new here,

Hi guys,

new to this forum, have been reading for a while but yeah.
so i started with a storage container $10, 2xt5 cool white xxw lights $16 the pair and a small 12cm desk usb fan $8, purchased a brick of coco for $2 and a couple timers, then did a germination using tap water and soaked for 2 days then transplanted to cotton wool balls, the shoots took off then i planted in coco, my grow went well for 2 weeks before having to pull.
moved into our new place and tried to do the same thing using bag seeds again this time round growth took forever, 8 weeks and still under 4 inches tall, so i sourced 2 super skunk clones, and built a cube from cube lock 95.5cm3, using mdf for a roof and door i used panda to seal the rest, i purchased a larger fan and some aquistic ducting, larger pots 15l and 2xhooded 80wcfl's, growth went well with clones for 2 weeks but not what i wanted, so i made a 1.45x1.95.1.8 grow room using cube lock and panda, i am now under a 600w mh light that uses hps running gear, cool tube, same fan 30l pots for the clones, 60l bin for water with a large fountain pump and air stone, i am drawing air in through a window and dumping the warm air into another room.
temps are 29-31 degrees Celsius with the light on, and according to 2 thermometers 22 with lights off although my hygrometer measures 8 degrees Celsius at some point...... not sure when, my humidity seems a little low 37-46 but i have a new system where my exhaust fan goes on for 40-45 minutes and is off for 15-20 in an effort to raise humidity, temp does not seem to go over 31degrees Celsius.
i am using house and garden a and b, nitrogen booster of some sort, rhizotonic folar feed and in the nute mix, and a growth enhancer my shop gave me for free, mix is 1.2ml per liter of a and b, 1ml per liter nitrogen booster, 4ml per liter rhizo, 1ml per liter of the booster.
ph is 5.5-5.7 nute mix
ph runoff 6.0-6.1.
at one stage my seedlings turned yellow but that was due to run off ph being 7+ and lack of nutes so a decent flush and some nutes fixed this .
pics up soon.
i seem to have a nute problem again but its hard to describe it may just be in my head.

ok so unable to upload pics just yet.
so turns out that my ph meter although brand new (well 1 week or 2 old) was reading 1.4ph higher then it should..... my slight nute problem as i referred to earlier turned out that because i was thinking my ph was 7.1 again, it was 5.xx and i was trying to flush frantically with 5.5 which was actually 4.xx so obv i was feeding too acidic nute or water........ so right now my new growth is pale yellow with green tips, i am noticing my tips on the edges curling up and changing color and some spots that almost look as if something is eating it....... i am almost certain it is not insects i spend hours in my room studying them, smelling them, looking over them and i have not seen a single insect, i also have carrots growing, red onions and tomatoes that are actually growing better then my super skunk :/

from this 1m3, 55cfm fan and 4x18wgrolush fluoros
to this 1m3,200cfm fan, 2x80w cfl
then 1.5x2x1.8m3, 200cfm fan, 600w mh using hps running gear, cooltube and 30l pots, H&G coco, a&b nute, mighty grow enhancer, fongarid, rhizo the last two pics show my problem

Did you calibrate the meter with 7.0 and 4.0 solution so you don't have to guess as to if it's floating more than that, out of curiosity?

she's a girl ^.^custom, i believe its called flood to drain??

figong, actually yes, my local store was open today luckily and i was able to purchase some, i went in and they checked it, then calibrated it, i then asked to buy some to ensure this doesnt happen again, also just to anyone else reading, you should calibrate your ph tester weekly
