Not bud rot, never had that, but PM. PM spores are everywhere this season! I just don't like to see anything over 50%...it scares me. I think air flow is important though. You RH can crawl up a bit above 50% as long as you are still moving enough air around!
I also like to have more than one hygrometer, because different meters, different brands, and different locations give different readings.
You use hygrozyme in soil? How is that working out for you? I've used it, but didn't see a difference, and it was too expensive, so I gave it up. How does it prevent bud rot?
Bro.....I usedta dump 64 gals on 64-5 gal smartpots in bout 5-7 minutes , and coulda done it lot faster......but ......they were on 4 levels and 4 walls with 1 " cpvc , holes drilled and grommets installed for the fittings and feed tubing ......Fed twice a day late flower with a lil runoff for no residual salt buildup....
The manifolds being vertical , I used 5200 gph pumps for the head pressure with control valves/ballcocks/choke valves on each level to maintain equal flow and pressure to each plantsite regardless of it`s level or location in the rooms , thus why things hadta be slowed down feedwise for equal juice distribution..............
Heathie showed me howta employ a T with an elbow as a bypass right above the overkill pumps to blast juice back down into the rez`s for increased dissolved oxygen while controlling the flow upwards to each level of the angled racks......I did keep a powerhead in the bottom ta keep solution stirred up and kept in suspension between feeds...............
With what you`re runnin now , I see little difference in the feed time sequence using basket stakes or your ring if that`s what you`re askin.....
Good luck SH......DHF.............
i keep my sealed rooms 70-80% RH until the end of week 5 or 6, then drop to 50-60%. i've never had budrot or PM issues. good air circulation is the key. i think the high humidity rooms need watering less frequently too.

SELFHEMPLOYED Id like to ask you one question on the topic of vertical growing... How do the buds furthest away from the bulb flourish? I mean the bulb(s) only cover one side of the plant what about the opposite side where the foliage is against the walls?
Ive asked this question on a few canna forums because Im interested in giving it a go with RDWC.
There is no backside of the plant..
I measured today and the colas furthest away from the light in the upper corners are 28 inches from the bulbs. They are 85% as big as the ones closest to the light at 14inches.
