dehumidifier are a necesity in coastal south spain and a lot of other high humidity areas. also it gives you perfectly clean water you can use in you nute mix.
avoid having the dehumidifier in same room as grow.
best option is to have the dehumidifier in the area the growroom takes air from. in an adjacent room etc.

Why is that better Bonecarver?

bonecarver_OG
the very dry aiar of the dehumidifier gets mixed with the air, so its softer for the leafs.
a direct blow of dry air damages leafs. it dehydrates.

Wait, the only way I can grow in the summer when it's 40c outside is to use AC and seal the room isn't it? CO2 and all that.
BoneCarver, please tell me if if there IS a way to bring in outside air in southern Spain, then I won't have to use Cooltubes, AC, CO2 or De-humidifiers.

first a lot of ventilation is a necesity also.
im not going to tell you lies, the summer indoors are for the most experienced. its very extreme conditions... bugs profilerate, and plants get really sensitive.
none of the above is necesary if u have good enough air exchange. but if u dont have a basement of something similar to grow in, it is going to get more dificult..
personally i think the cost of the AC is so high it would make the weed so expensive... better look for other solutions.
dehumidifiers are a must.
the air around here is often up to 80% humidity. better drop that a bit if possible. also a big amount of plants breath a lot and make more humidity.
better avoid humidity.

OK Here we go again
I did put all 10 new seeds in Coco Yesterday and Looking for them to Show some Leaves popping up, 8 out of 10 had sprouted before I put them In Coco with A very light Clone X Mixture.
So lets cross our fingers, Did I do Right By putting Clone X in with the new seeds or is there something else I should have done.
My Coco has nothing in it to start out with so Im hoping I have not Fucked Up My Seeds doing This

Thanks for The Info But I Need HELP
Thanks for The Info But I Need HELP
Now I have grown my first Coco and They are doing Well and ready to Trim and dry in 2 weeks. The problem I am having is that the Clones I took of my girls are just not looking very Good
I used Root Tone and A light mix of Clonex in my coco and put them in pint pots under A dome for a week, They looked great at that point, But now they are not doing good at all. When I took them out of the Dome I started them on A 1/2 Mix of Clonex and Rhizotonic, Both at 1/2 Strenth.
Can some one tell me what they do to keep there clones in good Shape. They are under A T5 Light too I just dont no what I have not done but I am hoping that some one here can Take my hand and lead me to good clones.

What is Coco Peat (Coir)?...
and why is it desirable as a soiless growing media? (fyi)

They are under A T5 Light too
The light isn't too bright is it man? I haven't used t5's yet, but I have put cuttings under too much light before they could handle it.

hopefully it does no harm - but seedlings dont really need rooting hormones

dont exadgerate watering with rooting hormones in excess. after the initial dose it is not necesary to use more imho.
make sure clones are WELL rooted before transplanting to coco. also it is VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO SOAK the coco too much at the first waterings.
it is also normal for clones to use their own reserves i.e the leaves for energy while they are rooting.
make sure not to put clones in a space with a lot of air movement the first week after rooted - or if you do -mist them or the surroundingsa to increase air humidity.
clones dont have a well developt rootsystem at all in the beginning and it is important to show them some extra care.
keep fluorecents on a palm and a half of distance at least - or even more. dureing the first weeks of rooting the plant dont need and cant handle too mcuh water nor drought.
