Thanks, Wetdog. This water had been sitting out for several days. I can figure out how to lower the pH. For now, I have several gallons of distilled water.
I've been looking at my temps. My thermostat and thermometer were in the top of the grow room and everything was set to keep the temps between 72 and 78.
I moved the thermometer to the bottom of the room, under the lights. With the exhaust fan off, the temp readings were near 100. The thermometer was picking up air temp plus the radiant heat from the lights. So, I now have the exhaust fan running 24/7 and I have a small fan for circulation. I have one plant in the grow room now and it seem to be Ok.
Here's my question. This morning, the temp is 80 degrees at the bottom. When I put the thermostat behind the mylar to block the radiant heat, it reads about 55. So, what does the plant care about? The weather has been mild lately but when a cold front hits (in a few days), the air temp will be much lower than 55.
