Temp's are only at about 75 degrees at tops...72 in room.....and I'm using a small heater as needed too. Is this a reasonable zone as well?

Ide say 50% should be your high RH at this stage,and a bit lower as your flowering continues(30-40%).BTW,All my plants are done but with no camera we should save some bandwidth.

i could of sore i answered this, sorry if i didnt. 1st try to catch the ladybugs if u still want them, or buy more. u need to take a sponge & get it wet w/ water & antibactiral soap & wipe off the leaves (both sides), this will remove the mites & eggs, then just take some neem oil & spray your plants (both sides of leaves) to help with anything left over, repeat the spraying every other day until they are gone. another good idea is to completly clean your grow area. Spider mites can also be controlled with their natural enemy Phytoseiulus persimilis; a predator mite which feeds on spider mites. My favorite brand of neem is Einstein Oil. The trick to killing spider mites is to make sure the spray touches them. Tilt plants up on their side and spray leaf undersides where mites and their eggs reside. Miticides approved for food crops must come in contact with mites and eggs in order to kill them. If spray only touches the top of foliage, mites are not affected. Keep the entire room clean at all times, so there is nowhere for mites to hide. Inspect for mites daily and spot spray anywhere you find them. Eggs will continue to hatch for weeks, and new mites must be killed before they get a chance to lay more. Keep up a rigorous eradication for at least 6 months, and you should have the problem well under control. read this http://www.cannabisculture.com/magaz...ite/index.html
& again very sorry, i thought i answered this. & i did here http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-...ml#post2513989 sorry about that

u want your RH to be in the 40's & lower near harvest, & the last wk b4 harvest let the temps go up to the 80's & let the soil dry out, this will stimulate the plant to produce more trichs to help it protect itself from dieing. trichromes help hold in moisture & protect it from high temps.

What type of lighting are you using?

Mine are at 7 weeks from seed, how old are yours again?

right now still useing 1 2ft 4bulb t5, & 1 2ft 2bulb pec lamp = 17,600 lumens, & they are the same age as yours to the day.

I can see some big differences between them, yours have much shorter internodal length but are much smaller in total....mine have stretched more but are huge in comparison. Of course, mine are under a 400w.

What is a pec lamp?

Knowing that my room is small & my plants are large, as they get further along in flower how much do you think my RH could rise if vent. conditions remain the same?

I was thinking about using Damp-rid and/or leaving the door open a bit for more air intake....do you think these will help?

My end #s were just that,20-30% RH and a high of 85F. the last few months.

36" branches hanging everywhere and looking wretched from all the lil yellow and brown leave bottoms which were covering them.

JJ,Sound familiar,Hrs and Hrs and Hrs(you get the picture???Of pulling buds apart to clip that lil leaf off the inside of the endless monotonous movement which NEVER seems to friggin end,If i had someone i trusted ide happily split the harvest at this point.

Looks like givin the soil several days W/O water makes this trimming process work well even though I'm only 4 days into the dark 70F. dry now at 40%(could this be all the foliage is adding humidity into the air or the cooler temps or both?

Look at your grows R/H vs the R/H in the intake area,if the R/H is lower in the intaking area the grows R/H will lower as the exchange rate increases,but it will never be lower in the grow than the outside intake air W/O a dehumidifier or an AC unit pullin out the humidity.

Just for clarification,My posts in reply to others are not to replace JCJs and are not always a direct response to them.

Just my helpful input which BTW was gathered mostly from JCJ himself.

For all who want to grow to see and learn and enjoy this incredible plant which we all so lovingly work so hard for.

I have a portable dehumidifier that I can put in the room near the intake, maybe that'll help some.....there's no way it'd fit in the room itself.

I appreciate opinions from anyone with experience.....even you oci!!

We all know jcj's the man anyway....

That would help and if you can somehow make an intermediate area where that unit is to pull the R/H down before it enters the grow room it will really work good(providing that unit can keep up with the exchange rate,if its that big it prolly will though.

Forgot the most important part of the story.

So after all that manicuring there it was.....The most incredibly colorful crystal powder covered nugs i had waited soooo long and worked sooo hard for,Well worth the wait and still far from completion of the drying not to mention the cure.

Here's a couple shots I took in Jamaica 2 years ago on my friend Ragga's farm. We spent the day trimming up buds out in the bush with a couple of neighboring farmers.

Look at the little babies...
