shit fuck. i didnt realise it shot up so much when it went 12/12..
so if its currently 20cm tall, and it will double to triple in height.... I have no space issues, only height issues, will be screening in a future grow (sog or scrog)
from the pics im guessing i need to let those leaves get a bit bigger then turn it? maybe 7-10 days?
so you need to make a screen or buy one, johnjayrambo has a video on youtube about how to make a net. It works great for keeping plants down.
To be blunt. Your broke, you cant afford a water chiller, you live an a hot climate. Nut up and drop a frozen bottle in there when your lights come on. Also since im being blunt. Stop feking with your damn ph and that rez! My four gallon rez goes from 6-7 in 15 days. Who cares, every drop of liquid other than water costs money. That damn plant is young bro, and it has a huge rez. You shouldnt have to change your rez untill the plant has consumed all the water in the rez once. The more you fek with it the worse your water quality gets. Set it and forget it. Check it every now and then to see what the plant is doing, measure your ph and ppm in the bucket to see if anything is changing.
i cant stand threads that meat ball is on so im out in a minute but just remember. If your taps ph is good and your nutes are buffered to 6 then you should have lots of time between when you have to do anything to your rez. Maybe dont fill your rez so much, if its under your plant, the whole thirty gal or whatever it was you can displace some of it with plastic soda bottles filled right to the top with water and if your res is off to the side...just dont fill it as much. Good luck
