Seeking Help

[FuseHydro]

Hello everyone I am new and seeking some advice. I am growing peppers (super hots) as a start to learning hydroponics. I have a few pics of the setup I have. And here is a list of the items I already got.

4x8 grow tent
2 6" inline fans...one sucks in and one blows out. Using the house temps to control the temp in the grow room. Fans set on a temp controller to turn on when the temp gets above 78°.
16" circulating fan wall mounted/ runs 24/7
10,000 lumen tek lamp for cloning/seed starting...18/6
32 spot EZ CLONE system...runs 24/7
30,000 lumen 2'x4' 6 bulb florescent light 18/6
DYI DWC bubbler system that recirculates the water and bubble stones in each bucket. Will run 24/7
1 1/2 gallon humidifier with built in controller...set to 55% humidity.
All lights are on timers

Room set for 78°
Humidity set for 55%
Circulating fan on 24/7
Inline fans set to keep temps at 78°

Ok now thats what I have so far.

My EZ CLONE I used distilled water, added my Clonex solution per bottle instructions, adjusted PH to 6.5, and the water temp stays around 78-80°.
Ends up with 470 ppm
Any ideas on something I need to do or change or add with my seed starting setup/clone setup? Pics show what I have so far. Roots look good and so do the plants.

I have more questions but lets start there. Thanks for any and all help.

Welcome,fusehydryo

nice clean setup,I give you a 12/10 for the clean look,and build,excellent work with the plumbing

I also do winter veggies in the basement,although cannabis and peppers required different lighting/humidiy/ph,Im glad you are starting here,perfect way to check the system,get to learn plant structure.

I just started some Carolina reapers,ugly as sin,but hotter than HELL.

Oh seems a bit high, 6.5 is the upper limit for by a hydro with 5.8 a recommended target. Also water temperatures at 78 to 80 just too high, it can't hold nearly as much dissolved O2 as cooler water and you will be a high risk for root rot with those temperatures. Good luck.

Hummm...I must be researching the wrong info. Heres a few pics for examples. Reason being is almost every site agrees with these charts for peppers. And the plants seem to love it. I actually had it at 6.0 at first but they seem to grow faster at 6.5. I would definitely like to hear more about water temp as I dont find much on that aspect. Any links for hydro temps?

I agree it would be suicide running dwc at 80

But its fine in the cloner,and I wouldn't even bother with adjusting the ph of that water.

Yeah these are just questions involving my cloner/seed starter as posted above...dwc talk for another time lol. New guy has to take it slow. But heres a few pic/screenshots of what im finding about temps for a cloner system like mine. Ones directly from EZ CLONE INC...the maker of the system and ones from 420mag. They all agree with the temp ive posted.
