A simple way that automation would help to slow down the quickening effects of the arid ambient but not a perfect way because this is a simple version of a more expensive (way more expensive, by $5,000!) cannabis stability room: Line a small closet or cabinet with aluminum (kraft...

I meant nothing negative and quoted you because I agreed with you. I see how it was possible to perceive me being negative there, so I don't blame you for questioning me. No harm intended.

Exactly. Use extraction (pulling) fans, no intake (pushing) fans. Ensure unobstructed and unimpeded air flow (using a mass airflow exhaust passive intake ventilation system) and size intake registers about 4 times the area of the exhaust (the 4x is an arbitrary rule I made for small grow cab/...

If you use those watts for extraction of hot air (instead of intake) I can't see how you would go wrong.One thing I forgot to mention...you probably did experience cooler temps when you ran the intake fans. That is because your intake holes were probably not sized large enough for passive intake...

Not a stupid question at all. A rather excellent question. For example: What if somebody was using a 5 gallon bucket full of clay pebbles or some big net pot full of clay pebbles or other media and they are afraid that the root mass within the clay isn't getting wet enough because of no direct...

Sorry, but I don't sympathize with this Jose because he saw cops coming into his home and chose to arm himself for a confrontation instead of co-operating. What did you expect the officers to do when they see an armed man at the the end of a hallway?? This Jose Guerena obviously seen the...

Excellent compact set-up. You're cabinet is well built and looks like a very nice piece of furniture. I'm here to help you save some watts. Did you know that it is a common myth (I'm open for friendly debate ) amongst cannabis growers to use intake fans. There is no HVAC professional that uses...

This is what works for me. Feel free to comment and rip me to shreds if you feel the urge. Friendly debate is fun and I won't take it personal. First, I mix my own nutes. Why? Because it costs about 1/10th of buying them pre-mixed and farmers have done this for thousands of years so why wouldn't...

What is your ec? That is directly related to pH.

Are you using any organics that would attract these critters?

How about no connected plumbing at all? Keep each container with no side wall penetrations and eliminate the possibility of root clogs that cause catastrophic floods. Do a keyword search of "DWC root clog" on the search engine of your choice to see what I'm talking about. I have 2 rooms of 18...

I used to go crazy with the so called inert hydroponic growing media before I figured out that if I wanted to do hydroponic (the very definition and not a hybrid system which is what it becomes once you keep plants in any media for the long term) I would have to ditch media altogether , and...

This is a pre-installation photo of a "super advanced drying and curing" process controller. The expensive humidistats and numerous other equipment (mentioned in the original post) is not shown. In the coming weeks you will see it in action along with all the trimmings. I hope I can help anybody...
