Ok that would make sense but i would attribute it to move favorable conditions for IPM. cooler temps and higher humidity also usually still air. I'm looking but nothing either way

This was for hothouse tomatoes, peppers and cuke production. I'f I could get out of bed I'd go through my textbooks and try and find something on it. But that ain't happening tonight lol.

A lot of little "trade secrets" arent widely published or known about. Its how the botanists keep their consulting gigs lol.

A lot of things havent been tested scientifically still too. So a lot stuff like this is based on hypothesis, and believe me professors have no problem inserting their hypothesis' into the curriculum lol. You just dont get tested on that stuff.

Can look for used but I would thoroughly clean it and make sure it works and pulls water out. Often you can here the compressor kick on but the freon has leaked out and it's not worth try to repair and refill. So make sure it's pulling water out. They should also throw warm are since they produce some heat.

I'll keep looking I'm trying to get it mapped out and all before I just get one.... so I will get one of those 4" window kits where they are thin and go out window then just need 6" to 4" reducer... my new prefilter will be here today and I'll put my carbon filter back in..... trying to figure out if I want to go ahead and get the inkbird controller for humidity now or wait for next round.....

Ok yeah I'll just get the window kit the way I said there I think that's my best bet..... so my intake has mesh that's has a little carbon filter with it..... I have to take that mesh off so far I dont trust that little intake mesh cover.... i have a vent half way open to it that is the tent mesh window on bottom next to intake with the mesh..... sorry sometimes I'll write it out to make sure i understand it right hope that makes sense lol.... my biggest deal with going out the window.... is there going to be steam like a dry? And I have the week to make sure its not going to smell outside.... I just dont trust only a carbon filter....

No there is no steam but if it's winter and cold enough to see your breath any warm air will be visible.

Yeah ph will go down again when you add nutes. You may need more res changes as she gets bigger. Each time you add back 4 gal change the res. You may end up doing it almost 2 times a week for a bit.
