Here I am again with another attempt at a journal. After lots of trial-and-error, research, lurking here and on other sites and a few failed crops, I believe I finally have the system that works best for me.
First, what I'm working with:
4x4x7 tent
2 Missyee 900w full spectrum LED's
VIVOSUN 950 gph air pump
4 ea 4X2 air stones
Flexzion 800 gph H2O inline pump Poafamx 60L H2O chiller
240 cfm exhaust fan
240 cfm vent fan for DIY air cooler
4 ea 5 gal buckets w/ lids, 1 rez 3 grow
1" flex hose
1/2" tubing
Hose connectors & grommets
16" fan for circulation
Advanced Nutrients line
So far, so good. Start of week 3 and I just added my SCROG (separated an old baby gate for it). Have topped 3 times for extra growth. May top them one more time if I can. As far as nutes go, I'm using Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect line, supplements and HydroGro. Chiller is set for 68° - 70° F but H2O can run as high as 74° on really hot days. Tent temp runs about 84° avg. So, I'm going to switch to an ice chest for the rez to help keep H2O temp constant and a top off rez. Even with the air cooler it can be difficult to regulate the temp. I don't really want to get a ac unit, electricity costs to much down here in COVID country.
So that's it for now. I'll update as often as possible.
Questions and comments are always welcome.
