I had my nutes at an EC of 4.4 for a week. They were doing really good. Now the leaves are really curling. Can i save them? I got it down to 1.1. Ppm is around 570. Can i save these?
It didnt help the heat issue. But my plants look better today. Maybe i had them with too much humidity.I decided to mount the driver for my lights outside the tent. I think that will help.
You need to pass the water in the res through a chiller if its going to be inside the hot tent. You can set the inflow and outflow tubes of the chiller directly in the res and it will pass it through and cool it but chillers are expensive. An OK one you can get for like 3-500ish.It didnt help the heat issue. But my plants look better today. Maybe i had them with too much humidity.
Judging by your setup in the pic that wont be an option due to the size and type of setup/available space. The flood and drain setup in your 7ft tent makes up for about 30-35 pct of the total available space in the tent. So your desired growing strategy is just too big for the tent, in my opinion.How would i put my res outside the tent and pump the water in it? I really don't want to buy a chiller. My tent is like around 7 foot tall. My bed is really tall. I have my seedlings under there. And i have my light on a sun up sun down controller.

I was going to train them and keep them low and get more growth out of them. Will that work? I have thought about what you are saying though. So i could put the res outside the tent. Lower my flood table and that would help. Do i have to pump the water in and out then?Judging by your setup in the pic that wont be an option due to the size and type of setup/available space.

Yea I dont know the guts of your setup and whats underneath and if its practical to do but removing the res and getting it out of the tent would increase your airspace by a significant percentage and cut the sitting height of your plants in half. Thereby getting them further away from the light and giving you more air to rotate.I was going to train them and keep them low and get more growth out of them. Will that work?

Yeah. Right now they are already 36 inches above the canopy. In flower though can't they grow really close to the lights?Yea I dont know the guts of your setup and whats underneath and if its practical to do but removing the res and getting it out of the tent would increase your airspace by a significant percentage and cut the sitting height of your plants in half.

Also, depending on how much you want to train, not sure what the footprint of your tent is but training and doing a horizontal wide canopy in a limited space is going to be challenging with 6 plants inside like a 4x4 or 5x5. Most of the seedbanks I have been looking at rate potential yield by m2 or meters squared which is roughly 3x3ft for a single plant. So assuming its all maximized and stretched out thats the amount of space I was shooting for this is of course shooting to try and hit the projected yield from the breeder. So that means by the breeders projected yields if you have 6 plants you wont be able to train to maximize the space to net the target yield per plant/seed. Each of my sites is actually 2.5x2.5ft-ish. So for a RDWC setup someone can correct me but I think 4 plants is optimal maximum amount with training for a 5x5. I figure the same would apply for a flood and drain setup because its less about amount of plants and more about available square footage.I was going to train them and keep them low and get more growth out of them.

800 hun for a chiller as I have one on my air intake coolers 350 for a water cooler that u put on intake air flow is good to useYou need to pass the water in the res through a chiller if its going to be inside the hot tent.

Personally I would just move the res outside the tent. Tent looks crowded with its size/the light, etc. Cant tell how tall that is.

I have fans to pump air up top of canopyYeah. Right now they are already 36 inches above the canopy. In flower though can't they grow really close to the lights?
