Significant changes were made to the grow room in the last few days. We added a 30 amp circuit to provide 240 volt power to a new Power Box; we split some existing electrical circuits, added some outlets, and eliminated all but one extension cord; we changed the routing and support system for the exhaust fan which kicks on when the room is too hot (due to HID heat output); and we installed a new Ebb and Flow system from C.A.P. called Ebb and Gro.
The Basil plant has been picked several times for recipes over the weekend, not to mention the great salad we made with Buttercrunch and Arugula. Nice to finally have some rewards for all the hard work. Grow 3 continues, and it is a toss-up between Rapid Rooters and Rockwool. STG has been a dud. I think we may continue with Rockwool due to its ability to hold moisture better than Rapid Rooters even though Rapid Rooters had a faster germination rate. In the end, Rockwool caught up - and didn't dry out.
I appreciate you for posting such a wonderful Blog.If you want to save money on your electric bills and cost of bulb replacement, or want to avoid heat signature, get to know your LED grow lights and its capabilities. Give them a chance, change your Hydroponic lighting to LEDs or a combination of both, change your watering habits, and save that money every month.
ReplyDeleteThanks Samual. Have an LED that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. It is a SuperNova Enhanced. Supposed to put out the equivalent of a 1000w HID. I am skeptical, but willing to give it a true fair chance. If it works well, I may change the others too.
