Will remediate with A/C. Currently, I am spraying whole plant and soil around plant twice a day. Watering whole pot once every two days or when plants look like they’re starting to wilt / look sad. I’ll post an update after plants have a few days in controlled climate. Thanks for checking it out! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Avoid over watering as it stuns growth and size lift pot before watering THINK then water or not. too hot raise light keep temp gauge at leaf height.. IMO: should you intend to add your own nutes later diluting the FFOF with 30% perlite is a great start even if you don't add your own salts it still improves drainage and root compaction amogst other stuff good luck
Moved temp gauge, raised light by about 6 inches. I do pickup the pot before watering to check the weight. Also have been feeling a few inches under the soil to feel for moisture. I think the high temps have been causing the soil to dry out quickly. Thanks for the advice! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Yes I plan on turning the blurple off when taking pictures after I get the qbs in there. Also, have decided to do qb120’s instead of the 132s. I can’t find any 3000k 132s... 120s should suffice quite well. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

Just noticed your air intake is level with your extraction. You probably know this already, but it might be worth opening one or both of those bottom flap thingies with the mesh on them, if and when temps get a little high just because the air at the bottom will be cooler. Otherwise, liking the setup dude. Is noise an issue for you at all, and if so, how does the 6" perform noise-wise?
Wellp I took that pic before I closed the tent. Haha. When the exhaust was on and I closed the tent, it nearly imploded. Literally. It knocked a fan over before I caught it. Luckily no sprouts at that time. So I immediately opened the bottom flap. They’re in my bedroom right now which is currently unoccupied due to the heat. The only room with ac rn is my living room lol. Bedroom ac will be here Thursday. This should fix the heat issues. As for noise on the 6”, it sounds like a large window ac. You can clearly hear it in the room, but as soon as u step out of the room it’s inaudible. Not too bad at all. Also, you can barely hear a difference between low & high setting. It’s on low right now. I’ll post some pics tonight. Lots of growth past few days.
Taking off. One seems to be lagging, likely due to the heat. Have not watered since Friday. Today was the first day the girls received pH treated water. pH of 6.2. Here are pics. Leaves were praying before watering. I’ll post next update Friday or Saturday. After A/C gets put in. New Grow: Grow #1 - White Widow Auto
Not sure if this one all the way to the right is ok. It seems way smaller and the stem is a lot smaller than the other two. I have been treating them all with the same care so genetics maybe? Recommendations? New Grow: Grow #1 - White Widow Auto
Either genetics or ur lights foorprint isnt reaching is exactly how it is on the other 2 causing the slower growth Flower tent Vegging outside the flower tent
I usually water seedlings close by for about the first 10-12 days then around the perimiter forcing roots to look for the water and spread out now.. then i go for the transplant into a bigger pot around day 13-15 Flower tent Vegging outside the flower tent
yeah, this ^. Also though, watering the whole pot every two days does seem excessive to me, plants can become stunted from over watering. Maybe ease off on that. It can be a matter of personal preference (i.e there's room for your own style of watering in the broader spectrum of good watering practices), but I usually wait for the pot to be dry enough to feel light when lifting it before giving a full watering.
