All right we made some changes. we added another computer fan as an intake fan. that has helped. the plants are now exploding with new growth. they aren't drooping.

I was right about the avg temperature. it's about 78 in the box.

we want to figure out how to lower the temperature of our water. it's usually around 74-76 degrees. we want to lower it to prevent pythium.. our buckets are black. should we cover the outside with white contact paper or mylar or something to reflect the light? i think the buckets being black might heat up the reservoir a little too much.

ph is steady around 5.8. still, we have no idea what the strain is. :-/

ec is unknown.. we have not purchased a meter. we are adding just ph-corrected water to the solution when we top it off.
