Hey what's up bud, wondering if you needed to raise up the tent, or make a platform, to get that to drain properly?
@jeffwilson18323 күн бұрын
This is my first grow and this thing is confusing af lol. Its so cold right now im having to keep it at 84° for it to be around 78.5 to 79.5 and I know what vpa is but i haven't a clue how to set the parameters on it. But as long as it keeps it warm enough itll work i guess

If the controller is set for temp/humidity will it ramp the blower higher or lower or is it just on/off?

@michaelbinbcАй бұрын
Great video, but I've got a few pointers to share. 1) Instead of using ducting running through the rooftop sleeved exhaust port, why not simply move the fan closer to the port sleeve on the side wall? Especially if you have a silencer after the fan's exhaust. No elbows to slow things down or add to the noise of air flow, and cheaper as you wouldn't need the ducting. 2) When it comes to the bottom ports of intake, it's best if you add a 120mm AC cabinet fan on a dimmer blowing inwards... reduces the power the exhaust fan needs to draw the fresh air in, which in turn reduces the overall noise output, and with the fan blowing in from the bottom, it acts as a circulation fan, blowing over the bottom of the plants. It also prevents the tent's walls from sucking inwards as the air flow is balanced. Then for the light... DIY a light baffler box where light comes in from 1 side, but then there's 2 dividers, 3/4 the height of the box, one mounted at the top, and one mounted at the bottom, so the air snakes around the dividers, but not the light. The biggest issue I have with ducting... is even though it's black on the outside, it's silver on the inside, so the light basically bounces from one end to the other if you're not careful. A baffle box is so much easier to deal with.

Also, I leave my fan running 24/7, even through the dark period. Otherwise, humidity builds up overnight, and you might be able to smell it as well.

@imothyАй бұрын
incorrect, the exhuast needs to go into a window or a hole in the wall going into another room or attic/garage preferably. If you vent into the same room it totally nullifies using an exhaust system lol.
@michaelbinbcАй бұрын
Why would it need to be exhausted from the room itself? It's a tent... in a larger room, such as a bedroom or living room. As long as the air in the tent is cleaned of odors, then all it's exhausting is oxygen produced by the plants after converting co2 into oxygen. I've been doing cabinet grows since the mid 90's. As long as you exchange the air in the room by simply opening a window now and then, then you're fine. A full-sized room grow is a different story, but not something that's only 2'×4'. As long as the humidity stays within a reasonable range, then you should be fine. The only reason for 'an exhaust system' in a tent is to exchange the used air for fresh air from the room the tent is sitting in. It's still a closed tent, so it needs to refresh the air. Plants simply sitting in the corner of your room don't need it, as the room is big enough, and if it's a common space in the house, then windows should get opened now and then anyway. Your house plants don't need an exhaust system.

@@michaelbinbc You can grow in a sealed system, and many do. There are many different ways to grow. I like to eliminate any negative variables that could be out there. Recirculation of Mold spores, pathogens, viruses, heat and humidity, also better cO2 enrichment with exhausting outside, less heat buildup, less strain on your HVAC system because it isn't re cooling warm air. Checking off this many variables can have a drastic impact on your yeild. And yes you can still grow in a lung room and recirculate all that nasty air, or try to filter it in some way, but at some point you will get deminishing returns, and if you do have an issue like PM or a thrip infestation, it doesn't help to have that air recirculating all that nasty stuff. If you've ever set up a grow room for HID lights you know its essential to have that ventilation, unless you want to risk having a fire. But with LED lights, people have started slacking in the exhaust area, and forgetting about the whole reason to exhaust isn't to reduce temps and humidity, but to actually provide fresh air to the plants, usually 1-5CFM per minute. Even Jorge Cervantes explains this in his book and DVD's. Any grow tent will recommend this method as well if you look at AC infinity's website, and the book they send out with all their products, it explains in detail how to set this up, and the benefits. But there's always that one guy that gets away with a sealed system and has never tried anything outside the box, and maybe thats you? I don't know. I've also been doing this stuff for long enough to know there are different methods, and success looks different to different people.

It seems like there's an incline between the runoff platforms and the condensate pump. I'm planning my Floraflex + Growee + Pulse Grow setup and watched your video for aid. I figured I would need to elevate the platforms a small amount to let gravity feed the runoff to the condensate pump. It seems like that isn't needed? I guess you just end up with that last bit of drainage plumbing holding some runoff until the next irrigation shot? Just wondering if a year later, have you discovered any issues you wished you knew about at the start that I should know? Have you considered or implemented a way to monitor/log pH and EC from the runoff before it hits the drain?

I went ahead and ordered the floraflex platforms and they don't work for crap they overflow doesn't matter how little water I put in there. I'm running four plants and it just can't handle it. It doesn't drain fast enough
@SeanMetzger-m6b4 ай бұрын
What are you using for a medium? And how long are you running your dip cycle? If they’re not draining fast enough your over feeding…if your using coco, you should only be using 1 or two floods per light cycle, and time the cycle on time to stop well before your overflowing…if using clay pebbles, 5-8 on cycles per light cycle and they’re going to be much shorter on cycles then with coco because it holds much less water.
@stayinganonymous.31724 ай бұрын
You probably need higher floraflex elevation for the water to gravity feed better. I had this problem, so I set my 4x4 tent up on top of a couple pallets, with the condensate pump placed on the floor outside of the tent. Drains awesome now!

Been growing for 25 plus years, thc doesn't have much to do with the high or experience itself. Thc is like the facilitator or the freeway, it delevers the goods and high thc seems to deliver the high faster in general, but i have smoked a ton of herb that tested in the 14%-19% thc that would put your dick in the dirt. Also most of that shit that test 35% plus thc are foux results with an average of 5-15% inaccuracies. Moister levels change results, there is a lot of variables! In my opinion most anything you see with a reading over 30% thc is a fallacy. Real testing is so strict and controlled. And done in larger ammounts and they typically get a low end range and high end range and find the average in the middle. Your plants will have a 3-5% range of difference in thc on average itself... just look at your best nugs vs the worst that go out to sell from one plant. Test the shit larf next to the prized colas and see the differences yourself.

@snowliferwb6 ай бұрын
@liekepoolers4987 I like specific strains that work for My ailments and with my body chemistry But I tend to really enjoy the experience when I see cannabis with 1.5% to 2.8% cbd on my higher % THC varieties. From my experience, the herb with a little cbd in there smooths out the high and makes it very enjoyable and less prone to anxiety. Terp rich cannabis is always a plus as well as long as it transitions to flavor; this is where most people drop the ball, not many people slo-cure anymore. Numbers and % mean very little it's the " entourage" effect of everything together. Remember your (endocannabinoid) *sure I spelled that incorrect 😤 🤣 is very intricate and many say what is best for you, will typically smell the best to you as well "the nose, knows" so to speak. Sorry for the winded answer. Lol hope you have an awesome day!
