Yes sir the heat is a bit of a pita. I'm bringing another 4kw tent in the basement online and working the exhaust and intake parameters for that. It gets toasty down there.

The buckets are just an ebb n flow bucket system I'm using for drain to waste. I top feed and drain the waste outdoors

Haha I wish they veg out that quick!


I've switched to greenleaf monster crop 1 part nutrients. The work smarter not harder voice in me couldn't pass up the simplicity of the res changes.


The heat has shown itself as a very slight lead twist from time to time when the room sees 97 degrees for a few days in a row. These temps are rare so I'm not stressing about it. I flipped these girls yesterday so temps will probably not see 90s anymore.

I could add ac if I wanted to run sealed but after crunching the numbers it doesnt make since right now for the added expense of throwing 4 tons of mini split in there and the added electricity costs involved plus wiring and installing them. Outside air cooling the room is so much cheaper lol

Im ditching my Rev Micro DEVA lights. they do not hold up in a room with high humidity and possible water vapor condensing on the fixture. the PCB will short out or get hard water residue on it and cause them not to work. just a result of having a PCB fully exposed to the grow room environment. none of my gavita, gavita china knockoffs or phantom DE lights have an issue since they are all sealed. ive now gotta throw away half of my 400+ dollar lights and getting a new PCB from revmicro cost as much as just buying a new sealed fixture from a different maker and a wait time of over 6 weeks. Just warning others who may have high humidity rooms with possible condensation on the fixtures. Don't even think about using these in a light assisted greenhouse.
