Im now on day seven from taking my clones and ive only had ppms drop once. The rest of the time theyve gone up because of my ph down. Or other reasons im not aware of. If phosphoric and nitric acid are P and N how would that not affect ppm? Only one of the four is starting to have roots come out...

So im not even 100% sure this is a problem yet but im confused about the ppm reading im getting. When i add general hydroponics ph down (powder) to my water it raises my ppm reading. I have been reading on here that other people have the same issue. Im wondering how i am to follow any type...

The last few days have been a headache to say the least. It turned out the new fan i got was a little messed up and getting it rigged up was a complete pain in the ass. It is running now and pulling alot more air but im looking into getting a different fan one that isnt damaged at all. Any...

Im thinking that might just be the way to go. I ran ducting from the ceiling exhaust fan. to right above my light to draw the heat directly from the source and i put a fan outside the vent in the door to blow in fresh cool air.Still running my swamp cooler 24/7, it currently only has a 4 inch...

So it says suitable for use with solid state speed controls.

I was thinking about that. I have an automatic adjustable thermostat, that you set the temp you want the fan to come on at, i was considering using. Do you think that would have a similar effect? Only coming on when the heat gets above a certain temp or controlling the speed of the fan with a...

Day 24 for most of them ( not all my seeds germinated at the same time). Changing lights to 12/12 when they get around six inches to sex them.

I was considering going with led but i was unsure if an led that would be good for my space would be in my budget. I havent really spent much money on trying to get this exhaust right. The new fan i got was free and the vents and ducting didnt cost much. I ended up ordering an apollo 600w mh/hps...

My temp went down a little. I just added a vent in the door to the room for intake. I put a screen between the vents to block some light but it doesnt seem like much air is moving through it. I might remove the screen. I may have to upgrade the fan in the ceiling but im thinking i will wait till...

So today i turned the ceiling exhaust fan on and switched the fan blowing on my plants to a smaller one ( i read that to much air moving over your plants will dehydrate them quickly) and my temps are the same if not a little higher and like i feared my humidity has dropped. Could this be because...

The only reason im worried about losing my co2 is my temps are high and humidity was very low. Humidity is better now. I only put the co2 in to compensate for those problems. If i get those problems under control i dont need to have the co2. My thinking was that the ceiling fan wouldnt help much...

I will try running the ceiling fan this evening when the lights come back on to see if it helps. Im just afraid that without ducting to the actual light it won't cool it much and will just pull out all my humidity and co2. When i get my new light setup i will run a duct from the ceiling exhaust...

Thanks everyone for all the tips. I appreciate it more than you know. With my swamp cooler now working properly im getting 86 and 60% humidity. hadnt been using the ceiling exhaust fan for fear of losing my humidity and co2 and my only option for intake is to put a vent in the door or cut a hole...

I got the correct pad for my swamp cooler yesterday and set it up. I also aimed the fans off the ballast and light and removed the hot plate. My humidity is up to 60 or so when the lights on and around 70 when off. My temps are staying around 87 or 88 i would still like them to be a little...

Ya i was looking into one of those when i found homemade swamp coolers and i like to build things so i went that route but they didnt have the type of pad i needed at home depot or lowes so i got something that looked similar because i was eager to build it but it was the wrong material. Ordered...

Some more pics to get a better idea of what im workin with.

This is my setup. If anyone knows anything about this ballast please let me know. Any recommendations on lighting for veg or flower would be greatly appreciated

Well before the hotplate i was getting temps around 85 and i read thats ok with co2 but my humidity was still too low. I didnt think the hotplate on a low setting would add as much heat as it has. Ive also been messing around with different fan positionings and attempting to use a homemade swamp...

Wow im deffinately going to aim my fans away from the light itself and try that. I put a different hygrometer in the room a few feet from the light and plants and im getting a 10% difference from the petco hygrometer i have right next to the plants. When the light is on the onle closest to it...
