18 degrees and your running co2? Should be at more likely 30 degrees. But seriously.... shorter and bushier and canopy and room heat and your yields should be a lot more. I have friends that pull 3 a light from a gavita.... not me though lol.
Ding ding ding... If your grow room isn't hot then it's the heat on your canopy. Keep those bitches shorter and bushier.... pinch them young make the plant have some substance. Gavitas aren't regular 1000's...
Haven't ran any side by side vs plastic. I run 5 gal fabric pots and the dirt is a pain in the ads to get out of the pot after harvest. I like an though. I figured 1 gal fabric pots less likely to go root bound then 1 gal plastics in your SOG scenario.
Whoops sorry. Waa going to say watering everyday can be a pain for some but if you follow the rule 1 litre for every gallon of soil or soil less you water roughly every 2-3 days.
So a 2 week veg in the smaller containers then flip the switch? I like it... very interesting. Might try the same one day for fun with 1 gal fabric pots.
3-4000 BTU per 1000W I'm pretty sure. Never used a portable AC but I think it should work you don't have too much to cool. I learned the hard way with high temps over how many lights before. Now it's all about environment first :cool:
