This week ia am planning to let it grow just like this. Hopefully I will receive a plant camera next week to monitor my VPD. Also added an IRheater to keep temperature stable
The infrared heater does its job, but I find it a waste of electricity, 3.6 kWh in one night. So I've decided to install a gas heater instead, which delivers the same result at a much lower cost and also provides additional CO2. The heater can then keep the temperature above 21藲C with the lights off. The natural gas heater will be used with the lights on. I need to quickly find a CO2 sensor because too much CO2 has a counterproductive effect, as I've already noticed. Approximately 1200 PPM at 32藲C is optimal as long as I can maintain a DLI of 35. Great technology is on the way.
Added: Installed CO2 burner, run it for 6 minutes every hour. Temp raises from 22藲C to 27藲C in about 7 minutes. CO2 detector (just colors, no values) doesn't alarm so not above 1500PPM CO monitor also no alarm :)
Running for 4 hours now and a visible change is there. Tomorrow I will know if it is ok or not.
Added a few pictures. Lets see if we can see the difference tomorrow.
26-05: Added Dimlux Maxi controller for CO2 and VPD. Works nice.
28-05: Topped a few
31-05 Added additional 300W to heat the stuff up. RH is stable but high on 72%. Could add a dehumidifier but since CO2 is already there and my VPD is around 0.8 I thought adding light would be cheaper. Can go up to 33藲C before my floor is heating up too much.
Also cleaned the watertank. So from now on they are on Ata Max
