Plants feeling really dry!

[tokeycones]

hey , Im on day 3 after switching out my blurple for 600watt hps and my average RH went from 55-60% to 45-50% , i noticed my plants leaves feel alot drier then before the switch average room temp 26-27C max temp was 29c . would you say it's the humidity levels or the light causing my girls to dry out more and any tips too increase my RH without purchasing a humidifier

Much more heat leads to dryer plants. Water sooner if they feel dry.
A 600hps will keep the heat a lot higher than the led.

Yea however i'm running the hps at night was running the led during the day so i've really only climbed 2 maybe 3c , i water daily its the leaves that feel dry almost crunchy but no signs of heat /light stress or anything

Too much water, run a humidifier constantly and let your soil dry out.

I was under the impressionyou can't over water coco, i have great drainage also? nothing has changed in my feeding cycle only the light switch so im certain the dryness relates to this. also im having issues of low humidity why would i want to crank a dehumid mate?

Ok coco I'm not familiar with that, but hps I am are you flowering?

About to switch just wanted my plants to adjust to the light increase while in veg mode to save any stress during flower, however plenty of growers use HPS for their veg cycles

MH is great for the first few weeks

I run MH for 3 to 4 weeks on my switch best is duel spectrum but flowering needs blue spectrum to start

flowering needs blue spectrum to start? Hmm first i've heard of this as you flower under hps which are yellows reds ect?vegging under a MH is preffered however i used an led with veg/bloom switches for my veg stage my first real grow

excuse the camera quality taken on a cheap phone

Flower starts mid summer in most areas that's mostly blue with some red.

 

[Batcave420]

Couple 3 weeks blue and add some red if possible

 

[Batcave420]

All blue

Nice mate , the node spacing is huge though i think thats where the led did me well, ive been under multispectrum this whole time and now the hps is up i have the led on with the bloom switch off so it's contributing blues/greens ect that the hps isn't providing

 

[Batcave420]

The red spectrum in my opinion is the last 4 weeks.
