Hello,
I'm looking for and additional advice regarding bringing the humidity up in my 6000w room and the correct way to add nutrients before feeding out of 5 gallon water jugs.
Here's the story:
This is a Ca non-profit grow for our patients. I have been growing for years but the largest indoor was a 4000w room. This current room was built back in spring and I ran it as 3600w with excellent results but took way too long under 600w. I upped the wattage to 6k now and the humidity is too low at 26% with temps higher than I'd like at 85 degrees.
Setup
8 x 11 room
6 x 1000w digital ballasts
Carbon filter with 700 something CFM fan running to a split cooling 3 lights on each end
FFOF & 20% perlite
40 plants 5 gallon buckets
24,000 BTU split system AC
Intake filter
Running from 8pm to 8am
85 degrees 26-30% humidity
Strains:
Blackjack
Pie Face OG
Shapeshifter
Boss OG
Sour Patch Kids
Dream Queen
Kosher Kush
Nutrients:
Earth Juice veg
Earth Juice Bloom
Earth Juice Micro
Seaweed extract
Bone meal
Calmag
Molasses (switching back to Carboload or something else for carbs)
Questions:
1. What is the best way I should go about lowering the temps and raising the humidity? The AC is set at 61. Would a swamp cooler do the trick?
2. I read there should be a specific method adding nutes into the 5 gallon. For example adding the Bloom then shaking the jug, then adding the other nutrients. Is this true?
3. Is it ok to mix the nutes say in the morning and then let it sit until its time to water at 8pm when the lights come on? Or does it need to be constantly moving?
4. I was told to only use CalMag the first couple weeks of flower. I've been using it throughout for years and a master grower I know said he could taste it in the bud. Is this true?
Thank you for your replies.
