Thats good. I was starting to think you & I had too much in common as I was contemplating biting the bullet & starting again but fresh this time. Im now thinking my problems started the moment I decided that I could clean my hydroton good enough to recycle it. This grow Im in now Im running the clay that I used when I first got this setup. I washed it, stored it & got another 8 bags for the second grow. I wont make that mistake again.

Ive only just starting using a solis tek digital ballast 1000 wat can have Single ended or double ended globes.

Settings are 600w, 660w, 750w, 825w, 1000w and 1100 watts

Im pretty stoked with it.

But if your a new grower mate i suggest a 600 watts till you get some grows under ya belt.
I use to pull a pound to 18ozs under a se 600watt.

Looks more of a cold symptom to me. Maybe if the roots were dry it could be heat but I doubt they are unless your pump failed. Is that pic during lights off cycle?

Yeah i done some reading. I had my fan on high an AC pumping straight on plants cause i plumbed it in front top of tent. So i cable tied the ducting to a tent pole so its not pointing directly on the plants now.
I also turned the AC off during lights off.

Cut a hole in ceiling to pull hot air out.
Plumb up a 200mm silenced fan.
Hang it from ceiling post some pics once it done.

Im having the same problem again aswell. To keep my temps below 27C & RH around 45% I have my ac set on 18C. The other morning I decided to go in with a green light during lights off thats when I discovered it was freezing 16.5C & 85% RH because the ac was cranking out 18C.

Yeah Im trying to do that aswell but its a struggle cause my ac unit is in the room with the plants which means I have to turn the ac temp up or off just before lights off at 6am then I have to go back in as soon as the lights turn on to turn ac back down or temps hit 32C real fast. Next time tound Im getting a mate to install proper ac/heatpump so I can set & forget. Its my first time using ac so whole new set of problems
