I appreciate the info ZEM! I went ahead and setup the aeration system anyways, even though I'm pretty certain it's not necessary for my setup... I spent $50 total, which isn't too bad. Even if only settles my apprehension about not having the system in place, it,s worth it. I ended up getting...

Any body else in RIU land want to weigh in?

And thanks for the response Taviddude!!

I mix the RO'd water and nutes fresh every time I feed/water them, 1 gallon at a time... Sorry I didn't clarify before. I'm definitely going to set up a 5 gallon bucket aeration system, but I haven't yet and was wondering if I was potentially harming my plants. What size air pump would you...

I've been looking around for a definitive answer whether or not it's necessary to aerate my water/nutrient solution. I'm pretty certain it would be better, but is it necessary? Any advice would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

Dropped the lights to 18in and they seem to be doing well! I put a box fan in the doorway of the room my tent is in, pulling air from the room and increasing circulation of air inside as well. It's doing its job... After dropping the reflector to 18", the temps rose to 79 and after only 10...

Day 6 and they're looking great... Fed them a 500 ppm blue planet cocktail and cleaned the tray a bit. Temps are at 78 and humidity is at 48%, I'll take it for now. I still haven't found a method to pull cold air in from outside yet. This will solve both hunmidity and temp issues. I'm going to...

Left the tent at 75% while at work today and came home to temps at 84f with humidity at 27%. I restocked the ice bowl with large "cubes" made from to go containers and put about a 1/2 gallon of water into the tray, which has channels running through out, separating the 6" cubes from the water...

Thanks for the reply CCCmints! Does it make a difference that when I run 750w My temps are around 80 and at 500w I'm at 77 degrees. I get 50% more energy from a 3 degree raise in temp... It would seem to be worth the extra heat, no? I really need to find a way to pull air directly from outside...

Turned the lights up to 75% after getting home from work. Hopefully the tent stays under 80. My question is, is it better to run slightly hotter temps with more light or is it better to run perfect temps with less light? The girls are looking good, for the most part... The troubked one is still...

I got my temps down to 77 today by positioning my intake right above a bowl of ice... A little research pays off sometimes. Humidity is still low though. I put 2 5 gallon buckets 1/3 full of water and a wet t-shirt partially submerged in one of the buckets. If there's been change, it's only...

Day 2 in the tent and they're looking good... One has some yellowing, I'm not too concerned. It's probably having a tough time transitioning to the HPS, even though its only at 50% and 3 feet above the micro canopy. I'm going to feed them tonight the BPN for the first time... I had to buy water...

Thanks TGG! I went and picked up the clones from the nursery today and the Blue Dream weren't ready. Although, my boy had 13 rooted Chemdog clones that were ready to roll in 6" cubes on their 2nd day of veg! Pretty stoked on that. I put them under the lights at 50% and 3 feet above them. I...

Due to a lack of available rooted clones available and my impatience, I'm going with the 9 plant SCROG... A disappointment, but I'm still stoked to get this grow started. I'm picking up 9 rooted blue dream clones tomorrow from a buddy who's been my mentor and the person who really encouraged me...

I've been recently lured into doing a SOG grow by 420fieds and other successful grow journals. I'm not certain yet what exactly I'll be doing yet as far as mediums and plant numbers are concerned. As of now I'm decoding between a 48 plant rooted clone grow in 4" rock wool cubes straight to...
