Hahaha I like to do things a little backwards if you can't tell.

It’s all good though.

Came down before bed to look in the tent. I think the light was too close. Looks like the leaves are tacoing on this plant

 

[FelipeBlu]

Tacoing could also be a symptom of too high VPD (hot and dry or just really dry). What’s your humidity like?

 

[Gutter444]

Three rh goes from 35 with the might on to about 55 with the light off. I already have a humidifier in the tent. Not sure what else I can do

 

[FelipeBlu]

35% is low for a young plant. Hopefully, your humidifier will deliver, but I wouldn’t worry about it much.

I was thinking about going to buy a second one or a new one as I think the one I have is garbage. But I also read that the plants will start to produce more moisture as they grow and I shouldn't worry to much about it?

Does your exhaust fan have a speed controller. If it does you could dial it down that will help keep your humidity up because the fan won't be sucking all the humid air out so fast.

Yeah it does. I will adjust it when I get home. Problem is when I turn the exhaust fan down the the temps seem to rise up quite a bit

 

[FelipeBlu]

Depending on your temps, you will want humidity up around 55-65% during veg, and around 35-45 during flowering.
Do you know about VPD?

I was reading about it a couple weeks ago. But I can not seem to recall what I read. Lol hmm wonder why can you explain?

 

[FelipeBlu]

This here explains it well.

Here’s a pretty good chart

I never knew that. I will definitely have to read it again in more depth. But I get the jist of it. Thanks it hard to keep the temp and rh constant so this chart will help with that for sure

Update time! Day 8 since sprout!

Two of the plants are doing great have absolutely no complaints about them. So not alot to update there. Won't do a rez change until the weekend most likely then will start doing it every weekend after that.

The third got the white widow is still alive and growing nice healthy roots so I'm not too worried. But she hasn't gotten at all on top. Leaves are still the same size as about 4 days ago. Any ideas anyone? Or just think one of these days it's just going to take off. Hopefully soon.

The one thing I do have to complain about is my temps and rh. During lights off not a big deal at all. Temp goes to about 22 and rh is about 70 but when the lights come on temp good to 30 which I'm okay with. But the rh goes down to like 30. I have now added a bucket with a towel in front of one fan. I have two humidifiers and a second tower fan blowing directly on the lights to hopefully help cool them. I will update before I go to bed to see if all of that helps keep RH up. Hope all you wonderfulfolks had a great day and an even better night tending to the ladies.

 

[FelipeBlu]

Looking good. I wouldn’t worry about the WW. She’s just spreading out below.

 

[FelipeBlu]

Also, don’t worry too much about the 30% RH. They’ll be fine. I was just explaining the curled leaf edges. Just do what you can.

Yeah I know you were just trying to help out. I just went and looked now and with all the added stuff it's 29C and 47%RH so I'm happy with that as I don't think anything else I do will really make a difference. Thanks Felipe!!

 

[Gutter444]

Alright all three plants are growing like crazy. Atleast to me. So thought I would give you guys a picture of each. I wondered if the leaves were curling a little bit. But I've told myself I'm just being paranoid and looking for something wrong because I think there doing awesome. Anyways hope everyone's having an awesome night!
