yeah thats what i was thinking could be easiest.

At least at first while you dial them in. What type of containers you going to use?

I'd love it if I could get one to log temps and rh in 15 min increments. And control the lights and fans.

I wasted a whole season with Attitude. Blimburn, Humboldt Seed Org. are bunk. Only good seed I got was a Dutch Passion Blueberry. TBA Subcool and Bohdi are much better umho.

Silver Lotus (Bodhi) getting ripe-maybe a few more days. Cool nights are setting up nicely-getting more dense and crystally Great weather this year! The two big plants are from the same batch of seeds-consistent pheno.

That vivarium system looks pretty good to me

Thanks for the tip . What do you reckon about using them for a grow room controller like this

I think that will do what we're after.

Yeah I won't be doing any indoor till march so plenty of time to suss it out but I like the look of it and it's not a big investment

im growing in airpots so could be a fair bit of dialing in lol. gonna be getting some pond liner at bunnings tommorow and lining my table with it, might make a drain also just incase.

That looks like such a good cross,a little more super silver haze dominant you think ?

Be interesting to see how they go with airpots,I only have had 1 or 2 of them stick but if it's not too hard I'd put in a drain for sure

@John kush93 tel us a bit more bout your setup. what mediums your using. fan cfm and make. what strain youre growing. the feed/water cycles and relative humidity... things like that. Also. when you earn the ability to post pics. upload a couple without the light on. pics will tell us so much more.

Well it's a 1sqr mtr tent, and I have a 1 sqr metre water tray in the bottom, and I have put a auto valve into the tray to fill with water and to stop at about an inch deep and to continue been an inch deep, and I just drain it once a week to to clean the tray itself, and have 4 plants just sat in the tray, 1bubblegum + 3 blues, and I have a 5" Scorpio outake, and a standard 4"inlet , the inlet is pulling air in from the vent in the bedroom and I have got the out take going out the ceiling in to the attic, and as for likes I have a 400+ 600w hps side by side,and temp seems to struggle to get over 23c, the medium I am using is 60/40 Coco+pebbles mix , and using canna Coco a+b and cannazyn every now and then, and pH in water is about 6.8-7.0 not ideal I know but I'm seeing no signs of issues with the ph, that's basically it if there's is anything else you would like to know about it then please ask

Looks fine to me

 

[John kush93]

Do you think the plants look healthy?

Looks fine to me

Upon further inspection of the required fuckassery involved in that vivarium controller. All I can say is- Fuck That Shit. I can't be bothered with all that.

I want a simple controller. Without Internet requirements. Or for me to deal with any bloody computers. Just plug it in. Set temp and rh parameters. And away it goes.

iv now added this to cover water, is that a bit better

 

[Nugachino]

Uh. If it makes you feel better. Then sure...

Absolutely-the smell is like pine crossed with cat piss-I may not need to smoke it-just smell it! Very SSH dominant IMHO.

Just going by this pic your throwing to much light. See how the plants are not growing well in the middle but they are on the outside? They are leaning away from the light.

Its your grow of cause and your power bill but id just run the 400w in that size tent for veg, at a much lower height and the 600 in flower. Maybe run both last week in flower.. Your lights are very high.

How are the roots going sitting in that water, you don't get root rot?

Here you go - I've got 10 strips mounted on some aluminium sheet from Bunnings in a 0.8 x 0.8 box and it really is bright as shit. Also got my prices fucked up, these are about 12 bucks so they really shoot a massive hole in your finances. Plus I used that checker plate aluminium so it looks tough which is a bonus

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5x-TCI-Linear-LED-strip-board-23W-3000K-3540lm-154lm-W-CRI80-Drivers-included/222366303179?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

so 10 strips at 23w = 230w. That seems to be OK for vegging but it may not be enough for flower in a 4 x4? Have you flowered with them yet and in what size space? I'm thinking maybe 25 strips for flowering in a 4x4??
The prices on these are real attractive.
