without new edition we never would have had bell biv devoe which means we never would have had 'poison'...
A BBD reference after all these years. I would never have imagined I'd ever actually type the words "Bell Biv Devoe". Bonus points!
Glad to see you were able to put those lights to work for you. Enjoy it, at least until the heat beats you down. Interested to see if you will have the increased bulk I believe you are looking for.
They're all working out great! I'm so happy with them. Can't thank you enough.
I've got the 1000w riding at 750w for the time being. Temps are staying within range easily... but the summer is just cranking up. I've already perceived an explosion of growth, so I feel I'm pretty golden at the moment. As long as I can handle the heat.
Holly molly you ve dialled things right IN wow man, looks awesome! Yea I just ordered a new set up with the enclosed 6 " ported light box for the 1000w. That parabolic reflector just allowed for way too much heat in a small area. Up in the snow here we ll run little 1500w heaters on a thermostat to help with the cool nights... works well and cheap fix. How you liken them led s , looks impressive my friend!
Ya know... you might get away without using an enclosed hood in a huge garden or if you're using small lights, but you still have to have a good handle on heat extraction. The enclosed hoods work really well... especially if you have their airflow separated from the rest of the garden.
The CoolTubes are just friggin awesome. They have a small footprint and cool as well as any of the larger enclosed hoods. Plus, you don't have to deal with a huge square of glass hanging over your babies. It's just so damn easy to deal with in a smaller garden.
I use a couple of tiny heaters in the winter. They have thermostats on them and click on when needed. My garden kind of reflects the older houses in our city.... built for cooling rather than heating. Hell... my shed is even raised off the ground to allow for air flow and occasional minor flooding.... just like the houses.
Digging the added LEDs. They do contribute some heat, but not so much that I can't handle it. I picked up 3, put one in the bloom and 2 in the veg area. The addition in the bloom area may be pointless... we'll see.
Teady bake, Teady bake, grower man!
Pack me a bowl as fast as you can!
You pluck it, you grind it, mark it with a T,
Then put it in the bowl for Teady and me!
I'd have to concur with Rad.... Bravo!
While not unheard of, poetry of any form is rare around this thread and mostly falls into the 'obscene' category. We have to give it a nod when it passes thru.
I imagine that A/C unit helps with the R/H too.. Keepem Green
A touch... but not nearly as much as you might think.
In order to keep all the dehumidified air in the garden, things would have to be sealed. This would not work for me... I use part of the shed as storage and if it were sealed, everything would hold water and mold very quickly. Air exchange is actually very important for me.
It's kind of a magical balance you have to ride when you grow this close to the limits.
