Point a circulation fan on each opposite side of the donut down at the area I`m callin the "passive air intake" between the rollers/casters and however tall enough to allow good airflow into the bottoms and up thru the lil plants , and that allows the muffin fan in the middle to help pull in the outside air and push it straight up creating a column of air recirculating 24/7 to control heatgain as much as possible.....then.....
To attach reflectix to the racks just wrap some short strips of ducktape around the front and back then use a regular paper "hole punch" and punch holes where needed to stick cable ties/tie wraps to up down and all around and reflectix panel done with no possible ripping..... and before I forget about it.....Getchas some Drip Clean from H&G and add 1ml per gal EVERY feed but do it from start of grow never in the middle.....
It locks onto excess nutrients and prevents residual salt buildup in the medium , and the best part is there`s all but no need for runoff with coco anymore with Drip Clean in the feed regimen compared to me dumpin 100`s of gallons of runoff for yrs and yrs...…
I never knew what Botanicare Cal/Mag Plus was till I went balls out coco , and then I found out real quick about coco`s CEC/cation exchange capacity with Chem D deficient left and right , so I got some and it saved the day.....keep it on hand......
GH has I think the name is Cali-magic that`s completely different from Botanicare in that CalMag plus is Calcium Nitrate based , while GH`s stuff is Calcium Carbonate based that can be used up into flower if needed …..never used Cali-magic so don`t quote me on how far into bloomage it can be used , but no extra nitrates are ever needed after end of stretch IME , and that`s all I know.....aight....
Headed to the lake with # 1 son to play with the new fishin drone.....finds the fish , drops the bait right on top of the schools , hit return and it comes back to the boat and lands all the while you hang on and fill the coolers and livewells with supper.....Holler and......
Take care.....DHF..... …….
Hey Freds,
Thank you for the suggestion...I will do it. As per your advice I've been using cal mag 1ml/l and protekt for silica...I also have the drip clean...I am seeing some light green new growth....which might be lights too close at 10-11". Do you think I should back them up, or just let them get used to it? I calibrate my ph pen before every use now..
