OK Good test for the day. The rest of it's 18hrs. is obvious. Kinda confusing #'s.
The new thermometer first. It's lowest was 61 with a high of 84. It is near where I expect the canopy to be. Most of the day it was 77 to 82.
The other sensor has ambient low of 63 and high was mid 80's. It's remote sensor is just above the Heat Bulb so several inches above the canopy (for now) and it's high was 94. I discount some of this because the late afternoon the garage door was open and in sun. It was solid 80's. That won't be happening much VERY soon. I'm thinking about adding that 2nd Intake Fan. Ya know Gumball, a guy always needs one more fan.
Not sure if I should bother.
So I need to tell how it went as I was up at 6am with
&
to see it start.
At 6:45 amb. was 63 and inside 64. Heat Lamp on
By 7 top 80 lower 75.
Heat Lamp and HPS & CMH on till 7:15 top 84 lower 80.
Heat Lamp off and temps move to top low 80's lower high 70's.
At 8:15 top 80 lower 76.
6:45 pm the Heat Lamp was a 5 to 7 degree burst but it faded slower. I think radiant heat is accumulated over the day to blame.
I think I may be able to mimic the sunrise and the sunset. 5 degrees with a IR blast, then 4 more after "full light" blast then a fade of IR with a full spec 'day'. At 'sunset' fade HPS/CMH with a 15 min. IR 'sunset'. This may fit into my plan.
I think I have a plan to share with my plants to achieve several goals. I'll get to it soon. The shelves are in to size it up. 9" where pots sit and 26" from top of pot to Heat Bulb. This is getting close to flowering and seeing if I can drip resin from an Indica.
