well got the secret experiment all set up and ready

and to see if you can guess here is your first clue (pic)

it is a digital thermostat (you can get em at wal-mart for like $24) hooked to a 12 volt 10 amp relay and that is wired to a 12 volt pwr supply,,,,,so basically this is a switch that is controlled by temperature and can turn on a 10 amp device

any guesses???

hhmmm goona be turning something on/off when its get to hot/cold...
a heater when its to cold? a fan when its to warm?
trying to keep room under a certain temp, or above a certain temp..
or possibly to dial in the co2/RH/temps..

80 views since I posted the clue and only 3 guesses???

Temp controlled switch for an infrared light/heat source?

we have a winner some one is remembering my ramblings from a few weeks ago

yes I have been researching the effects of far infrared light/heat

this is a presto heat dish, actually had this thing for years when I bought it they were $49, they are now $89 it is the best space heater I have ever used, had to rewire a few things for the experiment so the thermostat could control it and so I could tip it (aim) a bit

will share the research soon

Best I could guess is you fluctuate tempature, or maybe at wind. From what I seen you are trying to emulate everything exactly how it would be in the environment it grows naturally in, so I would guess you are adding wind or making a tempature thing that starts of cold in the "Morning" and gets hotter in the "afternoon" then cools down.

To move the CO2 up to the plants. Comes on when the temp drops after light out and then they turn of when the lights come on and it warms up again.

I am more closely trying to emulate the sun

welcome Desert, I have let it out so you can discuss it

My new grow starts in 2-3 Weeks, I am going to add these to it also; Mainly because its going to start to get colder soon and I might need them for heat.

I was wondering what I kept smelling.....

Dammit, I was too busy today to guess on this. PC fans for CO2 was my first thought. I remember the Infrared you mentioned, and saw it on Slealthy's cabinet too so I got a 100W bulb getting ready for this. So in other words, I have my 3 CMH bulbs coming, and my 100W Infrared Bulb, Pro-teKt & I'm itching to see what you got coming. Teach away. :mrgreen:

woot riddleme grow!!!!!! bet ur ass im not getting out of this chair till its all said and done and then i might just keep sitting here for the next one lol. Learn me sum noledge ridde

riddleme · Jul 15, 2010

you guys are too silly, never thought a grow of mine would be a woot LOL

riddleme · Jul 15, 2010

Ok one is being a runt but is comming and the first one is prolly a male (cause it is going so fast, my luck)

anyway I want you to just look at how short the first one is because I'm getting 1st serated leaves with less than an inch of stem with the light 4 feet away,,,,,,,

GOT CMH?

I think the pic is worth more than a thousand words :hump:

riddleme · Jul 15, 2010

and the delay is totally my fault as my cheap ass did not buy the heat mat temp controller (only $33) when I first plugged it in the temp went up to 95F so to control it I used a timer and kept changing it's on/off times to get a steady 80F, I think this added a day to my sprouting time,,,,,so live and learn, will be buying the controller next time I go to the nursery
