Huge job to trim wet by yourself..and its so dry in my shop it would dry too fast. I take the fans off and hang it...trim dry.
Arughhh, that has been the reason in my delay in the 2017 thread, dry air in my veg, I built a new room and it is dry as fuck in there, I moved my plants in last week and with in 2 days the leaves went all taco on me, I was like wtf, I did not have my temperature gage up, I put it up and noticed it was 22% humidity, I was like "oh shit" because my plants were all small clones they could not make enough moisture for the room, went out to wal mart got a shitty 40$ humidifier it got the room up to 47-54% it keeps fluctuating depending on the heat, heat goes up humidity goes down....

I am hoping that will help until the plants can create enough humidity on their own. I am now mopping the floors daily, I have a few buckets of water and fans and I have the shiity wal mart humidifier, I hope they bounce back from the taco effect.....

I know it is super weird, new room, nothing was dialed in, I guess it just is the time of year combined with small plants and dry cold air, they just went into panic mode. Things seem to be on the mend.
Hmm ya strange...good they seem better now anyway. I had one do that the other day...but only one.

At first I thought it was broad mites, but I am almost 100% sure it was just too dry and the plants could not transpire properly.
Ya I guess it could be ...I dunno why mine just packed it in. Looked good one minute then all flopped over a day later. I think it's done. I'm a fan of low humidity but I guess there a limit. My veg is at 41% presently. Flower at 37% maybe a bit too dry.

Part of my problem is my grow used to be in my house and it would share air with the rest of the house, now it is in a separate building / detached garage so I am not used to the super dry winter air, I will get it under control (I hope). It is just reverse of what I am used to, in the house I am always trying to cool the grow and take away moisture, out in the garage I am constantly trying to keep it warm and moist, lol. I will figure it out.
