Just my very humble opinion, but I would add an air stone with a pump and a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide, but that is just me.

Thanks to everyone for taking a look. I tend to give too much info, so I was trying not to overdo, for flower I have a 450 watt 3000k / red LEDs (off-brand SCHLUX), canopy runs 700-900 ppfd (w/ Photone) , it gets super hot though, and raises the tent temps. I typically run 75-85F and 45% humidity (w/ a humidifier set to keep it at 45%), in the warm months is it ambient 70-90% but in winter it is ambient 30-50%.

I run a carbon filter inside exhausting to a fan and out, and a tower fan that oscillates on low constantly.

For veg I have another area where I use a rig I built with SCHLUX 5000K light bars, 60 watt x 6 @ 18″-24″. The crazy thing about this is it cost about $80 for a 360 watt 2×4 running with an almost identical spectrum to normal lights, runs with way less heat, and the par map is 600-800 at 18″. I grow dwarf tomato bushes with the same light with no issue (I also grow lettuce and radish with just two of these light bars with great success, I have a shelf with two bars rigged to each level). I am seeing 35 days from seed/good clone to an 18″ plant I LST to 10-15 tops and then send to veg (or that is how the last three months have played out).

In the photo here is an early setup where I have Kale in the left, and radish on the right, and some clones that failed when I found out peep pods don’t work well for clone , but its a good example for those light bars. The big rig has no space between the light bars so the intensity doesn’t fall.

I top them at +5 nodes, and then started LST. The main issue I am seeing is the buds are really small. I know I light burned them with keeping them at 12″ from the light, changed that to 18″ in week 4, and they seemed to stop burning. I am using MasterBlend Tomato for nutes, but I plan on changing that in the next run.

I beat the mites with Exile Potassium Salt Soap Foliar Spray which is good upto day before harvest. Took about 10 days, and I sprayed every 3 days to the point where the entire plant was dripping from the tops and bottoms. Make sure to spray from every direction. It is a miticide, fungicide, and insecticide in one. It seems to work well, but I still get a few fungus gnats.
