Distilled or not, it still needs to be pH-ed correctly.

One time won't matter too much. You can go back to your usual schedule or continue from the time you discovered it. You'll be fine.

Ideal would be in the 70s with no more than 10* variance. If you are an expert or master you may do the lower temps for purple plants.

One short night cycle won't hurt...

Miracle Grow should never be used for cannabis. I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest after my clones get roots. You can also use Fox Farm Light Warrior. That's more for seedlings and clones.

Cool! I like HTG. Their prices are great and they just opened a store in Denver. I buy from a local store (MUCH closer than Denver) that matches their prices but no shipping. But HTG is hard to beat! Keep us updated with your grow!

Not bad! I wouldn't be topping it like that but that's just me. As far as Fox Farms, I use their full line. Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, MicroBrew, Sledge Hammer, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloom and Cha Ching. Also pH down, CalMag+ and FloraNectar. I use Ocean Forest and if you are...

Getting ready to buy a new Nikon D5100 camera... pictures of my newest grow room and plants to come!

If you're using the right soil and the right nutes, you don't have to worry about the pH of your soil. Keep the pH of the water between 6.3 and 6.7. 6.0 is too low for soil grow. Light penetration is probably your problem. Dropping lower leaves is not a big deal. Your plants look fine to...

Get them back on their regular light cycle. The worst that will happen is Hermies...

Get a T5 fixture with bloom bulbs...

Once I got the HV inline fan I haven't had temp problems. You're going to pull from the house and vent into the house. I don't think that will be an issue as long as the house has mid level temps. The noise...? That depends on the fan quality you buy. The fans that are twice as expensive...

It's cause it's mounted to the house frame. I did that and you could hear it through the entire house. Now I have it in a cardboard box with a pillow underneath it sitting on the floor. It's very quiet now.

Light doesn't bend but it does reflect... I know about the fan cause that's how I started with one of those cheap duct "booster" fans. They don't work. And I'm surprised they sold you a Cool 6 instead of a Cool 4. You don't need an intake fan. The exhaust fan will pull through your intake...

The only problem with that is that your plant can shoot up in one day and burn... I keep my two 400w HPS around 8" from the top of my plants. I check them the next day and sometimes some will shoot up a few inches over night. So I will back the plant off. All my plants are on various stands...
