Hey all, I wanted to post an observation that I had over the past few days. I have an AG veggie pro and I grow in a ventilated cab which with the 125w CFL and the AG hood the temp stays pretty good in there.
Even though my plants were growing like weeds (pardon the pun) I decided not to leave well enough alone and to cover my ag in foil like I have seen so many do on these forums. When I did this I noticed that my plants slowed down noticeably. When I went to check the PH today I noticed that the water was COLD.
The only thing I can imagine is that the foil was keeping the light from reaching the black res and therefore it no longer absorbed any heat.
I have removed it, tomorrow morning I am going to confirm that the water has warmed up again.
I thought I would share with the rest of you.
