Hey Growmies! I'm thrilled to share my latest project: two exceptional grow environments, each a lush green haven with 9 plants on plant rollers. We’re employing a blend of Scrog (Screen of Green) and Sog (Sea of Green) techniques. Each plant has its individual ScroG, directly connected to its air-pot, facilitating easy mobility and care within the tent. As the Room is on the cooler side at the moment, I've set up a Solea infrared heater, controlled by an Inkbird ITC-308 temperature controller, to maintain a cozy climate. Each tent is also equipped with a Spider Farmer Cool Mist humidifier for perfect humidity levels. Initially, I planned for identical setups in both tents, but adaptation is crucial. I encountered a challenge with the UR45 lights due to their single plug and UV/IR switches. To overcome this, in Tent 1, I’ve installed two UR45 lights: one dedicated to IR and the other to UV, each managed by a Meross smart plug. The Mars Hydro app manages the light and in-line fan controls in Tent 2, though it has its limitations. The ITC-308 takes care of the infrared heater, while the humidifier regulates itself. I'm really into this setup, but I'm already thinking about upgrading to a single grow controller for all devices. Excitingly, ‘Epic Buzz’ in Tent 1 is competing in the Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge sponsored by Trolmaster, who has also sponsored a Tent X Controller for this tent. This addition will greatly enhance our control and monitoring capabilities in this tent. This grow season is extra thrilling as I’m collaborating with Anesia Seeds and Ganja Farmer Seeds. They've provided some amazing strains. Tent #1 houses ‘Epic Buzz’, ‘Red Banana Pudding’, and ‘Pink Matcha Slush’ from Anesia Seeds. Tent #2 features ‘Caramel’, ‘GMO’, and ‘Bruce Banner x White Russian’ from Ganja Farmer Seeds. I’ll be documenting their growth in individual diaries.

@Hologram, 😊, most definitely getting ready. I want to let them fade almost until the end and they are well non their way to this amazing super dark, almost black, purple; my last one showed as well towards the very end.

Una configuración muy chula para evitar la humedad ambiental Yo lo que hago es aumentar la potencia / tiempo de encendido del extractor. Llego a mantenerlo por debajo de 55% (mi humedad ambiental exterior es de alrededor del 60% Si con la extracción no puedes controlar la humedad, lo que te recomendaría para controlar la humedad es colocar un deshumidificador en la sala / armario de cultivo Como eres MUY habil tienes varias opciones: - Conectarlo al TrollMaster para que se encienda el deshumidificador cuando se supera el % humedad deseado - Conectarlo a una regleta con sensor de humedad y configurar el % humedad deseado - Conectarlo a una regleta inteligente y apagarlo / encenderlo a tu antojo Siento no poder ayudarte con tu duda de como conectar el motor PWM de 5 fases al controlador TrolMaster. Se escapa mis conocimientos

@nonick123, hi Buddy, so yesterday night I increased my fan speed manually by 10% (from25% to 35%) and it did wonders until now, managed to get an extra -15% of in humidity down from 75% down to 60% humidity. Will post the chart shortly. So it actually looks like the extraction only could work once controlled by the tent x and no additional dehumidifier needed 🤞.

@nonick123, thanks for the detailed reply buddy, will try to stay up until 1 am and try to manually boost the inline fan, as the I fresh from mars hydro, does not react on my humidity at all , as what they advertise, it only reacts on temperature, even though I can set a humidity parameter.. Will invest into a proper inline fan once the next paycheck is in. As the extraction out the window at same extraction speed already gave me great results. So let’s see what happens once the fan is connnected to the controller. If that still won’t do the job I will decrease lung room RH, as I don’t have any space in the tent unless a plant won’t make it.

The video gives your grow great justice! Your setup came together amazingly well!
Salokin
Salokincommented8 months ago
@Still_Smoq, thank you buddy, that means a lot :) tent-x…. I’m telling you, is maintaining my environment perfectly, never had such a granular control . Will definitely save for another one for my other tent. Fade is slowly kicking in so i guess 3 more weeks until full maturation. Time to prepare for the upcoming Barneys run:)

Still_Smoqcommentedweek 610 months ago
It’s difficult to keep that VPD perfect, the larger the plant the more easy it becomes. I believe greatest influence on it is outside humidity. Nonick123 is spot on!
Salokin
Salokincommented10 months ago
@Still_Smoq, outside humidity would be up next, I would decrease lung room humidity, as I don’t have any space in the tents anyways. And then sucking in dry air should work too… let’s see first I need that fan connected to the controller before I would buy a dehumidifier big enough too tackle my lung room. Coming with the electricity bill of a dehumidifier running quite a bit.

@Still_Smoq, Thanks buddy, we are getting close. online fan still missing, but hopefully that will be resolved soon.
Salokin
Salokincommented10 months ago
@Still_Smoq, I am a data geek so a system like the tent x is definitely right down my alley. Only the inline fan missing and then we will be yet another step closer to Mother Nature. So far I like what the system is doing :)
