Hi Farmers!
I'm re-posting as I did before in a wrong sub-forum.
This is my first time growing and I'd like to share this experience with you guys!
I'm stoked to see everything running after few months of hard work and a lot of stress while building the room.

Well, what I got in here is:
Flower Room,
1000W Hortilux Super HPS
6" Blockbuster
Galaxy 1000W HPS/MH 120/240V Multi-Watt & Dimmable
2 - 6" Active Air Fan 400 CFM
EcoPlus Carbonaire Filter 550 CFM
1/10 EcoPlus Water Chiller
2- EcoPlus 16" Wall Mount Fan

Strains:
4 Chemdog
2 Super Lemon Haze
2 Sour Diesel

I'm using 1/4 of Nutrients strength
Dutch Master.
Grow A + B 180ml
ADD .27 115ml
Silica 20ml
Drip Clean5ml
Great White 2 Scoops
Roots Excel 45ml

PH 5.6
PPM 520/EC.77
Water Temp 68.

Temperature in the room is around 75-77f during in the morning but increases to 80ish when the chiller turns on, the humidity drops to 35%, and at night temp stays at 75f and 45% humidity.
I have one fan bringing fresh air to the room 24/7 which has been keeping the room much cooler during the days.
Few plants got root rot like 10 days ago and I had to be treating them with H202, which didn't help much, but 4 days ago I started using Roots Excel + Great White and the roots has been growing CRAZY! Highly recommended!!!
I transplanted them yesterday night, the photos you see of the long roots ones were taken before transplant, while they were in the 3" netpot. This morning I went there to check and as you can see the roots are already poking out of the netpot!
The net is 12" away from the buckets and 20" from the hood, didn't feel my skin burning under the light but I'm checking every hour for burns or any stress signs.
The humidity is below 50%, I was not expecting that at tall as in my vegetating box is always over 55%.
If you guys could please recommend something nice I'd appreciate

The box I'm keeping the plants vegetating is a 3x3x5 with 2 15 Gallon DWC holding 15 plants each, and they're under 1 2ft 6 bulbs, another 2ft 4 bulbs and 2 6" Air King fan, but I will install another one of 20" on the top of the box as I have seen condensation early morning.


PH 6.0
PPM 520/EC.77
Water Temp 70
Strains:
Warlock
Super Lemon Haze
Chronic
Purple Kush
Granddaddy Purple
Morning Glory
White Widow
White Rhino
Sour Diesel
Super Haze


I have been reading almost every single thread in the past 6 months, about electricity, safety, systems, Nutrients and etc. It took me 4 months to get here, everything started from seed, and it was meant to be simple, fast, and easy, but it wasn't at all!
Thanks to all you guys posting your ideas and pictures of your setups. Without you guys
, some good divine
thoughts, my wife's
patience and some really good
, I would not have achieved this.

Late Update. Day 2, Saturday 19.
Plants looks great!
Roots has grew over 2" in a day and looks so white. I'm really happy to see everything running fine and I'm hoping keep it until the end, as I almost gave up to grow before transplant them to the UC when they got root rot. I had to flush and clean everything almost every 3 days, and now it really seems like it's definitely gone
I'm keeping the hood 20" inch far away from the plants, do you guys think it could be closer?
I'm posting 2 pics of the same plant to show how fast the roots has grew. The one with short roots were taken yesterday, the long one today.
I'm going to buy a humidifier today and also planning to raise the PPM to 600 tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Farmers!
Back to Earth after a long weekend off with wife

How’s everything? Are your plants doing well?
A short update on day 6.
Plants are looking great and health! Having a little issue with humidity and help is much appreciated.
I have been trying to keep the humidity at least to 50% but it is just not working. Bought a decent humidifier powerful enough up to 1600sq, and I don’t have half of that space. The problem is only when the light is one and the exhausted fan joins the game, it seems like the fan is pulling all the humidity too fast and it drops the level down to 25%.
Should I get a more powerful one? Which one do you guys use?
I did few things trying to figure out fixing the issue, for example reducing the exhausted fan speed, but then the temperature rises up to 94f, with 67% Humidity, but I could and I can decrease the Humidity level, the question is how bad it would affect the plants. I know it is high and it should be burning as hell, but inside doesn’t feel 94f at all! The highest was 94f with exhausted fan off and lowest lowest to 66f, but right now is at 79f with 40% Humidity.
I was thinking about getting an A\C so I wouldn’t need to use the exhausted as much reducing the speed and being able to keep the humidity inside. The other option would be to start flowering and keep the light running at night, as has been cold anyways. Switching the light to 600W also decrease the temperature to 78f and increases the humidity level up to 60%.
I found a very interesting article about the right temperature and humidity levels, also very contradictory. Higher humidity or lower? Check out the article: HighGrow 4.20 FREEWARE Version - Legal Marijuana Growing
PPM was raised to 800 and Girls got a little hair cut  I was also able to get 45 cuts from all girls and more is on the way, now I just need to get rid of some.
Roots has explode in less than a week! I’m loving the great white and roots excelurator, if you ever experience to get root rot, which I hope you never get it, try using both of these miracles products.
I made a another net as some farmers commented about having problems using very small holes, and also decided to make few inch wider, as before I had only 3 inch over the buckets.
I will switch the light to 12/12 on Saturday as they’re getting bigger and already taller than the net.
I noticed couple leaves with a yellowish, brownish burns but I’m sure isn’t nutrients or light, as this is show in only one plant and just in 2 leaves, not sure if this was there before transplant them.
That’s all guys.
Hope you’re all having a blast week and God bless us!
Peace!!!

Hello Farmers!
Have any of guys ever used Big Bud, Overdrive or CalMag?
I need to make a choice between them to start to flower this week.
Thanks

What’s up Farmers!
An update on 11th last vegetating day!
As you guys can see the girls are growing like there’s not tomorrow. On Thursday 24 I decided to pump up the PPM from 800 to 900, as I had in mind to flush today changing the nutrients to flower.
So, the DM nutrients calculator recommendation as “STANDARD - Good For Beginners” were:

DM A+B =378ml
ADD .27 =454ml
Silica =75ml

My water PH was at 7.8 and PPM at 90. After add everything the PH dropped to 6.3.
I usually add the nutrients with a minimum interval of 5 min letting everything settle, this gives me also an idea of how much the ppm is being raised by each product.
This is what, how much I used and how the ppm was being raised.



2 Scoops of Great White

Silica 75ml PPM 110
ADD.27 250ml PPM 180
Micro 80ml PPM 320
Roots Excel 45ml PPM350
DM A+B 400ml PPM 910

I don’t think I will be able to take any more pics of the roots as they’re huge; also they’re filling the net super fast and I don’t want to piss them off moving the net around.
The Girls in the vegetating room are also out of control!!! I don’t have more ceiling for them and tomorrow I will start cutting off like


That’s all for today guys!
Thanks for your help and Good Vibes.
Peace .’.
