this is the last vid of this lil seris. bfq you might be interested in this one IM going to gow with the kinda grow you where talking about.
Email I think this is a setup kinda like yours. Your thoughts on the equipment I have would be great.
Ok so there is no sound on this clip... I dont know what happend but there is no sound. In it I mention that I think the ballast are switchable because I do have a metal hilade bulb that came with everthing else. the co2 tank is empty witch I will get filled for next grow along with getting a regulator and timer etc....

congrats on the AC! personally, i think the only chance you have of getting your temps manageable is to make that big area into 2 (or better yet, 3) closed off areas so you can pump the hot air out of the grow. i wouldnt get all nuts with drywall, but i would frame and then plastic cover the frames. once you make your grow area an actual tank it gets a LOT easier to cope with too hot of air because instead of having to cool the whole area, you just have to cool your intake and then exhaust the air fast to cool it down.
while your thermometers show that things are super hot, the plants themselves are not complaining too much at all. they do show some signs of heat stress, but not what i would expect at upper temps in the ballpark of 100 F.
in that space, i would really want to make one veg area to feed two flower rooms with either 1200 or 1800 watts per area (assuming you have all 600 watt HPS). the veg room i would keep kind of small.
another thing that just popped into my head... if you lowered your op you could hang a ceiling over your grow and this would allow you to duct your hot air up and over the plants and insulate them from that hot air.
of course, cool tubes are clearly in your future.
i think with this grow you have shown you are a competent farmer and can handle the equipment. a bit of patience and some time making your room *perfect* and you will be growing top notch buds time in and time out
i think i hate you

I love the videos. Your buds also look a little plumper than mine despite your heat problems. And you're only using 1/6 of that room. I think I hate you too, lol.

No vid today, sometimes the stills are all it takes!
Ok to the point. On my plant that has been the healthist this entire grow I am starting to get concerned with the yellowing that is going on in the large fan leaves. To this point I have not been to concerned with a lil yellowing here and there. but this seems to be spreading and is not clearing up... for the past 3 days I have been checking my res for ph and ppm levels.
day one ppm 1042 ph 6.4 which I brought down to 5.7 with my ph down solution.
day two the ppm jumped up to 1160 this is 3 days after changing the water in the res so it is where I would expect it to be with the runoff and evap..
My lower canopy temps are l-78 and h-88 the top of the canopy low 88 and high is 93.. I know this is way to high but its as good as I can do with it for now. after this grow there will be a new design in the room as most of you already know.
here are some pics of the two plants showing the yellowing leaves.. the other plant is the one I abused, which btw is also being supported by yo yos now.
this is the one that i abused it is also showing the yellow
They look fucking horrible!! I'm almost ashamed to post pics!! What do you guys think is causing this?? DB? GRN? Email I know you have a similar system, hydro at least.. what do you think??
Now for just straight pics of the plants and a lil porn! No dirt bag mind you but I try!

got some pics of the yo yos in here also
you can see the lines for the yo yos in the pic above.

very nice, day what again?... sorry, forgetful mind and lazy hand.
They are hairy as hell...
I wouldn't be that concerned about the leaves if i were you. isnt it normal, and they by no means look like they are dying.

I'd say your buds look more cola like than mine and are only 5-6 days older, hope mine get like that. The leaves- i dont know... I am going with its normal... I hope- optimistic for ya.

I wish I had more experience with your setup. Is it a recirculating rez? Is it possible to measure ph and ppm of runoff? That tells me so much about my plants. You obviously have major nitrogen deficiency but the cause will be revealed by the runoff numbers. You and I are both on the home stretches of the grows so a little yellowing is okay but if what you are getting out of the medium in relation to what you are putting in is out of whack it would be a problem. BTW, those are some hairy monsters.

very nice dude! and u shouldn't concern bout the yelowing
fuck that yellowing. they are finishing up and sucking the N out of those leaves. you may have an actual problem with your nutes, but it is so late i wouldnt go chasing it to fix it.
the buds look great!
the plants are coming to the end of their lives and sucking everything they can out of those big leaves.... take those really nasty looking leaves off since they are spent.
