Grow number two, making space

Lower your sensor it will give you a better temp reading your reading the top of tent

The sensor for the fan? It’s at the level of the canopy. You think lower?

No if it's at canopy Hight it's good

Sorry if I missed it A , but do you have an exhaust fan pulling air thru the box ? Because all that fan movement isint even necessary , as long as your temps are good and air is being exchanged , I mean one fan on low speed should be fine .....

Yes there’s an AC Infinity T4. I wanted a little actual airflow through the plants.

Imo one fan would be enough but If you have two then why not. The T4 will basically solve this prob for you.

I didn’t realize I had a problem until OD let me know to blow up not down.

I just meant temps and humidity generally. Though I agree on not blowing down on your plants. I blow across their tops at the level i want them to grow to....as wind pollinated plants, i figure that's a good incentive!

You didn't have a problem ......yet

 

[amekins]

You didn't have a problem ......yet

Exactly. And I appreciate the experience and knowledge of others to help me prevent any.

I basically only see an oscillating fan as a means to strengthen stems.
Controlling temps by blowing away radiant heat from your lights, while effective, is unnecessary with adequate ventilation.

This is from my possibly outdated practices, however...

Since you're always tantalizing me with goodies...
(and since I'm cleaning out my camera's SD card..)

Pistachio cheesecake with a graham cracker crust...
The Mrs made this one for my last birthday and, damn, was I proud of her... she's an amazing cook, but baking is my territory.

Not infused, but, jeeze... it'd be a hell of a prolonged medicine.
Must've had near-daily slices for over a month. Frozen, perhaps better than fresh.

I have never made a cheesecake. That one looks absolutely amazing!

They're really straightforward. Just need a springform.
I especially like graham cracker or sweet potato crusts because traditional pie crusts can be a pain.
If you've made a quiche or any other open-face pie, you can definitely make a cheesecake.
Very basically - just mold the bottom and walls with the crust ingredient > bake that a bit > load in the filling > bake that a bit.

Oh Damn , nice work Mrs beluga !

Have any of you with smaller tents ever thrown one of these in the tent as a short-term substitute for a dehumidifier?

haven’t used one for my tent but they are pretty inconsistent. I think they are just a desiccant so wouldn’t this be the same as rice in a bag?
Does the RH go down on its own when the T4 turns on?
whats the RH in the room your tent is in?

 

[beluga]

Agree with Hortulanus. Probably just a bucket of silica.
I don't know the function of these newfangled T4 systems (assuming just a thermohygrometer monitor/regulator that kicks on/off certain periphery systems?), but, back to just plain ventilation... if you've got trouble keeping the RH down, might be worth trying to increase the circulation. But that would depend on your household RH, too.
Another concern there is the static pressure of the grow space - you don't want to create a positive or negative pressure - so, using just ventilation might necessitate adding an intake fan as opposed to just having passive intake drawn from your exhaust.

Why do you not want negative pressure?

 

[beluga]

Why do you not want negative pressure?

Good point. You want to aim for slightly negative pressure. But, if it's sucking in the fabric of your tent, obviously that's no good either for environmental controls and (might be wrong here) transpiration and other plant functions.

I'll be pleased to take any corrections here... all my fundamentals/theory is only slowly trickling back into the forefront of my reasoning.
