what do you mean move the fan outside the grow area?
idk the temp outside the grow area but its kinda warm. it was really humid today
it almost seems like my thermometer is lying to me... it doesn't seem that hot in there....

anyone there?
so this morning at 6:00 i got up to take a leak and realized my tray wasn't flooding! wtf! so i unplugged my fan so i could hear if the water pump was running. nope! needless to say my timer somehow reset itself? and i had to re enter everything and reset the time.
BUT! i forgot to plug the fan back in.....
so about a half hour later i was half asleep and noticed the lights were off!! then i noticed the ballast turned off and the red light was flashing. so after opening my cabinet and seeing the temperature was at 97 i realized i never plugged the fan back in! so i plugged it back in and within 5 minutes it was cool. so i plugged the ballast back in and it fired right back up
thank god
i love this ballast, it somehow knew it was wayy to hot and shut it self down before the bulb exploded!
i won't be doing that again

well instead of flooding 4 times a day at 12am, 6am, 12pm, and 6pm. i am now flooding 8 times a day. at 12am, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm
i changed it because it seems like they are getting just way to dry

wellll i found an old sylvania 400w metal halide bulb. its OLD lol from the 90's. i popped it in and it fired right up the thing barely fit in my cooltube lol
its not quite as bright as the hps but a lot better for vegging

it just doesn't seem as bright. don't they have a few thousand less lumens?
