How hot does ur T5 get in the tent. Do you have a inline fan?
Yes I have an inline fan exhausting air from the top of the tent out of the room as well as an intake fan.

It was hot as fuck at first without all of the ventilation. I got it down to 70* now.

For me Speed controlled fans work great for adjusting the temp. Those lights might do better in an open area

Just scored a T5 on Craig's. I just put back up my smaller tent so it's ready. I may need to get an inline fan then

What bulbs are in your T5,

Mines only a 2ft 4bulb T5 so I'm hoping it doesn't run as hot.

It has 6700 spectrum bulbs. Just for veg

Nice man! Its pretty badass having two tents On different light cycles. I have 6 bulbs (4ft) and I'm sure 4 would be cooler. More efficient too. Il check what kind when I get home. You could always get a cheap fan from a hardware store to get by. Congrats on the score bro!

Yep I hear u there! Too much fun. Gotta love the challenge and learning it pays off.

Here's the ventech fans I use to exhaust. I got one in each tent. Pretty pricey but well worth it. Its awesome being able to adjust it.

U should be able to find the bottom one at any hardware store to get by.

Those are some nice looking buds & girls. They look delish! What's does she smell like?
Thanks Oneprays, the girls smell sweet and smoky. Like actual chronic smoke. I was amazed how much they stunk in veg. The smell stays on my hands for hours lol :) I'm happy with these plants they are glistening in crystals. Hopefully it doesnt take too long for me to figure out how it likes to be grown.

that is possible metal has weird shit in it as do nutrients if acidic enough metal can make hydrochloric gas as it is eroding people used to put tinfoil in muriatic acid to rock meth & to separate ephedrine from gualfasine it's nasty shit breathe enough of it you end up with high levels of heavy metals in the bloodstream there is a reason a lot of those old meth cooks look tore up the red phosphorous don't help either

O boy, sounds like some dangerous shit! I'm gonna have to buy a weighted air stone or figure something else out. No way I'm keeping that in my water. Shouldn't need it soon anyways, Il just let the water sit out for a few days instead of aerating.

I've also been thinking about setting up an experimental hydro system. Id keep it in the same tents as my soil.

A 3gal DIY dwc doesn't seem to complex and I should be able to rig I up for about $30

A bud of mine has been trying to convince me its easier than soil. An experiment im guna have to try,

For science...

Experiment progress:
5gal dwc
GH flora line nutes
BD clone a few weeks old. I carefully removed all the soil from the Dixie cup it was in and put it in the 8" rockwool.

Soaked rockwool in phd water then soaked in 1/4 strength nutes before placing the clone

I have water in the bucket to keep humidity and air pump off until roots are through the rockwool

Figured for time bring Il water cube with 1/4 strength nutes when necessary until has roots to reach water

don't be alarmed if you get algae on top of your rockwool in a few days it don't hurt anything rockwool holds moisture for a long time prop 64 just passed
Good to know. Glad to have u onboard for advice! I just saw that it passed! Interesting change to sure. Hopefully it does affect the MMJ laws us too much. It has pros and cons but glad it did. I'm pumped up glued to the TV waiting for the president announced

yeah I'm not sure if I'm happy or not as it could very well end up being a double edge sword I've always wondered if you could use r/w block in dwc like you're doing I used to grow in blocks & 1x3 ft. slabs

I hear u there. Relatives and myself have never had a problem with the states MMJ laws.i couldnt ask for anything else personally. Wel see what happens.

They were out of hydroton at the hydro store, so they gave me this setup

Should I add 1/4 strength nutes everytime the Rockwool dries out?

Or plain water at all?

No roots through the cube for a while

I got my waterfarms at kirks hydro $47.00 for the whole kit ,pump hydroton& nutrients that almost cover a whole grow the waterfarm & nutes are made by gh. I used a tds meter that came with a water pitcher / filtration drinking water setup it works good as long as you stay under 1000 ppm which I've discovered you can do a whole grow & not have to feed heavier than that Amazon has the ppm kit pretty cheap I have since got a better tds meter but still use the little one sometimes you've got to at some point learn to rely on a ppm meter if you're gonna do dwc gh feeding schedule is in my experience way hot & in my first grow damaged my plants I also use the gh 3- part flora series nutes but am gonna go to floranova bloom only start to finish as its all you need established dwc growers have reached 1 lb harvests with a 400 hps & a single plant the stickman is one of them AnonEmaus is another(600w) long story short good results can be had if you work at it that's my goal image.jpegimage.jpeg
