Indoor Dark Devil, 900w Mars, Coco/ Newbie!!

Wow, @canocrpse86, you got it all going down there!
Impressive -- colors and size and density.
Will have to keep an eye on this grow!

Thanks for the Rep @Maria Sanchez! Basically my first grow here so just experimenting and trying things out.

Well I'll have to research that VPD chart before I can make any comments on it. But I can tell you I think it's a good idea to keep your temperature difference between lights on and lights off as close as you can possibly get, that will also keep humidity stable.

I've always been happy with humidity between 40 and 60% unless I'm in late flower and then I like to be about 40 or even a little lower like I am right now.

@jingo i think the concept of using the VPD chart is that keeping optimal water vapor pressure in the air allows optimal transpiration through the leaves. I've had a lot of people say they keep their RH low even down into the 30s through the entire grow for more resin production. I've also seen people saying they keep their RH higher even up to 70-80% through flower for better yield. Also seems they run higher humidity in conjunction with higher temps. Seems there are a lot of different opinions on it.

I've thought about adding more humidity but I've always thought of using something like UVB light to sterilize the air as its circulated. That way I wouldn't have to worry about mold spores and such.

Yeah the biggest thing I have seen with the higher humidity grows is air circulation. They keep a lot of air circulation and recycling. Also a lot of them are using co2 in conjunction with the higher humidity for compounded effects.

I'm wanting to make a submission for the Sweet Seeds photo contest, which picture you guys think i should use?

 

[jingo]

For me it's a toss-up between number 2 and number 4. I kind of like a bud shot that has a depth of field to it or should I say the foreground and the background is a little blurry but the bud is nice and tight.

 

[canocrpse86]

I'm feeling either 1,2, or 5

 

[jingo]

I'd be all over 1 if I could see the top of the bud. Have you ever thought of doing a dark background?

That was in front of black felt lights off, except some led pucks above the buds and my cell with flash.

 

[canocrpse86]

ok @jingo I took some more with a darker background. I did some purple, and some black. I think im feeling 2,4,and 5.
