Same 😂 though I have hit 100 a few times which wasn’t good. Though I have a load of circulation with fans and I turn air over in a 14x14 every 90 seconds. Seems to work. I live in sub-tropics so humidity is an issue though I negate that with loads of airflow as well.
@John_De..713 it gets 115F in my greenhouse and that's when the girls are growing 2 inches a day. As long as you have great air flow with no pockets of stale air around, the girls will be just fine. My indoor grow much better at 85 then 82 with LED lights
I just replaced 2 4 inch exhaust fans with 1 8 inch vivosun exhaust fan. It made a huge difference in my grow building. I'm able to stay within the vpd range now and my plants exploded. Great info guys ❤❤
With LED about 79-80 degrees veg 65% humidity, Flower about 65% to week 5 then 5% drop each week 6,7, and week 8 to about 50-55% with fat nugs.....Love the content thanks guys
ACI controller and all the other ACI components except for my dehumidifier which is a GE 22 pint for the lung room. My tent never goes above 77⁰ after seedling stage and down to around 73⁰ at night. I keep the VPD levels correct for the stage of growth with humidity or lack there of. It works fantastic! Piece of cake, to many people over think the whole process IMO.
Exactly keep the temperatures around 70 Humidity around 50 - 60 % maybe 70 early on just by placing a wet towel into the grow room and use slow release organic nutrients. Its actually insane how easy it is
This video gave me so much usable information because I have a grow room and a 5x5 tent in my basement. With no environment control my basement stays 67 degrees and 55-65 humidity. I’m running a heater to get to 72 and a humidifier to stay around 65-70 humidity. My grow tent pulls air from my grow room. My grow room pulls air from my return air vent of my house. It comes out of the vent a little cooler than the house temp of 72-75 degrees. But it’s fresh air as I have a big house. I didn’t realize how lucky I was with the conditions in my basement.
The plants we're growing in tents are genetically selected for their performance in constant humidity and temperature, and lights that aren't the Sun. Glad we don't have to deal with HPS heat any more, 80+ was the norm, 70 is so easy to hit now, which is good because it's ideal.
@@ChrisB... I live in the northeast and the harvest with snow flying is always dank solid hearty thick leaf couch lock stinky ...why not let your tent lower temps until you bring out those harsh conditions wich induced fire Terps and soaring highs ?stress in the cold bring out berries and sweet aromas. Just wondering why we try no stress indoor when outdoor is harsh producing dank bud
AC Infinity also has a nice window duct thing. It hooks up to the exhaust of the tent so all your exhaust goes outside instead of increasing the humidity in your lung room. This also helps cut down on your home wreaking like weed, because all those terpenes...
Thank you for the grow tips man I had no idea that you were supposed to have it cooler in flowering. Makes sense though I used to grow in a grow tent in my apartment Back in the day and we Kept the a/c at 68 degrees And the bud had crazy high terpenes.
The most important part of the VPD equation wasnt discussed. An accurate leaf temp is essential in determining vpd. Pulse and the other controllers do vpd estimates. With a cheap laser thermometer and free app you can get accurate vpd readings. When you learn to control the plants temperature, the plant explodes. I aim for leaf temps in the 74-79° range. In flower a couple degrees cooler.
I'm running a 5x5 with a 700watt hlg and a 3x12 closet with a 600 watt fluence light up in a attic and been keeping a 74 to 80 temp and been keeping my humidity at 60 in my lung room and all my girls are thriving and love when i give them recharge
Can I ask what % you run your hlg lights at in flower? I feel my HLG is too powerful.... If i go above 60% lights power it ruins the plants (without co2)
Vivosun makes the automated system also. It's a little less expensive than ac infinity. My first probe was bad, so they sent me another one that works, and it does great. It tells me what the vpd is at all times and lets you set parameters for when the exhaust comes on and shuts off.
I handle my vpd by doing exactly what you said by starting with a room thats comfortable to live in with shorts and a t-shirt. Then add a complete grow tent kit inside the room. The only thing you didnt mention that works better for me is venting my tent outside. If you can't vent it through an outside wall or window then vent it up into an attic or crawl space. If your worried about cutting a 4 inch or 6 inch circle in your ceiling. I found a perfect solution by getting a halo led light that plugs right into the hole 😉should you ever move or take your grow tent down.😊 I'd also like to add that it's much easier having multiple smaller tents than it is going with a large commercial light. As soon as you get a commercial light then everything goes up and you really don't need all that to grow quality. I call it buying a b.o.a.t break out another thousands every time you turn around.
