| SmknVTEC | There you go zababadoo hit it for ya. Your ambient temps of 85-93 degrees are too high but they will still grow |
I'm going to work on my grow room later. I'm going to duct tape up the vents that are built into the tent so that the only holes are the 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust.
I don't see any use for there being little vent windows at the bottom of the tent, other than to disrupt the airflow from my intake and exhaust.
Then I'm going to set up a little stand outside the intake fan and try sitting a full tray of ice cubes right in front of it to see if that helps any...(I'm out of ideas as to how to get the ambient temp down).
I'm thinking of sticking a fullcooler full of ice/water in the room with the plants to see if that helps both lower the temp and raises the humidity.

How do you clean your res? Are you just that fast, or what do you do with the plants? I'm going to clean my res out in a bit, and I'm going to use pipe cleaners on the hoses, then attach the support for the scrog screen I'm going to use. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the plants while I'm doing all this because I know it's going to take longer than 15 minutes. I can intermittently pour distilled water on the cubes and down the roots while I'm working on it...lol

ill start a grow journal with mine so we can keep touch and compare so we can see how to improve with these kits keep us updated

Dude that'd be sweet.

have noticed more growth when the ambient room temp/humid are 73-75/40-60
water temp 65-68 ( i think my thermometer broke today )

I'm going to work on getting my temps down tonight (85-90 ambient, 80F water) and my humidity up. I'm going to try what I said earlier about duct taping the vents, the ice cube tray, and the cooler. I'm also going to try putting duct tape all over the res itself, to help block out light, and perhaps insulate it to keep it cooler.
Bummer about your thermometer, mane.
