Ok....just reread...you'll need to change your rez in the next day or two....reg tap water plus CalMag is too much minerals etc.....
In a pinch you can use SMALL amounts of baking soda to raise ph and distilled white vinegar to lower it. Check the ph carefully and often.
i see u have a fan on ur ballest i do that too i would suggest getting an inline or cage fan with sum 4inch duct and setup in the room so to pump old stale air out and help get sum air in there
palerider,I don't have a problem getting an inline cage fan,that is a terrific idea,but how will I do it without a light leak,outside that window is the outside and you could probalby see that bright light from across the street.So is there something I can buy to allow me to vent out and still be lightproof...Or is that an oxymoron?
Bend the duct, light doesnt go around corners very well.

Now that makes a lot of sense,that my project for tomorrow
I really need that ventilation
I guess do you learn something new everyday.I knew I needed ventilation but I didn't want to sacrifice being "Light proof".I thought the light would've traveled straight through the duct,if you bend it at the right angel the light really has to fight to be visible.Yesterday after adding the 64oz of tap water to my 3 1/2 gallon rez,I noticed that some of my leaves were curling,I thought to myself,"that can't be good"I took weedhound's advice and changed the solution today.Current stats:5.5 (im positive!) I also added 150ppm of cal-mag and 290 ppm veg food,a total of 440.I really apprieciate all the time and help you guys are putting in,just so that I can enjoy some fresh homegrown buds.Thanks all
I really notice the difference between good air and stale air.This is just a small fan pushing the air out..that's true.I do notice the difference in temp.tomorrow,I will go and get a squirrel cage fan
well i ment duct it to another room and keep the window sealed up or cut a hole in the wall and duct it to another room and if u can't do that cut a 4 inch hole in the ceiling and let it blow into the attic.i don't like messing with windows or anything that people would look at and say whats that for?u know what i mean.are u in an apt or house? and in the house or apt where is the room at is it close to the washer/dryer area?
p.s cause the way u have it set up there when they get older u will need a air filter as u are blowing all the tomato smell out the window and u know what that does lol
that really,is the only place that I can vent but I rigged it to where you if you were trying to look inside all you would see is darkness,I am very proud to announce that today was the first day I woke up and the plants were actually not looking sick,thanks to all you'll.I am learning so much from this grow because of all of the errors I encountered.Thanks all.After this grow I think I will be ready to hand out some advice.I learn one very important thing...Make Sure The PH is what it says it is.It's almost like your plants can talk to you without vocalizing...if you pay close enough attention.Thanks all current stats 410ppm 5.3
PS When can I start flowering to weed out the males?
They look hungry to me.....I would take the PPMs up around 700 and see how they respond.
