Day 4
My modified supply list:
Hydro Grow indoors
What I’m using:
*2 Auto Amnesia Haze
*2 Root spa, Hydro bucket bubblers
*Tent 2x2x4
Led full spectrum light 1200w
Humidifier
Fan
*Heat pad w/temp controller
Timers
*Tap water (let it sit for 2 days & ph 5.8
Clay pebbles
Rock wool
Loupe
Fiskar clippers
Airtight glass jars
*starred items indicate (for my own reminder) changes made.
Small tent is in and up. I put tbe old girl in to finish up. A bit cramped but it’ll work.
The 2 new girls are peeking out at me and almost ready to drop into the basket. One thing I do love about hydro, pop your seed, drop into rockwool, then into the bubbler.
I took a few pics. I’ll post later.

Nice!
If you get a cheap bubbler and air stone to throw in your tap water, you can get away with not letting it sit that long. I’ve bubbled my tap water for as little as 3-4 hours and used it without any ill effects. Overnight would probably be better, but morning of would be plenty.

It didn’t effect anything except need more ph down on a water day when feeding it was actually pretty close to where i needed it tho

Into the 4s so if adding a bubbler would help ill do it lol beterr than adding up constantly imo
@dbrn32 ok ao im not the only one who has experienced that

Not at all. I’m sure you can find a way to play it into your favor. I’ve never seen the ph shoot straight up, it’s usually a creep over time. So maybe bubbling less or more based on what you need? Shoot, maybe even find a way to not use any ph adjusters at all.

You don’t think 90 is a little high? I’m usually pretty comfortable up to mid 80’s, but at 90 I would be looking to make some changes.

It is but outdoor it gets over 100 and they still go I’ve had 95s in my tent and don’t like it my other suggestion would to open all flaps and point a fan outside the tent blowing out air in vents or open it when the lights are on what’s your schedule on your lights

It gets stressful for you and the plants it’s not ideal but it is a weed and very Resilient bigger tent and a carbon filter you will be set
That’s a powerful light in such a small tent!
I keep my temps down by cracking a window in the room my tents are in (drops temp by anywhere from 2-10 degrees),or by propping open the door to my room by about 4 inches.
I know, not amazing advice, at all, but it works for me. 
.
In my 2.5x5x6 tent, I have 900w of galaxy hydro leds, an intake fan, a small clip fan, and an exhaust fan; temps peak at 81 during the day & 68 at night (rh 35-75). I keep the front flaps partially open from 8am-5pm.
In my 2x4x5 tent, I have 600w of galaxy hydro leds, one passive intake flap open, an occilating fan, and an exhaust fan; temps peak at 75 day & 65 at night (rh 45-65). This tent stays closed tight.
Next year, I plan on venting the room, itself, to help keep the tents at better temps.
