Yeah seems like OP dials it back to 80F/70RH in mid flower

It's funny, back when I ran a propane burner I would set my dehuy to like 70%+ so it could keep up with the humidity... My plants exploded with growth. Over like 2hr you could see substantial growth. Loved that but hated the open fire in the grow room... Went to bottled co2, but I didn't get that growth rate anymore and gave up co2.
Since then I've tried different configurations, but had been trying to make 80*/50RH work... Still got results but never quite like when the burner was running. I always assumed that higher temp = faster growth but I always had some real straggler plants I had to wait for to catch up... About a week ago I found this thread and started running 80*/70RH and the growth is like what I experienced running the burner @1500ppm co2. Just a week I already see substantial gains for growth...
Never suspected that humidity was what I was missing. I liked to run 50RH because then I used all the distilled water to water my plants, but this difference is substantial. I think I might add co2 back into the mix and see what happens!
VPD is the truth, for real.

Gotta say, just a day later, that managing vpd is gotdamn Supreme. I haven't seen growth rates like this in my recent ages of <60RH growing. It's honestly stupid how much faster they grow when they have enough humidity to do their thing.It's funny, back when I ran a propane burner I would set my dehuy to like 70%+ so it could keep up with the humidity...

Very good thanks DJ. The idea of water 6x is very good and i think its better 12x for me. I think its like croopsteering. Got the hugest buds ever. But the high UR makes me get mold. But ok i controled with h202 and turned on air con in the last 2 weeks. In next round will turn on the air con to run ate 55% RU in the last 4 weeks.

No runoff what nutrients are you using if I may ask? Also do you think you can get the same results with that strategy using leds?
