I believe i paid 1700 for my unit. Its the quest 105 dual@G gnome How much do the Quest units run for like the 200ish L?
Yeah that is something I want to know about. Spill the beans
Alright, I'll preface this with the fact that I am not very tech-savvy, but I'll give ya the jist.
So the general idea will be based around something like this:http://www.raspiviv.com
If you look around the site it's clear that the system here is designed for something aquarium size but we'll use some of the the concepts and scale them up. Case in point:http://www.raspiviv.com/raspberry-pi-vivarium-controller/sensors except with this (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1293) sensor instead, something that I can hang down in the middle of the room.
Now that'll be relayed to this: http://www.raspiviv.com/raspberry-pi-vivarium-controller/relays and it'll fire on the dehuey whenever the rh rises above a set point.
Hell yea, I'd like to eventually set something up with a tensiometer to run my drippers.Sweet thanks for the links! Been wanting to wire one of these up for a cycle stat timer for a drip system.
VPD dictates cool and dry or warm and moist air.Quite honestly, I consider 50% humidity to be on the low end of a proper Environment... I would shoot for 60 to 65% RH...and temps between 74-78 F.
That said, if you are having issues with PM, I might change my tune... And I also might get a HEPA air filter and scrub my air.
I do all these too, except no float valves. Plants will frost up hard at 35% rh but that means much cooler air to keep a healthy vpdStrange, for some reason i wasn't getting notifications to replies for this thread??
So i'm 4 weeks into flower and ended up buying a 70 pint dehuey, to coincide with my 30 pint one. I have both units set on top of two seperate HDX 27 gallon storage containers, i rigged both containers with float valves. Pretty awesome how quick the 27 gallon will fill up, plus the ppm of the water being pulled out of the air is like at 40 ppm! I re-use the water for future res changes. If the 27 gallons is full it shuts the float valve off, which causes the internal resevoir built in the dehuey to fill up. Once that is full it shuts the unit off, which is a downfall. I'm going to rig the dehuey to fill a 200 gallon res i have, giving me more days to not stress if the 27 gallons have filled to compacity.
However, i still can't get my RH below 50%. It usually stays at exactly 50%. My dilemma is that when i flood my trays 3-4 times a day, my RH rises to about 55%. If i only run 2 floods a day, i can get the RH down to 45%, but now I'm sacraficing precious nutrient feeding to my flowering plants. I can already see the affects of not feeding the plants enough. I feel buds could bigger. I have two more weeks of feeding to go.
I've run into small issues of PM, but have caught it early and run a couple sulphur burns. It's helped a ton too, but i see small traces of PM here and there. It's not an investation, but i really understanding why you should go with a commercial dehuey!
I have a 10,000 btu Honeywell AC, which keeps the room around 65-70 degrees. So room temp seems on point.
Just getting frustrated cause i need that damn RH to go down to 40% around final week.
You think rock salt or rice in a bucket could help aid my dehueys to get my RH in the 40's??
Sorry for long reply! Thanks again!
