thanks for the feed back guys!
I did notice the barrel swetting a lot, and spray foamed the shit out of it, and I'll box it in with 1/2 insulation board later this weekend. The rez was starting to smell pretty rotten by the 4-5th day and I am draining and refilling every 7 days, so if the bactiria is an issue, is there any good fix or early preimptive program I can look into?
Fuesedstoner, thanks for the heads up, this is exactly what I did, and its making a huge difference. My water starts out at 59 degeree's and was going up threwout the week, now (and realy just today) I'm seeing the temps stay low but not as low (6
as it looks like I should have (62). thanks for the idea about frozen bottles in the rez
and I got that PH thing handled too, lower th PH tha I thought after initial food and the additaves crank it up to 6.0, they looked 100X's better within a day and a half.
Hellraizer, I have been great luck with the 15min on every 2.5 hours but since i switched to flower (with one 15 min. flood at mid point in the night) for flower and they don't look as happy, so I will try switching the flood times and not having any nighttime watering.
on the side note, with two weeks of veg. these thing blew up! I'm thinking of upping the PH slowly over the next few rez changes closer to 11-1200 any thoughts?
thanks again for the help guys!
