I understand heat issues, apparently to me what my body feels to be around seventy degrees is actually eighty. I guess I always have run hot though. lol
If you are running mh instead of hps because of heat, i thought from what i've read that hps ran a little cooler. Anyways just curious because i am currently on my first grow, and everything right now is a learning experience. I don't think I read this much in high school. :jointsmile:

Well I learned the HPS do send off alot of heat with the red spectrum... So for this first grow I went floros and MH. There doing pretty well the Chocolope has this citrus smell that is so inviting....I cant wait.

You still have some time to go man, 8 weeks is the general rule of thumb for flowering period, about 60 days total, but when you are getting to about day 45-50 you be the judge by how many of the hairs have turned brown, unless you go out and buy yourself a handheld microscope, then you can judge on when to harvest by looking at the trichomes themselves. I don't have a microscope yet, so I judge by the hairs, usually when about 10% of them are brown I go ahead and begin to flush, clean phed water, then when about 75% are brown I harvest.

I use baking soda as ph up and some stuff I found at lowes for ponds and stuff for ph down. I ph all my water to ~6(I'm using the GH ph solution drops) after mixing nutes.

hope this helps!
