You have the exhaust at the top sucking the air out of the tent right? You referenced it as a blower so I want to make sure you are not blowing into the tent.
I would try and find a way to tie the extra cords up out from below the light, you don't want all the heat from the led lights so close to the wires.
When you tie them up, make sure you have enough slack or a way to untie them easily for when you have to raise and lower your lights.
Um, no. Just sucking in. This blower/fan.... sucks air in or out, not both that I can see. I have it so it filters air in to help control the heat. I have all the other holes closed off to control the smell. I live in an apartment. I have the tent close to a window, I can get another vent hose and run one from the top out the window. I would need an adapter though. Is this necessary? If so I can look into that as well. Or I can get another filter and have it on the outflow as well as the inflow of air. The blower will not blow the air out though... it blows directly into the inside filter.
When you say”fish soil” what is that? There are many good commercial bag soils. I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest, which is a good soil, it’s manufactured close to me and I get it cheap (relatively)
Ocean forest.... Ocean-Fish.... that is what I meant
Someone posted that this soil is a no-brainier when it comes to PH. Basically plant and water.
If your on a Budget i would say go for Organic Fertilizers so you dont need add. Equipment to meassure ppm and can spend more time on basic stuff then to dial in dosing and mess with the run offs and flushing.
If you have access to good tap water, (might be able to check that on a goverment homepage) you can get by without an Ph meter if not atleast get some of those quick test paper straps to make sure it doesnt screw you over.
Pot wise fabric pots seem to be the cheapest option atleast where im living. Before that either/and Seed starting Domes & Red/Party cups.
For your Medium & Fertilizer brand dont overcomplicate it. There is much marketing happen but think how long people have grown Weed wihtout any "High Tech" / Super advaced amendments. I would keep that rabbit hole open for later and just get some regular lightly pre-amended Soil and some Basic Fertilizer for Veggie and Bloom plus some Calmag from something inexpensive.
Im sure people will suggest some Brands available in the States that are not to expensive.
Once you have your Setup going, and purchased everything you need you can check what would make sense to add.
But before purchasing add. ammendments get the enviroment dialed in and rather spend the money on say a decent dehumidfier than some fancy nutrients.
The tap water here I will not drink LOL. I have been reading the differences between tap and distilled waters. I think I should be ok with our tap water if I let it sit for 24 hours or so. I can pick up some PH strips, that is no biggie. I don't think... I have not priced them yet.
I still have some time before my seeds get here. Shipped yesterday, 3-15 business days. Yesterday was payday and budgeted out for soil, nutrients and some small pots. Next pay I can get a dehumidifier. The weather is still fairly mellow here. I'm a wimp with humidity... we have an AC in every room hahaha. My worry is keeping the apt warm enough for the plants. Hope the LED lights help keep it hot in there.

No, just in. Air in and through the inside filter. Air in will help regulate the heat and humidity. I can put another hose on top if needed however there will not be any real force behind the outflow. There is nothing on the filter for exhaust except through the charcoal. I live in an apartment so I need to keep the smell down. Is it better to blow air out instead? I would have to reverse the blower and filter outside the tent. I have seen that setup.... but again, I would think it better to control heat blowing it. I'm new
The wires have been moved since the photo and the blower straighten. I was wondering how hot the LEDs get. I will have to do better than just lying them on top.
Posts like these are exactly why i made my tutorial. To show not just what to do, but why, so you can use your own judgement to problem solve your particular issues. :) The first 2 modules are here on YouTube:
Thank you! Will give it a watch!
I think we may try to Bonsai one of these, that video looked fun. Not so much as a plant to smoke but a piece of living art.
Thanks again everyone. Time to get ready for work. UG, weekends suck
). Why im asking is i have a couple plants that are starting to show some signs of something lol and if I know the Ph maybe I could rule out couple things out the gate. Or is this just my lack of experience in what the plant is telling me?
