Yea man I agree I've been debating on buying a 600 watt ballast. Maybe after I harvest in a few weeks. So I'll probably mover either a 400 watt mh or my solarstorm in there. I kind of like the dual spectrum in flower so that would be a tough decision Lol. Moral of the story, damn t5s run hott
Got my meters and they are great quality. City lied to me, tap water is 200 ppm but I guess it could be worse. Or maybe my old plumbing...who knows. Res temp is 74 which isn't horrible but building my next unit with a smaller pump and buying a recycle timer to do 1 min on 5 off. Right now I'm 15/15 because that's the only timer I have and running it 24/7 is too hot. I'm getting there. Have to do another res change tomorrow or wendsday so I can monitor my ppm it was way low when I measured today and kinda wanna start fresh. First setup is going to contain 4 plants with a 1 week veg. Hoping to have 4 rooted clones of the critical kush in 3 weeks to start
