I was suprised at his low res temps too. I have mine on a cement slab under the table in the dark with ambient room temps of 75-77 and my res is still at 71* right now. I only have a tiny 2 diaphram air pump for my air stones and it doesn't produce shit for heat in the air to the stones. I had another commercial air pump that basically blew hot air into the stones raising my res temps. Took me a friggin week to figure out why my res was getting so warm haha

I'm also using 4 pretty big air stones in there too..they make good bubbles...

Got pics guys, I was just doing it wrong lol...seems like a pattern haha..the last pic is how they looked when I gave them too much food, the ones on the right took it the worst, but the first pics you see is a 2 days after that. Then the 2 in flower are just in mg, blueberry bliss, just something slight.

Everybody starts from ground zero my friend, even the greatest...
Keep refining your skills and get dialed in.

Most definitely. ...so I have a question..I'm about to start these 2 regular seeds I got..ones dank commander the other is stink bomb. They could be make or female , hopefully female..well I'm gonna do these in soil, I bought some light warrior mix from Fox farm. I'm gonna start them in that. When they get bigger and I need to transplant, should I use the same soil mix, or something different and stronger. I used to grow in miracle grow when I first started growing because it's not much u need to do but water. Bit I'm try a do it right this time.

I have had some suggest 64 but have never went below 66 and try to maintain that. When I fill it it's at 50 but takes 12 hours and back to 66.

That's what's up...the ro water I get is outside in a machine and as hot as it's been outside when I get the water it's like 80 degrees...so it takes a Lil bit to drop down but when it does it maintains really well..I actually got a Lil 130 dollar chiller I'm using with my 5 gallon bucket setup. .not to bad keeps the temp between 18-20 Celsius

Haha that's cool, show pictures after you make it, I would love to check it out.

Hey, I got a question, I need to figure out how to separate humidity in 2 locations in the same room. So I have a tent in the room that I need the humidity to be around 50-60. I have 2 humidifiers in there and I can only achieve low to mid 40. I think the exhaust fan is suckling up the moisture or something. Then in that same room In a closet with no door, just some black out drapes hanging. I have my 2 flowering. That humidity seems to stay higher like 48 -50, and at night it gets high like 60-70. I need the humidity lower in the closet day and night, and in the tent I need to sustain 40-50 in the day time. Any suggestions guys!!!!!

Ya give up lol. You'll probably be able to keep all fairly close but not different by design unless there sealed, the closet would be lowered if you were to put an exhaust fan in there. The tent should, even with the exhaust be a bit higher than the room if you have to humidifiers going but the temps are higher so the moisture content is probably the same as the room but the actual humidity is lower due to the heat. My humidity does get up to 70 in my flower room and I've never had a issue, I find that providing enough air circulation in the room is the key.

My friend I figured it out....I left my tent open with both humidifiers going, the room temp is 72 the humidity is 65..in the tent I got it sealed up as much as I can with a dehumidifier going and the temp is 72 and the humidity is 48!!!! Now I need to figure out night time...maybe I will zip the tent up and leave the humidifier going on low. And in the closet leave it sealed with humdifier going...and turn my ac to like 72. That should do it. ..I think I have accomplished great temp right now...finally..

You whipped that gray tub of plants right back into shape. Well done...they look good.
Thanks bud, I diluted that nute batch that was like 480. And brought it down to like 150. Then after a couple days I raised it to 320. Then the day after that the ppm dropped to like 270. So I was like damage they are really eating. So yesterday I brought it up to 350. And I also did a light foiler feed of 50 ppms. They seemed to love that. And in the back I have 4 ultra lemon haze auto coming up in the hydro bucket. But yes they are doing great

If your soil has all the admmenities then you should be fine but since you have nutes you can always use them if need be.
But you can always grab ocean forest or happy frog if you want. Those two seem to be the soil growers choice now days.

OK awesome, that's why I shall do. Everything is looking good....my nutes are at 350 ppm...well I made it that last night, and this morning it was 320, so it seems like if there eating that much over night maybe I should bump it to like 380?
