I'll preface by saying that the members on this site, past and present, have to be the most educated, resourceful, and tenacious group of rebel scum on the planet, and it breaks my little heart to know that over the course of a decade, either for being too stoned or stupid, I've been unable to retain more than a fraction of what I've read here and consequently wind up bibbing up and crying for a bottle on the forums. I sincerely apologize for my stupidity and the forum litter.
I hate to be this guy but, what are you guys actually doin' to control your vpd? My plants never scorch or burn at all for 3 solid months, until the end of stretch, and then they will start showing potash deficiencies from the top down..
My $700 cap xgc humidistat doesn't work for shit. It turns on at "80" and off at "70" regardless of relative humidity, so I'm weary of buying anything that hasn't been tried and tested here at the mag. Are you guys just dialing the onboard humidistat in your humidifiers to a working hygrometer, and manually adjusting every lights on/off? So many questions.. but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I'll just leave this here for now, I can hardly hear my own thoughts over this earache.
Alright.. so, coming back.. The RH in my basement where my tent is, stays around 50% humidity. My tent fluctuates between 55-70% in the 78f daytime, and between 55-60% during the 70f nights. Upper leaf surface temps stay ~82f lights on. Everything always stays uber green and burn free up until the nugs start to do their swelling, and then upper leaves will start wilting and curling. I didn't think I was that far off base. Is it possible that exchanging the 70% rh air in my tent for the 50% rh basement air one minute every 3-4 hours could be the culprit? Is 50% rh really all that low?! I'll have to post pictures later, lights are off.
Sorry if this belongs in the infirmary, I figured someone else maintaining vpd in a small tent might have some valuable insight sizing and controlling a huey/dehuey.
