I think youāll be fine but ,Next time I would pH it down to 6.5 before watering. Watch the plants responds.

Any heat issues with those sodiumās?
Yeah 8 is way high. I ph at 6.5 +- and heat off those sodiumās are crazy hot. I run 8 1000 watters in air hoodsā¦need to exhaust those air hoods makes a world of difference and lots of air flowā¦ redoing my intakes cause I canāt run mini splits in cold on air sideā¦ been thereā¦
Oh and environmental are huge issues and ph. Bugs love that heat too

My ballasts donāt get hot at all and cool actually but the heat off the lights is what I was talking about.without mini splits and exhaust my room will get in the high 90s even when cold outside. Heat, ph,humidity, under watering (never had over watering issues) were all my issues at one time at firstā¦When hot or using coco a lot in mixes youāll have to water more. Wish you the best when you go bigger you have bigger issues Iāve found. Like a full time job almost until you dial in all the issuesā¦

im having issues with heat and noise from a supposedly acoustic tornado extraction fan so do i get cool shades or do i buy a better extraction fan ?
U have an attic above your grow room? And what state u in?Cold winters? My rooms a bit bigger then yours but not by much itās 20āx20ā and running filtered intake in the center of the room with 8ā 740 cfm blower and a āTā on it with like 5ā ducting on each side of the t all pipe insulated and not the flex insulated pipe. Smooth walled pipe air flows through better wrapped with R-8 insulation and rooms staying around 73 deg. Veg rooms 75 and intake blowers are on a temp controller (cooling)ā¦Donāt have a pic or Iād show up what Iām talking aboutā¦in short Iām sucking cooler air out of my attic just for the winter only. Outside airs to cold didnāt want to do that but air in attics warmer then outside and itās working great.
Run two of these on both intakes. Gets a above 76 turns on blower gets below 74 or 73 shuts blowers off. Like $18-$19 a pc is allā¦ Hope this book I wrote helps you
it really does help me and i have a device like this called a inkbird but im a little uneasy using it as im always afraid of these things failing resulting in fire. as far as the tornado air extractor goes its like i can here the electricity going through it

That doesnāt sound goodā¦Regarding the ink bird I have three of those two I bought weāre for heating 
One is for heating and cooling and havenāt used it yet. That Blk or BNk what ever it is easy to use set it and doneā¦ Blowers donāt drawn much juice 2 Amps tops even with the 740 8ā cfm one I have for flower room intake so not as concerned on pulling to much with it out of thee wall. How the heat?
