what is DIY? thnks for your input
Nice!!
what do you mean raise thermos up? like heat? how do you raise your heat? also i noticed when its 78-80deg my humidity is always at 40%. what do you use with leds besides to raise heat?
Ok 40%hum bloom ok 50 % optimum. 65-75% optimum in veg but my room almost always stays close to 50% hum day night all the time and things are great . To adjust ur grow room thermostat (heat) when using LEDs I need to know what type of system ur using like passive airflow active intake and exhaust , completely sealed ect . The system I'm trying set up presently will be a stacked bucket stash system using a 135 led ufo with actual watts of around 80ish and a quick calculation for ur led watts is around 25 actual watts per square ft (remember these numbers will only get u an est. of the amount of actual wattage ,type of led lighting , and diode size to use. The best diode producing the most effiently is the 3watt diode. Times the number of diodes falling inside 400 and 700 nm in ur light or total garden by 1.7 of actual wattage power draw off the 3watt led diodes then that will get u ur actual watts and from that u allotte 25 watts per square ft of garden space. FYI the three watt diode even only pushing 1.7 watts will penetrate up to 5 ft inside canopy which is what indoor growth requires. So in my passive system I sit a 6 in inline fan on a thermo controlled variable auto fan speed controller that doesn't cycle off on but slows down or speeds up based on the environment I'm trying to create. So if my setup needs more heat then fan will slow down to allow that build up. I don't allow for even a 5 degree shift in temp between day/night. Adjusting the ambient Air For the room my containers are in also makes it easier to keep temps where I want. My advice is controllers thermo/hydrostats all linked into a master environmental controller will almost take all human error away. Also if u have a nice big room running a co2 gene will add heat as a by product so that is a couple ideas besides running a heater which pulls a lot of watts and amps. Lastly I'm in a state that is not legal so I have to have as lil ft print as possible and so what I'm doing to beat my smart meter (hate those things ) (put in over 80 million homes across the us already will get u busted ) I run 4 bucket stash systems with two bucket lids modified for the ufo led and a fan and 2 with just fans and guys I'm running those lights 24/7 at my flip time my wife and I switch the lids on the 2 buckets and now we are doubling our yeild off two LEDs total garden watts close to 500 drawing about 5 ish amps and there is no power spikes from traditional flip boxes and the fans don't cycle off on either. I hope I'm helping u guys I got to run I can post more details later
