great work bcf, super fukin clean!
Nice room you've put together there BCfarmer; nice to see others blowing it up here north of the border. 1 question, 2 comments:
Question: Are you able to maintain RH levels in the 60's with the addition of your in-duct humdifier? What is your RH without using it? We run 3 x 5 ton AC and have to use a very large commercial humidification system. I would much prefer to run a set it and forget it in duct humidifier, but I did not think they would work with an A/C (only with heating ducts.)
Comments: 1. If you are doing a scrog with those 25 plants I would recommend topping them early. They appeared fairly tall and narrow when I saw a pic from a few weeks back.
2. For an 5 ton A/C to run properly you need to use 16" ducting for the supply and 18" or larger for the return, 14" is still going to cause you problems
Truly a piece of art you fella's have created here... Talk about PASSION for what you do!! I just remembered reading about you wanting to put a hammock in there.. best idea ever! I'd be in there taking BT's in my hammock admiring all of the beautiful ladies :)
A few questions for you guys..I like the fabric you went with a lot and i'm curious as to where you sourced it from? Also, while i was reading through your thread I was looking to see what your plan was for watering? All hand watering? Or are you going to implement some sort of automated system in the future? Perpetual or no?
I'm currently in the planning stages of a project and i'm planning to doing something very similar to your set up. I was planning on doing 4x8 beds like JackMayOffer's beds ( only w/wheels like your's) but these troughs have me re-thinking now... The plan is to be perpetual... I was going to build the beds and have them basically be plug and play as far as irrigation and drainage is concerned from the veg room to the bloom room if that makes sense.. basically plant them from cuttings into their beds in the veg room with an irrigation and drain/run-off collection system connected...veg them out for X amount of days and then when it's time for them to be flipped just simply remove the dripper lines from the irrigation system and roll them over to the bloom room park the bed so it drains into your run-off collection, and connect the awaiting drip lines and your'e good to go!
Anyways... sorry for rambling it's late im ripped and stumbled on this thread and got all kinds of excited to see like minds creating awesome rooms! Sub'd and looking forward to the show!:D
On the subject of the humidifier: The design I chose to use is for a heating system, not cooling. I figured it couldn't hurt though and for the price we paid for it, we can use the parts to modify it so it does work.
I'm thinking we can install misters operated by the humidistat and solenoid to moisten the element rather than the drippers. And if that doesn't work I'm thinking misters mounted around the room like a greenhouse will do the trick. Anybody ever used these? Like the ones that spray your arm when you reach for the produce?
Can I pick some brains, please?
I need to order some kind of humidification system ASAP, but can't decide on the details.
I'm leaning toward a 1000PSI misting system with 4-6 misting heads.
The problem is, all the mfrs sell their products with very little info.
What I would like to know is:
What size pump (GPM/PSI), how many nozzles, what size orifice, where to mount them, or any other useful suggestions...
Roughly 5,500cu.ft. room. (3,300cu.ft. of that is garden.)
