Good morning sports fans!
I have an update, I had an algae issue again that killed my two G Force and one G13 Haze seedlings. It was the old hydroton that I should have tossed. Well, it is in my trash now! Three Dame Blanche and one Ice seedlings have survived and are really doing well. I am using no nutes except for a morning foliar feed with 1/4 strength Dutch Master Penetrator mixed with Folitech Grow!
No ph issues and the water is clear. I just put them under my 400 watt MH in my Homebox. I was doing a test run with my system and the temps shot up to 9o degrees. I only had a small fan blowing directly. So I searched on this site for heat issues, and decided to add a large fan blowing directly on the plants, which brought temps down to 88 degrees. Then I put the small fan on a chair pointing directly on my air-cooled hood, and temps are holding at 84 degrees! Humidity is 46%.
I am waiting for my 6" duct to arrive and I got my 6" inline fan in two days after ordering from HTG Suppy! They kick butt. The fan has 465CFM and will be exhausted out into the attic above my closet.
When I get that all set up, I will add three White Russian and three Bubblicious seeds that I got yesterday from theattitdeseedbank.com.
I will give another update soon. As always I bow down to the "pot gods" on Cancom!!
