got up this morning to turn lights on and the walls were wet with condensation and my humidity meter read 84%,not sure i can do much about it but i've tried leaving a little fan running in the wardrobe to get the air circulating but not sure it'll work as i close the wardrobe door and hang a blackout curtain over it to save any light leaks,i clipped it onto the reflector because it's the only space i have left

i also decided to raise some of the pots so the tops are level,2 of them are standind on top of 5 video cases and another on 7 video cases just to make them level with the tallest plant,looking back at my veg pics i really can't figure out why that 1 plant is massive compared to the rest,it was no bigger than 2 of the others

had to raise the light yet again,seriously running out of space above but if things continue as they have i'll remove the shelf in the top of the wardrobe which will give me another 10 - 12 inches i reckon,though it shouldn't come to that,i've grown in this space before successfully

and finally the tops of the plants have started looking like buds,still tiny small but looking like buds none the less,not bad for 2 weeks of 12/12

anyway a few pics

all comments/advice welcome

well leaving the fan running during dark didn't lower my humidity though it did stop the condensation gathering on the walls etc so hopefully that'll be enough,it's pretty cramped and not a very big space so i suppose there will be humidity as the plants perspire during dark,just hope it doesn't f**k things up! i've never had this many plants in my space at once

buds are looking better every day,soil is drying quite fast so i'm gonna have to water every 2 days,i'll do a plain water then one with nutes then plain then one with mollasses and carry on like that until sometime in week 6 when i'll switch to plain water for flushing

finally i had to raise my light again but only by 1 link this time so vertical growth may be slowing,got plenty budsites in the light now too

anyway some pics

all comments/advice welcome

thanks for looking

Atsar,

You have an excellent grow going there!!!

As for the humidity do you have ventalation fan to remove the heat? if so you can take that off the timer and have it run 24/0, that's how I have mine running. You need to maintain some kind of air exchange from outside the cabinet to get the moiture out at all times or on a humidistat. (not cheap)
As for hight restriction I would remove the shelf or you are going to need to tie them down, mine are 5 weeks into flower and stopped going up in the last week from what I see they will strech another 6'' to 10'', I put mine into flower when 12'' tall now they are close to 30'' tall.

i don't use a ventilation fan,just a 16" standard fan with a hose attached to the back drawing cold air from outside,which i sit in front of the wardrobe then close the doors onto it so during the light time i have a 4" gap in the doors,with the blades of the fan inside the doors

on a brighter note last night humidity only reached 62%,i've grown succesfully in there with similar humidity in the past so hope it'll be ok

i'll remove the shelf but only if totally necessary as it becomes just a box and not a very steady box at that,that shelf seems to strengthen it,plus the fact i'll need to rehang lights and put more foil tape up etc,i seem to remember worrying a lot 2 grows ago about height but all was good,plant reached almost 3 feet and fitted ok,with worse ventilation than i have now

been 17 days of 12/12 now and it's still looking good,plenty of buds in the light,the tallest plant is taking way more water than the rest,and with it being at the back with a raised pot in front of it i never noticed how dry it was,and a couple of leaves wilted at the bottom,no big deal though,only 2 leaves and she's perked right up since i watered her,she's now at the front left where i can keep an eye on her,and since rotating the plants i've actually found i could lower the light without damaging the big plant as she's not directly below the bulb

i've also added some co2 in there as well,just a bottle of sugary water with yeast in it sitting in my fan so it'll blow it straight into the plants,pretty crude really but i guess every little helps

[atsar]

day 23 since i switched to 12/12 and it looks like vertical growth has finally stopped or at least slowed,biggest plant is 32 inches tall from soil and 2 are 30 inches and the last 29 inches tall,all plants have plenty tops in the light which are filling out nicely

lost a few leaves from the bottoms of my plants but reckon it could be due to under watering as i had to go away for a few days and leave my plants in my girlfriend care,and all she did was switch lights on and off,no more,looking better for a watering

and finally i'm starting to see the trichromes coming and with the trichromes comes the fruity smell,always puts my mind at rest when it starts smelling like it's supposed to

anyway some more pics

thanks hydro,i gotta say i agree with you,i've been looking back at prior grows at this stage and these are looking way better,the branches are amazing this time too,if the buds fill out the spaces between the nodes i'm gonna have some nice colas out of this lot,and it's just smelling better and better each day
