well got the secret experiment all set up and ready

and to see if you can guess here is your first clue (pic)

it is a digital thermostat (you can get em at wal-mart for like $24) hooked to a 12 volt 10 amp relay and that is wired to a 12 volt pwr supply,,,,,so basically this is a switch that is controlled by temperature and can turn on a 10 amp device

any guesses???

hhmmm goona be turning something on/off when its get to hot/cold...
a heater when its to cold? a fan when its to warm?
trying to keep room under a certain temp, or above a certain temp..
or possibly to dial in the co2/RH/temps..

Ding, Ding, Ding

we have a winner some one is remembering my ramblings from a few weeks ago

yes I have been researching the effects of far infrared light/heat

this is a presto heat dish, actually had this thing for years when I bought it they were $49, they are now $89 it is the best space heater I have ever used, had to rewire a few things for the experiment so the thermostat could control it and so I could tip it (aim) a bit

will share the research soon

Best I could guess is you fluctuate tempature, or maybe at wind. From what I seen you are trying to emulate everything exactly how it would be in the environment it grows naturally in, so I would guess you are adding wind or making a tempature thing that starts of cold in the "Morning" and gets hotter in the "afternoon" then cools down.

My new grow starts in 2-3 Weeks, I am going to add these to it also; Mainly because its going to start to get colder soon and I might need them for heat.

Dammit, I was too busy today to guess on this. PC fans for CO2 was my first thought. I remember the Infrared you mentioned, and saw it on Slealthy's cabinet too so I got a 100W bulb getting ready for this. So in other words, I have my 3 CMH bulbs coming, and my 100W Infrared Bulb, Pro-teKt & I'm itching to see what you got coming. Teach away.:mrgreen:

Ok one is being a runt but is comming and the first one is prolly a male (cause it is going so fast, my luck)

anyway I want you to just look at how short the first one is because I'm getting 1st serated leaves with less than an inch of stem with the light 4 feet away,,,,,,,

GOT CMH?

I think the pic is worth more than a thousand words :hump:

and the delay is totally my fault as my cheap ass did not buy the heat mat temp controller (only $33) when I first plugged it in the temp went up to 95F so to control it I used a timer and kept changing it's on/off times to get a steady 80F, I think this added a day to my sprouting time,,,,,so live and learn, will be buying the controller next time I go to the nursery