@@ScottyReal420 exactly! I was making a long story short without writing a book in the comments but that is definitely something people should know. I ran mine over to sofit vents exactly how a bathroom vent fan is ran. I'm a very handy person with just about every tool known to man. I'm also an electrician and retired auto glass specialist. However with careful planning it can be done by an average handy man.😊
Thank you so much for all the great vids I keep coming back to this lately I cant understand how the best weed comes from places super cold and wet when vpd says that's awful
Haha der Schlingel hat schon angesetzt. Check Hubey Dünger aus wenn du noch nach gutem Organischen Dünger suchst. Hühnerdung und Batguano produziert ultra Fette Buds stinkt nicht ist slow release also hat man fast 0% Chance für Überfütterung und man muss maximal alle 3 Wochen bisschen was in die Erde tun.
I do very small grows because it just me and a small humidifier and a small dehumidifier is all I need hooked to a controller with a exhaust fan pretty simple setup 😮💨💯🔥🤘
I live in southeast Tennessee and my plants are growing just fine in 90 degrees and 70% humidity. It goes between 85-90-95 throughout the summer and humidity is usually 30-50-70%. I would like to create some sort of cover for my plants though to keep them a little in the shade without covering up too much sunlight. I’m also going to build a 12’x20’ greenhouse that’s 10’ tall at its highest. I’m hoping that will give me a much bigger ability to control the environment. Fingers crossed.
Another great episode. I love how you get right to the meat and potatoes of the meal, your content helps more than you think brother, especially for the newer growers. This shit is gold man and I just wanted to say thanks brother.
Oh no. I’m at least 85 for the first four weeks but usually I run up into 88 range. Then I cool down to around 80. I know it’s not for everyone. But all that is correct. Running higher humidity with higher heat makes them able to use high co2 more efficiently and booms the growth spurt. Giving me max lollipop buds!! Happy growing
I lived in the desert for ten years before that in rainforest I grew the biggest plants I've seen over 11 pound per plant on average they acclimatise after a couple of.years in the dessert ive you scotty😂 great show
I have a full ac infinity set up that I have been using for maybe four weeks and have been keeping my BPD and check with both a humidifier with a max humid percentage of 70. My temperature usually ranges anywhere between 80°F to 85 maxing during the day but at night time I usually drop about 10, 15 sometimes 20° in temperature, but that’s just because I want a more purple plant. My BPD usually stays within 1.00 or within the range of that one point I use the controller 69+ with four Ports my circulation fan, light, and both my in-line fan kits, one for an intake and one for an outtake. Been a grower for about 6 years but recently switched to a more controlled environment with ac infinity I used to just grow in my larger fish tank seeing it’s been empty for years lol
If vpd is right you can kick up the co2 and dli. Peaked and tuned praying almost straight upright. And each cultivar is different. One cultivar may like a different vpd. Some cultivars like dryer vpd other moisture vpd remember the chart is a curve. Some cultivars came from desert growing areas and other from dense humid equatorial areas. The more info you have on the cultivar the better.
I made DIY VPD controllers from ESP32 microcontrollers ($2.00 each) and some solid state relays to turn on humidifiers, fans, dehumidifiers, etc. I have sensors (temp, humidity, co2) in the lung room and each tent, data is stored in a database and is served to a webpage with realtime data and graphs. VPD is dead-on in each tent at all times and all I have to do is fill up the humidifiers every other day, it seems like a miracle! Wish I could sell it, but my software isn't really written for a consumer market.
under 80 in flower for sure. a friend of mine is a large thc producer in the state of wa. Hes always telling me to keep my flower temps at 74 in flower because thats where the first terpenes start to burn off. it seemed crazy low to me.... but i tried it. i feel hes correct. im not sure my nugs were as big as they might have been at 78.... but i think i actually yielded yummier nugs. to be honest ive been keeping them low since then. of course.... back in the days of hps id have never been able to do that. lol
Just got an AC Infinity 4x4 with the Controller 69. I hang the temp/humidity probe at canopy height. Just started some ETHOS Banana Daddy and Night Owl Blue Sirius... just out Day 9. Aiming for VPD level 0.6 - 0.8 during seedling. Generally speaking it's been relatively easy to regulate so far. I'm curious to see how well I can control the VPD level during flower however. So far I like it.
