looks good cruel, you not a fan of the led's cruel? lol how many watts are each of those bulbs??? and what size t5? t8?

I'm always trying new things, and have have a couple different lighting setups. 600W HPS, CFLs, T8s, and LEDs. I primarily use my LEDS for vegging and cloning.

The bulbs are T8s, and are 32 Watts each. The Hood/Balast is from Home Depot & holds 6 bulbs, so 192 Watts per hood.

yup there you go, so almost 400W, you run a ac? i hear and see lots of people flowering with floros and they look good but watt per watt i wonder? i know in my canopy i need a hps for penetration i gotta pack then in like a homo in prison. you got some mad money in grow lights huh? lol

Yeah, I've got money invested in lights

People say marijuana is addicting..... WRONG. Growing marijuana is. Such a beautiful plant.

Yeap almost 400 watts, and I can easily put 3-4 plants in my tent under them. I do run AC buts is only on a couple hours a day. The floros don't generate that much heat, so I dont need my AC all the time. I'm just a small time, "Smoke whatcha Grow" person. If I upped my plant count I'd defiantly go HPS.

well i just finished curing my last run. 3 week cure time. packaged up and ready for the dispencery, o shit we dont got one! o well off to the schools for all the kids to enjoy

yeah my ac barely gos on as well with my hps becouse out side temps are low as hell. now my humidity is up cuz ac not on so i gotta make space for the dehumidifier,i gave up the space for more plants. i might have to built a shelf for it up high in the room

ya hawaiian, make one shelf. the more plants da better!

i put the dehumidifier in the room and its only droping the humidity to about 55-60% its driving me crazy, i gotta get the co2 running because the exhaust fan dumps the air in the room too fast for the humidity to drop. the out side air is 80-85% RH right now.

Do you have another meter you can check it with?...Sometimes those things go screwy.

and say hello to Powdery mildew! KKday, if you're running a Dehumidifier you should be able to drop all the way. Are you running passive outtake or what? Using CO2 is gonna riase your room temps too. To get maximum use from CO2 rooms need to between 80 & 86 degrees. What size are your rooms? You might be running your room to hot because of light setup? How many watts in a what size room? You know, the Dutch & British use 400 watt or 600 watt setup just fine. In Europe, they have no need for 1000 watt light setups...which is really overkill in my opinion. Also if you are up in the Heights you 're gonna have all kinds of problems with your ambient heat & humidity. Remember what I said, big time indoor growers on the mainland take the summer off so they don't have to deal wit hte exact problems you now face!

KK,
Here is your extortion money...lol..Just print it out....make sure to enable your double sided print function before you hit the print button.

My room size is about 3X7 with a 8" ceiling. TEMPS are not a problem at all i can run my light at 1000w and keep the temps under 70 if i want(light is at 750w as of now). just to clear that up. humidity is the problem and im not saying hello to nothing but fat dense cock shaped colas. the humidity out side of the flower room is about 75-80 now with temp at 73-76. this is out side now, not room temps and RH. in the room its 73-73 and 55-60% RH with the dehumidifier. i have a passive air intake so theres negative pressure in the room. my exhaust fan is dumping the dry air from the dehumidifier and drawing fresh, moist as hell air into the room which balances the RH in the room to 60%. if i stop all in-take and exhaust then humidity drops and i can get it at 30% but now i need fresh air or the plants will eat up that carbon dioxide in the rooms air. thats why im going to supplement with co2. sound about right???? growing in the summer is best where i am. the humidity is lower. and the hotest day that my temp/RH recorder that i have in my living room recorded was 80.5F and thats summer


i have 2 meters in the room both read about the same

EXTORTION??? IM SIMPLY OFFERING PROTECTION!!! plus its $20 bills only, no change remember

KKDay, Just run the a/c and stop the vetilation.......set your a/c to bring in fresh air but not exhaust the inside air....will be hard to deplete the co2 levels to anything substantial with good air movement......run your dehumid only at night when the plants dump moisture.......just some random thoughts........those heli pics are 3-5 years ago?

I run 2 x 1000w -12,000 btu a/c-day temps and r/h constant 72F-45%....night time 69F 55%....steady.....

I'd think it depends on how my cfm's the fans are that you're running. If the dry ice can't replenish the air fast enough, I'd think it'd be very diluted CO2...

And yes, I've thought a lot about this-- still do. Give it a shot, Cooter! Would love to know your results.

I run (4) T-12's 6500K indoors and I flower 100% outdoors so I don’t really need to (yet) If I get a wild hair and purchase a fancy light (which I have no plans to do) I’ll most defiantly try to make a Dry Ice Box, I’m pretty sure it could be done with ease, but whether it will amount to any positive results will remain a mystery.

I've heard dry ice does help, but is just not the most efficient. Certainly doable, from what I've been told.
