A one man show...Only time I have help is for trimming.

Long work days and many long nights, but what else would I spend my time on. Gardening is fun.

The Vert room is running well! Bright in there, 210w/m2!! I gotta say, this Iponic 624 controller is really doing a good job, I've had it for almost a year. I am able to monitor it with a smart phone and make any changes that I want from the phone, it also sends me alerts if something goes out of a set range. It also does data logging for a week. Its been awesome to be able to see how the weeks highs and lows have been. I feel like this piece of equipment is cheap insurance...it runs both this room and the other big room.

How are you calculating that? Are you sure on them numbers?
Just curious.

I just double checked mine I'm at 70.5w/ft2. I think that calculates outs to 744w/m2.
I grow flat/scrog and have been thinking for quite some time I need more light.

I'm not the one calculating it, the controller is, as it has a built in lumen meter, if you move it around the room it raises and lowers depending on how much direct light it is seeing. I'll see if I can figure out exactly how it's calculating it.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm borrowing a real digital camera as I have to get some pictures of these girls as the cookies actually have cookie colas, the lemons are the size of your arms, and the Kosher is giant golf balls.
Pics in a day or two!

I swear my girls eat better then I do each month... 10 Gal Cal Mag, 10 Gal of Bloom, 10 gal of grow, and addivites and its easily 1500 a month!!

Shoot, a 400 dollar camera, is another light fixture!

I wonder how many flowering lights I could maintain by my lonesome? 75-100? The wheels are turning! I may turn my two veg rooms into more flower rooms and build a big 40x24 veg space...

Careful, I had that attitude one year.....
Long story short, I ended up getting burnt out and then everything went to hell. You know how fast it can happen.....

Hard to keep up, but are you running any Gavita fixtures, and if so did you debate whether to use the EL controllers for the sunrise/sunset and high temp dimming feature vs the iponic units? Or the network controller from Nanolux?
