We are at the start of week 5 of veg. Topped twice. EC 2.3 ph 5.9 playing around with higher grow room temps around 90 this week. Preparing to scrog and let veg one more week then flip. The last two plants were defoliated 2 days after the rest. Today I installed insulation around all my piping. The higher temps where making my chiller work on overdrive.

Yeah, you don't need to go above 86-87°. But if you wanna experiment, go for it. But I think it's only going to be a stress more so than an advantage.
Even in a led room? I thought optimal leaf temp was 85?

RH freaked me out when I first turned the temp up to 82 because of the supposed better mag intake under white led. I honestly forgot about VPD and freaked out when I went in there and it was like 70%. Tried to correct it and eventually had the realization to check some charts again lol.
I have also adopted 82F room temp for the flower tent under led panels.
Tent was 81F/70% today and they seem to be loving life right now. Maybe a bit too much, theyre growing like weeds.

Yes. 86-87 is like absolute Max you would EVER need to go without adding Co2 and even then, I don't know if any thing over 86-87 would benefit even then.

Great setup. But what's the 2" on the front for again? The connecting pieces between totes would be more than enough to get the water back to the res I'd think?

Bruh you're in a great spot. Flip in a little more than a week. Maybe 10 days or 14. They'll be right up on the net and once you flip, you'll be in there EVERYDAY taming the vicious stretch.

Looks like its pretty much like mine with connections on both ends of the totes? Its kinda hard to tell with the angle.
I looked at this earlier and swore I posted on it, but guess not.
Was also going to say give it a week or two and it should be right in there.
Looking really good so far.
I was under the impression I didnt connect the 1st tote to res. So the return comes from last tote back to res. So it actually circulates
I was worried about number 2 and 5 they are more squat than the other 3 so I lowered my scrog 2 inches. To help them get there and start to spread out. I planned 6 week veg. So I have one more week so I plan to light defoliate and lst and get them netted tonight
Haha I posted in grow journals but wasnt getting any responses. But the return is connected from the last tote back to res. I have one more full week of veg so after tonight we will see what I'm working with

Some people dont want people posting in their journals so it's pretty generally accepted that you dont post in peoples journals unless they ask. So might have been where u posted.
Gotcha
These are some thirsty girls adding 10gal every 5 days. EC 2.0 ph 5.8 water temp 66-68 room temp reaches 90 then the ac kicks in to keep room at 86 to 88 degrees. Today is day 2 of week 6 of veg. For being a week behind the rest #5 is putting on a show.
