welcome to the farm!!I've never been one to post anything, but here goes.
This is my very first grow and after months of research, I settled on this rdwc system.
I've tried growing other veggies in the past, but I guess soil and I never got along.
So hydro seemed like a better fit for me and my environment.
This is Pineapples In Space on the left
And Orange Velvet on the right.
I started both from clones that I received from a reputable source.
They are in a Gorilla 3x3 with a Mars Hydro tsw2000 300watt light.
The plant tote and rez are both 17 gallons.
I've got a 4" inline fan (Amazon) with carbon filter venting into my attic.
A 400gph water pump circulates the water very nicely.
A 2.9 psi (793 gph) air pump with 2 air stones for the plant tote.
I'm using GH Floranova grow and bloom for main nutes.
Hydroguard for my roots, and I have cal-mag on standby.
My main concern, at this very moment, is the humidity in my tent.
The temp is hovering around 75F with the humidity at 40%.
Is my humidity low enough to warrant adding a humidifier to the tent, or in the room at least?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the info!The low humidity should not hurt. The plant will turn to drinking more from the reservoir. The thing you need to be aware of though is that because she is turning to drinking from the low humidity and more available air to hold moisture is that the reservoir may increase in PPM. If the PPM runs high too long, the plant can nute lockout. Overall though, keep the res water proper and monitor for PPM rising. Of course, when PPM rises, do a res swap. Simply adding Ph water to lower PPM is not recommended to counter the PPM rise.
You are welcome.Thanks for the info!
I forgot to add that in the original post, but I am using RO water.
My ppm is staying in the mid 550s.
I'm currently at 1ml/gal of Floranova grow and 1ml/gal of hydroguard.
Will be going up to 2ml/gal of Grow next water change
Its at 18" above the canopy.Real nice setup. Don't burn your plants. I'd suggest that you back the light off at least another foot.
No, this is the tent they will stay in.Hi all the best for your first grow.
Is that a tent for veg, and then you take them to a flowering tent?
I wouldn't grow 2 plants in the one tote for too long, each plant should really have it's own tote.
Last year i had 4 in a single tote in the veg tent..but had an accident and i could hardly move for over 2 weeks, one of those plants dominated the other 3, they got too big.
Anyway all the best again!
No worries, just know sometimes 1 plant will dominate the other.No, this is the tent they will stay in.
Lol, I appreciate that manDang!! You’re like a scientist with that dope set up!! Looks awesome
