Opinions please!
No, I add 200 ppms of cal mag to my RO water and then add flora nova bloom. I run a low ppm every feed with plenty of runoff. I'm talking 15 gallons in and 5-8 gallons drained. Plenty flushed through. I always check my runoff too and it is never high enough to burn my plants. My problem started not long after I put the tent in the same room. I would really like to know how my plants burned with such a low ppm this entire time. That is why I suspect the tent now. The timing is right. I know that people say that the tents or ok now but I'm not so sure. I have read a lot of people having differing opinions on these fixed silver lined tents. And then I have to ask what if these tents still off gas a little. That's not a problem for someone who ventilates their grow room but it's still a big problem for a sealed room. I want experience with people in sealed rooms with these tents specifically. Of course, all other thoughts and experience is welcome too but rooms being run these two differing ways are going to have some varying degrees of severity in problems simply due to the amount of gasses collecting in the room.
I moved this out into the infirmary.
I'm currently doing a test run on a Homebox with a cutting from a mother that originaly came from a plant that suffered living in a toxic tent. No problems have been seen the plants are healthy even in the tent sealed shut for a day at temps above 100 degree F.
Will be starting on the pics this week, but I also have some Casey's that were finished in the tent and pics of them are available in my albums.
I'm with Mr Bongjangles on richyrichs situation. You would be well advised to start a thread in the infirmary as suggested.
Hi Kindman
It really depends on the state they have gotten into. Ive managed to drag a couple of grows through it but by a couple of weeks into flowering there isn't a fan leaf left.
If your getting them out of the area or are clearing the off gassing and have only seen initial damage I would reckon it should be possbile to bring them back. If there pretty badly gone like more than 50% of the foliage gone you might be able to but the time & nutes etc might be better used starting off new ones.
I'm still really a noob on growing at the end of the second year so for actually deficienciess etc... you'll get better advice from the infirmary regulars.
Hope this helps

Good to read there picking up for you. Hope the plans you have sort it out and you can get back to just the regular issues caring for the plants.
im a little concerned i bought a used sun hut xl its the big version its white inside put the poles are whtie metal...are all of these bad?
I read in this thread Black and white poly (panda film) offgasses. Yet there is very little talk about it. Many many people including myself use this assuming its a safe product.
Do we know for sure this stuff offgasses? Should I stop using it/take it out my room? Is there a better alternative?
If it has a white plastic floor, either return it or chuck the floor part.
They have hopefully stopped using the white plastic floor by now but I don't know for sure.
If it has a silver material floor, you're good to grow man.
Panda does off-gas.
I can't believe that these huts are still an issue. I bought a Jardin last year and never looked back.
