Thanks H6, the plants in the tote are bag seed, they look indica dominant to me, the soil plant on the right is NYCD, the one on the left is sour D and the one in the back is a bag seed male that I`m gonna pollinate a few flowers on that big plant (hydro) with, I just moved it to a separate flower closet : )

How are you're room and res temps holding up? PH? Just curious, they must be good from the looks of things. You are doing an awsome job. Keep it up. +reps bro

EDIT: just read your post on the BH home, 78° is high for the res, usually over 72° is when root rot can start. You must be blessed my man!

 

[Myzz617]

Looking great D.F how far along are these ladies?

 

[diesel farmer]

Thanks Green007, the Ph stays between 5.8 and 6.0, I know temps are high but there isnt much I can do, thanks again and peace!

 

[diesel farmer]

Thanks Myzz!, they are 3 1/2 weeks in 12/12,

You can put your tank on two boards, like two 2 x 4s , leaving an air piocket under the tank, and it will get cooler, especially with a fan blowing on it.

 

[diesel farmer]

its been on a milk crate Rose, lots of holes in it, do you still think I need the boards? Why are the frozen water bottles a bad idea, too cold on the roots?

 

[diesel farmer]

Ok Rose I have an idea, since I`m not using my pump at the moment, was thinking of putting it in a 5 gallon bucket with a frozen bottle and water in the bucket, run 1/4 inch tubing from 5 gal bucket into tank, coil about 3 or 4 feet in the res, then back to bucket, what do ya think?

Looking great my friend! What is your reservoir temp? How do the roots look? I had tank temps in the high 70's for a while this last grow and had no root problems. I like your cooler idea, but not sure if the 1/4 hose coiled up, would lower temps enough to be effective. Worth a shot though! You might be able to rig up some 1/2 inch tubing and forget the manifold.

 

[diesel farmer]

Thanks brother! Temps get up to 78 but roots look good and smell good, I put a 20 inch fan right on the res. I`ll let ya know what happens with the cooling exchanger, peace!
