Buds just hang a wet towel for a bit of rh for the little girl, treat her good bro, she is a nice girl :D

Peace :tiphat:


I dunno?

She might end up being a prissy fussy bitch?

They're all nice at the start...

I think I'd rather toughen her up and harden her off.


And if I try to hang a wet towel, I'll probably drop the damn thing on my plant.
Then I have to start over.

KISS... especially when a 65% RH just breeds bugs and mold...

Btw buddy, I tried to let this one go but I can't. That's just wrong. Check my threads, they stay 90% of the time in humidity above 65%RH and I didn't have any problem with mold or bugs because of that. I did have some fungus gnats, but those come to damp soil so I would bot count those as a result of high relarive humidity, or as I call it.. good VPD.
And theres much more than my threads to show that. Anyway, don't be affraid to have proper conditions for your plants to grow in. You just making excuses for keeping them in a dry environment.
Just as I am writing this, here's the environment my plants are chillin in:

OK, I decided to spray the outer part of the planter.
I didn't want to spray near the plant because I drown my last plant.

I also put a wet rag under the table.
It's safe and out of the way there.

I can keep the RH up quite easily this way.

Careful tho. It's not so safe anymore when wet rag or water touches hot glass from bulb.. at least try to not be there looking at the bulb if that happens. (Since you already told us you are accident prone.)

I separated the rag and bulb more.
Now the rag won't fall on the bulb.

The mug is empty.
I don't need to be spilling water on the bulb.

Another lady bug 🐞.
There's all kinds of them out today...

It means there's food for them, look out for (other) bugs, them lady bugs never hang out like homies for no reason. And they mate in May, not November.

Maybe it's the last chance for a feast before dieing/overwintering for them.
Also.. be careful.. I'm sure by eventually bringing in lots of lady bugs, you might bring pests in at same time with one.

I figure that they were eating before I brought them in.
I don't see any other bugs in the closet, other than the occasional soldier fly which are still flying around my house.

It's been 11 days since she broke through the soil.

It's looking like she's got five finger sets of leaves coming.

Well, I did it again.
And I don't think that I can even call it an accident?

I was mixing up more nute solution and I've found that the dry nutrients don't like to dissolve easily, so I put a 500 ml pop bottle full of water in the microwave to heat it up because the nutes dissolve easier in hot water.

I heat the water for 77 seconds but for some unknown reason, I thought it took 777 seconds to heat the water.

After 3 minutes, I checked on the bottle and noticed that the lid looked crooked so reached in to grab the bottle and as soon as I touched the bottle it exploded.

The bottle launched out of the microwave, bounced of a couple of walls in the kitchen and landed on top of my cabinets, all while hosing me down with pressurized boiling water.


It wasn't until after the explosion that I realized that I'm supposed to heat the water for only 77 seconds.

I don't think that I can call that an accident.

And I was sober at the time.
Maybe I need to be wasted to deal with my plant or anything else in life for that matter?

The bottle was melting and is warped all to hell... lol

Man, for real, that is stupid and could have left you badly injured. Plastic bottles are not microwaveabele. Water should never be heated in a closed recipent. And if nutes don't disolve get better nutes. Don't fking heat the water. Also be aware of super heated water, that can be achieved in a microwave. It looks very still and safe but them when you disturb it it starts to boil. I guess you just had a meeting with superheated water. Its good if you aren't harmed.. but maybe you need someone to guard you and make sure you don't do stuff like this in the future..
