    Blue Dream - End of Week 14, F15

    Not a lot to report at Week 14, day 113, day 15 in flower.

    I'm looking at TDS running around 800 (feeding Fox Farms Trio). I'm interested in opinions as to whether that is high enough or should I have a look at how I'm feeding?

    Also, I'm struggling with humidity in the tent. I have a timer that runs in 30-minute increments. At this point, I'm running the exhaust fan in 90 minute blocks with a 30-minute break around the clock. That's keeping things between 20% (with the fan running) and about 75% (fan off). Is this okay? I know that I'm fighting the chance of mold on the buds and I know ideally RH should be around 50%. Do I risk anything with RH that's significantly less than 50%? Seems like that may cause the plant to respire heavily which may or may not be good for it given that this is a DWC grow. I'm adding about 4 gals of PH adjusted water every week which seems okay.

    Those are my questions. Now for some more mediocre photography and bud porn:

    The plant is top heavy. I've been shifting it around under the light to try and give the buds around the edges a chance.

    This just came out looking wicked. Thought some folks might like it.

    Unfortunately, I got a little careless clearing some leaves to try and open up the plant to make sure as many buds as possible are getting light.

    I hate when that happens. Oh well, collateral damage must be accepted.

    Someday I want to get the actual camera equipment out and get some actual photos. For now, I'm just tending the plant and trying to stay warm here. It's down to 25° F out side.

    Any information appreciated. Hope your March is going well.

      Right, that and trying to save a kilowatt or two. I know RH runs high in the tent and I need to keep that under control, but are there issues associated with running the RH too low?

      And thanks for asking.

        fans don't use much power so you wont save that much. youre already saving more power by running your lights 12/12. younger plants can benefit from higher humidity unless you drop below 10% constantly with fan always on I cant see there would be a problem. better to be slightly low than too high

        40-50% is the max you should aim for in flower. lower can slightly stress the plant into increasing resin production
