I am building a new room, lots of discoveries, lots of new small issues popping up: Looking for LED specific Temp and Humidity numbers from other LED users
I'm currently running 1 4x4 tray in a small room (120 sq ft), will add another tray after the room is setup and consistent.
Room is sealed
Room Size - about 120 sq ft - 8 ft ceilings
4x4 tray covered by 12 cobs - 600 W
Drip to waste
Medium - Grodan RW cubes with flora flex caps
Lots of air flow
Big carbon filter, 8 inch fan
Portable heater
Small Humidifier (not currently used)
I'm trying to maintain these temps and humidity levels:
Veg Week 1-4
-Lights on: 85 degrees/ 70% Humidity
-Lights off: 75 degrees/ 30% Humidity
Bloom Week 1-8
-Lights on: 85 degrees/ 45% Humidity
-Lights off: 75 degrees/ 30% Humidity
I don't have a dehumidifier and I wonder if/when I should get one, and which one I will need. Suggestions please, I can set up to drain into a floor drain if needed.
I also don't have any type of controllers yet. I'm trying to manually get things in the right range. I'm not running CO2, but I may down the road. Trying to avoid buying an all in one 600$ controller for now. Not sure if I need a humidity and/or temp controller for my needs. Suggestions please.
The small heater does a good job of getting the room to 82-85 and the room is staying around 70-80% humidity with just that heater and light on. Its doesn't have any fancy features. I can use a simple timer to turn it on and off as needed. I can only manually change the heat amount. I've been experimenting with having the timer turn on and off at night, to try to keep the room under 80. I've just been turning it off for 15 minutes every hour, it seemed to work ok for last night, but this isn't ideal.
My lights are off from midnight to 6am, I haven't actually watched/tracked the humidity during the light off but the Acu-rites are showing the humidity going down to the 30's%.
Overall the room is a lot more Humid that I thought it would be. I thought I'd be able to get by without a dehu.
Does anyone have any overall suggestions based off of similar experiences with an LED room? I can set up a dehu to turn on during lights off easily enough.
Any info will be useful, but specifically:
-What temps/Hum levels have other been successful with (lights on/off, veg, flower)
-Dehu use and suggestions
-Controller - How to get by without
-Controller - Suggestions for building up what is needed
Thanks!