Hi Guys, kinda new to growing but doing my best with 3 x 9l (~2,4 gallons) with living soil. I recently heard that Terpenes dissolve when exposed to >27C° ~80 F, my problem, living in germany, that ac units are kinda uncommon and pricy. My question now, is there any other way than using an ac unit? If it´s the only way, then I have no choice, but maybe some of yall are more creative in this problem than me :D
I moved from a warm attic to a cold shed my plants went from being watered ever 5 - 7 days to at a peak 33 days now I run Gaia Green so that's too long. My plants soil was too cold so the stamata would be closed that left me with very slow growth and pencil sized stems after 80 days in veg not good. So I've added 2 large heat mats set at 76f they are now dry in 4 - 6 days they look happy very happy the only problem I have is the humidity has dropped to 35% so going to add humidity lol can't win.. point is seedlings thrive in those conditions so I'm hoping veg & flower will.. botanical gardens use under ground heating so why don't we for our tropical plants. Thanks Scotty & Gang 👍😊
Not always true.. leaf temps can vary depending on your grow lights. I've had leaf temps higher than room temps with 1000w LEDs & with hps the infa red is absorbed by the leaves which can make the lst sore
Lots of really great information as always ! There sure is a lot to learn about growing indoor cannabis . I never worried about all that growing peppers indoors but I guess i'm only really trying to keep them healthy until they go outside . To be honest i'm always ready for them to go outside lol . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
It got up into the low 80's outside for the first time since I have been growing and I had to fire up the central air. The room with my tents in it still heated up more than I'd like and was pushing 75. This is what I mean when I say I'm making adjustments as I learn. Does anyone use one of those portable AC units in their grow room? It looks like I'm in the market for one to keep outside the tents on those warmer days. I've been keeping the door to the hallway cracked open with a fan blowing into the room and that it helping. I'm thinking along the lines of a $200-$250 budget for a small portable in the 5,000 to 8,000 btu range. Heads up to the perfectionists, $200 up to about $250 is my budget so don't bother giving a sales pitch on another central air unit or redoing duct work. I remodeled my first house in the 90's and put in new duct work, sheet metal through a crawl space using slips and drives, something sheet metal workers will know. These days I'm all about the simplest cheapest solutions that meet the modest needs of my space. I've got a Fast Buds fast flowering Orange Sherbert and a Rum Dosidub auto finishing up and a drying tent full of Trainwreck. These last few days have made it obvious that I'm going to have to take the grow room temps down a bit to balance things out. This video pushed my cheap ass over the edge and convinced me to spend a few bucks. 😀
3 ton mini split and an Anden 320 dehumidifier in my flower room and an ideal air humidifier, and dehumidifier for my nursery with a lung room right next to it to draw cold air from through a mushroom filter for temperature.
In beginning of flower you can run humidity higher in the 60 65 or even 70 temp should be around 75 -77 fans moving air than by week 5 your humidity should be lower
When flowering I run lights at night. Even then it’s hard to keep my temps below 80 in my tent during the summer. It’s normally 82 at the hottest. I do alright I don’t really see a difference during winter when I can keep it colder. I just try to keep it as simple as possible.
VIVOSUN offers the same controller that you mentioned from AC Infinity. I’ve never used any AC Infinity gear, though I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. I just so happened to have started with VIVOSUN and have just stuck with them ever since. That new Evo10 1,000w LED that AC Infinity just released not long ago and the refillable carbon filter sure have caught my eye, though. Might eventually make the switch if they keep making strides in the cultivation industry.
Love the video as always Scotty. I've been using a Niwa Growhub for 3 years and will use it til it dies. It controls temp, humidity, vpd, lights, watering. Easiest upgrade I ever made to growing.
Hi, Anytime I break 60% humidity bad stuff starts to happen. My VPD is rarely on point and I am still super satisfied with my home grown. I dont pay much attention to it.
