Glad things are looking up! The only issue I can see with rerouting your bloom exhaust to heat the veg area is the humidity factor, you might want to keep an eye on that? I use my exhaust to help heat my bedroom! LOL :)Nov 2 update. The Cherry Bomb looks like it has recovered from the low soil ph problem, its still low 5.65 but its moving in the right direction. Its grown about 3" inches this week The KC39's only about 2" same as Bubba. I've got the temp and humidity just about right at 79f and 55%.
2 clones I took off the Cherry Bomb are looking great and I'm just about ready to put them into the large pots. Another 2 clones I cut off the same week look like they were effected by the same low ph issue with curling leaves and spots they must of inherited from mom but are doing much better this week. I'm now moving them into the flower room for 12 hrs then back to the veg room for another 6
.
Something I read this week on this site implied that plants use a dark period to absorb nutrients. I've been running 24 hrs and love the growth I get doing that but if my plants aren't absorbing nutes during a dark period then that maybe part of the reason for my low soil ph. I'm not sure 100% but I'll cut back the hours to 18 and see if over time I notice any difference in soil ph as a result.
I also re-routed my flower room exhaust to the veg room to take advantage of the heat from the 1000w & rewired all my equipment supply wires to better balance the loads and to clean up cords I had crisscrossing my space.

Do you mean it will make my veg room to dry? My basement is pretty damp and I'll need to dehumidify my flower room soon. Right now its about 50 -55% up to 60 when I close the flower room up tight then the heat and humidity go up but the veg room will stay at the 50-60 range I have an in house fresh air return system that works better than I thought. I'd set it down to 40% during the high humid days and forgot about it, this October It had dried us out to 35% now its set for 50% alls good .Glad things are looking up!

Absolutely could. My little sealed room is 4x6x6.5 I have a CO2 controller that monitors and records CO2 levels. I can literally watch the CO2 drop from high nighttime levels of 2000ish ppm to 600 in 30-45min when lights come onWouldnt the bloom exhaust be depleted of co2?
it gives me over 2 extra days of growth compared to 18 hrs because from what I've learned plants need energy to grow and its provided by the light and plants don't need to sleep. Specially in early days, I can see the daily growth much more on 24 than 18 but I'm starting to think doing that for 3+ months is not a good idea. I end up with problems like I had this time. I've run into problems in the past and I'm going to go 18 now and see if it makes a difference.It is my understanding as well as my experience, which could be incorrect, but I was always taught that the plant made the food/energy during the light periods but uses them and does most of the actual growing during the dark. I know that plants grown 24/24 tend to be much shorter and more compact, mostly due to no stretching during the dark periods. I know some folks grow under 24 and seem to do OK with it, although I think a lot of them were Auto strains.
????????? oh no don't give me more problems to look at. I have pretty good air flow and I'm light tight not air tight ( air contained ) but not tight. I have like 3 separate zones divided by heavy fabric and panda plastic 5x5x5x5 frames for flower and the same separate fabric room 5x4x5x4 panda plastic frames with my work space in between. Its a great room for growing but I only have 5' under the light with ducting and an oil tank tucked in there with me, I'm banging my head into the duct work all the time, its pretty tight in some places but it works and no one knows its there, except you guys so don't tell my neighbors.Wouldnt the bloom exhaust be depleted of co2?

intake is the flower room air now and I exhaust the veg room to another basement / workshop I have an oscillating fan and as i said light tight not air tight I hope I'm okay. Please don't make me have to buy something my wife will freak.As long as there is enough fresh air mixed in for veg you would be alright.

Hey man I see you asking about GH Flora 3 part, I used it for almost 3 years up until earlier this year. If you have questions I might be able to make some recommendations or at least tell you how I used it, I had great success with it and only switched because of a big price increase, I have two full gallons of pink and green still hanging around LOL but none of the brown so when I went to order it it went from like 28 bucks to 38 bucks in my cart so I started trying other products and now mainly use the Masterblend, I use the GH out in my tomatoes now :) it did a great job this year!intake is the flower room air now and I exhaust the veg room to another basement / workshop I have an oscillating fan and as i said light tight not air tight I hope I'm okay.

Man I tell ya.. you all out to make me jealous. You eating my favorite Sammy's for a month and dirtbag with his joints and tropical vaca's. Lol conspiracy I say.LOL that's all I've been eating for months I still have a few to go Sammy's to go!

I lived for my southern vacations, it was like the carrot hanging out in front of me. It gave me purpose to work, wife handled all the bills with her income mine went to southern vacations. We got together in1987 and we went south every year some years 2-3 times except for 2001 until about 4 years ago. Now we're too broke to do that, not the disposable income we once had. I called it palm tree fever, come hell or high water I was going to get some winter sunshine.Man I tell ya.. you all out to make me jealous.

Never traveled a whole lot outside of Canada except for work. For me I love fishing I get out lots in the summer and that my reprieve. Of course I have my cell phone with for work :/I lived for my southern vacations, it was like the carrot hanging out in front of me.

Oh I've fished and fished and fished, but I decided if I wanted to eat fish I'd have more luck at Safeway down isle 2 comes in a tin, I like mine solid not that flaked stuff goes well on toast with mayo and chopped veggies.Never traveled a whole lot outside of Canada except for work.

Take up some rays for me and don't forget the sunglasses sometimes a beautiful view can somehow end up leading to a backhand across the head lol... Not that I would know. Hope you have a blast man
I made some money in 1977 working for the BC salmon commission, up on Chilko lake about a hundred miles towards the coast from Williams lake. I had no where to spend my money for 2 months, during which time my parents went to Hawaii and said if I ever get the chance. Come October that year I packed my ten speed bike and camping gear and went there with $200 bucks and an open ended ticket. I returned the following June. While I was there I picked up palm tree fever and have spent all the money I ever made in my adult life on travel to southern locations to give me some relief from the pain I feel in the cold dark days of winter in Canada,lol. No boat,no atv, no camp or camper or vacation home, no money in the bank either lol.Never traveled a whole lot outside of Canada except for work.

I can sympathize to that. I hate winter. My joints and body period hate the bitter cold.I made some money in 1977 working for the BC salmon commission, up on Chilko lake about a hundred miles towards the coast from Williams lake.
