I recently had the pleasure of going to a local hydroponic store and purchasing what the guy behind the counter thought would get me the results I am looking for. I walked out with a 4'x4'x7' growlab120, 600w hps blockbuster 6, 6" inline fane, waterfarm 8pack hydro setup, clay pellets, nutrients (can describe if needed), a digital ph meter, plug in manual timer, twenty feet of flexible duct, thermometer, etc.... oh and a big @$$ bill. I am considering purchasing some sort of supplimental co2 system, and getting another inline fan because the one I have now i have cooling the light therefore the only air circulating inside the tent is coming via a pedistal fan i have in the stationary position and very little air is actually circulating through the tent.
As far at adding co2 I am lost as well, everything I read is telling me i should invest the money and do it, but I am low on funds and most word of mouth advise I get is that I dont need to worrry about it and that there should still be enough co2 in the air outside to produce a big yield in a short period of time... who do I believe?
I had a seedling in soil that sprouted out of a houseplant someone must have disguarded into and I transplanted it into a single waterfarm setup and put it in the tent under the light in a veg cycle today but have added very little nutrients. I am doin this as a trial run before my initial seed shipment arrives.
Currently my temp is about 90 degrees my humidity is about 28% and I am having problems figuring out how to properly use this portable ph meter but it reads at 7.8 which seems very high.
I can't tell if the plant is doing well in there yet or not, but based on what I do know the temperature seems too high and the humidity too low. The ph is also way on the high side as well and needs to become much more acidic.
I am struggling with ideas on how to fix these levels before I start my new seedlings and am strapped for cash now as well. All ideas are more than welcome and will be taken into consideration. Please help!
