Sativa1444 PREPARATION Building the cabinet took more than a month; lighting, ventilation, interior lining, assembly, electrical cables, plugs, sockets, etc. After all that, I finally finished, and I saw that the cotyledons were not visible. When you read about the struggles I faced here, I think you share my excitement and happiness… =) //LEDs// I'm using Torch LEDs, and since these LEDs are physically quite large, they take up a serious amount of vertical space in the cabinet. They dropped from a total of 70 cm intervals to 50 cm, and with soil integration, it went down to about 40 cm, leaving almost no room for initial growth. To solve this, I removed the Torch LEDs from their plastic sockets and mounted them flat on a separately sized wooden board. By doing this, I saved about 15 cm of space. However, due to the cabinet structure and the Torch LEDs themselves, there were serious signs of overheating issues. //CABINET// When I turned on the LEDs, they were taking in the indoor air at 26.5°C and throwing it out at 37–38°C. Each lamp was giving me about a +4°C increase in heat. Given the situation, I increased the fan coverage; it helped with the temperature, but later the humidity inside dropped to 35–30, even down to 25%. Thinking about my capabilities, I planned to use a 12V dual-sided Peltier module: I wrapped copper tubes in coldness to convert it to a fan-supported temperature. It could have actually worked, but the system I needed to remove heat from the hot environment became too cumbersome. At that point, I said, "The growth dream is over," and I gave up. A few days later, I thought, "Why not?" and decided to move the cabinet to the balcony. After all, it was hidden - no one would know what was inside - and the balcony was perfect via satellite. Since the cabinet would be on the balcony, the interior needed to be completely insulated from heat, rain, pests, and other nuisances. I sealed all the holes and gaps with hot silicone. Then I installed thermal processing foam and covered everything with partition film. While doing all this, I also hid all the cable connections so that nothing was visible for the thermostat, heater, humidifier, and fan. I added separate lamp sockets that could be controlled individually or all together for the LED lighting. I also created a system where all main LEDs automatically turned off when the cabinet door was opened, leaving only a small 5W LED on. I mounted the fan in the upper right back corner of the cabinet, directing the exhaust to other points. The power of the fan created such strong negative pressure that air was only coming in through the entrance - there was no air leakage anywhere else, not even 0.001 m³. (I did this not for air data, but to keep pests away.) //TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY// After moving the cabinet to the balcony, I faced a serious cold issue this time. At night, the temperature drops to 8-9°C, while during the day it rises to 24-27°C. I didn't want to use electric fan heaters because they dry out the air too much and are dangerous. Inspired by the Peltier idea, while rethinking, I found my solution by using a PTC heater. I installed a PTC heating element made of two aluminum blocks with air connections, and all incoming air passes through these channels. I set the system to turn on at 24.5°C and off at 24.6°C. This way, the temperature fluctuated only within a 1.5° tolerance - between 24.5 and 26.5°C - and became more stable as the number of LEDs decreased. I completed the heating system by connecting the PTC to the thermostat. To solve the daytime temperature issues, I programmed the electricity to turn off at 11:45 and turn back on at 17:45; thus, I achieved a 6-hour downtime. During this time, the cabinet pulls in air at about 24°C, reaches a maximum of 27°C, and then starts to cool down; it is at this point that the PTC kicks in. Thus, the previous major fire issue was completely resolved. I also solved the humidity problem by connecting the humidifier to the thermostat and setting it to 70%. This whole process took me 1.5 months, but it was worth it. Until the 1-2-3rd day, I had only one LED on, then I turned on all three LEDs until the 10th day, but since I saw that there was a growth problem in the plant, I turned off the lights and continued with just one light at 40 cm.

Sativa1444 Last week, I had growth issues with my plant because I had 3 LEDs on. On the 10th day, I switched to a single LED and noticed it started growing quickly. Right now, we're on day 16, using one light at 40cm, the temperature is 25 degrees, and humidity is fluctuating between 65-70.