FlaVUH from Ventana plant science is a product hitting the scene with some amazing terpene production.. it's pricey but a well worth product that is an naturally occurring polymer that breaks down the volatile hyrdocarbons in the root zone, allowing more amounts of micronutrients to be broken down as most micros such as manganese or boron won't be absorbed as much as potassium will be
Silica can help your plants withstand a little bit higher temps and humidity. I just upgraded my light from 250watts (?so it says?) to 400watts, I totally forgot to think about temps changing. So now I'm having to re-tweek everything again. I cannt wait to see the results though!!! I
So Glad they are working out for you! You could always make a Dank nug post on dudegrows.com I would see it there. If you don't have an account, the invite code is: straindependent
All the humidity I can get in early veg 70% temps are 70 naturally with some heater use. Then big lights come out and raise the temps as I roll into April so the temps will go up naturally to 75 to 80. Humidy 50s or 60s. Perks of the central coast. Lights off during the day.
I've had great results since I got rid of the grow tent...my flower room is regulated with a dehumidifier and a wall ac unit...my humidity stays right around 49 and my temp is at 68...the girls are thriving. Why regulate two temp zones if you don't have to.
Im not a grower, but does root/soil temperature mater, if so could you use an element from an electric blanket to increase the soil temp if that was beneficial?
Keep your area clean and not wet old run off water keep everything clean and you'll have less problems that's my first and foremost thing on the chart keeping the area clean uncluttered leaves cleaned up that's the first thing
And I just tell people like this I'm an old school guy sit in the middle of your tent and if you can sit in there for 20 minutes without any problems then your plants are okay that's your sweet spot I mean you can use a meter to measure your light you can use other instruments to measure wattage and stuff but what I say to all people sit in the middle of the tenth read a little article or look at your phone for 20 minutes and if you can sit there without any problems perspiring cold feeling damp then your plants will be okay
Been using recharge for 3 to 4 years now and will never grow with out it anymore and just got my first bag of extended veg grow dots can't wait to see the results popping beans as we speak. Im going to be running fox farm coco loco, extended veg grow dots, recharge and Humboldt's secrets golden tree additive any tips or tricks i should try
Perfekte Temperatur mein ich zumindest nach meiner Schnauze 28 Grad dann hast du kein bisschen dass die terpene verschwindet werden so wie früher unter der ehemaligen natriumdampflampe
Go underneath the leaf the underside of the leaf not the top of the leaf with the Sun is on the bottom side that's where you spray you got to flip that leaf around
Arizona is weird especially since qhere im at it snows and hits 110+ with0%rh,makes it interesting controlling temps etc inside during season changes,and exactly ya gotta lower the room the tent is in,found havin exhaust exiting that room helps alot too
Makes sense thats the old man saying if it makes sense then it is sensible..need too look into this,is it like greenhouse seed company halloand that sold grow tabb and tabbs for floweing..oh are they foir soil hydro coco help us out Brilliant vid
VIVOSUN has a controller as well I have it and it connect with their inline fan and has a app for your phone to set up temp and humidity limit triggers
I use a vpd chart look at my temp and look at the RH for the stage im in and i set accordingly i also keep my inline fan on exhaust to keep rh in check
Right that's why I don't understand why people put leaves in their compost tea because leaves are water water resistant you got a pulverize the leaf before you can get the nutrients out by just letting it sit in water you're not going to get the nutrients out because it rains on leaves
Thank you for the great info. If I’m running CO2 in flower, can the temperatures be a little bit higher I always thought CO2 needed to run with about 79 to 80° temps to be fully affected. Thank you..
Seems to me that led grows needs higher temps n humidity to perform close to hps. These plants are like tropical plants. They love lots of sun n high temps. Yeah 27 28c is optimal but you're better off at 29 30c then 24 25. For terps it s more important to dry in a cool place than grow in a cool place
That's why you got to tell me about these amino acid I got a question if you give it a mean growth amino (tryptophan)acids you have to feed it more am I correct
Hey brother hate to bother you but do you think grow dots are are good for autos that way I don't have to worry about Lock out over under feeding ect? I'm a new grower and trying to make it easier
I run 82-85F and 65% humidity in daytime and 73 and 65% at night from veg to end of flower. Been growing for 15 years and ive never had issues.
Hell Yeah!

Same man sometimes it gets to 93F but my light stays hot and down a fan 44% humidity
@John_De..713 it gets 115F in my greenhouse and that's when the girls are growing 2 inches a day. As long as you have great air flow with no pockets of stale air around, the girls will be just fine.

