Haha,oops my bad im on my phone shitty spelling lol, I ment by the way where did you pick these clones up at? Which shop?
Theyre all shut down around here for the most part so I had to resort to CL for these so theyre not certified or anything but I trust the dude

its pretty much just a fan with some kind of semi absorbent material (sealed cardboard, maybe a sponge idk) behind the fan and then cold water is constantly dripped on the material and cools the air as the fan pushes it into the room, it may raise your humidity level so youd probably wanna keep this outside your flower room but try to cool the air outside of it, it may help
how often do i need to change the water/coolent supply?

maybe daily if it is small, you may have to add ice to the water as well if it is not lowering your temperatures to your desired degree

hrm seems like too much work for me hahahaha

after moving the thermometer down to the level of the plants the temp its reading has dropped 3-5 degrees already, so im not too too concerned.

These 2 I have had a particularly hard time pinning down with just clothes hangers, they just rip them right out of the ground, the other ones grow with them pretty nicely for the most part though.

I will be setting up a screen in the next couple of days here if not today to resolve this.

Once I put the screen in though, do I need to continue to try to tie them down or just let the screen do its work?

my opinion is let the screen do the work for the most part till they r bigger and flowering, you still have to arrange them by hand as you see fit to make the screen fill out evenly, u could also use some string to pull it apart to turn it around your pot, they r looking good tho:joint:

anything can really work, i would want something a little more gentle then chicken wire, u could make one yourself with a frame and some synthetic rope

3 by 3 would work, its really just whatever you think will work for what you hope to accomplish for your plant, i would say make samller holes if you wanna work your plat outwards more

These girls are growin fast! I need to make and put the screen up asap.

Also added 2 more T5 lights to assist in lighting beneath the canopy. Total I have 8 T5 lights now, 6 @ 6500k, 2 @ 3000k. In flower I will run the opposite.
