Please explain further Mr. Wizard.......There is this badass new technology I heard about making a break thru in the growing world with these highly visible indicator lines called a measuring cup...
They dun stoled my product! Positive vibes...There is this badass new technology I heard about making a break thru in the growing world with these highly visible indicator lines called a measuring cup...

DICK!My magicis too strong for you if you dont even know how to use a measuring cup
THX, I use OceanFarm with a 30% mix of Perlite. What do you think the max I can do is 50/50? Whats your Veg temp/RH if you don't mind sharing.....Overwatering doesn't really have much to do with too much water, it is more a result from poor drainage. Roots require Oxygen to thrive, and when you have poor drainage, the water oversaturates the medium and basically just sits there like an internal pond with no air circulation... which turns into no oxygen. I use Promix HP, which holds water well without holding too much and it allows the roots to breathe without going dry. Repeated wilting of your plant is very stressful, so I would try to avoid it if possible. This is why a lot of growers add a lot of Perlite into their mediums, as it doesn't hold water and drains well.
Appreciate ya bro....Perlite is our friend.. even as much as a 40% perlite mix. Also a seed warming mat under your pot can help some combined with a fan.. just a few ideas from a guy who runs into that problem himself quite a bit
If I told you what my temp and Rh are, I'll have a ton of growers telling me that I'm doing it all wrong. Since I'm in the mood for a rumble... my Rh is usually pretty low...maybe 40% max in the summer and down to 5-10% in the winter. I try to keep the grow area about 84F... which is probably why I have low humidity as the incoming air is climate controlled, although no humidity is added during the winter. I've never used Oean Farm or most other soils, I instead have used Promix for the last 30 years or so... but not the general purpose potting soil that they also sell, but instead used the Promix HP or BX... the HP is impossible to overwater.THX, I use OceanFarm with a 30% mix of Perlite.

F the haters..... I'm duplicating your settings right now......Thx bro...If I told you what my temp and Rh are, I'll have a ton of growers telling me that I'm doing it all wrong.

My usual method for checking if a medium holds too much water is to take a handfull of it from the wettest area and squeeze it in my hand. If I get more than a drop or two of water, then it is too wet for my comfort.
I guess the point is that I have never had any issues with growing and have been doing it since the 70s. I was lousy outdoors but a guy showed me the magic of 1000w MH bulbs and things progressed from there. My setup is in a climate controlled building and the AC keeps the Rh to about 30-40% at 70 degrees... move into a 84 degree room and the Rh drops a lot. In winter, the Rh is minimal at 70, static shocks everywhere, an even drier in the grow room. Despite this, I have never had any problems with dryness. When first starting, I might sometimes see the very tips of leaves on the dry side, but once some leaves fill in, they seem to create a microclimate and don't seem to notie the ryness at all. I still get a ton of transpiration but have a high air exchange, so I've never had problems with mold/mildew. It works for me, but it might not work for everyone, since every setup is different. I've sort of refined or dialed in my process over the years and I don't really deviate from it much... why fix it if it ain't broke.F the haters..... I'm duplicating your settings right now......Thx bro...