How dank is it?

Been a grower for about 6 years but recently switched to a more controlled environment with ac infinity I used to just grow in my larger fish tank seeing it’s been empty for years lol
I mean VPD
Ok this guy is legit. I’ve only heard the elites say their temps in flower don’t exceed 70 degrees
If vpd is right you can kick up the co2 and dli. Peaked and tuned praying almost straight upright. And each cultivar is different. One cultivar may like a different vpd. Some cultivars like dryer vpd other moisture vpd remember the chart is a curve. Some cultivars came from desert growing areas and other from dense humid equatorial areas. The more info you have on the cultivar the better.
True
I made DIY VPD controllers from ESP32 microcontrollers ($2.00 each) and some solid state relays to turn on humidifiers, fans, dehumidifiers, etc. I have sensors (temp, humidity, co2) in the lung room and each tent, data is stored in a database and is served to a webpage with realtime data and graphs. VPD is dead-on in each tent at all times and all I have to do is fill up the humidifiers every other day, it seems like a miracle! Wish I could sell it, but my software isn't really written for a consumer market.
That sounds like a DIY that is beyond my skills 😂
under 80 in flower for sure. a friend of mine is a large thc producer in the state of wa. Hes always telling me to keep my flower temps at 74 in flower because thats where the first terpenes start to burn off. it seemed crazy low to me.... but i tried it. i feel hes correct. im not sure my nugs were as big as they might have been at 78.... but i think i actually yielded yummier nugs.
to be honest ive been keeping them low since then. of course.... back in the days of hps id have never been able to do that. lol
Have a Stoney day growmies
Thanks, you as well.
Just got an AC Infinity 4x4 with the Controller 69. I hang the temp/humidity probe at canopy height. Just started some ETHOS Banana Daddy and Night Owl Blue Sirius... just out Day 9. Aiming for VPD level 0.6 - 0.8 during seedling. Generally speaking it's been relatively easy to regulate so far. I'm curious to see how well I can control the VPD level during flower however. So far I like it.
Hi Guys,
kinda new to growing but doing my best with 3 x 9l (~2,4 gallons) with living soil.
I recently heard that Terpenes dissolve when exposed to >27C° ~80 F, my problem, living in germany, that ac units are kinda uncommon and pricy.
My question now, is there any other way than using an ac unit? If it´s the only way, then I have no choice, but maybe some of yall are more creative in this problem than me :D
I moved from a warm attic to a cold shed my plants went from being watered ever 5 - 7 days to at a peak 33 days now I run Gaia Green so that's too long. My plants soil was too cold so the stamata would be closed that left me with very slow growth and pencil sized stems after 80 days in veg not good. So I've added 2 large heat mats set at 76f they are now dry in 4 - 6 days they look happy very happy the only problem I have is the humidity has dropped to 35% so going to add humidity lol can't win.. point is seedlings thrive in those conditions so I'm hoping veg & flower will.. botanical gardens use under ground heating so why don't we for our tropical plants. Thanks Scotty & Gang 👍😊
Great question, thanks for sharing.
It's important to calculate VPD with leaf temperature. Leaf temperature is typically about 5°f less than room temperature.
very true.
Not always true.. leaf temps can vary depending on your grow lights. I've had leaf temps higher than room temps with 1000w LEDs & with hps the infa red is absorbed by the leaves which can make the lst sore
Lots of really great information as always ! There sure is a lot to learn about growing indoor cannabis . I never worried about all that growing peppers indoors but I guess i'm only really trying to keep them healthy until they go outside . To be honest i'm always ready for them to go outside lol . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
You Too!
