I'm going to study up threads here first.. The whole root rot and Temp equasion. looking like 64 is ideal. I am at 70. But we have had a couple warmer days and last night I kicked the wall AC unit back up. 40 today and tomorrow and then 70. (Probably changed since last night) Aquarium heater in res also got unplugged. After that whole bug deal, I hate to switch to dirt for the summer run. I was also going to build a screen for scrog, for current but why? Not sure I really need that much. Until our last butter batch, I had jars from the last 4 years. - Real work again today.

There is a guy on you tube that built a home made cooler using a tiny AC unit and dipped the ac cooling coils in the rez.
 
Note to self - Flipped Black Berry Kush to 12/12. Added H2O to Res. Nutrients mixed for 20 Gal - Solution total is 30 Gal. Ended up with 5.5 PH riding it out till tomorrow. Res temp 58 because of change - riding that out too.
 
Never really grown anything but Christmas trees before. We'll have to see how this works out. I'm thinking I may have to cut a window in the front of my reservoir as I am currently lifting the top when checking/adjusting PH, and making nutrient solution corrections.

I should have waited to flip just a little bit longer. I figured with the stretch they would fill in just fine for the first time of ever running a screen. How I get inside to check and change is still puzzling me but my brain is ticking. I only fill it about 1/3 and as long as when I close the light stays out, everything should remain fine.
 
Love the screen homie! Looks very nice. I don't know hydro, but could a person put a drain **** in the side of the res down by the bottom to be able to drain a little out to checking/adjusting?
 
Stop **** at bottom for drain is fine. I check PH and PPM with a blue lab meter usually once a day and I am just getting to the point where (Seems to me) they start feeding rapidly. They really start sucking down the solution and I sort of watch water level VS PPM's and stuff like that. Sometimes it drinks more water and leaves the nutrients behind in the res. I have to refill with straight H2O about once a week. I am experimenting on only changing res out every 14 to 21 days at this point. I seen threads of a few who never changed. Still, I have to be able to maintain the overall level of the solution. Yeaaa - I better smoke another one.
 
Somehow I am going to have to corral these roots or I am going to have to build something surrounding the pump to keep them out. I cut the bottoms and lolli popped (I guess) the tops of the plants. Basically snapped the 2 nodes over. Net is not working out so far. I will design some way of connecting it to the lid of the res itself next run. I will post pictures tonight.
