Rdwc Bucket Size Question

[visajoe1]

Here is how I'm rollin right now, just moved it all to flower tent. Air temps a few degrees lower than I'd like, turning heater on now. Red temp numbers is for water bath, set for 64, chiller kicks on at 64.7, bucket temps is 65.5.
DIY cob has citizen 1818's running about 1.7a each, and the other has a couple citizen 1212's running at 1.2a each.
Excited to watch these two flower; agent orange (on right) and sunset sherbet, each with 8 colas. Technaflora nutes

My home furnace is down at 60 degrees at night and the basement drops a bit lower.
Which autopilot unit do you have? Is the small humidity controller that they make worthwhile?
It's not very expensive but only controls one thing. Also looks like the sensor is built in to the unit?

I have the 180 master controller. I just couldn't put out 5 for the one with fuzzy logic c02 control. I want it, just couldn't afford it.

No because you still need a dehumidifier and the dehumidifier will have its own digital control.

My auto pilot controls ac/heat/dehumidifier/temp/ /c02/ and it has daytime setting and night time settings... but you still have to have the equipment. It's just a master controller. ..

what do you think about these guys coding raspberry pi's, arduino's, and similar small boards? complete automation, even ph controls. the only thing they cant do is change solution, lol
There is a guy here I saw writing codes for one

I like it!! But I don't really have the funds to start learning pi programming and purchase equipment to practice. Hopefully one day they will get it cheaper...

arduino's and pi's are pretty cool and not hard to program. But personally I'd rather buy something off the shelf. I like DIY but I really don't need another project!

Watch them leaves on the bottom on plant on right for any problems. Looks Lil dark green and the leaves are slightly ruffled... may not mean anything but those are the things I watch. Your new growth is coming in nice and plush tho... good color...

Hey buddy, thanks for askin. I need to update my diary in a few more days, on day 14. Things are goin well, holy shit! These things exploded and its only been 11 full days in flower. I think I'm going to have to re-gamplan my exhaust setup, but all i really need is a variac controller, I have a stronger fan I can use. I'm gonna need to put the lights at the very top eventually and will need that air space where the carbon filter is. These pics are from 2 days ago.

I also updated my cobs a little. (4) 1212 3000k 80cri and (1) 1212 4000k 80cri

That's quite the lst you got there! Looks good! I think you maximized your space pretty well. I think you employed the right technique for your growing space..

Is that second black hose going to a air stone in your bucket?

I sure hope so! This one is gonna be a game of inches. But will be by faaaaar my best run. They smell incredible already. Better than anything I've ever done before, and they dont even have buds yet. I'm looking forward to watching these girls turn into old ladies :cool:

 

[visajoe1]

Yep. One air line for 8" air stone, the other for the waterfarm

You need to put a little piece a filter over your inlet hose on your air pump and you need to put it where its the coldest air... That is what just murdered Mandalaman plant on the other thread... Are you using hydrogaurd?

Ya, there is a filter on the air pump intake. Affirmative on the hydroguard too
