As long as your nute temps are 58-70 your ok....50-55 won't really hurt anything but growth rate. Flush them out with PHed water...I would say run it with just water for 1 day then add the nutes and such.
As far as ambient temps Stinky is right but keep that res under 70. I second the idea of a foliar spray...iv used a very dilute spray of micro nutes in the GH 3 part with no trouble.
I dont think you will see an improvement in the old growth...not sure but keep an eye on the new for sure. The spray should help. Since the res is so cold you could run the temps in the 80s no problem. That should help.
Go buy some insulation and wrap the buckets up...much more stable that way. Easier to control the temps, you could even add some warmer water and with the insulation the temps should stay much longer.
I wouldnt say im an expert but I do have some experience....I would feel more comfortable if an expert chimed in..but I do feel pretty confident in my solution.
I raised my canopy temps to 83 degrees, not sure what it is at night yet.
Do you all still recommend foliar feeding even though late in flowering? Do you foliar feed right when the lights go out?
I also used foam board under the buckets and controller. I wrapped the controller in a big blanket.
Looked in the local stores and have yet to find a aquarium heater. When that gets hooked up I will recirculate the system with a pump as well.
Anything else?
Thanks for your time

I went and got the aquarium heater and stuck it into the controller, works great, 65 degrees.
My day temps at canopy are now 83-85, and night are 60 degrees.
I got a pump to recirculate the water but I haven't hooked it up because its magnetic drive. I heard it removes iron. Can I not use this?

if i were u i'd give ur plants a good flushing with some florakleen and lower ur nutes to 1/2 str.. white rhino don't like 1200 ppm.. i'd keep ur ppm about 800 to 1000 at the most...
Flushed it a couple times... So even in peak flowering White Rhino doesn't like it over 1000ppm? Its at 1350 right now and there not burning or wilting. If anything the leave tips are pointing up, I figured I could keep going.
put oxygen solution in the water and a drop or two of super thrive watch um go green baby
02 solution?
They are also now getting brown rust spots on some of the leaves. I think its because I doubled my kool bloom in my top off water.
