101 Help with build of DIY humidity controller.
Renco42033started grow question a year ago
High,
I am building a mini grow setup in a very small area and want to make my own humidity control system., Not knowing alot about the way to approach it, thusfar I have the parts ready I think but my question is: Do I need CODE to finish the set up?
Greetz,
Renco.

Don't really get the question but...
I respect it's a project and probably more about the fun of the build than the results....but you're probably on track to grow the most expensive 4 grams of cannabis ever known. Stealth grows like this sounds fun....but I sure wouldn't throw much money at it either. I can't see this requiring anything more elaborate than a PC fan to vent heat/humidity. Just wire it on a cheap dimmer switch then adjust to your needs. Controlling odors once you start flowering is probably gonna be harder than controlling humidity.

High,
Thanks for the Heads-Up, I was kinda going for a result of 10gram but like you said that the build is for the fun and to see if that 10Gr. (pref. more ;) is reachable. The cost I hope to keep below 0.00 most expensive will be the seeds and the Lighting. Looking thru a bunch of tutorials and DIY vids I should be able to build a LV and Temp controller for ,00, For the Carbon Filter I am thinking of a miniversion of a standard one by printing it 3D ad using carbon pebbles that are in a over the counter filter.
The build wil surely be a big fun factor and if my results are 10gr or over, I will be a happy camper.
It's going to be a reusable unit so next time after I can just replace the growmedium ( I'm Thinking to go for soil wit NPK) and get a new seed and we start this cyclus again and again and again ;)
Fingers Crossed.
I will be updating the build and once I get the Royal Dwarf seed will Nurture it like a Bonzai...
Have a Good Old/New Outing. and Happy 4202 😏✊😎,
Renco

RH% and temperatureHi guys, got the transplant done today as suggested by Burmese.
I have an issue after transplant:
- My RH doesn't seem to go below 62%
- Is this level bad for the plant?
- What is the optimum RH and Temp for this strain?
- Or average optimum temp and RH in general?
Thank you :)

PH TestingI have a vivosum ph meter, a ph tester for the up/down ph liquids and ph test strips. All of them don't seem to agree with each other with in a range of 1 ph across the ph scale. My question is what is the most reliable or is there a different method I should use?

Can I use Smart Water to mix up ph powder calibration solutions?Cant find deionized water where I live to mix up my ph powder solutions and be confident they are correct. I used generic distilled water before but later realized it was not neutral at 7.0 ph. So long story short google says Smart Water is 6.98 ph, Think I can use it instead?

What should be plugged into the digital timer?Currently, I have the timer plugged into the wall outlet, then to the powerstrip, but this doesn't seem feasible. I have lights, exhaust, fan, and humidifier connected to the powerstrip, so everything shuts off when the timer is off. Is this the norm?Week 1
