Beginner to growing Autoflower in an apartment

Temp/Humid: 75-82/40-60
Doing water feeding every 7 days with distilled water and need a good system to feed water to them. Suggestions welcomed!
Growing: Nerviana AK-48 autoflower (since I have small grow space)
Apollo 600w HID lights and vent hood. (I have the mp blub in going at 50% light. With being at 600w the tent heats to 90 to fast. I need immediate help. I'm in an apt with no way to vent the air outside unless moved to the living room to the fireplace....)
PPM: I'm trying to keep the same water, but didn't happen. Using tap water and ozarka water.
3 gallon pots with foxfarm soil and nuts.

One plant has the root extender and nothing to the others. I'm afraid that there is something wrong they are at 16 days in from germ...for my no window problem I bought holmes air purifier, but I don't think it will work in the long run...I'm a bit overwhelmed and would like help.

Hey how are you doing today? You could use a pond pump on a timer with water emitters, why do you need a system for water/feeding are you gone a lot? They look good a little dry around the stem but I dont know when you watered and are you watering just around the plant not the whole pot right cause that would be a waste with little roots going on. You shouldnt be feeding at this stage unless its just like kelp juice till they get a little bigger you dont want to burn them young it will slow them down. I would suggest mounding the dirt up around the stems for support, they will get bigger and you will need to stake them up till they get stronger unless you mound up soon. Another thing you might want to do is hook the filter up before the light and then suck the stink through it, your way doesnt really clean any air. I suck air through my tent and out to a filter 6 feet away to cool it down some what but I have a ton of air flow moving the air to the suction and a little negative pressure going to make it suck to the filter. It may help with the smell to run it before the light but it should really scrub the air in your whole apartment that way really. Soory I get rambling on sometimes I hope some of this helped if not please ask some more questions and we will all try and help.

What size tent looked 4x4 ish, I run bare bulb 600 watt in that space I think you need to move more air in the tent itself, maybe you can vent to a dryer or something that leads hot air to the roof around your place, I have not been in an apartment for years so I cant picture anything, but you may be able to get a window rig to vent out and vent the scrubbed air out and get fresh air from somewhere else hmmm let me think for a few.

Thanks for your response Moondance, I love your name btw! *sigh* I could watch them all day. Attached Here is the progress so far and my light set up... Kelp juice? So I should get a juicer? I was planning on trying to juice the ganja leaves later do you have any advice for that? I saw it on Bong apatite hahaha.
Also my tent is Apollo 32x26x68.

Hi i meant a liquid kelp juice to feed with I use it all the time for my babies and teens, It's organic and they love it, never burns but gives them all kinds of good stuff. Your setup looks pretty good. Get a good quality juicer, the cheap ones break quicker at least on me they do LOL.

Running hid bulbs dimmed really hurts spectrum and shortens the life of the bulb dramatically.

Run at full power and just raise the bulb and lower it over time.

Get an inline fan and carbon filter.
If you got one then exhaust the heat into an attic or outside. I installed a dryer vent for mine. No one will ever notice.

I only have a patio door in my room and the dry is in on the side of my closet. Outside where my vent duct is going there is a vent though, but I don't want the whole complex building I'm in smelling. Also I just can't have a dryer hanging out in the apt not attached where it's supposed to be you know?

Why no prime for the liquid kelp!? D; will this help the roots do I need to buy anything for my other 3 to help with root strength? Also know anywhere to find it?

put that carbon filter in the tent it'll help with heat.. you're pulling air from outside the tent not in it.. put carbon inside the top of tent close it up and see how she looks.. as far as your ehaust, you're using a carbon scrubber smell should be ok so....I was a carpenter for a long time, take a pic of the area and we'll figure it out.. you'll probably need to make a panel out of plywood.. your issue is looking normal on the exterior of the building and not cutting holes in a complex you don't own...pics we'll solve it

You have to rid the heat.

The first picture is of the vent attached to the incline fan.

The 2nd is the fan and ballast hooked to the wall that has the washer and dryer behind it. The bottom of my closet looks like someone has either messed with it before or just foundation problems. Hope this helps I'm horrible at explaining....

maybe im the only one be careful in a rental, if youre not legal

To solve this problem you have to vent outside I see all sorts of headaches here. Like Sunni said your in a rental property bad idea

so his tent gets 100 degrees and you tell him to blow hot ass air that's been through a carbon filter into where the room. That won't solve Anything.

I live in a condo and it's tricky keeping the temps in check. My building has a/c on in the summer, heat on in the winter. No inbetween. I have my tent dialed in and use passive intakes from the room, then vent out through a cooltube and filter. My temps run pretty close to ambient temps in the room. I have a window next to the tent but have a south facing window so I close the blind during the day to keep the heat down.
The key was the cooltube and a few fans in the tent. I have one blowing up their skirts and another over the canopy.
You'll have to play around with different configurations for your space. For example I figured out that I need to seal up a heating vent in the winter because the heat is always on and sweltering.

if your scrubber is big enough get one of these and tap into the dryer exhaust and problem solved..make sure you get a directional flap\ backdraft damper also. don't want dryer venting into your house you'll DIE no joke. but get that filter in your tent and problem solved
