It's made me re-assess my set up and I'm going to try my next crop using a closed system like yours. Unfortunately where I live, I can't source some of the products you are using, so I'm having to modify the setup slightly.
I'll be growing in a 8'x6' room, using one split A/C unit with the heat exchanger outside. I've managed to find a similar but different make CO2 computer that comes complete with regulator, controller and sensor but I can't find a CO2 generator, so I have to use bottles. If I've read through your posts correctly, I'll be needing 2 x 20lb bottles and use them only during flowering.
I was also wondering what you do about temperature control. I'll probably set the A/C for around 77 degrees F / 25 degrees C and with the grow room temperature being controlled by the A/C unit, it will be a constant temperature regardless if the lights are on or off. In my current set up, my temperature drops when the lights go out. Do you leave your room at a constant temperature or do you drop it a few degrees when the lights out go out?
I'm also curious what the A/C unit does to humidity levels as A/C normally sucks moisture out of the air.
Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :rasta:
Tranoble-
Thanks for the help.
As far as pf correction, it does work; however, it doesnt work in the US. The electrical grid in the US is billed in KWH, where as in canada and other countries, it is billed KVAH. I dont believe pf correction saves money for people in the US. Do you know of any other ways to help save money on the electric bill? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Keep your room at about 85 degrees when the lights are on and 75 degrees when the lights are out. If your temps drop any more than that your plant will stretch and your nodes will not be as close together. Your a/c will help with the humidity but you will still need a duhumidifier to control the humidity. You want your humidity in room at about 60%-40% or as close as you can get to that. Good luck.

Tranoble i'm having some troubles with my grow, I flipped my girls to 12/12 and there a week in and there stretching towards the light bad I don't know why, there getting blasted by a 1000 hps and in between some nodes the last few day's is almost 2 inches, plz help lol
That's what they do in flower and you should expect a plant to double or even triple in heigth during flowering period.
no I understand that but I mean stretching, like between nodes is like 2 inches rather then 1, it looks funny and this decreases yield so i'm trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong
What are your temps in your room? You only want your room to drop 10-12 degrees when ur light are off. My room is 85 degrees lights on and 75 degrees lights out. When your temps drop more than 15 degrees it will cause your plants to stretch. Call your local grow store about a new product called Dr. Nodes. It will stop your plants from growing any taller. 250 ml of Dr. Nodes into 50 gal of nutrient. You only have to do this once. Good luck i hope this helps.
