My Room

Above the Floor:
Above the floor starts with a Can Filter 75 attached to a GrowBright Mach 8" Inline Fan. 8" duct connects the aforementioned to three Straight 8 coolable glass tubes with a Sunsoaker Reflector. More 8" duct vents these cooltubes out a window. The grow lights (1000watts) are on a timer. They run 18 hours, from 8am to 2am.

It is warmer under the Cooltube than the room temperature. I can easily touch the glass of the cooltube itself; it isn't too hot. I do have a box fan blowing in the room.

Water:
House water is connected to a Hydro Logic Stealth-RO100 Reverse Osmosis System which feeds into a 45 gallon storage tank.

I use an HM Digital PH and Temperature Meter -

- to adjust the water (5.5 to 6.5) before adding Humboldt nutrients, following the "Professional Feeding Chart - Soil." schedule. However, I do not use the Sea Cal, (Don't ask me why, IDK) I water the plants from above, lifting the leaves up with the back of my hand and pouring the nutrient water around the pot on the dirt. I do rotate the plants at least once a day.

And that's all I got to say about that.

Sounds like a good setup. Got some pics?
To me 18hrs on is too much light and with 1000w running it will eat up on your electricity. Have you thought about using the Gas Lantern Routine light cycle for vegetative plants? They grow faster with less light and you'll save on production cost. Let me know how it goes.

I haven't heard of this before. I'm very interested. It's a little scary though. It would be really bad if the plants went into bloom prematurely.
