Just for the record I want to recommend Hot Shot No Pest Strips...
These things entirely killed all the bugs in the room, however, I put them into my bathroom because my cat's litter box got infested too and It did not kill them...
My conclusion, I had the bathroom fan running the whole time and thats what messed it up. It needs stagnant air to work, It will kill bugs that come close if there is a lot of airflow but it won't work properly.
Luckily I have my room sealed right now, although I have to make some changes...
Can you guys believe I'm in an apartment complex not running a carbon scrubber at almost 30 days into flowering? Sour Diesel crosses too at that... I can't smell shit though so i guess it don't matter, but seriously my last grow stunk up the apartment in veg I can't figure it out...

Took these pics a week or 2 ago and forgot to post it, its my ventilation setup, it works ok I guess....
The real highlight here and the only thing that will be of use to anyone is how I vented my A/C.... A rubbermaid over top of the back, can't get simpler than that, and It works just fine

Just a Tip or two on the a/c, in my quest to provide knowledge...
My room has average humidity and the air going over the back of the a/c also has average humidity, and I'm unsure if this matters or not, but keep it in mind.
My first point of the day is, 5200 btu is awsome if you live in a 5 x 2 box and its winter time outside, but if you are Marijuana plants under 1200 watts of un aircooled light, its not that awesome.
And Now for my second point;
If you tilt the a/c the proper way so that the back side is lower than the front side, in my setup there is no need for a water catch or anything, because as far as I can tell there isn't even a drip of water coming out the back, HOWEVER, If you install it improperly and have it tilted the other way so that the moisture can drain into the room, it will, trust me on this, came home to a huge puddle, and was like ???? then seen the A/C practically pouring water onto the floor. So whats the moral of the story kids? Do shit right so it don't get you in ways you wouldn't have even thought of until they happen.

I think you are going to need to upgrade to a 12000 BTU. They are pretty cheap now and I am sure this will do the trick. If you can afford it goes as large as you can, that way you can use more lights at a later date if you want, and also the air conditioner won't have to work as hard. Good luck and it seems things are going along smoothly with the exception of the temps. Keep us posted.

I definately am going to have to air cool the lights, and/or get a bigger a/c, but It really depends on how much I pull this run if I am going to be able to.
On a more positive note, I found a plant that smells absolutely delicious, like berries. When you touch the bud then smell your hand it smells like you dipped it in some jam or something. I have never smelled anything so sweet in my life, and if I hadn't grown it I would have thought it was tampered with some chemical to make it smell so awsome.
Definately going to reveg that one, then get rid of the damn carbon scrubber and pump that shit throughout the apartment building so everyone can smell it lol

No no ph, although I wish I would have gone a little heavier on nutes and phed the water, but it still works decently without.
