Do my temp have to be higher?

[cellardwellar420]

Just changed lights to 12/12
Should i put a heater in the room? i have lifted plants 10cm over ground with xps insulatuons

My AirConditioner/heater/hcwac, is sirkulating more heat in the cellar, i just redirected the wents.

The air is dryer outside tent and colder

I am dialing in my flower settings, but i would like to dry it out a little to 48-55%

Temp 67.3fmin- Max 78f

In mother nature, the plant starts flowering when the temperature drops. I think you are just right because a little cool mixed with 78f helps trigger the end of the Season. Cool and dry during flowering time is what I shoot for. Thanks for posting friend, I love your setup.

Thank you for the kind words, i am learning as i go it makes sense, seasons and change well thank you again Creeperpark

They look cold and wet. Though some of the carrots are possibly not working, as the hose is very kinked.


If we look at the nearest pot, both the kinked pipe and some odd stem growth can be seen. The stems are close to going flat. Showing some odd ribbed appearance, as they loose form. I think that is high RH. While the overall colour and range of deficiencies might simply be this high RH and a low temp.

This is pretty much regardless off the meter readings. They seem inconsistent day to day. I can't use them. I do wonder if the aircon is running less at night, and so the RH gets higher. Some people will use heaters to power on the aircon, for it's dehumidifying value. Far better, is to buy a dehumidifier, with a stat on it. It will both dry the air, and warm it. With winter coming for most of us, that aircon will be running less and less, and the heat a dehu~ creates, will be very welcome.



Temp is a huge crop steerer. It's right that cooler towards the end is helpful. I don't think you are there yet though. I think reducing temps before mid bloom, is probably too early.

Nothing wrong with that.

You are right about the waterline. can go a while to dry. But there is good airflow

The weird growth is just some leafs with stem still on

I have a big one dehumidifier outside tent, can i bring a ventchanal in?to blow?

I guess metabolism is faster in hot and moist?

We need light, then temperature. After which comes EC pH and RH. RH and EC balance each other. So neither is more important than the other. Unless it's getting extreme. Your logs are rather unstable, which means that balance can't be found.

I'm not sure when you dipped to 20c, but I would only allow that at night. In the day, I would be wasting my time. Your max of 25c is my minimum. Under LED you should be targeting 28c. Though a couple of C either way, can favour one plant over another, we should consider our breeder found plants that work in their well dialed room.

I'm not sure that piping the dehu~ to the tent would be helpful. It's stat wouldn't be in the tent. There are a lot of variables between grow locations, and so the kit needed. Making advice difficult, without really knowing what's going on. 80% though, would require a high EC. Then 40% an EC about a third of that. All related to the extra water that would pass through the plant at that lower RH. The temp at these times would also effect transpiration, but that shift in EC requirement is extreme, and can't be addressed by changing the tank in most homegrow situations. You should level out the environment.

Ty for your well thought out answer! Will a heater dry out the air?

Or a HPS?
