Sky, so sorry I am just now subscribing and catching up on your journal. A few comments:
1. I really like how you've built a room, in a room. It gives you a lot of space to work and keep your grow area pristine.
Thanks, it's a work in progress
2. I like how you've mounted the ballast outside the room to save on heat.
Thanks again
3. The videos look nice quality to me.
When I shot, I talked the whole time but later review depicted shipping labels etc that I had to edit out. In doing so, some dialogue was also nixed, plus it was shot on a Droid so...
4. Love the cool tubes. Good choice.
IMO, they have more flexibility in where they can be used. Not so much with my hood. Once again, am thankful for all the space I have at my disposal.
5. Those seedling cups have holes in the bottoms, right?
Haha, I gotta admit, for the first 24 hours there were no holes, but I did cut slits in the bottom with a clean steak knife.
6. Please let me know how you do with the air conditioner vent thing. I tried something similar and it didn't work for me. If the air in the attic gets over 100, I'm not sure the air-con will be able to cool itself properly... and then they shut down.
It was your idea that made me do some continued research where I found something similar on YouTube. I too am very concerned about how all heat in this building of course flows upward to collect in the apex. Unfortunately I am tasked to manage/remove this heat w/o altering the structure in anyway ("dang nabbit"). The current train of thought is to mount a box fan at the apex of the security wall and blow any heat to the rear room of the attic. Once there I will make some effort to remove it via the back window, but won't get too carried away with that as there is OSB and white hardboard to keep that heat at bay. It's a gamble for sure and I am near being all in with this one, but at the moment it is the best I can come up with, expand my rig and grow. I will always be in search of my utopia garden.
I'm totally envious of your new space, especially the 8ft ceiling. If you can keep it cool up there you will do very well. Looking forward to seeing the next room up and running too. Is there an internet connection nearby? I know $ is tight but I would really like to see some airflow redundancy or at least a temp alert system like the lacrosse alerts. If the air con stops, we don't want a meltdown.
I found a wifi enabled thermostat on Homie's website for around 100. This will allow me to monitor and adjust to conserve KWh. I'm also thinking about looking into a nanny cam of sorts for the obvious reasons. Picture's worth a thousand words and updates would be so much easier if some footage could be recorded remotely.
Yep this is it! The intake at the beginning of the light hoods, that pulls from "outdoors", correct?
I'm sorry to hear about he recent new Sky! It seems like the grow gods want you to wait a little longer, the way I see it it gives you a chance to make the best grow plans you can possibly create; knowing your skill sets as well! I recently have been facing 90 degree temps in the area, a real bitch, but the new setup is slowly coming together. I should have my first post up tonight, just a preliminary post, few pictures. I'll be sure to link you.
In the future, whenever you complete a journal, please use the Report Post feature found at the bottom left of every post, so we can be alerted to move it for you.
