Kristoff Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 New to uk indoor growing. Am I right in thinking I can have slightly higher rh% as long as temps are down,been struggling to keep rh below 60% lights on 22*c... Autos seem fine but photos in veg a bit droopy now n again.... Link to comment
Lux_Interior Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A R/H of 60% and 22oC are not bad ball park figures. What is your grow-room size & what lamp are you using. I aim for 50-70% R/H and a temp of 25oC. Maybe a cheap tube heater may be a cost effective way of raising the temperature. 1 Link to comment

Iv got a 3x3ft x5ft tent with a 300w hps and 2xled sidelights about 150w each, 1x 6inch fan, 1x6inch extraction, think temps will rise as weather gets better, just looking to get rh down further....

Shumroom Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Do you have a speed controller for your extraction fan? Atb 1 Link to comment
Lux_Interior Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 OK. You certainly have enough light. A R/H of 60% wouldn't unduly worry me. Perhaps there are other issues causing droopy plants. Are the plants over watered maybe. Is this a hydro/compost/coco grow? 1 Link to comment

Shumroom Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Are you able to upload a photo, to show us how they’re getting on? How old are they? Atb Link to comment
Lux_Interior Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I run a 5" RVK in a 1.2mx1.2mx2m tent. I think it churns out 250 3m/hr ...ish. Unless its the height of summer (BBQ day) it seems to cope OK. If I bought a new extractor I'd opt for a 6". Link to comment
Guest anarchycamp Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Whys your exhaust on a timer? That would cause me problems! Link to comment
