Oh, the humanity!!
Hi all -
I've decided to re-do my grow rack yet again. All this was undertaken with the idea of getting better ventilation and better humidity for my Nep collection that I'm slowly stepping up. Here's what I did:
What I started with
Step 1 - gather the supplies
Step 2 - strip my grow rack down
Step 3 - hit it with some mylar
Step 4 - wrap the whole thing in opaque cellophane; tape up all holes
Step 5 - cut the front open
Step 6a - install the duct work on the lower shelf (this pipe brings cool air in from outside of the rack)
Step 6b - install the duct work on the upper shelf (one pipe exhausts hot air out the top of the rack, the other is for the humidifier
Step 7 - thick foam weather stripping
Step 8 - hang a sheet of clear PVC
Step 9 - hang a thick sheet of canvas over the PVC to block some light
Step 10 - rig up both fans
Step 11 - rig up the humidifier
And presto! With the humidifier on, RH inside the rack is 65% right now - it was in the high 40's before I started this project.
Comments or criticism welcome, please!