It got up into the low 80's outside for the first time since I have been growing and I had to fire up the central air. The room with my tents in it still heated up more than I'd like and was pushing 75. This is what I mean when I say I'm making adjustments as I learn. Does anyone use one of those portable AC units in their grow room? It looks like I'm in the market for one to keep outside the tents on those warmer days. I've been keeping the door to the hallway cracked open with a fan blowing into the room and that it helping. I'm thinking along the lines of a $200-$250 budget for a small portable in the 5,000 to 8,000 btu range. Heads up to the perfectionists, $200 up to about $250 is my budget so don't bother giving a sales pitch on another central air unit or redoing duct work. I remodeled my first house in the 90's and put in new duct work, sheet metal through a crawl space using slips and drives, something sheet metal workers will know. These days I'm all about the simplest cheapest solutions that meet the modest needs of my space. I've got a Fast Buds fast flowering Orange Sherbert and a Rum Dosidub auto finishing up and a drying tent full of Trainwreck. These last few days have made it obvious that I'm going to have to take the grow room temps down a bit to balance things out. This video pushed my cheap ass over the edge and convinced me to spend a few bucks. 😀
Im in DWC Hydrobuckets I roll my room at 75 degrees . Rh at 70 % in veg and 50 % in flower
80f and keep between 40 and 50 percent humidity the whole grow perfect 🎉🎉
80F I agree all the way nite time dif gives the colors but i run 65% in veg and 55-60% in flower better yield then low RH the whole grow
3 ton mini split and an Anden 320 dehumidifier in my flower room and an ideal air humidifier, and dehumidifier for my nursery with a lung room right next to it to draw cold air from through a mushroom filter for temperature.
Vivosun also makes a controller that shows vpd and auto controls circulation and ventilation as well as the lights.
In beginning of flower you can run humidity higher in the 60 65 or even 70 temp should be around 75 -77 fans moving air than by week 5 your humidity should be lower
When flowering I run lights at night. Even then it’s hard to keep my temps below 80 in my tent during the summer. It’s normally 82 at the hottest. I do alright I don’t really see a difference during winter when I can keep it colder. I just try to keep it as simple as possible.
VIVOSUN offers the same controller that you mentioned from AC Infinity. I’ve never used any AC Infinity gear, though I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. I just so happened to have started with VIVOSUN and have just stuck with them ever since. That new Evo10 1,000w LED that AC Infinity just released not long ago and the refillable carbon filter sure have caught my eye, though. Might eventually make the switch if they keep making strides in the cultivation industry.
Love the video as always Scotty. I've been using a Niwa Growhub for 3 years and will use it til it dies. It controls temp, humidity, vpd, lights, watering. Easiest upgrade I ever made to growing.
I've heard about those, but I've never used one.
Hi, Anytime I break 60% humidity bad stuff starts to happen. My VPD is rarely on point and I am still super satisfied with my home grown. I dont pay much attention to it.
My temps hover around the 80s and humidity is always in the 60s and i never had mold prpblems...
I thought you wanted it higher if using led. 80 ish with led 72-75 hid. Love whay yall do brother. Much love stay breezy
Just bought some of your products .. gotta get something for the roots
Thanks Scotty, goood info as always.
Appreciated!
FlaVUH from Ventana plant science is a product hitting the scene with some amazing terpene production.. it's pricey but a well worth product that is an naturally occurring polymer that breaks down the volatile hyrdocarbons in the root zone, allowing more amounts of micronutrients to be broken down as most micros such as manganese or boron won't be absorbed as much as potassium will be
Thanks for sharing!
Silica can help your plants withstand a little bit higher temps and humidity. I just upgraded my light from 250watts (?so it says?) to 400watts, I totally forgot to think about temps changing. So now I'm having to re-tweek everything again. I cannt wait to see the results though!!! I
yeah often when you change thing up like that you need to redial you grow.
Wish I could show u guys the results so far of My plants with just growdots. Been stupid easy thus go around. 1st time using I think I'm hooked.
So Glad they are working out for you! You could always make a Dank nug post on dudegrows.com I would see it there. If you don't have an account, the invite code is: straindependent
Maybe an episode about sound stimuli in an indoor environment ? Like precursor sounds for storms (watering) , birds , flowing rivers/streams ?
Thanks for the idea, we will put it in the idea pool.
All the humidity I can get in early veg 70% temps are 70 naturally with some heater use. Then big lights come out and raise the temps as I roll into April so the temps will go up naturally to 75 to 80. Humidy 50s or 60s. Perks of the central coast. Lights off during the day.
I've had great results since I got rid of the grow tent...my flower room is regulated with a dehumidifier and a wall ac unit...my humidity stays right around 49 and my temp is at 68...the girls are thriving. Why regulate two temp zones if you don't have to.
I always enjoy a good upgrade!
Im not a grower, but does root/soil temperature mater, if so could you use an element from an electric blanket to increase the soil temp if that was beneficial?
