@Lostgirl this is what I use
How do I keep my humidity at 45? I don’t know too much about this humidity stuff. I bought a baby humidifier from the Dollar tree and put it in my veg cabinet LOL I don’t think it does much but I did it just a try but yeah I don’t know how to tell the humidity and in concerned about that
That’s crazy that it takes your two or three days to drive out. I read about some people watering everyday some people skipping days some people watering two to three times a day LOL but I really thought with my watering once a day especially when I feel the soil the top is always dry before I water it so you know I thought it was ready since the top was dry
You still have white pistols. All those pistols have to mature, turn orange, and receive back into the buds. At that point you’d start checking your trichomes with a microscope camera. Not to mention your buds still have some fattening to do. You still have some time. You’re in week 6 it theoretically takes 8 to 10 weeks +/-
It all depends on the plants appetite and your environment. I’ve had plants that ate every day but I’ve also had plants that ate once a week and everything in between. My point is when you think it’s dry given another day anyway!
You need to learn quick. Your environment is everything. Rest assure your Dollar tree humidifiers doing absolutely nothing for you.
You need to pick up some highgrometers. This will allow you to monitor both the temperature and humidity in your rooms. Also you’re going to need them for your jars and cure bags when you try and cure your weed. I keep 25 of them in hand at all times
You’ll need to get a humidifier for each room that you grow in something like this
You also need to get a dehumidifier for each of your grow rooms. Something like this
Keep in mind. Growing is very easy. It’s just not cheap. If you can’t control your environment you’ve lost half the battle of your grow and should expect nothing but problems

Okay question I would need a dehumidifier and the room that I only veg in?
What do I need a dehumidifier for the flower room and a humidifier for the vegroom?
Example
In your veg area. You’ll need 80° between 75% and 80% relative humidity. If your humidity in your room is over 80%, you’ll need to reduce it. That details having a dehumidifier. If you’re room is 60% humidity you’ll need to raise it with a humidifier.
Let’s say in you’re flower space your humidity is always 80% but you need it to be 50% you will need a dehumidifier to do so. Vice versa on humidity if your humidity is 30% and you need 50% in your room you’ll need a humidifier.
Keep in mind humidity changes with season if you’re going to grow and you know what the humidity is all the time buy what you need.
The bottom line you need to be able to adjust your humidity up and down. You could potentially get away with one dehumidifier.

Okay I’ll get one asap
@Lostgirl I don’t have a 5 gallon bucket yet so I was wondering if I was to go by gallon jugs what are the instructions for the nutrients in Each jug? And I have about a quarter bag of Happy frog soil left over that’s been in my shed, I am kind of scared to mix it in my closet, what if it has bugs in it from sitting in the shed you know. Should I still use the Happy frog? Would it make that much of a difference with me only having a couple weeks left?
As far as the soil goes, no it’s not an important issue. In the future you always want to have them filled. But in this case as you said, there’s not much time left.
As far as the gallons go. Yes, you can mix up three individual gallons. You would technically take the numbers that I gave you and divide it by three so each gallon would get
7.5 ml of Big Bloom
6ml of Tiger Bloom
Just before watering time pH to 6.5
Each girl will get 1-1/2 gallons
Don’t forget to measure the intake and run off both PPM and pH document it and post it here
Once we see the runoff numbers from each girl. We can determine whether or not to increase the feed.
I probably have 30-50 five gallon buckets here at my house. You might want to pick one up in your travels.

Do you have a microscope camera to view your trichomes? Something like this
You’re definitely going to need one. You can find them as cheap as $19 on Amazon be sure that the fitting is compatible with your phone or device you’d be using
Hey I know this is off the topic of my flowering plants and I don’t want to bombard you but I want to show you a picture of my two vegging plants. The one that is topped is a bag seed that went into the soil already terminated on October 1st and the other one is a clone from one of my flowering plants that also went into the soil on October 1st. The top one has been topped twice and they both or transplanted on October 21st. These are extremely small are they not? I started them off in Happy frog and when I transplanted them I had Happy frog on top and ocean Forest on the bottom I’m not sure why they’re growing so slow. I do have cheap lights I have two 19 watt full spectrum LEDs cheap brands and a 180 piece blue square board, not quite sure what it is. Also have a 24 watt t5 above them and also have two more of the cheap 19 watt LEDs for side lighting one in the front one in the back. Just wanted an opinion on this. I am grateful for everyone’s opinion. Thank you
Also, since they have been in these parts I have not watered much, I gave a couple cups of water the first few days when it was dried out and I let it dry out a lot and fully watered it a few days ago and I did put two squirts of pump and grow 3-2-2 and some Big Bloom.
This is a little shelf frame that I put together and put this piece of plywood on top and plan on mounting my cheap LEDs and t5 and blue light on top, I’ll be able to hold four of the 19 watt full spectrums and the blue square and the t5
Also, if you see the box for the LED light on top of the plywood, that is the most recent light that I got a few weeks ago and added it for topside lighting on my flowering plants. Now I was thinking about using this light from my vegging plant feeling like they needed this extra light because this does seem like a decent light especially compared to the 19 watt LEDs. This is a 85 watt Good Earth full spectrum but I also feel like I should keep it in the flower room where I have three of these 19 what LEDs, 225s, 2t8, and a 250 w HPS LOL you know so I’m just trying to figure out my best way to go about this. Probably leave the 85 watt in the flower room and use this piece of plywood to get my cheap lights mounted right and have a better set up you know. All opinions are appreciated!
So this is a big spare room in my child’s room that I was going to clean out and nail a 2x4 to each of the walls and take a piece of plywood or 2x4s or something and run from wall to wall to mount my lights on and use this room. I know I really need to make this upgrade, just don’t have the time. But this should probably be my good flowering room. So until I get that ready I’m going to get this shelf set up with the cheap lights and put my vegging plants underneath until I get the closet set up then move my flowering plants to the new room and vegging plants to the closet. LOL it’s so much and there’s so much to do but I’ll get it but the reason I’m posting this is because I would really love everybody’s opinion on what they would do in this situation. I want to thank everybody once again before I go to sleep
I agree with you they definitely look as if they’re behind.
The one with two branches I’m assuming is the one that you topped twice she doesn’t look too bad. The other one look droopy and pretty unhappy.
I’ve never seen lights like that before. And I’m actually not familiar with them so I wouldn’t be any help with those particular lights.
Seems like you bought a lot of little lights. That aren’t so powerful.
You’ve got a whole room there. Did you ever consider just getting one single good light (like a 4x4 or 5x5) black Friday’s coming you’ll be able to pick one up for under $300
This way you could just simply use a corner of that room have all the light you could ever need plus all the space. Other than budget I never understood getting less lighting and growing in a cramped space. The Grow never seems to produce well.
You can get 4x4 tent for under $100 now days. Or build up one of your corners in that room, add two more pieces of drywall making a box as big as you want it.
Just a thought

@Jayjay504 , @Lostgirl the LED light above looks to be a 2ft Good Earth full spectrum LED.
Sadly the PPFD map is around 250-300 at about 8inches.
@DanB I don’t smoke but I stand inside yeah I use that for additional side lighting in the flower room have it positioned in the middle on an angle. What are you saying about this light? Like compared to my 250 w HPS
