I am by trade a pest managnement specialist mold is considered a pest, ill be using a few methods including massvie amounts of air movement to reduce and mold transmission. The macs internode spacing should be perfect. And i am familar with this strian but this cuts origin is different and is new to me
Where do you do put your fans in order to avoid windburn but get enough air movement to get to all nooks and crannies of such a dense cannopy?

Edit: posted at the same time ;)

Above the canope below the lights and below the canope-> pancake fans on the walls under the canopy.

I also have a 10 in fan and filter constantly circulating air at all times between the lights...i could hook this up to a wind sock to put on the wall above the cubes and around the room edges, ill have a bit to play around before the room flipps

Root bound plants..dude you know its a myth...

A root bound plant is a neglected plant. Ive keept a mom for 1.5years in a 2 gallon smart pot

Doesnt happen in grodan cubes
I used to think rootbound was a myth to until i kept trying to flower plants in 7's that required 10's at least.
Leaves started going yellow & it was hard to keep in hood health. After flower, upon dumping potts, i saw roots ontop of roots. No media, no nothing but roots.
The enhanced leds cause serious root growth. The added red 660 like doubles my root output in comparison to my hps.
I have never used the cubes, only heard about not having root problems in them do to constant watering. So i believed you but think you're deffinetly pushing the limits of those cubes. Ive seen roots 1/2 thick around on some of my plants. I just see a cube blowing apart & roots taking over the table, growing up to your bedroom & choking u out in ur sleep.
Just b careful!!! Lol!

Or_Gro backed up his claims. I trust whatever he says.

This guy is fitting 100 6-inch square pots in a 5x4 space. He's growing in extra spacial dimensions while we're still in 2D land. Should win the nobel prize. Imagine scaling that to growing food. Or maybe he's just full of shit.

So basically above and below the biomass most prone to mold / mildew?
I have a unique issue in my enviroment that it has low humidty, so as long as im controlling the microzones im not to worried.

A zone underneath the cubes for active drainage will be needed
Im more worried about mounting an A/C in the room to keep humidty in check. I have a simple environmental control unit..it was cheap and it works ok.

Probably just bad math.
Can fit 80x 6inch pots in a 5x4

What's you're environmental control panel or system if you don't mind my asking ?
I'm still in all separate devices that do not tie together & go to one control unit. So im manually setting everything based on timers. Or myself doing it. PITA.
It sounds like you jave been running this method for sometime. Why is it now you need to make changes?
Like you had no DTW for example. Few other things you mentioned that one would think was already dialed based on your experience using this method.
Did i miss something?

Not very unique. The ambient RH% rarely goes above 25% where I am in southern colorado. I run swamp coolers to raise humidity until the plants have produced enough biomass to keep the RH% up above 40% on it's own. Then a few weeks later I am struggling to keep the RH% below 50% with massive amounts of dehumidification and venting in dry air as much as the ambient temperature allows. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Triton it has simple controls but i do not believe it communicates other then control power to individual device's.

Currently i don't do drain to waste, ill have to change that to set up my drip tape.

Ill have to add active dehumidifiers and heat/cooling as well as raise my lights 6in and remove the glass on them. And set up a drain in the floor. Ill also have to set up ancors in various spots for trellis and probably an air sock that extends around the rooms edge but idk about that ill test air flow.

Its always low, sometimes 35%

Small room but lots of transpiration will be happening.Ill have flora flex tops but I wont have co2 but my ambient Co2 is 800-900 because of where i live. I can set my enviromental controls to lock my RH/High Temp trigger so if RH goes up it will exhaust and a heater will heat(into the cieling to mix with the 10in/filter) lowering density of water in air and lowering RH. Night time RH is high at 55 for my swing

How did Or_Gro do on his TechNaFlora Nutrient run, do you know? I just gotta know man.

All sides (qb96+uv+reds/qb288+uv+reds/prawnboard) did really well but prawn board won on faster and better looking finish, yield was similar at around 1200g/4x4 - 4 plants, around 1600g within trimm and small nuggs.

>unless it was sarcasm .in wich case ..cool....its called winter indoors canada,,

ok just do 100 per 4' x 4'..no pressure..just don't fizzle out the posting svp

right lack of evidence it not wait for it...…..PROOF THAT IT CAN BE DONE
Oh boy, thats not how that logical fallacy works but its cute that you tried. Ill show as i grow, yall can cry all you want. I provided as much proof as can be expected. Plants with time frames and sizes that show i can do what I say. And as far as yields yall will change the goal post the second you feel insecure about your position.

Yall got nothing.

Stay tuned young one.
