First time autoflower and lst

@Gardenguy
I haven’t checked the runoff.
I’m also concerned about the humidity being to low., if so how can I raise it. All I’ve done so far is put a cup of water in the tent.
Was also concerned about this spot

Some concerns about tent ventilization and low humidity. Any help would be much appreciated.:grin:


While you are in flower you want low humidity. I try to keep it at 40% or so in flower to avoid getting bud rot. In veg you want a higher humidity. I wouldn’t worry about that spot at this point It looks like she is close to being Done. The soil will change the pH so getting a run off pH is a good idea so that you are ably to Adjust the pH levels at the root zone where it matters. For your next grow I would recommend a soil that doesn’t have a time release fertilizer and is more weed friendly

Finally got a chance to hang the new light :sunny:

Looks like Scott’s super soil feeds a plant for 90 days. It is also pretty high in nitrogen as @Gardenguy pointed out. Too much nitrogen and there isn’t enough P or K in that soil to develop good flowers. To much nitrogen can lock out other nutrients also. Are you feeding her anything? She looks like she’s finishing up early if she’s at day 48. I would let her finish up and pull any fans that easily come off. If you do another grow, try to research some different soils that don’t have extended release nutrients and are more marijuana friendly.
I agree @Skydiver it does look to be revegged and then returned back to flower.
Autoflowers can be finicky girls.

Shes from seed, I was told nutes can hurt autos more than they can help. But i do have FF nutes.

To close?

Would switching to a temp, humidity, and speed controlled fan be better for future grows?
If so what would be a good one.


Runoff is 6.50

Are you having problems with temp? Whats the distance from top of canopy to the light?Be sure to check trichomes so you will know when to harvest

Id imagine if you run that exhaust outside the room it will help cool it down some. Especially if you are using passive intake (floor flaps open)for the fresh air. Its cycling the warm air back into the tent.

I’ve never seen the filter covering the charcoal filter that black…dark. Maybe it needs washed. Try running it after removing the pre filter and see how what works.
As stated you may want to vent the fan into another room and not into same as the tent otherwise your heating that room and not removing the heat.
What size tent? What size in line filter is that? I had a brand new charcoal filter and returned it because it severely restricted the flow but to it being either defective or sub standard design.

Tent is 2x4x6
6in. Filter

@Skydiver
Hopefully thatll do better.
Just cant get the light to hang in center

Ive got 3 fans running, all floor flaps open, exhaust is going out of room, and veg. light on.
Temp. is 80, and humidity dropped to 37

You can leave the in line fan outside the tent either way…but the whole idea is to have the duct exhaust releasing the air into another room and not in the same room as the tent if possible. Was the pre filter dirty/clogged up with charcoal dust? You’ll want to wash it and then reinstall it on the charcoal filter.
Did removing it help with temps?

Out of room or out of tent?
Haven’t you been running both veg and flower on light?
