sorry man,I misunderstood.
maybe you really need a chiller,don't u think?

i dont have space for chiller..:frown:really! iorder something calls
ice probe but is for small aquariums.
my think for cool the water is a "drop in chiller"..
this days i look for this.also this days the temps will drop..

i check the whether in web.looolllll:elf:


25 degrees is a little warm, but if your plants are healthy they will be fine. I never have used a res chiller before this year and I had summer temps that make 25 look cool.

Peace, :joint:

my plants looks healthy as never and day by day looks like
a small trees.if a have litle more space..but this is it..unleast,
is safe..secret doors..behind other secret doors..;)
any way.. my ph is a litle down 5,1 but plants seems to not hAve problem with that.roots as you see are white but the temps
are high.. do i have to add H2O2 or i wait and if a see root rot,then add it?
i ve notice some burn tips, but are few..this happend because the 2.0 ec..i fix it to 1,8 and this level works great.
can i rise it i litle bit in the middle of the flower?
also how do you think for 6m-9b and some pk13-14??
thanks

I try to never let the plants get below 5.5 or above 6.1. I put them back to 5.8 when they get out of that range.

I have never used the H2O2, and if all is well why use it? I don't think it is supposed to increase yield.

I don't know about the additive you are suggesting, but for me I am using about 9% of the recommended amount of additive as my secret ingredient and it seems to rock!

I would not use more than 10% of whatever your magic bottle says. Your plants look great and no need to go nuts on your first try of a bloom additive.

Peace, :joint:

my ph now has 5,7 after a few ml ph up.
i gave them some h2o2 for prevention because i have a litlle
high temps.just 2,5ml in 80litres.besides in 2 days this stuff evaporated. and is not for yield.is good for the roots.
i realized and my own that im said.

my magic botlle bro is a pk 13-14 from canna.nothing else.
i have no additives at all in my shelf.i order clearex.thats is
good new.i trust you with your advices and i like and the
way you write.clear and serious.
i would like 2 see m plants full of green but it doesnt.
i have def spots and im sure yet,that green botle helps a lot..
now i do my nuts add in controller..small dosages to be sure.
if 0-0-0 what is your full strengh for gallon in flower.
im asking you because i wanna do it even and now.
thanks for the help and i hope some day you see the most green
pk s in the other side of world my friend.

cheers

They still look VERY HAPPY :) :D

I would leave, KEEP, not quit, continue with the 1000w. They look fine I am sure you were talking about air temps not water temps. If water temps are too high ADD RO ICE or frozen water bottles to reduce temps.

Peace, :joint:

im talking about water temps the last 3 hours of 12/12.
i saw 29c in the water and :sasmokin: the devil smiles me and says....
-root rot,, root rot.. im gonna kill your plants soonnnnn..
..and after that i make my cross and change the light..
looollllll. if a take the risk with 1000w prechaps in the future
plants begin a monsters...or disasters..
thanks

edit i tried with ice but nothing..to get lower the temps
i need lot of ice and someone to work with this.

i make a research here for a diy drop in chiller.

Just because you are smart and cool don't expect me to be teaching myself Greek anytime soon. It is hard enough to understand plants.

I wish you the best of luck with your plants! I am travelling to Greece with my girlfriend who is greek this summer I wish I could bring my chiller for you I don't need it anymore lol it makes all the difference.

Your best bet if you are not going to buy a 1/5 or 1/10hp chiller is to get a water cooler and disassemble it in order to get the chilling "puck" which will easily cool 5-10 gallons of water.

Good luck! I also love the beers! :friends:

thanks fellas.

today i see some small holes in some leaves.not pest damages..
i think must change the water soon..i havent make change since a month ago and maybe the water became toxic?
i dont know.i dont want to make water change.is a pain in the ass
for me..
my roots are creamy white and the problem seems 2 effect the leaves.
also there is a case of low ph..low ph can effect leaves in this way??
thanks

They are looking good to me. I am not a big fan of the blue PH up, but we need to keep our babies in the 5.6 - 5.9 range.

What PPM are they at now, and how do you refill the res as they drink? RO water only or more nute mix at xxx PPM?

Peace, :joint:
