Heya guys n gang,

Just stopping in to say happiest belated 420.
I hope all here had a wonderfully stony day. I did.


Just curious if you have a dollar amount attached to this COB build ?

Girls look great and wow are you guys rocking the kit or what ! Didn't take long

Going to order the basic kit early next week. Very very very excited.
Okay later days y'all

Everything that is needed for 4 cobs is right around $250. That's not including the frame or the control box. We are doing 16 right now so it's just over $1000.

Jacob, Nis and friends,...well, that's good news Jacob,...you will soon be 'assimilated'...ask Nis, him and Canna are...Muhahaha!:slide:

Wow guys! Beautiful! Hey how long does the DC auto go. Mine spouted 2/23.

First time run with the auto as this was the generation it would start showing. The photoperiod went 60 days in flower. I believe ours sprouted right around the same time and it has a few more weeks yet. The DDA father goes 8-9 weeks from seed.
 
Nis what temp do you keep your grow room at? I am trying to keep mine around 76 degrees, when lights are out it drops to around 70 degrees this morning when lights came on this morning it was 68. Some times it can get up to 81 in the day. Looking to get a larger fan to keep the temperature at a constant. Do you run your fans 24/7 or are they off in darkness?
 
Hey Cnewb, cheers eh. Suggestion only OK,...run your exhaust fan/filter 24/7/365. Those temps you have are fine BTW. A 15 degree difference between night/day is optimum. Mine is around 68-82. I run the exhaust fan/ filter like that to exchange the air often.
Have a great night Cnewb!:high-five:

Thanks Duggan, mine hover from 68-70 lights out, and 75 - 81 lights on so I guess that is pretty good, now if my last seed would break through the dirt I would be golden. 7 strains, 12 seeds waiting om the last one, Chocoloco, ever try it? :thumb:

No, tasty is it,...you had it?
So , ya got 11/12 right now , without that last one? Man, Cnewb, that's better than pretty good, ya know. She (?) may still get with it. Cheers eh!
 
Nope haven't tried it this is the first time for 6 of the strains, White Widow is the only repeat that I have, can't go wrong with it. I love chocolate and cannabis so I figured it is a win win...I hope. Have a great night and enjoy the hockey games....Go Washington.:smokin2:

Oh ya, me too, i'm a Wings fan , remember , so i DON'T like Toronto..wanna see OV and the lads kick their lil asses!!!
Ya eh,..funny about cannabis and chocolate ...i totally agree...:tokin: Talk later for shore...cheers Cnewb, Nis and Canna and friends...:circle-of-love:

Lights on is 79-80/RH 55-60%. Lights off 70-72 with same RH. We have the exhaust running 24/7 in the veg room and the AC is in the other room. So it is constantly exchanging the air in both the rooms but not the freshly cooled AC air. Like Duggan said your temps are good. Your best bet would to find a controller or thermostat that you could hook up to the fan but then when it thermostat is satisfied then the fan shuts off. Hmmmm. Our intake air is 70 degrees so it'll never get colder than that...a drop in temps at night is good though, just don't let it get too low.

Stoned, playing with my new phone, and watching the cubs on a Friday night with the family. Life is good.

Thanks Nis looks like my temps are pretty good then. I was worried about lights on temps hitting 80/81 degrees and lights off temps hitting 68/70 degrees but if it is okay for pros like you and Duggan I was worrying about nothing. Have a great night.:passitleft:

I just got a thermostat from these guys I really like. They have a humidistat as well.

I've been running the temperature sensor for that into my flower tent rather than sensing the ambient room temperature. I think you've got a smarter idea, controlling the ambient room temperature that the tent is passively in-taking from. That way you could get a humidistat to hook the fan to and be controlled for both humidity and temperature, while saving some power and equipment life.

I've been thinking of hooking up a humidistat to my exhaust fan, but I'm exhausting two tents through a Y pipe, so it's a question of sensing and controlling the fan based on the flower tent humidity or the veg tent humidity.

If you wanted to get crazy, you could purchase 2 24 volt round zone dampers (the size of your exhaust duct) and a 24 volt 40VA transformer. Install the zone dampers, 2 humidistats that close on a rise in humidity like a dehumidifier does and wire the zone dampers from the transformer through the humidistats to the zone dampers. The zones would open on rise in humidity allowing one to be closed while the fan is on. That might be too confusing reading it but it wouldn't be that difficult.

Definitely too confusing. I don't even know what a damper is :P. Sounds like some real HVAC stuff

Neiko, I wouldn't mind one tiny bit if you dropped some HVAC knowledge on us. :yahoo:

Y'know we dream about our growing spaces, and it's easy to get involved in the perfect lighting and I find myself contemplating $1500 in "improvements" and it feels like if I spent that much on airflow and humidity control I could get a real whiz-bang setup that would be far more effective than "perfect" lighting.

So ... :hmmm: ... I like the idea of basic parts that a guy could use to fit his own particular room. I got all interested in Arduino ? based systems, too. It sure would be nice to get everything modularized and controlled through a simple wifi app or sumpin. But I look at the commercial controllers and they look like they work fine for a few hundred bucks, so maybe it's not worth bothering with custom stuff.
 
Hey Graytail, I agree totally about getting temps and humidity under control. It is especially hard in tents especially when the lights go out. I have my veg area in the same room the flowering tents are in. I have a mini split, humidifier and dehumidifier all to keep the room in the zone but the tents still spike when lights go out. I can't open the passive intakes anymore because I'm worried about light leaks from the veg area.
I'd be happy to help anyone with HVAC questions but I don't want to clog up this thread. Just PM me or ask me on my journal and I'll give it my best shot.
