls so dramatically after lights out?
Makes sense tty -- tks for clarification. The more I read your posts the more I hear the call of the chiller... :)
Good morning, sir.
I've been thinking about switching my grow style to trees,in coco/airports,lit by vertical hung bare 1k bulbs.I really need to keep my numbers lower.Would this be an effective method running coco in airpots? What would be the easiest way to drain runoff? How long should I veg?should i veg vert or hori?how should I space the the plants and bulbs?what's the best method of training?
I plan on getting started asap,so I need a "tree pro" to help a girl out.:)
Thanks!!!! Im actually prepared to veg up to 8-10 weeks.would that affect the spacing requirements.I imagine it would,depending on strain.I plan to veg the plants while my other set of plants are budding.Most of my strains are 8-10weekers,so i was gonna do 8-10 week veg cycles.is it possible to "overveg" when growing trees?Thanks again for the help.

Ideally how tall do you want the plant to be after stretch and at the end of the budding cycle?
OK now I'm confused!! Lol 1st you said that I can overveg,and that it will hurt my yields,and now you just said to get them as big as I can get.I know its all strain dependant and I will have to learn by trial and error.I jus want to make less mistakes as possible.I'm ready to sum tree huggin!!! Lol
there is an old saying...if you are at 48" then ideally you want your plant to end up around 40" wide and 5 ft tall. What I meant was if you have the space in the flower room, then you can grow them bigger, but you would need to adjust your centers. take a look at the 2 pics I posted above for ideas, and do some research on here. DD's section (mpb buckets) has a lot of good info on spacing and layouts. If you study some threads here you will get all of your answers, and it's a good idea to learn as much as you can about a style before jumping in to it.
