Before I relocated the ballasts outside the room, the temps were spiking around 93-94 degrees as was the air temperature.
Air temps with lights on 84-88 at 45-54 RH now. Water temps are matching air temps. I'm dropping frozen water bottles in right before the lights go out.
Lights out air temps drop down to 77-80.
I'm hoping that by lowering them down to the concrete and covering the lids will reduce the temps in the tanks.
On the plus side I watched some neat YouTube vids about how to make copper coils without kinks and learned something new.

So I'm toying with defoliation and removing the lower fan leaves but leaving all bud sites.
then I realize I have the perfect set up to mess around and learn. CB1&2 and BN1&2. Equally vigorous pairs of plants.
Much like the leaning seedling experiment (it stood back up on its own) this will allow to document the difference in early defoliation.
some before and after pics coming soon

Day 29:
manifolds are all doing well.
pics in order CB1&2 BN1&2 CB2 and BN2 after removing exactly 12 fan leaves from each plant, all from the inner 4 colas. I left the fans on the outer 4 for now until their growth picks up.
the next week of veg will be interesting.
res change in 24 hours

Day 31:
Redid the LST on the colas long enough to bend and flatten out. Manifolds are thick and strong. Serious veg time now to make them big and tall.
i made my own little tweaks to Nebula's manifold, each plant has 10 colas. I kept the top side cola's and cleaned the bottom node on all the plants. Each plant has a slight variant on how the middle two colas are trained flat.
pics in order CB1 side, BN1 top & side, CB1 top

Thanks man.
I've been stressing due to high temps in the room due to the 400w un-ducted light....BUT my 3rd 600w just arrived today and I'm gonna swap em out after work tonight. Having it hooked into the exhaust will lower overall temps in the room. I also acquired a 2nd 440 cfm fan just in case.
The next couple weeks I just need to keep the tips bent down and let em grow and then flip the switch to flower.
The break on PM2 has healed fully, but the growth is stunted on that side. The electrical tape bandage came off after receiving many a misting. Pics will be posted after work. I think she also suffered a little bit under the way too hot 400w by herself. I think she will do better under the new 600w.
Someone who owes me close to a grand is paying me back soon so I'll be able to afford chillers for the next grow. Although fall into winter I shouldn't have to worry too much about res temps.
I'm looking forward to these girls getting all big and bushy

Man, I wish someone owed me a grand!!! Sounds like a good plan. It IS stressful when it gets too hot in the grow room. I stressed and stressed until I got my chiller for my big grow box and that took care of all the root issues I was having.
Glad to hear that the branch healed!! She's a good girl!! ;-}

The growth on the other plants is insane. I had the center two colas bent down at their tips and within 24 hours a whole new inch and a their node and a half out. I also had to adjust the training spots from yesterday on the rest of them as well.
Next res change I'm upping the nutes to full (50%) power. I'm at 40% right now.
The chillers wouldnt arrive for a month if I ordered them today...but I can keep them veggin as long as I wish and max them out size wise before flowering
