If the leaves do not show signs of droop then it probably isn't intense enough and maybe a waste of power for no reason. I guess run it for a week or 2 and use your own judgement as to if you think it is doing anything or not. I think this would have more of an effect during the end stages of flowering rather than the beginning. It should change humidity also I would think.

Actually, comparing spectra, there is a small increase from fr to ir...now whether that is enuff...TEKNIK wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 11:14 pmIf the leaves do not show signs of droop then it probably isn't intense enough and maybe a waste of power for no reason.

As far a drooping is concerned, i’m an expert already at making them droop....prob can name 5 ways to get there....
I thought i was trying to make the plant better....
Lol...blind leading blind, comes to mind...
The donut style one. Sorry said AgoHike in the picture. Maybe that is why I can’t find it.Or_Gro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 11:06 pmThanks man!ViridisHC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 10:21 pm@Or_Gro I've been lurking on your grow logs for a bit. Assuming another Oregon grower? Wanted to ask if you could supply a link to that AgoHike humidifier as I'm having trouble finding it? I'm also experimenting using floating disc humidifiers for cloning except I've made some DIY fogponic type 3.5 gallon buckets. The floating disks I'm using work well but are quite a bit pricier. Another problem I believe I'm having is the floats for the disk are occasionally too rough with new cuttings if the water is too high. Seems like all of the cuttings that have failed have been physically broken by the floating disk self propelled movement in the buckets.

Also swapped out donut humidifiers far a 4L ultrasonic...
I really like the capability of this style donut:

but it shuts off on some schedule i haven’t been able to identify, then rh drops into 40%s.
The floating style donut:

runs continuously, but it puts out too much mist, soaking tent walls.
I've also been interested in tissue culture for a while and your log on it might convince me to pull the trigger on it, so thanks for that too!
I don’t believe i’ve used or mentioned an agohike humidifier...

I bought several of each version from diff vendors on amazon. For each style, they all seem to be exactly the same, in same packaging, even, so just buy cheapest one.

Why not put them on a timer? 15mins on, 15mins off.. They last much longer this way. Also make sure to use demi/ro water. Any minerals inside the water will age the membrane much faster and in the worst case the condensed humitity leaves a white mineral layer on any surface in your groom.Or_Gro wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 7:25 pmDay 4: Pulled lids off, fixed leaks, topped up water, and dosed the “sterile” buckets w 15mLs working solution.

The better ones stop automaticly after a certain amount of time to protect the membranes from getting damaged. Often they mention a max. of 8h and at least a break of 30mins in the description. So if you put it on a timer it should no longer switch off at some point. If you find a minute timer you can use shorter on/off cycles to set a more precise humidity level but a little swing of maybe 10% back and furth should not be a big problem. The mist is condesing at the walls and even when the mister stops it will take some time until the water has evaporated so the swing is probably less like 10%.

If you want to heat up the leaf surfaces such a ceramic heater is probably more efficient. They also have no far-red so you could be sure the effects are only caused by the additional heat. They are also pretty cheap, a 200w bulb costs less than a 10er.
