Well, I only use the GH flora series but have had good results with them. In general it is best to increase your P and K when in flowering and that is what Kool Bloom does. There are a lot of products out there that do pretty much the same thing so it becomes a matter of chose if you want to try it. If you do I would recommend using it at 1/2 the recommended strength and see if that dose has a positive effect and then add the other 1/2 later if things look good.

Im worried about my temps averaging 80-84F - glad i didnt go any bigger than a 250w for that space!!!

So tell me guys, is this really bad for my plants - someone told me i should upgrade my extractor fan to one that moves 500-600m3 per hour (at the moment its running on its fastest setting of 187m3 per hour) but i just cant afford to do that at the moment.

Its basically about 84F when its been left closed up for several hours and then when i open up to inspect things ive seen it dip to about 80 or below.

The humidity can vary but it seems about right depending on the temperature - just hope im doing eveerything ok... like i say i cant afford to upgrade my extractor fan at the moment - will my plants be ok or is this seriously affecting growth?

how close do you guys keep your plants to the light?
4-6 inches is how far you're supposed to keep a 250 HPS above the plants/canopy.

If your temps allow for it you can keep it closer, I keep mine about an inch above my tallest plant with no burn issues.

Hope this helps and welcome to the club :bigjoint:.
