I plugged up the holes last night (like my nagging brain told me to do) and I can see the growth explode. Its the little things you overlook sometimes...
Yep sometimes it is the small things that bite you in the ass LoL.

Also my tubs stay at room temp, around 68-72 degrees usually, so the internal temps run 78-80 degrees but there is nothing I can really do about that because my heat is off in my apartment so I can't get it any colder in the room unless I turn on the AC..

Thats a great idea. I like that. I'm tied of hand mixing these mono's and trays. Would you be willing to post a picture of the kind of mixer you're using? Would it be too messy if you're working with trays versus a tub that allows you to kind of splash it around?

I know LD does his at 80 in the room. I've got 78 usually in my spawn/lab.

No kidding...that's a 8 degree spread with Spawn. That's crazy.
I'm going to go drop my temps a bit.

I always wondered, though my spawn grow very nicely @ 78-80.
So I'll keep it at the 78 mark for the tubs to make sure they don't get too hot (damned sharing spawn room)

LoL.. My apartment gets super hot during the summer and we have a wall unit AC in the living room only and it doesnt cool my master bedroom/grow room so I need to get a portable AC unit to stick in the bedroom to keep temps down cause it easily gets to 85+ in the bedroom.

I keep my room right around 72, once it goes over 76 I get pissed knowing my trays and/or mono's are sitting around 84 with that.
And yeah come summer I'm gonna be sweating it as well. I'll be looking for a good portable AC unit soon, thankfully it only has to cool 360 cubic feet of space. The great thing about having a completely sealed lab thats small: easy to control the climate.
Downside: no room. =(
