Hmm, noisier than I thought it would be! I have a 5" exhaust fan on constantly and a 6" exhaust fan on low setting on a thermostat so when temps hit 21c it speeds up. Both fans have silencers on the ducting which helps a little but the fans are pretty noisy.
 
Nice clean looking setup up...how big is the tent/room? How much light are you using?

Thanks so much and great looking room

Thank you uraceulose. The room is approximately 2.9m x 2.6m and 2.3m high. For the one plant I have 2 x vertically hung 600w HPS bulbs. When then were two plants I had 3 x vertically hung 600w HPS bulbs.

I've used some twine to separate the two main stems to allow light to more of the plant...

I think it works out 1ml nutrient per litre of tap water, but I've never worked it out properly. I keep ec at 1.2 for flowering and pH 5.5, which I'll allow to drift up to 6.5 before adjusting again.

Thank you OakyJoe and jtk707. She's much bigger than the last two I've had through the system. I'm finding my feet with tree style grows and I.ve realised veg period and strain are very important factors. We'll see how this one turns out hey.
