I have ascertained Ph Up and Down.
What type and how much lighting are you using? Congrats on the new nest and lower temps... what are they now?
Out of curiosity, did you see much growth at 90 degrees?
Good luck, wonderful thread and grow... keep us updated.
peace

Actually, I think I saw a *decrease* in growth when the temps dropped. Its about 70-75F now thats it's not in a contained box, so they have the same ambient temperature of the room they are in. I think the higher the temperature, the faster the plant grows. So basically, as hot as you can get it without the plants wilting and being heat stressed is the best temperature I would have to believe. If you have a mutant plant that can handle 110 degrees and thrive in it, i'm sure it would grow much faster than in 75 degrees. But no plant can take that much heat!

I'm using a 150w ecoplus fluorescent as the main light in the batwing reflector (10,000 lumens just one fluorescent!) I also have a 4" shoplight (probably about 5000-6000 lumens), and 3 26w CFLs (1700 lumens a piece). So i have about 20,000 lumens for 6 plants, in a 1.5' wide by 3' long grow area. When they flower they will have much more light since it they will be moved into my flowering chamber
