No no

No no

I'm going to make the presumption your exhaust leaves the building.

Lots of heat leaves a tent through it's walls, especially when the room around it is colder. It's only a tent.

Put a duvet on the roof, and drape it down the sides you don't open. This will cool your tent, by keeping the heat created, in a position you can extract it from. So it can't leave the tent and enter again. Your duct out the room is also of interest, as it can loose a lot of heat in a short run.

You can put 3 600s in with a 6" extractor if you work it right.

Ah my good man...no no....no heat issues....i have all that dialed in perfect....I got a closet that has HVAC stuff for many diff scenarios.....you see the problem...is this POS hydrofarm light...had smoke coming out of socket area (remote ballast) ....very faint...light....NO....not dust....i keep a mycology lab in a nearby closet and have many air cleaners...theres no fucking dust in here....so long story short....fucking cmh is fucked...i live way oit from society...its a long drive to go ro my shop....i trade the ballast in....i come back....its fliclering on off....bulb light up...then just cut off....all kinds other shit...so i guess its reflector.....i like quality shit....im not buyong another fucking phantom reflector....they are GREAT design....but flimsy metal and itnpisses me off.....im not driving back to thw city to get another one...not gonna order one.....no my friend....im going to run over it....tomorrow when its daylight.....i will keep the ballast (they are great ballast) and Im going to the other side.....L. E. D. Tired of bulbs....ballast and shit fucking up.

Damn dude i heard aboit last week...house caught fire over a faulty Quantum ballast (isnt that hydrofarm too?)

Im living in the past....i love a 2700k when it hits that last part before it sets in...and i can rock em any way you can.....but meanwhile on modern society...you all are pulling mega weight and not having to keep all the high wattage ventilation...getting faulty bulbs that you paid too much for...ballast and all that....im just getting bogged down lately seems like with lighting wquipment .....I think its time.....i think the LEDs are legit now...and Im ready to learn a new craft.

Plants about 2 weeks old.... We have
3 original WW. 4 Dos Si Dos #33.... 2 Purple Queens...1 NL #5 x NL #2...(big yielder). Those are all in coco....made my own from bricks....rinsed buffered with sensi cal mag....rinsed and is mixed with perlite chunks and geolite clay pellets (approx 60 percent coco 40 percent pellets and perlite) ....

In the DWC i have one NL#5 and one Lemon Amnesia......not my intended mix but...had some DWC probs and this was the outcome .....

Nutes:
For Coco Im using Dyna Gro Foliage Pro (9-3-6) and RAW silica....I also added Mykos (mycorrhizal innoculant) to root base.... Water ph at 6.0...then every third or 4th feeding Its just a low dose of sensi cal mag and ph around 5.8.

For DWC Dyna-Gro GROW ( 7-9-5)...RAW Silica...Southern Ag garden friendly fungicide...and ph 5.6-5.8.


CONCERN. Will my GH PH Down kill my Southern Ag fungicide (same thing as hydroguard).

Towards blooming will be using Dyna-Gro BLOOM...Purple queen and Dos Si do get a little purpinator and the rest get terpinator....

Plan to top in about another week..and start some LST....then the trellis goes up and 12/12 initiated....

Last couple weeks flowering will switch my 3100k cmh to a 10000k and add in 1 UV mini strip and one Far red strip that will only stay on last 45 minutes of that days light cycle....

Temps are around 84 average and could be better if I move my exhaust fan closer....maybe next week....doing a DIY humidity bowl...trying for 50% im at 38% now....

This really got thrown together due to my busy ass schedule but I had to do something....my seeds were 100% germ rate.....I have some amnesias im gonna leave in a sep mini veg chamber and soon as this batch comes out...they go in....OH! Im always looking for good phenos...and i got lucky...theres one WW that is showing very very strong characteristics and one Dos So dos I dont have to top...its already topped itself! Will take pic....

A couple of mutants..that i will flower now with some cfl or a cob or something.....

Btw...i have a brand new 8 inch inline fan from sun systems (eco line) i would trade for a 6 inch something.... Ok will update later!

I actually start them under a 4200k MH at 75% of 600watt...soon as I get a little length on em I switch the bulb to a 6000k....That way i get em with a little length and bushy...then its just a matter of fatten up them stems .....one of my quarks. I used distilled water and rooter riots...then dyna gro at 1/8th teaspoon per gallon...RAW silica 1/16th tsp per gallon...and a drop of cal mag.

I must say the NLs and WW are by far hungriest little youngsters ever.
