I'm not sure exactly what your heat issues were but 5 1ks is a whole lot different then one cmh. You've got some experience though so I'm sure it will work out fine or you'll learn from it lol.

I just wanted to point out what looked like a missed opportunity to get more light on your plants. It might even be closer then it looks in the pictures.

I also haven't used a non air cooled reflector since my first grows. I cool my lights and then get them as close to my plants as I can to maximize the penetration and intensity.

I have a 12 x 12 flower room and 12x12 veg room. The tent is for trying new things out before it goes into the other rooms.

Nice I wish I had an experimental space!

I am on my first grow and using the ph perfect base nutes. They are good nutes, but if you are like me, you want the best for your plants.

Thing about AN nutes is there are like 10 other bottles, not including the base nutes, to get the most out of your plants. This will get very expensive and if you have money to throw away, then go for it.

Thing is, I don't and it has caused me to question how I am going to feed my plants going forward. I like the Megacrop cuz it provides everything that AN splits up into different bottles.

I never tried anything from AN but I did do House n Gardens full line very $$$., purchased quite a bit from GH and RAW which was quite pricey as well. Made the switch to GreenLeafs Mega Crop and love the simplicity and results of it. Never purchasing an over priced watered down fancy labelled nutrient ever again. Can I get an AMEN! I think my soap box is breaking....I'll step down now.

Advanced nutrients update
My water is at a ph of 9 and I mix a 55 gallon barrel add nutrients the ph goes to 7. I didn’t use it all and the next day it was back at 9. I contacted advanced in Toronto and they said to ph the water first then add nutrients lol. I’m going back to gh

With that being said. They told me that advanced nutrients works even tho the ph is showing 4 or as high as 8 and to put away my ph pen.

AN is famous for ripping off their customers, avoid their products.

So 9 is a pretty high ph to start with. I would wonder how the nutrients and ph would behave if you did ph it first? Just a curious thought. I've never started with a ph that high.

I have to add ph up before I mix my nutrients so that when the are mixed it's right at the happy spot. It stays nice and stable after that though.
