I def will post the numbers!.. You can see the last grow results in my signature, and we are growing the same strains from the same cloned mothers, so there's an even playing field. We have all labs and results from the past 2 years. Im kinda excited to see how it comes out myself!
I’m familiar with the hydro x. Kinda affordable connectivity. The sensors look to b reasonably priced, also.
What do u dehumidify with, Por favor?
Nothing I'm lucky in location. I have to add humidity during veg.
dittoMan I know the feeling. I laid in bed last night contemplating how to solve this leak issue after spending several hours reading about how others dealt with it. Woke up and drove to Lowe's at 7:00 am this morning to pickup some new supplies. Waiting for my nozzles in anticipation. This covid-19 shit has been great for me. Been laid off since the beginning of April working on my garden and house every day from sun up to sun down. If I had kids I think it would be very different
I've enjoyed learning how to do a lot of new things. And I've not enjoyed repairing a lot of new things I learned about. Double edged sword it is.
That humidity is really low.
I got another flower room to set up that's the same size just didn't have the budget to get another AC this summer, waiting another month or so for temps to drop so can air cool that room.Good god man that's no garden that's a small jungle!If a 36k mini is cooling your room nicely with 6k watts of de HPS burning I feel confident a 24k mini will allow me to run co2 in the summer and keep temps under control. That's a high times centerfold production facility you've got going there man. While co2 would be sweet I'm sure you're producing stellar results without it. I hit $552 for last month's electric bill due to a heat wave we had. I feel for you knowing what your bill was. It's all relative to output though. The pendulum swings hard the other way too
It is expensive for what it actually is. At the same time, compared to similar products (with added sensors/modules), it not too bad and does a bit more. There's also A hydro-x pro.
Some people don't have access to NG, or Bottled co2, etc. Also, burners add heat and water vapor in considerable amounts.Out of curiosity why don't you install a co2 burner instead of hauling tanks? I'm adding one in 9 weeks after my next harvest. $300-$400 for a nice quality 4-6 burner unit along with a quality PPM controller ($200-300), because I can't imagine hauling tanks back and forth to the store constantly. That's horribly inconvenient, and the cost for a burner isn't much more than the initial cost of buying a co2 tank. Every grower's situation and grow room needs are different, but hauling tanks is not viable for me. Who has time for that? Installing a Tee on your natural gas line is incredibly easy. Run your flexible hose that comes with the co2 burner from the Tee. Add your controller and you're jamming. Hell many units even run on propane if you aren't mechanically inclined and prefer not to monkey with gas line. Super duper easy. I watched a guy hauling a co2 tank one day on one of my rare visits to a local hydro store for an item I could not wait on to be delivered, and he was doing his very best to pretend it wasn't an absolute bitch. You could see the truth allover his face though. I'm too old for that noise man
Hey can I ask you a question!? I'm in a bipolar state weather wise. But its typically 90-100⁰F outside. I live in a big log cabin. So it doesnt keep the heat out well. With my LEDs & CFLs it gets to be 87⁰-88⁰ F in my tent. Rh is usually around 40% anyways! I have constant air circulation. So theres always fresh air in there. Can my plants withstand these temps? I understand 87⁰ is just the air temp. Idk. I took my CFLs out because they caused the temp to go from 81-87. Now I'm just running 220W (<--true wattage from wall) LED. And shes doing great. I just want my CFLs back in there. But if the temps are gonna hurt her at 87⁰ then I'm just gonna have to deal without them unless I can find something telling me it's okay lol
18,000 BTU's on the 8 burner... and 140 pints per day on the dehuyes. The DH's are set to come on at 50% RH, and the Evaporator Cooler is hooked up to the Spartan Controller to kick in at 40%. It's kinda cool to watch all this shit come on and off automatically. All I have to do is make sure there is water in the Evap Cooler.
It is not that much water.
Yeah.. it's pretty insignificant. As is the amount of propane this thing uses. Very little. It's like 8 little pilot lights that burn for 4 and a half minutes every hour and a half or so....depends on how often I go in and out of the room.
Your 40% humidity is working in your favor... As long as there's enough airflow and water for the roots you should be fine even if you hit the low 90's for a couple hours...
I'm only using the CFLs until I get my Morsen 3000W. Its actual wattage is 500ish
Everyone has access to propane. There are many propane co2 burners available on the market. All sorts of ways to skin that cat. I currently am running 2000 watts of HPS and 1110 watts of LED for a combined total of 3110 watts in my flower room in the middle of a summer heat wave. It gets very hot. I can't even run both LED's and my HID's at full power due to the heat presently. I still have a co2 burner to add. A 24k mini split is appropriate. I'm trying to achieve maximum output from my flower room, and I can't do that if I'm frying my plants with heat.
