    humidity spikes in grow tent

    Ok so we know what is happening just not why. If the ac has temp setting and the calibration is off it may think work is done and shuts off. If it is a off low med hi setting prolly a cycling clutch tube type ac system and this is what ya got.

    Humidifier/Echaust question

    Look at the specs on the sensors on your temp and humidity. Look at the +- specification. Now realize that your temp could be 1.3 degrees high or low. Humidity is better but still can be .75% off. Now look at the vdp chart and see what a mess it is. Having said that if you target the middle...

    Jimski's Grow Journal

    Update This grow journal is now closed. The final plant is unable to shake whatever nutritional overload did to the chemical structure factory in the plant. The plant has returned to a slowly rising ph with slowly falling EC and dringing about 12 oz in 24 hours not 64oz like it was. It looks...

    Humidifier/Echaust question

    Hopefully the new Infinity AI system will have a subroutine where it tells a grower: "I can't let you do that Dave"

    Humidifier/Echaust question

    As long as the capacity of the fan is = to or greater than the humidity load from your plants. A cannabis plant in deep flower can consume a gallon of water a day or more. Some is used in production of the plant but most is transpired into the air. I was told by a grower who did production...

    The fishing thread ( not about fish fertilizer)

    Grew up on the Maumee River in Toledo. Waterfowl on fall and walleye in spring. Summertime was perch in Maumee bay. Day after a noreaster head to the manmade island for giant mudfish like suckers and huge carp. They feed on the dead baitfish from the storms. Now I live in sw ohio and I have a...

    humidity spikes in grow tent

    Question When this happens do you hear any change in compressor noise? A few things come to mind but they are very model specific depending on what type. Some ac units clear the coils of moisture by reversing flow. Some open the suction valve to superheat low side to stop icing up air coils...

    Finally, an effective and SAFE grow tent heater

    Both units ( heatbox and 15L humidifier ) installed and running in auto mode. Using the vivosun app to monitor. Temp is about the same as the inkbird controller and heat lamps But I am flat out amazed at the stability of the humidifier. I can turn my duct fan on 7 the tent sides suck in a small...

    Happy day! It looks like the plant was damaged by the lockout. Went from 700 ppm down to 200 over a 2 week period and been watching ph every 4 hours. Leaves are better they just get larger before damage. Will leave alone today after thining it down another 120 ppm. Already have the data...

    I am running 2 vivosun 150w with selectible spectrum. There was nothing really close to the seedling spectrum "map" in the app and I had 2 seedlings just out of the hydroton. The par app said I was at 170. in the middle and an outer ring the size of the netpot was 160. The bigger seedling was...

    Random Jabber Jibber thread

    Jokes to scar your soul with. I will start. This is a great joke because, like any great joke, it takes an unexpected turn at the end that results in a spontainous laugh and then a strange look on the persons face as they actually think about what they laughed at. Guy goes back to the bar he...

    RDWC Question

    Which we would add is in the running condition not off or static. You may need to balance your pump volume as too high a pump volume runs the first bucket level higher than the following buckets. Unless you have 3 inch pipes.......

    Careful with the light readings. Another data point I had that did not work as I expected. Like a lot of new growers I got the Ut 383bt and used the par tool app. Par was way off due to having to choose a spectrum in the app. Nothing was really close but I picked the closest. App reading way...

    Humidifier/Echaust question

    For my situation ( cold basement ) I pick one enviromental point I can control well and base setup from there. Had a problem with a humidifier tracking poorly, RH was up and down 5-6% but temp was easy I could get that within .3 f so by playing with the humidifier I got a nice 1.5% up and down...

    Well long term I was planning to have mothers but thats down the road. I am going to move my grow into a bedroom in the basement and install a double door and outside duct work for positive pressure. With all the pathogens in fields and gardens close by I think I have no choice even for a small...

    Agreed. The biggest adjustment I have made is that the data can only take you so far. Every mistake I made the data I collected showed WHAT HAPPENED after the fact. It did not help me during the issue because I do not have the experiance to judge plant condition. I based my entire operation on...

    I am taking this route. Killed 2 seedlings and tried my best to kill this last plant on my first grow. Water issue should have gotten a test. Tried to let the seedling catch up so slow rolled nutes turned yellow. Then sick plant got bean blight from a field down the road. I stopped the pathogen...
