Hey all, I'm new here to this site as posting a thread goes, but I've been reading what all you have had to say. I am very open to anyone's opinion or advice. I have a closet set up, first I want to say it's not sealed, my dryer is in there, along with some other clothes. It's in the middle space of it all and it has a 600w MH bulb about 1.5, 2 ft above 7 seedlings, all in solo cups except one The Doctor from Green House Seeds which is in a 5 gallon single DWC. After 3 weeks of veg about, the root finally showed at the bottom of the net pot this morning, dangling in the water. Now from before seeing that my water had been a little cloudy, did a super light feed at about 100-150 ppm including Ph Down which I've been adding almost daily.
My room temp is around 72-80f throughout the day, at nighht 60-65f
Water temp I've been targeting 69f and below, it has gone up to 20.9 or 21.0 Celsius on the Hannah PPM, EC and PH combo pen I have which I believe is 71-72f?
600W MH
5 Bag seed, 1 Sour D seed, 1 The Doctor which is Fem in DWC.
Ph I've been shooting for 5.5-5.9 but it seems within hours throughout the day it rises up to 7 something. I continually add Ph down, getting home from work everyday I just know it's up so I just put an amount where my eye knows its enough.
My concern is why is this happening. My ppm stayed about the same 145-150ppm and the Ph would always rise from 5.5-5.9 to above 6.5 everyday. I don't think I have light leaks, the bucket is a homedepot bucket, orange, do I need a black one?
I'm trying to resolve this issue now before my roots become rotted and slimy like i've been reading other people's problems to be.
Thanks for all your help.
