Same issue here. And I put a layer of rock at the bottom of the fabric pot to help with drainage so it isn't exactly light. My options are limited at certain times.

I get that. Not exactly old but I still have a house phone so... I still can't figure out the brightness with your instructions.

The standard pic program on my 'puter has an "edit" button. The bars on the right side of the second pic are under the highlighted "Adjustments" tab at the top. The little tab in the middle of each bar is an adjustment for that aspect of the pic (light, color, exposure, etc.) and I just play with them until it looks right.

Definitely not that well off. I've got android and my laptop is an old dell. I'll try your suggestions out but for whatever reason I can't download pics from my phone to my laptop. It Doesn't register photos.

So I'm running into a humidity issue. I typically run around 55 but over the last few days I'm dropping to as low as 31. My meter is registering at the highest 45 and the lowest 40 and has been for about 5 days. I've tried a bowl of water but that isn't working and with Xmas I've got no cash for a humidifier. Anything else I can do?

Relax...
Right now my rH is 42%, and it stays in the 30's and 40's. I tried fighting it but it was like beating my heat against a wall.
You can lower your exhaust ventilation, and make sure any fans are not blowing directly on the plants - opposite of what you might do if you had an unusually high rH.
The plants may need watering more often, but probably not. If you see the leaves looking "crispy" (not lush and green) you can try dimming or raising the lights. But overall it's a tough plant.

Okay. I'd read that 50 to 60 was optimal and it has been there for weeks. As long as she is good I'm good. I've reduced watering as well per your recommendation. She is still lush and perky. My moisture reading is dry though. No fans are directly on her. They're strong enough that she gets a good breeze regardless.Relax...

Unless you are growing a mega crop and have to take care of all the plants the same for convenience, learn to watch the plant and feel the pot. It's really easy once you get into it.
Most plants won't start drooping until after the pots have been dry for a bit. My Paradise Diesel is an anomaly for me, because she droops as she's getting dry instead of after. Like a barometer. She has been drinking like an Irishman from the start, and was also on a different watering schedule from her sister that was planted at the same time.
Even with two plants from the same batch of seeds from the same mom, they may grow different and have different needs. That meter won't tell you any of that.
