This weeks show turned out to be a special show with an interview with JDog600 and mysa it's the first of 2 parts.

I will try to explane this in more detail later I don't have the time today but I will check back in tomorrow.

Look up transpiring in the plant dry means the plant will transpire more to control the internal temperature. If they don't transpire then they get fat, happy thick foliage that is lush green and very healthy. You raise the RH with a fogger that is very small micron mists. But being prepared to control the environment is key. Fogger to raise the RH and a dehumidifier to lower the RH if it gets to high. Plus a sulfur burner just in case.

That's the quick version.
