As long as I’m hitting the VPD target I should be right yeah? My tent is normally at 27° 62% humidity which gives me 1.2 VPDRed Eye is running his heat and humidity very low for veg, which slows down growth. Plants veg much faster in 36% and rh80. Those lower parameters are better from a few weeks after flowering starts, to avoid foxtails and late flower budrot. I specifically don't run a dedicated extraction fan in either of my veg tents. Just a fixed fan pointing up towards a roof opening to maximise heat( and humidity) when it's not full summer. Weed absolutely thrives for weeks on end outdoors in 40%+ summer days, as long as roots have water. Thats why vpd charts have a wide range.
It will work, but if you set your temp/RH higher, the veg growth rate will explode in comparison Try it for a week and see how much faster they grow. Reduce it down again about 2 weeks after flip to 12/12.As long as I’m hitting the VPD target I should be right yeah? My tent is normally at 27° 62% humidity which gives me 1.2 VPD
okay I just set it to 36° and 76 humidity I’ll let you know how it goesIt will work, but if you set your temp/RH higher, the veg growth rate will explode in comparison Try it for a week and see how much faster they grow. Reduce it down again about 2 weeks after flip to 12/12.
Okay so the tent has finally reached the temperatures well close to it it’s 33° and 72 humidity but the problem I’m having now is my water chiller can’t keep up so my water temps at 23° instead of 18 I’m in the process now of freezing a bottle of water to chuck in the reservoirIt will work, but if you set your temp/RH higher, the veg growth rate will explode in comparison Try it for a week and see how much faster they grow. Reduce it down again about 2 weeks after flip to 12/12.
I do have a water chiller teco hy150Yeah, nah. Gotta keep roots cool as priority. I thought you were running a water chiller? Dial the ambient temp and RH back down if that's the case. Proper water temperature at rootzone is more important. You may need a water chiller, regardless, heading into summer weather in Aus
I did have it consistently at 27° and 62 humidity which was perfect then the old fox said it’s better to raise it and have it hotter and more humid so I tried it but that has made the water temperature too high so I’ve gone back down to 27 and 62 and without the humidifier I struggle to keep the humidity at a constant 62%Doing this is going to cause you more problems than you can handle
Set your day time temps 26 to 28 , night time 18
Forget atifically trying to raise humidity, you don't even know how your space works yet
Learn to deal with what you got , the smaller the space the harder it is to maintain constant environment let alone using humidifier etc to alter it
Its about consistency and knowing your grow space
That's the problem with roots in water. You have to make sure they are your number 1 priority.I did have it consistently at 27° and 62 humidity which was perfect then the old fox said it’s better to raise it and have it hotter and more humid so I tried it but that has made the water temperature too high so I’ve gone back down to 27 and 62
After watching that video and checking the charts again I’ve now changed my VPD to 1 not 1.2This Doctor explains VPD quite well ...
True, benefits and limitations of all grow systems.That's the problem with roots in water. You have to make sure they are your number 1 priority.
You'll just have to be satisfied with the growth rate.
