    Hey everyone. im looking for some advice. im fighting my tent on my first grow. my plants are growing hydro. they are about 2 weeks old. im having 2 issues. one is keeping my VPD in a happy place. when i keep my vpd around .8 it throws my tent temp way down…around 60. if i force my temp up…my VPD lives around the 1 mark. running an exhaust fan, heater and humidifier.

    my other struggle i think is my PPM of my water. it keeps creeping up. my roots are just now starting to reach the water and are now starting to be exposed from the clay pebbles. the pebbles were washed before starting. im wondering if its just material from the pebbles washing up. should i reset the bucket now that the water will be below the pebbles for the remainder of the grow?

    I would slow your exhaust fan. I run mine as slow as I can.

    If this is truly your first grow, put VPD on the back burner. Focus on the mechanics of your system, and whether they are functional or not.

      Agree with not worrying the first time just keep note. I’m on east coast my house climate controlled but I still have a couple growing seasons inside lol. Lights are cool but environment is where it’s at
