Awesome room man congrats! Can't wait to see what can be produced with the gavitas.

I used OSB too, just Kilz2'd it and then waterproofed the floor
Thanks OrganicLearner!
I will say this, sheetrock would be a whole lot easier to seal and paint.
One of these days I'll probably put in a pond liner for the floor.
So I recently got a data logger to see what's going on in my room when the lights are off. I have some adjusting to do with the co2 levels but look at these temps over a 24 hour period.
Pretty awesome.

Well I'm slowly but surely getting this room finished, if you can ever really finish.
Got my dehumidifier bought and installed. Santa Fe recommended a trap in the drain line for improved efficiency, who am I to argue?
Found these cool clips to hold the trap in place.
Collecting and recycling the condensate from the dehuey.
Made a screen out of Reflectix and pvc. Since I'm not using the whole room at this point I want to contain the light best I can. Made it 5x8 feet and will make one more for the other side of the room.
I'm also going to change the way it sits. Right now it's on "feet" to keep it upright. I'm going to install some hooks in the ceiling and hang them so it is easier to move out of the way. With two of them I can take one off the hooks and lean it against the one still hanging. Genius I say.
Other than that I've just been dialing in the room. I'll be getting a co2 burner and controller soon as my temps and humidity are right where I want them.
Here is a shot of the trial run. Tall girls are Red Headed Strangers, there is also ADawg, OG Kush, Lights Out Kush, KQR, SSH and China Syndrome present.

looking good TC all sterile and reflective 
what do you have growing in there?

Thanks man, yeah it's bright as hell in there. Can't wait to drop another 2K in there though.
As far as what's growing, haha, from post #164.

Man I'm jealous as hell !!!!
it won't be very long & you'll be dethroning the fishstick !!!!
very sweet rooms & ladies brother !!!
Thanks bunches brother.
I'm sure you will get your dream spot before too long and I for one can't wait to see it when you do.
Damit bruz, looking like a room full-o-buds 
Me thinks all you need to dethrone the stick fish is a good camera, tripod and some shutter time. Your suking mighty hard now

No idea LED. Was just in the directions so I followed them.
Thanks man.
Thanks man.
The trap stops air flow in the drain. Depending on how this unit works (suks or blows across the coil) it could be just air loss or unconditioned air back into the room with out a trap. 
I was kinda figuring that if the end of the drain tube was submerged in water it would have the same effect but the trap was easy so I just went ahead with it.
ahh got it my bad i was looking at the pics and missed it, congrats tho, im doing a build too so much work
No problem ss66, just giving you a little ribbing. Glad you found my thread, hopefully your build goes smooth.
Mine was/is a lot of work but oh so worth it when it's finally full of flowers forming.

OK, makes sense, was thinking something along those lines. The way I run the drain hose from the unit along the ground and then up to my condensate pump naturally has a large trap. Though I didn't see those instructions for my Classic I just picked up
Been plugged in and running for an hour now and room is now down to 63% humidity. I have it set to turn on at 60% and off at 55%. Last couple days the best my 60 pint could muster was 75%!!!! First thing I noticed was outgoing air from the Santa Fe was warm compared to the hot air coming out from my 60 pint!!!! Another savings right there since A/C won't have to run as much now. Once the dehumidifier has run for a few hours and the room isn't saturated with moisture I'm curious to see if it actually will be able to cycle on and off or if it will have to run all the time to keep the humidity where it needs to be?
Hey led, are you using an external humidistat? I'm currently seeing how accurate the built in one is. If need be I'll get a Green Air THC to control it. Hoping the built in one works
my Iponic 600 controller has a gauge I hang above the canopy. In that gauge there is a light sensor, humidity sensor, temp sensor and Co2 sensor. For now I have my Santa Fe cranked to 20% humidity and have my Iponic controlling it.... I have a couple other humidity gauges in different spots of my room. If I find all those gauges read lower than my Iponic gauge cause its sitting right above the canopy then I may just set the humidistat on the Santa Fe to 60% and let it do its thing?? I will give it a full day of running so that everything equalizes out and will go from there. Let you know what I find out.....
Some units have built in traps. Yours may be 1. I would also recommend pouring about 1/2 cup of bleach in your drain twice a year to keep slim from building up and plugging up the plumbing.OK, makes sense, was thinking something along those lines.
