Dakine Real Maui Wowie In The Midwest

Amazing. Great job with those sprouts. I like how you used your plugs upside down. I just switch from rock wool to rapid rooter plugs they have bin in there for 4 days if u peek at them there growing. BUT man they’ve are deep. If I’d flip them I could make my own hole and maybe they would be out ignoring the plug by now. Also I have a great question for you. My room is 12 foot long 8 foot tall and five foot wide my temps are 80-95 wtf. With a humidity of upper 70%. I don’t have any air filters. Or anything. What would you suggest to get for a room that size.
 
I'm actually not using those plugs anymore. They were root riot brand. They seem to be too dense and keep ripping the heads off my seedlings. I've heard lots of people love the rapid rooters. Hopefully those will do the trick for you. This last wave I dropped into the dirt but I'm almost a dirt Farmer so it works. Haha.

If you have an external window I would just stick a window Shaker AC in it. Much less $$ up front than a mini split plus installation. Not the most efficient option.

Mini split is middle of the road cost and efficiency

A really cool and efficient way to do it would be a big water chiller with a remote condenser outside tied into ice boxes and a water cooled dehumidifier.

Kind of just generalized ideas
 
Yup it gets tough pulling the environment into spec. Portables are the worst it's hard to actually remove heat bc of their packaged design. Window Shakers are next then remote condenser systems like central air. Water cooling is the bees knees moves a lot of heat easily. Were slowly seeing some liquid cooled lights available but they are $$$. I wanna switch my boards to water cooled.

The hardest part to deal with is the humidity. They generate heat so it bumps the temp up which drops rh but it hasn't actually removed the water. I've been running my dehumidifier, fireplace and AC the last couple days to try and keep mine cool and dry enough. :eek:

kind of a bypass to as much cooling is running co2. The plants are happy in those 90° temps the dehumidifier(s) can sit in there and run. But then you gotta seal it and deal with regulating c02 levels.
 
Here's the Mauis today. They got pretty dry a few days ago. I should have sprayed them but I've been battling mold lately and didn't want to provide any easier footholds for it. They recovered ok, some fan leaves are toast, good thing they grow more eh. They need to be up potted soon.
 
Yours are lanky with sparse foliage like mine. This is getting interesting! She's a weird bird. Watch closely for man parts, though!
 
They should start to fill in a bit here shortly. The little containers weren't doing them any favors they seem to be much happier now. Hoping for one or two nice males to pollinate all these ladies for future seed stock and to collect some pollen from.

Nice! I can't wait to see them as they bud!
