I am still tossing around ideas.. I originally pondered using a bunch of timers but now I am thinking about a control box. I still have time to make up my mind on all that stuff.. and a few more days till payday when I can do anything about my made up mind.. haha

Im thinking about using a digital programable thermostat along with a recirc A/C system and CO2.. the controller will take input from the programmed thermometer and simulate night temps during the day (when the lights are off) and day temps at night when the lights are on. There will be an optical sensor to only allow CO2 injection during lights on periods and it will take input from a CO2 sensor to maintain 1500ppm.. A milwalkee ph controller will be set up to maintain nutrient ph and the only timers will be for the nutrient pump and the lights.. (and there is more than just the one HPS).. This way, lights and nutes are timed, and everything else is fully automated.

I have most of the stuff I need for this now.. including the co2 sensor and the knoledge to build the (simple) controller. I was scouring garage sales for a window unit this weekend with no luck.. damn TX heat

I just extended my lease 18 months and my roomate moved out on me so what to do with a spare bedroom for 18 months right? I mean.. I tried for a while to find another roomate but everyone I know is settled.. so.. I will fulfill my lifelong dream of growing in a spare bedroom. Cant blame a guy for that right? Hahaha.. dont answer!

When I move out of here I will prob sell the equipment to the next guy in line and take my score with me wherever I go.. haha
