Im running a flood and drain with the bucket sysytem. Using supernatural all in one bloom and bud blaster. I use about half of the recommended usage. I have 3x1000w hps about 18" above the canopy now. My ppm are about 500. ph is aroun 5.9 to 6.1 During the light part of the 12/12 its abotu 72-75 degrees in there. During the dark part of 12/12 it getsup to 80degrees with 70percent humidity. I am usinf hydroton, I flood every 4 hrs. and also flood during the dark to keep the water moving. Have to 12" airstones is my res. I have co2 but havent started it yet,not sure how to use the regulator and all that. I have 3 fans circulating all the ime and a ceiling fan also. The reason it gets hot in there during the dark period is because I have to cover my ac because its in the window and light comes through (any suggestions there)? And thatsit

Don't flood during the dark cycle and try to keep the medium covered. The moisture from the flood is evaporating into the air with no light to burn it up, causing your RH to spike.

i have them covered with coco caps or whatever that is, and I thought I was suppose to keep the water circulating,but that makes sense that its causing higher humidity in there

A 1000 1foot away is to close. 18-24 inches is where that needs to be. Your room might be 80 but your canopy is around 90. Humidity is low with lights on but to high when out. In flower humidity should be around 40-55% at all times.

You might be a little light on the nutes. You should be higher imho. Might try bumping up the base and I always feel better with some sort of Ca Mg supplementation. I bet they are just hungry for more food.

Also, the light makes them look like they are yellowing. If they are just all green with the turned up tips that's pretty much normal and it aids the airflow under the leaf for co2 exchange. Too much of course is bad. You're sort of on the edge. All we can do is point out things that are a little different then normal and hope that it helps.
