i checked out the growtronix site. looks like a good idea, but im too diy to pay for it. My friend is an engineer, were gonna build it out possibly. looks like ultra basic rj11 and rj45 boxes, with simple environment sensors. so if I can get him to do it, I may be able to duplicate entire similar systems under $200.00.

the software is hardest part, looks like visual basic will never wear its uses out, but I gotta see about hardware first

I ran the sulfur burner today for another 3.5 hours. I have noticed that the majority of the mold is on the plants in the corner closest to the intake fan which draws cold air in from the outside. I have a hepa filter on the intake however it appears that it could use a new one. The weather here is currently crappy and rainy so I am sure the humidity is way high outside. The light are off in the room now. Current temp is at 68/F and humidity is at 47% with 2 50 pint dehumidifiers running at full speed. Do you think that turning the intake fan off suring dark hours is a good idea and will keep the room less humid??? I have a 12 exhaust fan and 4 oscallating fans in the room. Thanks.

if you turn the intake off the air will go stale and the mold will get even worse.

Thanks FDD. intake is still on and hasn't been turned off. Do you think it would benefit me to run the intake from another part of the house and not from the outside when the wheather is crappy.

yes, i do. we're supposed to get 2.5 inches of rain over the weekend. it's gonna be damp out.

ur learing alot of stuff for ur first grow if it is really ur first
write everything down knowledge is power
good luck
trimming sog plants can be a bitch ......just a warning
rather do the larger ones not as condensed

WOW, that a good looking setup, props bro! SOG is a must!!!

wow man, thats looks great, keep up the good work!! how long until trim?

Trent you need to add some current pics. Your grow has shown me what is possible. Also don't forget to let us know what the final yield is so we can see the nice pay off for the hard work.

Thats fukin low, this guy posts every grow pic except for his final harvest pics, keeps us hangin, like a never ending cliffhanger

haha well hes also keeping up with 60 plants, and normal life. time consuming

yes we need new pics!!!! I mean man, we really need them, I'm dieing over here wondering how crazy this looks

Yeah I suppose I need to have some pics posted. Lights are off untill 7:00PM so I cant right now. Its been busy tring to mantain this and take care of my SOG Flood and Drain Grow. That will be another thread though

Sorry guys I cant take pics untill I find my Camera battery.

look at my frostyness in my journal

Hey Trent....how long they got now dude? Must be getting close!

Cali...go take some pics for our friend Trenton!

You should give each plant about 12 inches to grow (diameter) if you flower them at between 6 and 12 inches high. Though you might think soil is easier I found hydro to be easier. If you do soil make sure you research the soil composition thouroughly. You want to make a soil mix that will drain water easily and has no or very low nutes already in the soil so you can control what you put into the plants and can control your leeching period. You need to put in some sand and some vermiculite...drainage is really important. Also...fill the first inch of the pots with gravel so they can really drain well. I wouldnt expect 3 oz per plant but rather figure the weight as a function of the space you are using. If you grow efficiently you can figure to get a lb for about one square meter of area. The more light you use the more you will produce as well. Figure 1 gram per watt if you use CO2 and enough light. (I get 2 g per watt but i use both sides of the light bulb. My plants grow on the walls and have a air cooled light tube on a mover with plants on both sides of the bulbs) Professionals in holland use the gram per watt as their standard for measuring production efficiency.
