 Day 4 | |
Date: 4/14 Room Conditions:
LIGHTS (T5 - 2'x4 tubes) _on Distance from top of Rockwood 9"
Temperature - 72F
Humidity - 72%
vent running
heater off
small room fan (on_low, facing room)
Water Conditions: Reservoir Aeration running _yes
Temperature - 65F PH – 6.5
PPM - ________ Nutrient Solution 1.0ML Gal. FloraNova GROW
__________________________________________________ ____ Notes: added 10 drops of “PH down” to reservoir to lower PH. PH has been up since HP flush and have been adding “PH down” slowly to bring it back down. Removed light cover on #6 (see photo #4) Everyone stretched a little (about ½”) so lowered lights a small amount. Lights are now 9” above grow medium. I have been making all changes in a very slow fashion. Just a bit at a time, and waiting to see result. Eventually I should have conditions with water and room just as I want them. I obviously picked well as all plants are showing different characteristics other than 3-4 which still seem to be very alike Images: #1- #1 (it seems to be slower in development than the rest, and was the first to poke its head out) #2- #3 looks just like #4 #3- #5 #4- #6 (you can now see the root developing and it is starting to reach toward the lights, I expect it to be above the surface very shortly) #5- new bench I made for under the HPS, with Mylar on walls. #6- air intake filter above bench
Made a new shelf under where the HPS will be. It is 2' high to get passive wick hydro off floor (easier to control water temp with air under res.) Last image shows air intake filter that will attach to HPS. I placed this at ceiling height to better exhaust hot air from room.
I anticipate heat issues once the HPS is running, (hopefully not that bad) so I am prepared to purchase a larger duct fan like a Vortex to resolve it.
The reason I am only using a duct booster fan (although a big one) is the noise issue, I have purchased some R30 Fiberglass insulation to resolve that.
My intention is to insulate the back of the facade wall around the room to cut down on transmitted noise.
I mean what is the use of a "stealth room" if you can hear all the motors (air pump, fan(s) running from the main cellar?
I intend to have this completed by when the HPS arrives.
Thats about it, thanks for stopping in
