Here we go! @basementstealth
@peachfuzz. I still need your flower recipe. I’m just doing my first grow in the Aerogarden cause it influenced me to grow and my seeds are auto
I’ll get it to you… I’m in the process of ripping everything out at the moment and trying to find donor homes for the girls to finish…6 more weeks left… what a nightmare…
@peachfuzz @basementstealth put my humidifier in the tent case the humidity wasn’t going up. That ok right?
Ya… 80% humidity if you can pull it off in vegg…
I’m sick to my stomach at the moment…
People are knuckleheads… no way around it…
$hitttttt…
Just venting…
Will take pics before I start the carnage…
Best of luck, not a hydro guy but I’ll follow along. My daughter messes around with veggies in an aero garden.
I had the humidifier in the tent but I pulled it out cause I was worried that is wasn’t safe around all the electrical stuff. This morning humidity was reading really really low. At 20%. Had a space heater blowing on the side of the tent near duck hole. Is the heater killing my humidity level? If it’s safe to have the humidifier in the tent I’ll put it back in there. Right now I have it on the side pretty high up and I opened the top duct to let the mist in. I also shut off the space heater.
@dbrn32 @peachfuzzYou don’t want a fog in your tent. With that kind of moisture I would have to think the humidifier will eventually bring RH levels up within th ed room.
@dbrn32. Ok I’ll leave the humidifier on the outside of the tent. With the space heater off the humidity seems to be going up. At 41% and rising in the tent. Temp is currently 77 degrees in tent. I have the exhaust fan off. Set to come on if the temp hits 82 degrees. Took the humidifier off auto cause once the humidifier reads 80% it shuts off and inside the tent is about 15% less
Just tweak that stuff best you can. If you’re running humidifier in room and taking intake air and exhausting from same room it should start to catch up at some point. I wouldn’t leave fan off any longer than you feel neccessary.
@dbrn32 @peachfuzz just read that heat lowers Rh. I did not know that. So what should I keep my space heater at just so it doesn’t get to cold. Cause it seems that keeping it around 80 Degrees and getting my Rh to 80 is near impossible.
You can lower heat some to try and keep humidity up.
@dbrn32 I’m not running an intake fan. I have an 1 1/2 inch pvc going thru a lower duct and have 2 vents open on the back and side of tent that’s close to the wall on bac and close to the cabinet on the side. I do have another fan though put away in the closet. Should I seal off the vents and install the fan?
Ok so I turned my exhaust on low and it’s start to suck in the mist from the top duct I have open, but at the same time it’s lowered the temp in the tent about 3 degrees
@dbrn32@dbrn32 ran a duct on the inside to get the mist closer to the Aerogarden. Plus I didn’t like the fact of the mist blowing on my light. Should I close up the rest of my vents? Also how much light leak do you think I will have with it set up like this?
You’re running intake on top of tent?
I would exhaust out the top and bring intake air in from bottom. You shouldn’t have any reason to run an intake fan, passive is usually fine. For light leaks I would use some boxes or whatever and build a light trap around intake.
3 degrees isn’t really changing anything, I wouldn’t sweat that at all.
Well I had the top just open at first. When I turned on my exhaust it started to suck in the mist. So I put that duct in there so the mist came out near the bottom of the tent. Wouldn’t that basically be the same as running intake from the bottom? @dbrn32
If you were exhausting out the top it wouldn’t be pulling in the most there right? So I would say it’s not the same.
Outside of managing temps and humidity you also want to be exchanging air so that co2 is replenished for plants. Intake at bottom and exhaust out top is the best way I know to maintain proper environmentals.
Would it be ok if the were both on the same side? My exhaust is at the top on the left side of my tent. I’m just also pull air in from the top. With a duct running down on the inside. But I can put my humidifier on the floor on the left side of my tent if that’s better next to the intake hole in the tent. In this pic is where I can put my humidifier on the ground. My exhaust is on top same side.
