[Father Time]

SouthenSmoker,
What ever do you mean .. OCD..

and as for the proublem with Sholderless Slithering Serpents,i have the Screen of clean on the intake to sort any proublems that might arise with Creepy Crawlies

Kindest Regards.FT

NOW DID I PUT MY PAINT BRUSH....
Ps,
the Screen of Clean.

 

[jonnybgood29]

yeah, but ft, he has a point, you dont want to go out to a garden that is dying from overheating from a blocked cooling intake, go out to find out whats going on and get bitten by a poisonous snake or 20!




you might consider a 1/4" or 1/2 inch mesh metal screen to keep the critters out mounted over the end my friend!

 

[Sleepy]

still enjoying the show...

still enjoying the show...

wow, father time!

i had to put on some paper 'booties' just to look at your show!!

very clean!

happy new year, father...

 

[Father Time]

Jb - Sleepy ,
thanks for droping past again to see how im doin,ill leave the ac screen on the flumeing for the time being and see how the temps go.

id idealy like to hopefully leave it on due to the large number of bugs about,and seeing the intake is basically out in the vegie garden next to the garden of goodness theres lots of canna chewing bugs about.!

soooo, slip on the wollen socks and take a stroll through the room when ever you feel like it friends,i'll be continueing to up-date the thread through-out the entire grow.

it has started at the begining,from the conseption of extending the room and re/fitting it correctly thanks to my wonderfulll friends such as your selfs

to hopefully a sucessfull finished grow at the end.

Kindest Regards,FT

 

[jonnybgood29]

dont get me wrong ft, im telling you to use bath, not remove the other one! the blockage problem i was talking about would be snakes curled up in your nice cool dark intake! if you add a second screen to the outside of the tube they cant get in to block it up and the fine mesh screen you have on now will prevent the insects!

 

[Father Time]

Ooooooooooh,
me underconstumbel now...
will add a mesh filter today,thanks for the great idea mate!
Kindest Regards,FT

 

[Father Time]

Well,
The Sepernt Stopper - Rodent Resistor - Bug Banisher has been built and fitted.

i needed a DIY fix so, it was perfect to settle the Building Beast within

used a Flumeing Spiget some Poly Sheet and Stainless Mesh,in the project

anyhow a few shots of the faberaction of said device.
Kindest Regards,FT

 

[jonnybgood29]

wow my friend, beautiful work.... sorry cant type right now, i just smoked some blueberry/ trainwreck and i have to retype every word!

 

[Father Time]

ok...
so this is where im at presently,finally got the can filter -intake fan - heat sheilds - coco nutes

soooooo,i have fitted the filter/scrubber and exaust fan up to the room and finally got all the wireing finished just bfore.


the rooms now been running for about an hour ,the temps dropped 5deg since fireing up the ac units.

another big improvment to the rooms ambient temp is since fitting the insluation into the wall cavietys and on the roof the rooms temps are about 5 deg cooler than the outdoor temps.

will getback wiht temp conversions soon.
Kind regards,FT

[milo_xxx]

Well done father time. Awesome room. Love the intake.

DIY. The only way to go.



peace

 

[Father Time]

Thanks Friends,
so lovely to have to all drop by

The temps converted are as of yesterdays trails.

at the hottest part of the day yeaterday outdoor temp was 89.6F the room was at the same time 70F %40 humidity.

with lights out and room checked at 3am this morning, the room had dropped to 57.2F but the humidity had risen for some reason (maby because the lights wher not running to burn off the moisture form the AC Units )

im thinking the de-humidifyer is about to be fitted hehehe.

anyhow,thats where where at so far,will fit the heat sheilds to the lights today and work uot some form of watering system.

Kindest Regards,FT

 

[Guest]

I am cotinually amazed by your attention to detail mate. Great work!!
Just a few questions/suggestions for ya....
Are you planning on running your lights at night? I find it to be far the most efficient way of doing things- you won't be working your A/Cs as hard and your humidity will stay much more constant. A/Cs are spose to reduce moisture in the air, not add to it. I'd say the main reasons your humidity spiked is-
(1. Its generally more humid during the night
(2. And your lights were off, its amazing how much moisture the lights burn up.

I'm with ya on the de-huey though, in every flower room I've ever had or helped setup, this has been a major priority. My mate that I hooked ya up with will be able to sort ya out with one if ya need it. Personally, I'd prolly go with the 20L/day model for your room.

What do ya mean by heat shields? If they're what I'm thinking they are, I've never been a fan, but then again I've never tried 'em so I can't really comment too much. I'll be definatly watching to see what you reckon of 'em!

Now for the watering system. personally I like to keep it as simple as possible.
I have 4 reservoirs- new clones, mums, flowering clones, and one with just Rhizotonic and Cannazym. I mix the other reservoirs up for the heaviest-feeding strain. I then use the Rhizotonic/Cannazym reservoir to dilute the nutrient to the individual’s preference. Each plant is hand-watered daily, and receives approx. 500ml of solution (for a 3(¾gal.) or 4 litre(1gal.) pot, other sizes, obviously, need more or less). Once a week I water with plain water.

Anyway dude, hope I've helped ya, more than cofused ya........
Just sent ya a PM, thought you might like to have a read......

 

[jonnybgood29]

try something simple my friend.... set your intake fan on the light timers so it shuts off at night. i find that sucking in cool moist air will drive your humidity higher than you like. try that and i think youll forget the dehumidifier!

 

[Guest]

Hey jonnybgood29,
You may be right dude, but after having ALOT of experience with rooms as big as FT's, and larger. I'd say doing what you recommended will only compound the problem. Plants perspire an awful lot of water, and with nowhere for it to go, it just builds up in the room. I've had friends with the same idea, and it didn't last very long, every time you walked into the room it'd be 80%+RH

 

[jonnybgood29]

yeah sorry i forgot.... i have a 5x9 1/2 ft room so it does work a little different, since his room is almost twice the grow area! and my humidity is always high in the summer no matter what time, but i have only gotten rot on one bud in the 1 1/2 years i have used this setup, go figure!
