Glad to report the pH has pretty much stabilized. Only increasing slightly, PPMS/EC decreasing slightly, and root growth has exploded. I think it just took a few days to break in and I was having the first timer paranoid worries.

Just keep an eye down below, you are right on the bubble re temps. I found that my threshold using tea was around 72-73 and things started to go bad, that was running spray nozzles so maybe different. I tried DWC once, not a success to say the least, and had cream of root soup lol.

So far my temps have been good. I was using CFLs and just swapped over to the LED, so I don't have much heat buildup. It's in a spare bathroom with the door open, so it gets plenty of air flow. Plus I'm hot natured so I keep the AC set on around 68*. So far res temps have stayed steady around 69-70*.

It was more the Res temps that I was referring to but yup if you can maintain that you should be good.

Figured I would come back here and update. I haven't had any more fluctuation issues. I think it was just the initial res starting. Once I do a res change it fluctuates for a couple of days then settles. First timer stressing I guess. Quick picture of how they are looking now.
