The only thing I have to add to the above is that if you don't need the dehumidifier.....and at this early stage you may not unless its more than 60%_ then turn it off. A dehumidifier will ad heat to your room. You should definitely vent that tent and maybe bring in some colder air from outside if possible?
My grow space is only 4x6x8 and with my lights and a larger size dehumidifier and the heat set at 60 degrees F I still have to crack the window to keep the room temp at about 75 F when the lights are on. And I'm growing in the land of Northern Lights and Matanuska Thunder F*** ! Cheers and get growing!
Still working on the yields honestly. Finally got the quality down though I think. That tent I use for seedlings and clones only right now. Lately though I've considered taking a couple ladies through till harvest just to see what yields I can get from those lights. Apparently I was wrong on the wattage, they're 45W each. This is the light I have https://www.ebay.com/itm/331908620947
Update on my tent!!! I got the AC Infinity 6 inch exhaustion and so far... I went from 91 down to 81 degrees in a fee hours. So I think it's working, humidity is at 40 WHICH i think I'm going to have to buy humidifier to bring it up but I think it's working. And I was able to get a discount on the fan because I went on YouTube and got one of those coupon codes those reviewers always giving out
40% RH is not bad with lights on. You may find you need that dehumid when you get to flower. I found out real quick I needed one when RH was 90% on day 1 of 12/12.
The lowest it got was 11% lights off. These days I'm at 50 ish now that we don't have the furnace goin full time & the Oregon rains are picking back up.
Great, im not gonna worry about the RH then i was reading around and saw 40 to 70 is ideal so ill see how it goes.
Has anyone calibrated a PH reader with distilled water? With all this covid 19 stuff going on i literally can only find bottle spring or purified water, but the directions say distilled FML
Gluteous i definitely have a dehumidifier just in case
​​​​​​ JDU i live in the south so my humidity is normally crazy high in general but trying to keep humidity high and temps low to med is a big learning curve for a newbie like me.
Is that what the directions say?
Nope, I never use distilled water for anything with my ph meter. Deionized water to clean, KCL solution to store the bulb in, and buffer solution to calibrate. I don’t think distilled is ever recommended due to the mineral content.
Humid & hot. Yeah I feel for ya.
I got one of those Ph pens that give 3 packages & say to use distilled water to calibrate. I should probably do that. The drops aren't nearly as accurate
Yeah, it sounds like i have one like JDU I have 3 packets and i think im supposed to use distilled water but we literally have none in the whole county i have been to so many places looking for a week but only spring and purified bottled water . But i dont want to mess it up. ..im not sure what Deionized water is but I'm pretty i cant find that either lol
Oh Shyt! I didn't even thought about checking places like that but I will.
GOOD info on the water i literally never heard of that. Im checking it out now.
So far that AC infinity fan has been amazing and quiet! Money well spent!
