That about sums up my dilemma, haha! So I error on the side of "less is more".GroErr said:Trying to remember doesn't work very well when you have multiple grows going. Trying to remember what I did in each grow doesn't work for me (sampling the wares doesn't help!), 1/2 the time I'm wrong if I try and guess, if I didn't have the logs I'd be all over the place.
I will def. be posting the progress with the 630 light. I haven't seen any logs with that light yet.
As far as the heat, I should be OK. I over-sized my new exhaust fan to an 8" Vortex VTX800S 728CFM quiet fan and will use an 8" skinny Phresh filter rated at 500-750 CFM. I plan on running the fan at the low end first. Then increase based on temps. I should be fine since my basement temps are pretty steady at 68F in summer, 58-60F in winter. I should have no problems dealing with the heat with that intake temp. I calculated around 350 CFM is all I need. I plan to run the light at least 24" from the canopy to start. If the exhaust heats up the basement and my intake, I have a plan in place to pipe the exhaust outside.
Here is a pic of my issue that pop up randomly. The below pic is a White Widow clone in veg that started showing the yellowing symptoms in veg. I usually don't see this in veg either, but I think this is overfed, underfed,or has pH imbalance. I'm guessing overfed since I put it in my flower soil mix. Might have been too hot for this youngun. My meter got wet and I don't trust it anymore, so until I get a new meter I am shooting in the dark. I can't tell if it is lockout due to overfeeding/pH or a deficiency. It starts out looking like a Mg deficiency with the edges of the leaves turning yellow, then gets worse. Last time this happened it cleared up with a transplant into some fresh soil and plain waterings. I'm going to let this one dry out good, then transplant into a 1 gal. square pot to see if it recovers. I should note my water is fairly hard also, so I don't supplement any Mg. Maybe its just Mg deficient. I do have some cal-mag I could try after the transplant and no recovery.
