White Widow cabinet grow

Or better exhaust fan. I mounted a dimmer on my exhaust fan so I can adjust how hard it runs and I can "adjust" the humidity between 30 and 75% just with the fan.
Now, natrually you want the exhaust to go on full as much as possible to get more air through the cabinet but when lights are out photosyntesis stops and you can turn it down so it just keeps the humidity under control.
So imho a bigger exhaust fan >> dehumidifier as it also gives you the advantage of more air and not only lower humidity.
This will natrually not work if the humidity where you live is high, you can't vent out humidity with "wet" air. :)
I see the difference when it rains or is foggy outside that humidity in my growtent goes up 5-10%. Check what the humidity is in the rest of your appartment a couple of days and if it is 0-30ish % then I would certainly go for the fan over the dehumidifier.

I wish I had done a slightly bigger exhaust from the start. I don't want to construct something mid-grow. Actually, if I'm honest, I can be arsed with the hassle at any time. Plus I am concerned about the additional noise of a bigger exhaust. The other problem is that this house stubbornly remains very humid, so I imagine it would only be as useful as the air its taking in, which is always 60% RH and up.

I do agree that it would be the better solution but I don't think it's what will work for me, at least not with things as they currently are. There may be a move in our future and I would construct things a bit differently. ;)

Just an idea. Your specific situation I natrually don't know anything about and remodelling a cabinet mid grow as you say is not very fun nor practical.

Shit. Shit shit shit. I am going to have to face it. "Tall bitch" is going to need something doing with. I can't pull that light up much further, maybe 20cm (8") or so and that be it. I am 19 days into flower, I am guessing she is going to grow more than 20cm. I don't know what I have been waiting or hoping for, a miracle, I suppose. Either way she is hell-bent on being tall as hell.

I wonder what would be better, breaking her or just letting her growing top surpass the light, off to the left. Is that a really bad thing? I have a hunch it is, but I am having a tough time accepting that I might need to snap her stem. The Puffzter Z formation is looking likely, isn't it?

When it comes to the breaking, when would be better to do this? Now or later? How big of a risk is it? If she snaps completely through, is this going to kill her? I know they are tough girls but this is scary business. What a horrible thing to have to do to a plant. I really hoped it wouldn't come to this.

Yes, that is a nasty pest strip you see up there too. I saw a couple flying things in there and I freaked out. Not a big problem yet and I hope it doesn't become one. Little gnatty bastards.

Dont break her back just yet, looking at my excel log here mine stopped stretch 20-22 days into 12/12. Then a week later I got 2-3 more inches and after that maybe 2 inches the last 5 weeks.

So, my (qualified) guess is that you will have maximum 7-10 more inches of vertical growth now. If you can take 10-14 more you should be in the clear foshoo.

Oh good! Thanks Puffzter! :)

Fingers crossed.

Remember the "qualified guess" though. ;)

Since we have same strain and even breeder yours SHOULD follow the same growth pattern as mine did. If you only have 20 more cm to play with you might have to seriously concider to do something after all I mean.

I like to write but I accept no responsibility for anything hehe. (except when I'm right ofc)

:rastasmoke:

ps if you decide to break her (or anyway) you have my contact info in your reputation list in the user control panel. I'll talk u through it np.

Makes sense to me, Puffzter, thanks. I am holding out a small bit of hope that I won't have to snap her but we shall see. It is good to know I have some moral support. :jointsmile: I don't really use instant messaging, but do you use that as an email address too?


I took a few pictures yesterday right before the lights came on. I'll post them in a short while, once I wake up a bit more.

Here is that photo from yesterday, 20 days into flower.
