its either 85 or 90degrees when your plant stops growing completely you need that temp down to about 73 thats wot is killing your plant dude.

Anything below 80 and you should be ok. I keep the door to my clone/veg room (closet) open all the time with a fan blowing the AC into it. When you start to flower, you will have a problem if you cant keep the temps down with the door closed. You have to have those 12 hours of TOTAL darkness or you wont get shit from the plant. I have a small window AC in my flower roon and even running a 1000 watt and a 430 watt HPS, I can keep the temps down in the 70's. Good luck, I hope you can get things worked out.

Its ok for light to escape when the lights are on, if it&#8217;s not to somewhere where it&#8217;s going to raise suspicion to your grow. What do you mean the PH dropped to 5? Do you mean the soil? If your soil mix was good to start with, it should be ok. Soil PH meters are incredibly inaccurate, and even the little test kits are not that good from what I understand. I have never PH'd my soil, just watch the PH of the water that your feeding them, especially when you add nutes. Some nutrients can really throw your PH off. Otherwise, if they are looking healthy, let them be and watch your temperatures.
