Hey guys, unfortunately I've been unable to keep the heat down in my grow room during the day but I've noticed a drop of 8 degrees when misting the plants with water, so I've decided to put together a low-key misting system instead of splashing out on an air conditioner.
I've bought a garden timer to regulate the amount of water ( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Outdoor-Electronic-Automatic-Water-Timer-Garden-Watering-Irrigation-System-EN24-/400578963791?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item5d445de94f&_uhb=1 ) and a low cost misting kit ( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261289257197?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 ), the only problem is the pH of my tap water is 8.2 which is obviously far too high for plants growing in Coco coir. The only way I can think to solve this is to use a pressurized bottle ( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pressure-Sprayer-Bottle-8L-/121182145315?pt=AU_Hardware&hash=item1c3704cb23&_uhb=1 ) so I can be sure the pH is correct.
Has anybody had experience putting together something like this before? I'd really value some input / advice.
Thanks!
