Looks very similar to how I set up my extraction fan, I also had to add additional ducting to move the air from the tent out of my grow room to combat the heat generated from the HPS light.

Saw some place on this site where a battery operated bilge pump was used to drain the tub in a situation like yours.

You might get a larger yield using a 600w light over the 1000w in your situation. The higher temperatures from the 1000w light could result in fluffy buds that after drying weigh less that denser buds from a 600w light. Switching the lights between 600w and 1000w, go for it that could be the...

I would encourage you if possible to step up to a 400w light. There is a fair amount of time and effort you will be expending in your grow and a 250w light will really limit how much your plants will produce. I started out with a 250w light and changing to a 600w bulb has made a huge difference...

Need advice Urgently, leaves curling here is a link to a thread of a grower having problems using Miracle Grow

You might want to consider a search of the forums, I recall reading growers have had issues using Miracle Grow as a fertilizer, to hot and burns your plants.

I change water every week and you will have a problem unless you can figure a way to drain the system once your lady is flower. You need to figure out some kind of drain option for your circumstances, getting some height by placing your tub on something with a drain hole at the bottom would...

Yes it should be, I had the same issue with my last grow and this helped a lot. But you will also need to try and dump the warm air outside of the room your grow tent is in for best results. Otherwise you will slowly be increasing the temps in that room and now your back at the start, it just...

16 inches before stretch, you could run out of height in a 6 foot tent. Light hanging down, need space between plant tops and light, it will be close.

A week will not be too long, I did ten days my last grow.

With four weeks or so to go, I think you'll be pleased with what your effort produces.

Instead of running the ducting for the light through the carbon filter and using the hot air from the tent to cool the light, draw cooler air from outside of the tent. With the air never being inside the tent no need for the carbon filteron the ducting for the light. You will have to get another...

Oh seems a bit high, 6.5 is the upper limit for by a hydro with 5.8 a recommended target. Also water temperatures at 78 to 80 just too high, it can't hold nearly as much dissolved O2 as cooler water and you will be a high risk for root rot with those temperatures. Good luck.

Yes, that's the set up I'm running. Heat from the light can be a real issue in a tent that small. Also look at the Fluxing central thread, growing horizontal makes all the difference in being successful. Looking for 12 to 16 oz out of my current grow with one plant in a 5 gallon bucket.

Close but I don't think quite yet, I've never grown an auto before so limited knowledge. Crispy yes,but not fatal, you have nute lockout it looks like. Nice pics of your girl, but wait for more to turn cloudy and hopefully a bit more bud swelling.
