That page you sent me had a link to a box that would cut power to its controlled outlet if RH is too high. That might be what I need, I'll look into it further.

To respond to your questions about HVAC: it may not have been mentioned much in this thread, but I run water cooled on a flip schedule. Water cooling allows for more dehuey, but since the technology isn't as mature in this industry as AC is, we're kinda on our own. I started with a bunch of...

Killenemsoftly, the only thing I love to cultivate more than cannabis are open minds. I'd never leave you high n dry if I had the knowledge, but you knew that already. The plasterers' technique sounds great, and should work well with the porous nature of the vertical trellis. I'm aiming a big...

Let me help clear up your confusion. If you think I let my clients act as my guinea pigs when testing new designs, equipment, techniques or environmental conditions, then you're completely, utterly mistaken. I take it upon myself to take the risks, try the new ideas, push the environmental...

Yup. No client got anyone near that. It's MY job to induce error by pushing the limits.

Round trellis for the WIN! I found it easier to work with and the shape helps hold bendy fencing square and in shape better. No idea who that guy was. That was his first post in the vert section, one can only hope they get better from here. I'm not going to knock Cap's wall o' dank, because...

Thanks for the good words about Chimera Seeds. While it's important to know who the scammers are in an industry, it's equally or even more important to give props where they're due.

Yes, I stack my thouies, because I see no reason to give the lower half of the plants short shrift. I've never seen an MH make more or better quality product. I've never seen or used a CDM type bulb, so I can't speak to them. If you want to use radius for calculating your circumference, you...

Killenem, you are living up to your nickname, in the most unintentional of ways; I'm on a glorified cellphone so being able to respond to do many detailed questions all at once is hard with this interface. Give me some time to work through what you've written here, lol

Funny, I've never had that conversation with them. What do you tell them? ;)

I'm still going in and training them every day, spending maybe 10 minutes or less daily, pushing growing tips through the trellis to the bright side. As the three week mark approaches, I really want to take a lot of the larfy stuff off the outside to let the plant concentrate its energy on...

I've built my silo system on the premise of aiming the plant inward at the light and treating 'outside' exactly like 'down'; don't light it, and trim off anything growing there. It's very productive this way, and easy to manage. Consistent results are easier as well.

Here's my issue with this; the heart of the silo concept is the strict maintenance of the bulb to trellis distance, which forces the cylindrical shape based on the inverse square law. Squaring it off will reduce efficiency. I'll admit I don't know by how much. My goal is to build a modular...

Imma gonna keep posting until I answer all your questions, lol It might take awhile! First, I went vertical in large part to eliminate that layer of glass between bulb and plant. I'm so happy with my choice that I suggest using cool tubes as a very last option, only if forced. Every layer of...

The way I run my Super Silo is with four of my 25 ft² trellis, totalling 100 ft². It's a smidgen over 5' in diameter, with two thouies lighting it. The light to square footage remains the same, it's just twice as many lights covering twice as many trellis panels, lol. The advantage is this; in...

LOL The only thing that won't fit into your scenario is anyone to work the plants once they're all crammed in there! My tubs are 15" tall and my trellis is 6.25' x 4' = 25 ft², so I figured three of those per silo times four silos = 300 ft². And it would still be impossibly tight!

I like the trees approach for the consistency but not everyone has space or patience for it. Your bedroom could be a monster with some of the trellis designs I've been cooking up lately; for instance, I'll bet I could use my modular system to create as much as 300 ft² of trellis, using 5400 to...

My first horizontal light rotator run was am inadvertent checkerboard. It worked really well... at least for the watts spent. Yield per square foot wasn't very impressive.

You're not jackin' my thread, homie. Anyone I can convert to the gospel of dry nutes is well worth the time invested. I may not be the man to talk to about your specific situation, however. What I did NOT want to do at the time was get in over my head with a million and one nutrient ratios...

I am. I have a degree in business administration and several entrepreneurial start-ups I'm still paying for... which makes me an 'expert'. If Ralph Nader was, I can be too! Rolled down to Colorado Springs the other day, picked up some dry nutes for an average of a dollar fitty... a pound...