Keep your area clean and not wet old run off water keep everything clean and you'll have less problems that's my first and foremost thing on the chart keeping the area clean uncluttered leaves cleaned up that's the first thing
Love these, Scotty dropped facts 🫶☘️
at 65f during flower you want your RH to be ~30% for optimal VPD
The bruce Willis of cannabis!Cheers buddy!
That is a wild hair-do my dude 🤘
does grow dots have a temp range to activate? great video thanks.
And I just tell people like this I'm an old school guy sit in the middle of your tent and if you can sit in there for 20 minutes without any problems then your plants are okay that's your sweet spot I mean you can use a meter to measure your light you can use other instruments to measure wattage and stuff but what I say to all people sit in the middle of the tenth read a little article or look at your phone for 20 minutes and if you can sit there without any problems perspiring cold feeling damp then your plants will be okay
Been using recharge for 3 to 4 years now and will never grow with out it anymore and just got my first bag of extended veg grow dots can't wait to see the results popping beans as we speak. Im going to be running fox farm coco loco, extended veg grow dots, recharge and Humboldt's secrets golden tree additive any tips or tricks i should try
Thanks Mr. Real 🖐️☺️
Perfekte Temperatur mein ich zumindest nach meiner Schnauze 28 Grad dann hast du kein bisschen dass die terpene verschwindet werden so wie früher unter der ehemaligen natriumdampflampe
Go underneath the leaf the underside of the leaf not the top of the leaf with the Sun is on the bottom side that's where you spray you got to flip that leaf around
I'm trying 75F daytime with a 1.15 - 1.25 VPD. Lots of circulation.
Vivio has controllers for smart grow tents/ temp humidity controller.
Arizona is weird especially since qhere im at it snows and hits 110+ with0%rh,makes it interesting controlling temps etc inside during season changes,and exactly ya gotta lower the room the tent is in,found havin exhaust exiting that room helps alot too
I can imagine those tents would be a pain. Thanks for sharing!
Stress can be a good and a bad thing. I run VPD until around ripening phase then drop it low.
Makes sense thats the old man saying if it makes sense then it is sensible..need too look into this,is it like greenhouse seed company halloand that sold grow tabb and tabbs for floweing..oh are they foir soil hydro coco help us out
Brilliant vid
Dare you to deep dive on cobalt and terp/alkaloid production 🤐
Always Dropping and knowledge 💣💭
VIVOSUN has a controller as well I have it and it connect with their inline fan and has a app for your phone to set up temp and humidity limit triggers
Nice.
How do your manage to keep your room at 65° fahrenheit? I'm confused
I use a vpd chart look at my temp and look at the RH for the stage im in and i set accordingly i also keep my inline fan on exhaust to keep rh in check
Thanks for sharing!
can you do a session on herms and breeding??
we will see about adding it to our ideas list!
Im on my 18/6 light cycle off at 2am on at 8am. When switch to 12/12 do I have to start my 12/12 cycle at the time the lights turn off 2am-2pm?
Right that's why I don't understand why people put leaves in their compost tea because leaves are water water resistant you got a pulverize the leaf before you can get the nutrients out by just letting it sit in water you're not going to get the nutrients out because it rains on leaves
Ac Infinity only way to go!!!
Thank you for the great info. If I’m running CO2 in flower, can the temperatures be a little bit higher I always thought CO2 needed to run with about 79 to 80° temps to be fully affected. Thank you..
Yes you can!
I keep my exhaust fan connected to the carbon filter always on and then I have a dehumidifier set to 55.60% all the time. That's all...
great advice
The girls will tell you. Just listen closely to what they are saying.
Seems to me that led grows needs higher temps n humidity to perform close to hps. These plants are like tropical plants. They love lots of sun n high temps. Yeah 27 28c is optimal but you're better off at 29 30c then 24 25. For terps it s more important to dry in a cool place than grow in a cool place
That's why you got to tell me about these amino acid I got a question if you give it a mean growth amino (tryptophan)acids you have to feed it more am I correct
Great short
Always good info ty scotty
Glad to help
Pinata pinata please get to the point what is the sweet temperature and sweet spot humidity level
Hey brother hate to bother you but do you think grow dots are are good for autos that way I don't have to worry about Lock out over under feeding ect? I'm a new grower and trying to make it easier
