Ok im using 2 1000 watt vented cooled hoods. 18 site flow-n-grow oceanus 1 titan controls brain in a 10x10x8 room temp about 83-84 humidity about 50 at highest. got 2 exhale co2 bags and outside co2 vented and cooled incoming. Negative pressure is at minimal now and everything is kinda at a dialed in motion for the room... (i went commercial instead of self made flood and tray tables, which im regretting now) i put my rapid rooter plugs in the buckets and been feeding them 1/8th strength nutes from the 3 part GH nutes set. Here is my issue..... My base water ph when i check it from tap (which is well water waaaay out in the country) is about 5.7. which is pretty good. but as soon as i fill up my res and let er run a few days it spiked to 6.5. not deathly high from what i understand but still a no no. going to get some PH down today (i bought everything from a friend and he gave me 4 bottles of ph up and no ph down smh). Any other tips on keeping it low? I know everyone say NO light hits the water. i have a bucket that doesnt have a plant in it yet but im cycling it because im just waiting on my master kush to come up and hopefully she will be my mother to move into the mother room which is being constructed because i like the mast and presidential strains. but is this true in most cases to" never let the light hit the water"? and could that be the issue because 2 pots (only 2 out of the 18 are halfway full of sun leaf reusable grow rocks) and when in flood the water is exposed by a couple inches. i was just trying to help my humidity bump up a little bit (pure theory) but this is my first ebb and flow grow and going head first but with a good amount of knowledge. the only thing i don't have here is the experience and little quirks about ebb and flow.
so....
No light getting to the water?.....best info ive seen so far
