Had the clones in very small cups (not normal disposable size) for a while so root development was hindered in the beginning. From transplant they grew another three weeks in at 12/12 light. The second video is recent.. Its pretty hot in the garage so I fear they might not do as well as they could have.

Let me know your thoughts.. Thanks! :banana1sv6:

Any tips?

turn the radio off when you record :) that station is for kids!

do the tips look crispy/curly to you? i'm just wondering if the lights are close. you mentioned dimming the bulbs. what do you have them at? what wattage bulbs are they?

what are they being fed, and what strength?

Heh, the radio is just there to throw sound in with the inline fans since they are kinda loud.. When I am actually working in there I put it on classic rock usually ;)

Yes the very tipsiest of some colas look light bleached and slightly disfigured from heat but when I touch they do not crumble like a dead leaf. I suspect its from the high heat in there as it has hit 100f a few times with c02 running thankfully.

I feed with a combination of whatever I have which is pretty vague obviously when I put it like that.

As of right now I am feeding cns17 bloom, sweet, cal/mag at about 1500 with a 6.0ph and give fresh tap water every few feeds.

Problem with this setup is ambient heat around this time of year, which is my biggest concern.

Wattage goes no higher than 600 on each side and the cooltube usually gets turned down to 360 watts until heats go down, then send it up to 400 or 600 if its nice and cool.

[water wise guy]

have you ever thought about using water cooled light it would help alot with the heat issues.

Ahh did you see my Avatar? Yeah been there and done that and for me it does not justify the energy being utilized.

The whole garage turns into a bakery and the tent not being totally sealed, absorbs the heat. Lights come on at night and ac is 85f in the day time

Looking good man... I agree with Halohoppe, if those are 1000's lift em up a little. My room stay a constant 72 but I still keep the light at least a foot away... I might try those cool tubes on my next grow set up, a lot cheaper then the XXL's !!
