POST NEW PICS! I'm guilty of smoking popcorn buds kinda early cause I got curious lol

Hello! I don't post here regularly but I always cruise the new posts/solutions in the FAQ section... Anyway, here's my solution to my struggles with over-watering. This is my second grow with a new batch of clones, in a different soil mix, in different containers from what I had in my first...

I don't think the volume of air is great enough to cause an issue...

You would need at least four direct lines from the breaker box to the grow area with nothing but grow equipment attached to them... the toaster upstairs would risk blowing a breaker if it were on the same circuit as two of those 600 watt lights. Hope this puts things into perspective for you.

I can help you with the math! I'm not sure if the power company will notice the extra power consumption, though... I think it might depend greatly on the power company itself. Anyways, lets say you ran the lights for 24 hours a day, you would consume 96 kw (kilowatts) per day, which is roughly...

I think heat will be your enemy here. Think about if you exhaust all the 60 deg air the A/C makes in 5 to 10 minutes, its going to have to constantly run to make more... maybe cool the lights as best you can with intake and exhaust ducting, then exhaust the air from the tents at a slower rate as...

The only way I feel I could help is to say that your plant that you guess is in week 3, looks similar to mine which I know is at week 3. There's also a grain of salt here!

I found mine on amazon! Its extremely cheap and its kind of bitchy, if you get my drift. They take time to stabilize out. Make sure you get calibration fluid!

Does it work on a constantly linear scale?

To double the ppm you do not have to half the volume of water...

Do it!

You are boiling away water and leaving contaminants which raises the concentration; aka raises the ppm.... I'm fairly sure the only thing boiling the water does is kill bacteria, or maybe boil off chlorine or fluorine....

I notice that the edges of the leaves on the right plant in your first picture are curled up a little bit! EDIT: sorry i didnt see the original post was old!

Major Pita makes a good point, check and make sure your PH is correct. If i recall correctly, soil that is too acidic will now allow magnesium to be absorbed.
