Upgrading LED Lights

@ttystikk Why would a portable ac spike rh 10-20%? I tried reaching manufacture about if its normal for condensate to gush out periodically but no answer yet. I read the ac tries to evaporate the condensate where the hot part of refrigerant sits at and exausts outside to keep cool. I suspected that might have something to do with.

Or when I turn it on after a week of no use it seems like the built in temp guage needs to warm up before getting dialed in. Also that it spikes rh 10-20% the latter when used after a while of ac not being turned on, like a few days to a week. I have no idea and AI cant help it doesnt even know what Im saying. Tried reading whatever it linked and pulled up.

Remember that it's called RELATIVE humidity. Relative to what? Hint: not your uncle Ernie's armpits LOL

The percentage of relative humidity is how much moisture is in the air relative to maximum capacity at that temperature. Warm air holds more moisture than cold air.

When your AC unit kicks on, the temperature falls and therefore RH rises, simple as that.

Wow I stand corrected. I just dont get why I dont have that with just cold air coming in from outside if its cool enough. Its still 80F when I notice the spike in rh.

Because you're exchanging air when you open the window, not just cooling what's already there.

Ok that helped make sense. Thanks for explaining.

Its actually working ok like I said its just when I start it for 48hrs after being un used for a week or longer. My rh range is a little higher than normal but its all good. That was just puzzling me that it was so high so fast.

I was thinking the same thing last night. I have a 60in by 32in and currently have a couple of QB96's and a small viparspectra and a rapid LED puck. Most of these are over 5 years old. I was looking at using 3 x Viparspectra XS1500 pro with the upgraded lens. in my tent. Three in line would make a continuous strip right across the full width of the tent. Or they would also work with the long side on the width of the tent.

This light is bad ass, I recently ran a Georgia Pie cookies cut under it, same size tent etc. I've also ran an ACi Evo 4 inside my 2x2, but I will stick with this viparspectra xs 1500 pro. Amazing light for the size/price.

It somehow never passed 46rh in tent next to dehuey with hygro meter on top reading 50rh at some point. The leafs had gutation on it at like idk 45-50rh in early flower which made me nervous. Even with fans.

The time I grew fat buds that molded had no fans whatsoever for circulation just exaust. I could chop at week 8 full or push it and see what happens but idk whats the use of that. If its good enough Id jump on that as it could be a 9-10 weeker next run.

Its mostly orange hairs thats a window but too early for many but I just smash it all to rosin. When it molded it was 45-55rh. Most people cant keep a rh of 35 or less. So Im on the fence. I chopped at 8 wks before it was great Im dabbing it right now its some of my best performance of this pheno.

Getting rid of gnats/aphids must of helped and maybe the 9/15 schedule. I was told the box fans would make better use of the rh of air going through the tent. It might not be as done as the great clone I mentioned or maybe. 8.5 to 9 weeks for sure thats what Im ramblin about. The budrot jitters. No pm so theres that. The focus is on budrot now.

If I make it Il say maybe 45rh is the line but with box fans for me and for it to spend most of its time below that at like 37-40rh. Keep them buds dehydrated. What else caused it to budrot last time? Idk..

Oh its possible actually if google is right. The ai can be outright wrong often though as I learned recently. I wasnt really using it like that. Just recently. Im gonna call frigidaire and ask them. My fam is just as curious as me.

If it accepted multi voltage, I would think it would have something on the nameplate of the unit under "input voltage" being 120v AC and 240v AC

If you had a cord that plugged into that, people would call it a "suicide cord" and It is very dangerous.

I ended up getting four, and now I'm getting more light in my open sided tent using 400W than I was previously using 550W, and given the right genetics they definitely do the job.

Veg tent over grown only got like 4 days left before its a problem. Willing to sacrifice 100% red hairs to keep these good and delay cuts 2 wks so I dont have to go through this again. My call I made it.

Besides, I be watching youtube vids of growers like yea people go by red hairs I go by trichs. So they will say its peak when it was like idk 60% red hairs but they chopped. I couldnt really tell when they showed dry results its hard to see it. Im well past that at like 90% red hairs.

So itll shrivel up to some nice buds with some whites that will turn light red and may not even notice. Only to press it to flower rosin. Sooo grabin my sheers. Should do it while its weekend. That extra week will make next run harder with rh and packedness and yall see I cant feed it very dry rh of 36-44% latest average.

Ahh let it grow.. I did it again. I chopped some of it and was like no its just not done. It really needs that week which happened before, it really swelled up and wasnt doubting it then. It needed that 9week just like this. One more week.

Prune and defol pretty much to get next run in shape, whatever it takes. Its not easy the first few runs, hell its just like my first lineup before mold broke it up. First run great second run hell third one is on point. Only difference was this winter had my clones take longer to flip by a week or two. So my second run wasnt that bad.

I actually flipped a bit late but they simply werent very big to flip that second run so a good week. That was nice. I want to upgrade my last upgrade, BAB box fan above bar light my veg tent because its just sketchy atm. Probably good because I never had pm downstairs.

Aside from gnats/aphids causing my second run to be delayed more than likely and third run molded. The bugs delayed or you just really need to plan for 10 wks which is what Im trying to do. My first run way back was perfect no bugs all red hairs 10 weeks. Then I started having 8 week and 9 week plants even with bugs.

Im sure the extra week will really make difference. I have tendency to try and test things even if I have oportunity to make it easier on me. So I should just use my empty tent to possibly give them 10 weeks hopefully just 9 and use a empty tent to dry. Then flip 4 clones while I dry vs trying to dry in same tent. Theyll be so large though ugh this part of perpetual sucks.

I just like to test things like lets see how harvesting is like pretending all tents full. As well as enviormental.
