Lol the next time I need a piss in the night I'll quickly go check the levels Right now the humidity inside the tent is 79% dude... outside it's not budging from 78%. it's seriously concerning... temp outside is 18, inside the tent was similar(lights off now) The weather has been typical cape winter weather lately... cold, rainy and overcast. I also stay fairly close to the ocean so that also exacerbates the humidity issue. I could use my portable AC as a temp solution but the room is upstairs and this portable AC is not so portable. Gonna be a helluva mission getting it up a flight of about 15 stairs needs to be done though

Getting a measurement halfway through lights on might be tricky seeing as my lights go on at 8, which makes 2am the halfway stage. The rest I will try do

I'm looking to buy a dehumidifier for the bedroom my tent is situated in. My humidity reaches 70% quite often and going into week 6 now, I can't afford to mess with high humidity. My tent passively draws air from the bedroom and exhausts air through the bedrooms en suite bathroom. The bedroom is about 5mx5m in size. Would the unit in the pic below do the job? http://www.dampcontrol.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=75

Right now I'm running a 600w hps globe in a 150x150 tent and my temp sits at 25 degrees(lights on at night). An AC will probably push the temp too low, especially during lights off when the temps drop to 19 sometimes depending on outside temps.... Most portable AC's do have a dehumidifier mode but my AC's dehumidifier mode pretty much works like the aircon mode by expelling cold dry air, not sure how other portable AC's work.... You're going to use a 400w bulb right? Add an extra 100w for fans and extraction etc. and that's you using 500w for your grow. Now introduce a portable AC ,which draws upwards of 1200w and that's your power consumption more than tripled just by adding an AC for dehumification. Keep in mind that some of the older portable AC's draw as much as 3000w!!! Put that against a dehumidifier which draws about 160w to 250w and a dehumidifier in winter seems to make much more sense to me. You also might find yourself upgrading to a 600w bulb eventually as well with that big tent, so you might want to spare as much wattage as you can. It's tricky here in the cape with our cold humid weather during winter. Mold and pm can become quite a worry. In the long run I reckon a dehumidifier will save you money, despite their large price tag. Keep in mind the drying process as well, where the ability to control the humidity is ideal. A good second hand deal will always help as well

You'll have to factor in the electricity consumption of the AC unit though. I've got a portable AC but I'm seriously considering buying a dehumidifier to take care of the humidity because of the power draw of an AC

Good initiative! How exactly do these bins work? Like bokashi? Wouldn't hurt to chuck a couple earthworms in there to speed up the process?

I tried out George Cervantez's h2o2 bath at the end of last year on my one plant which was quite badly affected by PM and I was quite chuffed with the results. Potency was still right up there, the only downside I noticed was that the bud had lost quite a bit of its aroma Would I recommend it? If your plant is badly effected by PM, yes! Your method also sounds good Trailblazer, if not safer :thumbups

There's no problem sharing links to other forums bro, as long as the link has no connection to a financial gain its all good. Would be keen to see your log :thumbups As for this comp... you haven't got a plant going at the moment?

Great looking lady there My apologies for not including the link to the comp rules @TrailBlazer Please read the comp rules HERE

Anyone gonna be out there tomorrow?

May 2016 Right lets get this one going Entries close 28/05/16 Comp Rules Here Just show some interest this month dammit! Please :'(

Thanks for joining! Look forward to your input :thumbups

Welcome Trailblazer! Have we see you in these parts before?

I think all will agree that CK's last entry deserves to take the badge. Congrats CK

@Toby your plants are doing well without being fed! Would you be partial to a bit of recipe sharing?

Update* Latest Topics block has been moved to the top for mobile

I did notice that. It's possible to expand and close each box if you didn't notice the button. (see the attached pic) which will make it easier to get to the latest topics...but....what I will work on soon is rearranging the boxes specifically for mobile with the Latest Topics obviously taking much higher priority. As I say there are still issues to address, we're in the beta phase now so to speak. This feedback is key to me improving it. Skolley, as someone who works in the web business, I know for a fact that this site was not mobile friendly. Mobile browsing must be free of side scrolling and zooming constantly on elements, which you prefer. In the interest of keeping up to date, I decided to make the site mobile friendly. You'll get used to it soon enough I assure you. I just ask for your guys patience while we polish this one up

Ah i see. Well in that case @CerealKilla its no problem bud. Enter them in the same pic. No problem!

Unfortunately that lady still has a long way to go HB. Definitely no point in chopping her now

Greetings folks As some of you may have realised. This site hasn't exactly been the easiest to use on mobile. Especially after the recent styling changes the site has been a bit chaotic on mobile. The good news is that we are about 90% mobile friendly with the site now and I need you guys to be please be my test dummy's On mobile there is now a mobile menu. In other words it's a menu that is only displayed once you click the Menu button, which is displayed at the top right of your mobile's screen. The menu can be opened and closed with the menu button Also all elements of the site have been designed to fit inside your mobile's screen without you having to scroll left and right. I have noticed some areas where the objects overflow to the right a little bit, I will be sorting that out. What I need you guys to do is to please let me know about any faults that you may find or issues encountered. Not all mobile devices are the same so it's impossible for me to test for every device. Any feedback will be immensely appreciated

Sorry for the delayed response CK. You can submit two plants but use separate pics :thumbups

Reaf have you got Tapatalk on your phone? What phone have you got?
