Making preparations…the tap root is getting bigger :upside_down_face:

I put my humidifier outside my tent and it works well esp since I dont have to cover the LEDs to prevent stress. Just ensure you’re using RO so you dont plug up your carbon filter with minerals if you have one. I’m chomping at the bits to start a DWC run. I’ve got 3 girls in week 2 of transition though so will be a while :sob:

I had to tape over the light on the the small radiator and the humidifier but I’m hopefully that a full tank of water and a reptile fogger will take care of any RH issues I might run into…right now it’s super dry in the basement!

I dig I’m fighting like 38% :sob:

Mine is pretty bad with nothing helping it. 30%…hopeful that a full tank of water will really help that

One thing to keep in mind is, when the plant is young it doesn’t need to have so much air exchange in your tent / room.
So for the first couple of weeks, you can just cut the exhaust fan on every now and then. That will give humidity a chance to build up in your room.
Just my two cents worth. :v::+1:t2::sunglasses:

@HappyHydroGrower I gotcha! I have my exhaust fan running at 3/10, just enough for a little bit of air exchange. Im probably getting all worried for no reason, assuming that when 9 gals of water goes in the rez, that will hopefully send the RH up a bit

Yikes…
Something has to give and it ain’t the plants…
Lol
My wife smokes like a house fire , so I tell her to bite the big one if she complains…
But nothing is the same for everyone…
Hopefully you can get her to understand that once you have everything that you need that you will only need a couple of more things… :smiley::rofl::joy::smile::grin::laughing::smirk::wink:

@peachfuzz she was flipping about the fire hazard that a space heater can pose. I couldn’t even get a word in edgewise in between her rant to assure her that I did a lot of reading and research on the type/size of heater I was getting, to ensure I was being as safe as possible.

Shell inevitably calm down and maybe listen to some reason at that point, getting there will be the fun part! :upside_down_face:

Plus I may just ditch the space heater once the lights go back to 18hrs of on a day :innocent:

This is what I recommend to all of my fellow cultivators…


Not sure if this brand is still around , but I’m sure that you can find something similar… :+1::wink:
Your wife is just thinking outside of the box and that’s a good thing… :+1::grin:

I’ve been at this hobby for a minute…
I have had many talks with the misses…
Luckily for me , she smokes like a house fire and dont really say much about what I do…
Unfortunately for me , she smokes like a house fire and is constantly needing more brush for the fire and always thinks she has the best ideas for getting that brush…
It’s a love , hate kind of thing…
I’m still not sure were I feel in this situation…
I just am… I guess… what the hell does that mean…?
Exactly…
Lost in space…
I’m gonna go smoke and think about it…lol
And maybe call the oldlady a dirty name or 2…:man_facepalming::man_shrugging:
Not really… shes spoiled…
Frickin bratt…

I think it’s a thing for most of our better halves of just other halves… lol my wifey gets in her ways a many day and then eventually she comes and assist with the grow. The wifey feels like she is saving you from being blinded and unsafe lol not understanding how calculated and planned out you really are… Ithink sometimes my wife feels like she is the inky one who can come up with a plan lol. But hey… we ready to see the two tents start filling up and the lessons to start on filling em up with just one plant.

She means well. Just flies off the handle at times and takes a few days to be grounded. I’ve just continued on and well see how it goes. I didnt buy all this equipment to be one and done!

My sprout shed the shell today, things are happening slowly but surely. Today ill be filling the reservoir with water and getting the air pump running again! :grin:

Also think it’s about time to start a new journal, a home for this perpetual thing im gonna have going on…
