Dehumidifier delivered today
Dehumidifier delivered today
I ordered the Phoenix R175 LGR dehumidifier from Sylvane . Cost is 1800 however I paid 1500 because the box had been opened to take pics of it at the sylvane center or whatever.Was going to go with the Santa Fe as it has a "dehumidistat" meaning I can turn a dial to 50% rh and it will be 50% rh in the growroom environment. Past week 4 of flower maintaining 45 to 50% rh is important.
This is a contractor grade restoration model. If it is plugged in then it is turned on and dehumidifiing. I txted several professionals and the common response was plug it into your sentinel controller to control the dehuey. I have a sentinel but it is just the basic co2 model cost about 450. The best sentinel controller that controls your dehuey is 900, I am using that at another spot.
Another pro response was to get a "line voltage dehumidistat" from cap to install onto the phoenix model. As soon as I get the money will do. Is this dehuey overkill? I think so but it comes with a built in condensate pump with 30 ft of drain cord and a 20 ft long plug in cord. It also removes 92 pints at aham while drawing only 6.1 amps. I have to say it is very quiet and worth every penny. Also has wheels.

Yo Red what up?
Ive checked your vertical grow out many times. It is a very nice setup! I haven't run this through yet we are at day 19 today with 102 big plants. So far we have had most success with 5 lights and 48 high yielding plants.
No doubt you're going to get some nice number with this one, i was meant to said this one is gonna be a great show on the other post above
Oh and i am turning my whole room in to a vert room next round with an island
cheers,

Temperature update
Temperature update
Now that I have the dehuey running full blast it is getting to stay at 85 degrees or so. The bottom portion of my dehuey has an exhaust kind of like a small engine pushing out hot air. Grow nerd suggested that I vent it with a special piece of plastic with holes to disperse the hot air. I thought that was a good idea.The internal condensate pump is nice, it seems to kick on every 5 minutes or so. That is with the wallbanger 18000 btu ac set at 70.Turns out 4 lights is good given the electrical limitations that we have (50amps). It would kinda suck right now to have 5 lights running....too much heat.Then we would need bigger ac or another ac. I actually wish this grow was a flip flop with an adjoining room. That way it could be 4 lights each room and 75 plants or so each room. That would be proper especially when growing with a partner.

Looking good 
A 4k flip flop would be awsome...that way you could chop 4 lights every month.
How many amps does that 18000btu wallbanger pull?

I feel your pain SF......Never used lighting controllers for the very reason yer shit`s sittin in the dark...no offense , just never trusted em...Heavy Duty Intermatic mechanical timers for the win , but damn sorry you`re lightless...
The bitches snappin under their own weight is dealt with by addin silicablast to the mix for stem wall strength , but not sure how much it`ll help at this point......`Ol krusty bucket advice......
Ain`t enough string ta tie the heavy girls up it seems like.....My plants usedta have spiderwebs of shit openin up the plants as well as holdin their ass up ta keep from snappin........You thought about hangin Hortinova "horti-trellis" ta help ?....lotta plants ta haveta stake or tie.......
Good luck Bro.....pullin fer yas....DHF......

Well my master electrician came over today. He didnt use the d square contactor that i had picked up online because it was 3 phase. He went and picked up an electrical contactor locally. They installed a new contactor and transformer on the mlc and also upgraded our 40 to 50 amps or so all the way to 60 amps on the old fashioned box that comes from the house.I smoked a joint nearby. So what they did should get us to the end of this grow until we pay 2k or more for a new meter and box and shit
Thank you red , dhF and all for your support and ideas
whodair ill use a zip tie
