Neither can I

after topping my res., the next day I found a puddle of water on my floor.
removing my insulation from around the res showed me HEAVY condensation on all sides. Pooling on the floor. Installed another circ fan on floor and turned on the vent fan for a couple of hours straight. RH is holding at 60%. Box is extremely lush right now. shoots have started to breach the screen zone.when all of the rosemary is above the zone I will install the screen and train the beasts into it. I think warming the h20 to 68f will ease the condensation forming. gonna work on ideas to seal the box from the table top down.
more pix soon....

installed the screen last night. little buggers started poking thru it overnite.
still having the humidity problem of condensation on walls, floor. found a puddle under the box dripping from vent.
I moved both my airpumps to the underside of the box. set on wood, up off the floor. hoping this will help keep res cool, while I figure out how to see the res off from the heat. working with a tight space. planning to install reflectix from the table top to the walls of the box to "catch" the light and heat. and keep it from swirling around the res.....
plan to switch out water in three days. fresh tank, full strength nutes.....

will get pix up once I finish tinkering.....

thats not mylar btw.. pretty nice setup though...if you really wanna get addicted to growing do research on scrog...it is way more worth it

why are you telling me this?

try reading what I'm doing before commenting....

Lol ha ha tell him mstr!

Just a few shots to show time passing.......

1.5 weeks
3 weeks
1 month

DAMN! ! ! ! Sweet progress man.

and now with the screen in, shit's bout to start getting interesting!

It's working.......res temp was 67f this am with a box temp of 85f. rh 58% ph 5.8......
res fan, mister, and circ pumps run every 4hrs for 1/2hr.

ms3 probably won't make into the screen. cut screen from above it. will reinstall if ness. rosemary keeps poppin thru and I keep pulling it back stretching it to the outside of the screen. now into it I realize that it might have been better to train my plants to the center instead of the outside. might work out yet!!!

I see a few design flaws in my box....not being able to see into res is an issue. Might have a custom res made this summer that has a clear window on both sides that I can look into and check ops....Yes it would be sealed from light, but it would be cool to watch the root development. Gonna drain the tank tomorrow, then test my ability to fill it from the drain. hopefully roots won't clog it. pix coming soon.

Dudes that is a sweet set up!

Thx for that...I can't wait either.....as for Mila, she is crazy...crazy cool

Shots from above and below screen. 3 days into screening.
And from below the tabletop.

Can't wait to see how these bad girls start to form into the screen!

so I changed the nutes out on saturday....drained and filled from the res drain and went smooth as silk. Saturday "begins" full strength nutes. I can't believe how they have grown with just half nutes. The root mass in the reservoirs is amazing. The screen keeps filling with shoots and I keep pulling them down under the screen and spreading them open like a virgin on prom night. Will be switching to 12/12 soon. I figure 15% of screen has a node in each hole. will get pix soon.

peace out!

NICE!! awaiting pics.... *taps foot* *looks at watch* hahah

keep it up man!

Hey MstrWilliam, your setup looks great, I was wondering how it's looking now. I am interested in using LED's too. Could you tell me where you got your LED's for half price?

Thanks.
