well the inline fan has worked wonders to the stability of the tents temp. literary every time i open the tent its 65-72 (when lights are off) and 72-78 ....and only some times 78-80 (when lights are on)

its a great feeling to have issuance in the mind to know that there doing ok when your away. going to feed them some nut once the water drys up around the pots

it seems after the slight PH change they are looking a lot more happy . may be a lil early to tell but some how i can feel the positive feelings coming from them. stacked up with there temps being stable as well.

there rely only leaves two things remaining to have this fully automated.

1) a pump and set up a small fish tank for a res and have it drip on a timer

2) a humidifier that has a humidistat that would tern on and of and maintain a humidity of ..say 50?

the less i have to go in the tent the better to maintain stealth other then the sounds of fans. the more i go in there the more likely i will get fond out and quite possibly shut down

when there bigger i will be battling smell each and every time i open it. so i cant be opening it every time i need...feed/water/check temp/tern on inside fan... so i need a thrmomitor that can run into it and be viewed from outside the tent.

during watering i guess i will have to open it a crack and peak in to see if the water is pooling under pots. but i am sure that will not brake containment to much ... nothing a spray of AXE wont cure anyway.

i am thinking next time i have a bugit i will build a full blown hydro system to fit the tent ...with all the sounds going to be in the other room. i am thinking it would still be under the radar.

hay when i Ph my water had the perfect color and then i add the nute and Ph it again after 5 minutes and it was way red! is that normal that i need to do nuts first then PH it?

This may have happened when i mixed the ph for the coco core and could be a reason and other things that they looked all stressed cause if i remember right i Ph and then nut then add coco core so maybe i hit them with some heave acidic ph :(

i know i think you explain that to me before too .... guess i had to make this mistake myself to rely get it in my head Lol

k man this is whats going on.

I cant do this right.

the instructions on the maxi pack say to add 2 teaspoons so i used 1 like you were saying for a gallon. to make it mild?

i phed afterwords had that good color just like on the pic.
well after a day of adding it they have gotten worse its not just that one its all of them now showing them same signs.

I think what i am doing wrong is. that i am trying to shoot a basket at the 3 point line with my back facing the wrong way lobbing it ...just hoping it go's in the basket.

just to big of a long shot. for me. bottom line is at the course i am on with them there going to just die :(

got the system and everything to do it but i Do not have a system to feed them.
i can ph water NP but when it comes to these nutes i am just to noob to no what to do. i look on the web ..but i get endless pages of shit to read and even if the answer is right in front of me i just get lost and cant even see it in the hazy fog.

i need a chart or some thing ... a step by step to follow....a better know how ..but by the time i get it right these poor test subjects are going to proly die.

some pics of my failing plants.

hmm yeah i am thinking of creative ways to masks fan sound by like all ways having a room fan on in my room. or like maybe a fish tank making all that bubbling sound that is if i go hydro but a good friend of mine hinted to even use the fish tank for my res lol.
That's a great idea, I'm doing the same, actually I can't even start my cab before I have the aquarium all set up.
If you want to go aquaponics (using fish waste water to feed your plants) you will need to keep two things in mind: First is that you can't use any plant nutrients in the grow since it will kill your fish, second is that the aquarium will need about a month of smooth operations to balance itself and develop the characteristics suitable for your plants (you might have to use some additives that are needed by the plants and wont be produced by the aquarium - fishies)

yeah i thinking about this cause nutes seem to be a bit out of my leage. I have exp with keeping fish alive. and if fish keep my plants alive it would be a good balancing relationship lol.

any way i raised the lite way up hopefully this stops and once new growth ill get the leafs that were burned off and try this all over.

maybe the nutes were never the prob i guess i jumped the gun on that i mean i did follow the instructions to the T there really should not have been a OD here but i am unsure as to if maybe i put to much nute water in the pots i mean i mix a gallon add 1 teaspoon and gave the hole gallon to 8 pots ...maybe that's were i went wrong is that the volume of the solution i added.

i think that maybe all them burns dots i think may be drops of water that magnified like you were saying... wish i new that spraying while the lite is on is no good. hopefully it is that and from now on ill hit them an hour before lights on and right after lights off.
