Thanks for the help :thumbsup:

I would use ventilation if i was you. you can get inline duct fans that work great if u dont want to go with a carbon filter

I added an inline 200cfm fan to the setup that vents outside. Temp is now stable around 75-78

I sprayed the plants down thoroughly with Safer bug spray pyrethrins based.

Will do so again in 6 days or so. :(

Nice one sorting the temps with the cooltube and fan ;)

Don't forget to pot up soon tho mate, they're looking like they need it.
Looking a lot better, keep it up!

All over it. My pancreatitis was acting up today so I was home sick and decided to transplant the two largest guys. The root systems were not as extensive as I expected nevertheless it needed to be done. Also got my Soil PH meters and also a water PH tester. My tap water tests at 7.6.

Soil PH. These meters aren't all that accurate but they'll do I suppose.

At what point on the moisture meters should I be watering?

Temps under control. This weekend is supposed to get real hot so I'll see what happens.

You have a solid set up, I like your grow and will be watching it in the future.

Good luck with your grow, you seem to be taking all the necessary steps to get a fine bounty at the end :)

those are cool little ph meters, never seen those before..

it's nice to see that kind of initiative

you say your tap water is 7.6? sounds like you could use a reverse osmosis water filtration unit.

anyway, good luck with your grow, you'll find all the help you need here, lots of very experienced people (lots of newbies like me too, lol)

nice healthy looking plants! Are you using water directly from the tap or do u let it set out for 24 hours? Letting the water set out for a day b4 use allows all the chemicals and crap thats it local water to evaporate giving the plants fresher water. I usually put 2 gal of water in a safe place with minimal traffic and add nutes as i need to, keep good track though you dont want to give your plants any nute burn.

Never heard of paris kush b4 im excited for a smoke report!
