That shit looks impressive, homie.

I look forward to the next update with the ladies installed.
 
So clean, so sweet. I've always wanted to see a grow that is totally automated and you're pretty close to it.

To anyone reading this, any links of a totally automated grow (or close to it)? I'd like to see some computer programs/software that could record/control just about everything from feeding and watering to environment control and co2.

First of all - Farmhouse, it is looking great.. respect.

I know there is one danish dude who build a remote monitored controlled growroom in his summerhouse ( if i remember correct it was around 40 miles from his home).
PC logged about everything and he could call it via internet and see the grow live on webcam.

It is possible!

Im not sure about if its ok to link to the forum?
 
Thanks for the compliments!

I got her loaded up last night. Well, loaded with what survived the move etc..20 biatches with a little extra veg time. and 2 runts i tossed in as well.

Its amazing how in just one 12 hour light cycle the plants adjust to the vertical bulb and start bending.

^^ Was wondering the same, I seen you talking about 2 x600w earlier in the thread.

Awesome work btw! Omage to Heath indeed :)
 
Amazing bro!! Very impressive work you have completed on this, thought out really well and you have made everything so easy to adjust.

How tall generally are your plants once you put them into the flower room?
 
Yea im only runnin the 1 1k light on this run. Eventually (the next run) i will have enough veg plants to fill the entire system and the 4th wall. And then my plan is to have 2 1k bulbs (one high one low) and flip them every 2 hours using a flip flop timer.

These plants i just put in ranged from 12-18 inches give or take.

Im still working on a few more upgrades to the system: Im building a platform above the blue reservoir to hold a 2nd reservoir. It will have a bulk head fitting and tap on the bottom. This way i can fill it with Ro water the day before a res change and just open the tap and fill the bottom res without unhooking pipes and hoses etc.

Another thing i forgot to mention is the backup plan in case of a pump failure or power outage. I have attachments so i can hook up the drain hose to city water with a solenoid on a timer until i get power back or the pump sorted out.

I'm gonna be using a flip flop as well bro. Wanted to run 4 lights (600's) flipped... but might have to settle for 2 x 600's.

Sounds like you covered your bases big time on the back up's good work there, aero can be a pig for failures from what I read. Plants look hella healthy this run should be good....

Can't wait to see what the 4 wall flip run does though.

Really looking forward to your full run will do, this
 
Thanks bros.... the plants are growin like there on steroids. But i have a dilema.

Im limited (like anyone using max air exchange) to the air supply from the outdoors).

My temps are good (78 lights on , 70 lights off. ) But the humidity is crazy!

Right now lights on the RH is 32 %. Yesterday it was 45%. Who knows what tomorrow will be.


My first thought was to put a humidifier right outside of the intakes hooked to my controller? would this work?
