Ya know, I was lookin at your pic again and it looks like the one closest to that a/c unit was effected the most. Is that right?
Also I think the water level should be where it was before this started, They are already having a hard time, I wouldn't foliar feed now.
(just in case) When I said half strength nutes I didn't mean half the water level... You knew that right?

The one in the worst shape is the back left plant. I jus checked the airstone an that one was def NOT working at full capacity so maybe that is why it's in the worst condition. Yes I new u meant half strength nutes, the water level is where it was before, a little low lookin at it but that's what they liked before this. Anyways, he will be home today(thank god) so I'll know more about everything then. I'll post a pic shortly too they look worse today!! Ty again for all your help!

10 amps is a lot, and um, 2930w!!!! wtf, hmmmm, not sure if thats what that means or not.. anywhere else did it say 1000w or 1600w or something, i mean, wild, i have a 3 yr old sharp portable a/c 10,000btu and its 9.0a and 1000w i wanted to find one with less amps..

an easy way to explain it is, volts are like the lanes in highway, amps is the size of the bus and the watts are the people riding them.. that plugs in 110v i guess like everything else in america to a typical wall socket. but if you could plug it in to a 220v socket it would probably use 5amps. if you have option on your ballasts you will notice it will say (for 1000w, 220v 5amp, 110v 9.5amp) your breakers are more than likely 20amp breakers and standard plugs are 15amp plugs.. so you cant plug more than 15amp into a single wall outlet, but on the line of that breaker you can plug up to 20 amp.. then you have a main house breaker, that controls all ohters.. well anyways i'm stoned and don't know where im going with this, but thanks for the info growmomma!! 8)8)8)8)

i can't find a single review on it, is it a new product.. and there was one bigger that cost 550 bucks that uses 3800 watts, but says 1500w cooling power? so i'm not sure, sorry sweetie, but i hope that thing is not pullin that kinda juice.. but its 10 amps so i'd guess its def using at least 1100w

Yea the mini fridge def cools the water. We mainly did it so we could get the ducts that we ran to closet goin back into the house to ensure it stays cool I that makes sense lol

I was thinking the ac may have something to do with it as well but if it wasn't dropping your rh then I don't know how it would affect it. Unless you have cold air blowing right on them maybe.

Do you know what ppm your co2 is at? Whatever you do, don't change a bunch of things at once. Try 1 thing at a time so you know what's working and what's not.

I think for now, you may want to taper down on the co2. W/o knowing your ppm I can't be sure, but whatever is happening, the co2 is going to accelerate it. I once had a problem I just couldn't figure out, tapered back on the co2 and it helped. If you stop using co2 altogether your plants can literally stop growing, its like a tolerance they build.

Sometimes it helps to just slow everything down.

But if growpoppa is comin home, wait for him. Just throwin some tips out there.

How old is your tent? The old hydrohuts (and some others) have a poison leeching problem from the pvc.

Brand new secret jardins. As for the co2 we ran out like 10 days ago!!!! Could this have done this?? They got co2 for not even 3 whole weeks. Idk hell I just wish they'd look better! I guess it was a combo of the pruning, sitting in water, flush, lack of co2?
