Hey Smokey. What temperatures are you referring to? I will test whatever I can!

I think he is talking about the temperature and relative humidity in the room when everything is on and running.

I haven't got the foggers tested yet, but it should be pretty much whatever I want it to be (within reason). I can get the UC water temp down to 55 degrees while the room is @ 82 degrees. I'm assuming I'll be able to get the RH where I want it to unless the single dehuey isn't enough or balancing between the humidifiers and the dehuey is difficult. I'll post up as soon as I finish testing that. I hope to have that done by Wednesday of this week.

Hey ken, nice work on the ozone. I'm thinking that should be in my future! :D

Thanks, it took a little bit of doing, but I finally was able to control the off-gassing, and make the reaction chamber more efficient.

I appreciate the help in the motivation.:)

How was this tested? I'm wondering what your water temperatures will be after all equipment is running.
Pumps make heat, lights and everything else. The lights can warm up the buckets in return warming up the water in the reservoir.
I'm not doubting you. I want to see you knock it out of the park. Don't want to see you have any issues with temps if you can avoid it now.

The chiller is 1/2 hp and has a controller included. I just set it for 55 and burned the lights in for 2 days. The mini split was set for 82 and the Agrowtek controller also monitors, but does not control the water temperature. I could probably get the water down to 50. The chiller is outside the room so it doesn't add heat. Of course the dehumidifier will add heat to the room, but the mini is sized large enough to accommodate that heat load as well. The lights are only 700 BTUs which is only 11,200 BTUs and well below what the mini split is rated for.

Thanks Don. I've been mostly inclined to go with 8, but I wanted to get others to weigh in.

Whatever you can fit inside your space. I would experiment a little bit.
Start with 8 then see how it goes. If you end up thinking (I could have fit more). Then next round, up your cola count to 16.

The more room for the plants to fill out. The more cola's you will have room for.

Exactly this. You can always add more but it is a pure bitch and could ruin a crop if you get too crowded. Bud rot is a nasty kick in the sack after all that hard work.

Here's a pic of the seedlings inside / outside their little dome and with / without the weird blue LED effect!

Transplanted the girls into the mini dwc last night. All of them made it except one. I knocked over the net pots and lost one. I'm so pissed at myself. :(

Anyway I have about 4 or 5 more seeds germinating to make sure I have 9 strong seedlings to run. They are under the humidity dome and hopefully won't be too far behind the others.

The room is at 78 degrees ambient. Humidity is between 60% and 80%. I only have one fogger hooked up and it's not enough to get the room to 70% steady so I'll have to get the other one running today. I checked the surface temp with the laser thermometer and the seedlings are at 74 degrees. Once the humidity is fixed I'll bump the temperature up to about 80 degrees.

I only have a few lights on and the PPFD at the canopy is 325 μmoles. I plan on bumping the light up by Sunday to around 500 μmoles. The dwc has Veg & Bloom nutes added at 1/4 the recommendation. TDS is at 200 PPM which is slightly higher than expected. I was targeting 150.

The CO2 reading is at 2000 PPM which is very weird. It jumped when I turned on the big lights, but it always seemed to go up and down as moved in and out of the room before. I thought that with all 4 fans on it would drop, but it hasn't yet. I guess I'll check the connections for leaks.

Here's where the explosion begins.

I know you said you're going to run Ace's entire catalog, did you buy a pack(s) of each strain or are you purchasing the next after you're satisfied with each runs selection? Just curious
