I have a stocking at the end of my duct which stops debris, insects and such getting into my fan. I don't see the point of adding another carbon filter to the incoming. My internal carbon filter is https://www.futurama.co.za/carbon-filter-150x500mm-6-x20-50mm-carbon-bed/, my tent is under constant negative pressure so you cannot smell a thing at all. Even if im standing right next to it I can't smell anything.
How do you guys store your seeds? I am bringing a rather large amount of seeds and want to keep them cool. Yes I could store them in my fridge but due to the constant opening and closing it will cause temperature oscillation.
I was thinking about :

Or
https://www.takealot.com/portable-electronic-cooling-and-warming-refrigerator-7-5l/PLID50118145
Now It may seem like a stupid expense, but my house internal temps are well near close to 28c due to the heat. Least with this it can sit somewhere and no be disturbed and keep my seeds cool.
Anyways how do you guys do long term seed storage?
New update took @Toby's advice and removed the third panel, rearranged the panels so running two with a total wattage of 600. Today's feeding was 8ml/5l + 10ml fulvates
Yeah I stay in a complex and they charge me misc fees and a network charge, that is already like 500R, the most my sliding scale go's up to is 1.80, so will be interesting to see when i get my bill next week. I'm also renting, but looking to buy a property next year most likely and hopefully in the same complex, but then ill convert to prepaid as to not be shafted as hard by city power.
Nice rustica you got there. I have about 5 different species of tobacco seeds if you're interested. Is that a Hawaiian wood rose I see in the back ? or perhaps and early morning glory ?
You're locking out nutrients, in coco based mediums you want it at around 5.8. I'd gradually lower your water feeding till the desired range. Doing a massive PH drop from 6.5 -> 5.8 will most likely cause your plants to stress out.
Based on this I've decided that I'm going to remove the one panel to the other side, run a total of 4 panels in this tent of two of the 600H mean well drivers, dimmed down and gradually increased when in full flower they'll be at 1000 watts (250 watts per board). I have a spare board (320 watts ) and a 320H mean well driver which I will use in a new small veg/clone tent dimmed all the way down.
Edit: Sorry I can't math today, total power will be 1200 watts when running full steam.
Yep I definitely agree with you on that, In all honesty I was kinda lazy wiring up the dimmer the main boards lol. But I'll most likely do it this weekend.
After re-potting into the 20L's last Friday I am now running under 3 panels at 930 watts, I could dim them down or run 3 boards off 1 driver, but that requires a bit of effort, I may tinker and redo some wiring when they're in flower because then ill be running 5 panels and will try to isolate them to 1000watts.
Height wise let me go measure quick: they're about 60cm from canopy, the lights are very powerful so had to keep them away a bit
Are you running your lights in the day or at night? If during the day just flip to running at night instead. I am in jhb and I was suffering with 37 degree temps in my grow area. I run at night now and my temps stay a constant 26-28.c with 3 of my panels running each reaching 45.c
