I plan on turning the lights over to 12/12 on Wednesday and turn on Co2. The setup is 3x3 in a walk in closet that I am working on sealing tight. This is my first scrog screen, how did I do? The ones popping out still need a bit of length before I can tuck them in once more. I have a questions about that. should I snip the very tops now to encourage internal and lower growth?
My Waterfarm kept needing too many adjustments with ph and adding water. I added a Res to slow it down. First off, those bulkheads suck, they keep popping out doing stuff. I tried to silicone them in but I guess I was too impatient, they still popped out. I got them in and I think it is safe. I will use PVC glue after harvest. I think I will steal my fish tank's water alarm and install it there for peace of mind it is making me nervous. My other problem is my 250gph pump is pumping out the water from the pot faster than gravity can fill it from the res. I really need bigger pipe, The question is, how big do you think I need? The plan is to have 2 pots, and having both on a T to the pump sucking, so itll be half as fast, do you guys think the 1/2 inch I have on there then will keep up then? For now I threw in a valve and closed it till gravity is actually filling the pot. It is crazy how weak it is, I included a picture of how I had to slow it down to a trickle. It works for now but it sucks and I want to make sure the pump doesn't overheat.
Last I am proud of my vents lol. I never put holes in walls before. These are going to be for cooling a tiny thermoelectric AC that should keep up with a 150sqft room cooling the inside of the 3x3 (Whole closet is only 49sqft) using its internal air, while using external air (from my bedroom closet) to cool itself (Condenser) and vent it out (Into my always cold bathroom). This is the product here. Also missing still is the chiller. The pipe going to the res is going to the chiller and a pipe from the ciller to the res. I also have shiny sticky insulation stuff coming for the buckets instead of foil.
What do you think of my setup?
Here is what is going on in there when done.
RDWC Waterfarm x 2
SF-4000 Light
6 Stage RO/DI
AC-Infinity AC Infinity Cloudline T4 - Only activates if temp reaches over 30.
Carbon Filter
5lb Co2 + Controller for sealed (except for door frame, sealed with tick compressed foam) walk in closet (6.5x7.5x
Tiny Dehumidifier, Tiny Humidifier both on controller
Smart Thermo AC (I think it is a heater too) -25C day / 20C day or heat if lower than 17C night.
GH Air pump driving dripper/bubbler in each Waterfarm
120L fishtank pump powering bubbler in res
Disc bubblers
Active Aqua AACH10HP Chiller - 21C new plant and +1C every week till it is kept at a maximum of 25C.
3xCameras monitoring Plant / controllers set to notify me of any alarms (heat L/H, humitidy L/H, water leak)
Fan on ground blowing across the wall to the opposite side upwards, it'll be diverting the AC's air and Co2.
2x23W UVB lights for flowering 2h/day mid cycle.
I know I must have gone mad for 2 plants, I feel that way anyway. Other than my shitty RDWC job, I am pumped!
