AIR TEMP VS. WATER TEMP?

[2fast4u2]

ubet, i think you are the first person so far that i feel i have a lot in common with, you should post as often as possible, I hate misinformation and unfortunately, compared to a particular forum i frequent, this site seems less informative.

But, this site has tons of great growers and i think it is great for experienced growers, newbs, not so much, buy a book or find a newb friendly site, thats what i did, now im giving the advice!

(ph flux is a bitch with aero)

Thats no lie there it did take awhile to fine tune the water now i hardly use ph up or down at all just nutes or water.

I acutely did Ebb & Flow with serious AK-47 i did pull 7 zips a plant, they were 3 ft plants. Then i bought my aero set up and fell in love.

Sorry to the OP i will not clog up your thread no more.

Thats insane, my closest grower friend ONLY grows ak47, and pulls an average of 6 ounces per plant, but he vegges for two months and his mother is ungodly, he sells clones for 100 a pop, ouch!

Dont apologize to the op, he is learning too, i loved when my threads got hijacked by informative people, ive learned the most that way!

Sammy I have a polarbear chiller. I recently replaced it with an ecoplus. If I had to do it all over again I would have not purchased the polar bear. They can only handle min/max 100/300 gallons per hour, which worked great for my 12 bucket setup on a 246ecoplus pump. It never burped always handled it, but if your going to spend the money get something that can handle min/max 633/1056 gph.

I explain water temps like this, on a hot day, doesn't it feel nice to put your feet in some cool water? Helps cool you down, now if it was 80 you would be wasting your time, might as well retreat to the air conditioning.

the key here is first have a solid water temp 68F. Then get the room dialed in and shoot for temps between 75 and 77. The canopy should be 77F.


I honestly believe you can have the canopy temp quite a bit higher than 77 and have bomb plants. Personally the crew of growers I know like to run their canopy between 87-91. They keep the 1000's less than a foot away from the plants...they might see a little burn on the top but they make up for it with no larf or undergrowth. Consistently see these guys pulling 2 p's per light... 60 days veg, 60 days bloom...

I have a cabinet that I'm running with a DWC the
Room temp is at 65-63 f
Cab temp runs 75f with lights 65f with out lights. lights on 18/6
and the DWC is a 64 -65 f
Is this too cold? should I raise the temp up to around 68 f?
