    Multiple Tents, 1 Fan?

    Roger! My biggest input would be run as large as you can go with the ducting, run a large diameter fan, and avoid as many bends as possible. You can buy a 1500 cfm fan and only actually be pulling about 200 cfm or so (seen that done..) because of poor duct routing or sizing.

    Multiple Tents, 1 Fan?

    I have a 745 cfm 8" fan running into a duct tee. One of the ends of the tee goes to a small veg tent (and it's cool tube MH light), the other goes to a duct booster fan (200 cfm) and up to my larger flower tent. Works well, sucks the tent walls in, no smell. The veg tent is 3x2x5 and the flower...

    First grow - yep.

    Here are the pics... kinda late. Oops. Been battling terribly slow growth because my house is poorly insulated (old) and the roots are getting down to extremely low Temps (from 58-66) is typical. I may buy a small water heater and set it to 62 or so

    First grow - yep.

    just did a reservoir change and did a little modification to my setup.. I put the 4x2x5 tent up on a stand so the reservoirs are not in the tent, instead they are under. My thought is keeping them out of the warm tent may keep the res Temps down, as well as giving me more vertical growing space...

    First grow - yep.

    For veg I've been running it at 50%. 24/7. just upped to 75% for the next couple of days before I flip. When they stretch I'll play it by ear. Bending and tying what I see fit to fill my tent and allow air flow. Subsequent grows Ill scrog them

    Healthy plants discolored and wilted

    Here's a pic of each plants roots. The buildup on one of the roots is from the heisenberg tea I added (I assume so at least) - it has no bad smel.

    Healthy plants discolored and wilted

    Well I think I may have fucked up. My roots were getting tangled on the air lines going to the bubblers... I lifted a net pot up and tore the roots off. (the roots were rather pathetic as is..) currently 1 of the 3 plants has dangling roots. The other 2 have a ton of tiny ones barely poking out...

    Healthy plants discolored and wilted

    Gotcha. Plants look the same as they did yesterday. Checked the ph and it climbed up to about 6.2 - not sure if there's something buffering the ph change or if i have other issues. Anyway, I added a touch of ph down and will check ph every couple of hours. Brewing more heisenberg tea to toss...

    Healthy plants discolored and wilted

    Hey guys I appreciate all the help! My nice ph/temp meter got here, I'm glad I fored over the cash for a nice one. Turns out the water that I thought was at 6.0 was actually at 5.2 in one tote and 5.3 in the other. I'm guessing that was my issue??? I got them both at 5.80 now, ran some of the...

    Healthy plants discolored and wilted

    Water level is just slightly under netpots. All the plants have roots that are in the water. The roots 2 of the plants (master kush and flo) have two or 3 solid roots with hairs that are fairly long. But the blue dream only has 1 longish root but many more just poking out of the netpot. Is that...
