10-15f , but under the table it may be less. Maybe I will put my hygrometer down there for a cycle to see. Would also think being in there may raise my humidity.

Even some white spray paint would be a major improvement over the black in a pinch on the buckets, then some white/reflective insulating wrap for your tubing.

I am in the same boat here, tap comes out just over 300. I found a place down the street that will let me fill my own 5 gallon carboys for $0.25/gallon for R/O water. I am switching over to just straight R/O and will be adding cal/mag to it. Keep in mind if you use distilled, it is much more...

The reflectix is about $16 for 25' at Home Depot. Its like Franks Red Hot sauce

Will keep an eye out, but my current grow uses two 5 gallon buckets on the same table (14" tall) I am going to use for the E&F. The water feeds in through the top and drains out of the bottom through 1/2" tubing back that meet at a "T" for the two buckets and then returns to the res. I use a...

Thanks, for me seems like a small price to keep the res just that much cooler

Like this for your buckets, keeps light and heat out: I also covered my tubing with a towel, insulated wrap would be better.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

What type of roof? There is roofing tar that will seal that up and will be much more permanent and stable that just putting sheeting or a tarp over it. It goes on with a paint brush, just buy a super cheap paint brush because it will need to be tossed afterwards. This works if you have isolated...

**Flipped lights** Today will be the first day of 12/12. Plan on swapping out the res on Monday to my flowering nutrients. My plan is to run about 10 gallons of straight ph adjusted water through the system while I clean out the res (5 gallons recirculating for 10 minutes, then dump and run...

I would get a smaller footprint dialed in first. I think 2x600 would probably be more efficient in that space, from a electricity usage and temp management standpoint. I still wouldn't do it until you got a couple runs under your belt in the space, a lot of other things to concentrate on. Then...

I dont know about those soil PH meters. Your talking about the ones that test soil PH, light and sometimes event moisture. I use a water PH tester and check the water that is going in. If I saw issues, I may also test the PH of the run off water to see how my medium was buffering. I also just...

I included a link up above for a DIY muffler I made. Just leave out the scotch brite bag of active carbon and you got your muffler. If you are running at 100% speed on a bigger fan, it may not completely eliminate the noise though

That's just my cloner bucket. They will go into 6" net pots in an ebb and flow tray once the current batch is done flowering. The challenge may be that they will need to spend a few weeks in the cloner under a single CFL waiting for the space to be available. Assuming I can get at least 6 to...

where on the plant? down low or up top? Better if you can get a lights off pic. If your pH is way off, you could be locking something out, or it could be a cal/mg problem. N generally will show up on the lower leaves first. You can use this to try to help identify problems:

Thanks Joven. Hydro is definitely a learning experience for me. As long as this works out, I will be running an ebb and flow next with 6 plants in 5 or 6" netpots. I am hoping to keep veg time down to 2-3 weeks. I got a little 8 site 1gallon aeroponic cloner that I will take cuttings from the...

I usually do 2 at a time in my little 2'x4' tent but next grow I am going with a flood and drain table with 6 or 8 plants to bring down my veg time and reduce the amount of training I need to do. Nice construction work.

They look very good. Nice work on the training. One thing on the transplanting I found helpful. I like to try to up-pot a couple times instead of going straight to the big pots. I have done a few side by sides and when I do multiple transplants, I get more vigorous grows and a larger root...

Instead of stripping one down for clones, try taking a couple from each and label them. That way you can take the best growers and concentrate on those. Keeping track can be the toughest part, especially if like me, you tend to do your gardening while enjoying the fruits of your labor :bigjoint:

Go for it, I plan on taking clones about 2 weeks after flipping. 4 days is nothing really (particularly from seeds since they can take longer to transition). You success rate can go down, so just take a few extra. I want to take them late because I do not have a separate proper veg group, so if...
