Re: Warshade's Northern Lights ScrOG - (Advanced LED, BPN, hydro)
6/3/2012 - Update
The reservoir chiller has been partially on hold for a few days, as I am going to have someone else bend the 4 elbows (I already have the SS tubing coiled, just need the elbows), as I am afraid that I will kink it. I have been able to keep res temps around 74-75 by switching out frozen jugs several times a day, and I have also added some tubing for the air pump intake, as it was taking in the hot tent air (88˚f) and pumping that into the root-zone, but now it's getting the central air temp 75˚f. Also, I added some passive ducting to the tent that will siphon some of the AC air and bring those 88˚f temps down to 83˚f, (so far).
The pH has been slowly making its way up to about 6.7pH over the last several days, so I am going to use some pH down for a couple days to get it below 6.0pH and then do a reservoir change after that with some of the beneficial tea (mentioned earlier) added to the BPN (Micro/Grow/Bloom), Cali-Magic & Hygrozyme.
Today:
pH: 6.7
RH: 40%
temp: 83˚f
res temp: 74˚f
solution: ~200ppm

Here are the pics taken from last night:
^ Here you can clearly see the 1st & 2nd set of true leaves did NOT like the pH battle early on in this grow!
