4 Weeks into grow with nutE questions

So I'm into my 4th week of growth and still at 1/4th nutes. @ 3 weeks I tried to go to 50% but it seemed to stress the plants so I changed the res and went back to 25%. I'm using GHydroponics 3 step which calls for all 3 to be used during the first few stages of growth. So I'm using 1/4 nutes of all three kinds. Any advice on when to up my nutes?

Also, I can't seem to get my humidity to stay past 30%. Using an enclosed area any advice on how to help this. I'm using an in-line fan that suctions the closet so keeping moisture in I think is going to be a problem. Thought of a humidifier but not sure with more air being sucked out then in if it would have a positive effect on it.

Some will say to up your nutes when plants show a sign of deficiency, but I pretty much follow the label on the nutes and if it burns then my next watering is plain water. (I know little different than hydro, but I push my plants as if they were my son in a football game. If I dont see a little nute burn, then they dont have enough)

If I do burn and depending on how bad, my next watering is plain water, then back to the nutes again, and usually the same amount, since plants are about 1 week older.

As far as humidity......set small wide mouth trays/jars/buckets/cups in your grow area or hang some towels that are damp, not wet. This moisture will increase your RH. Also, remember humidity is good or ok for vegging, bad for flowering.......MOLD!

Hope that helps
