Grump's Banana Sapphire Grow 🌱

[ninjadip]

Grump, i ran the gh ripen for the first time this round, didn't use it in the first two crops but i put their recommended dose in last week and again this most recent change out this week. monday i plan to change out to the florakleen which i've also never used and run that for a week and chop the following monday the 14th.. should be dry and good enough to sample on my Bday!!!! i didn't plan it that way, just worked out...

something tells me i won't even notice using the ripen or the kleen..

I looked up ripen when you mentioned it the other day. I'm on the GH line and i never used ripen or florakleen, curious if you notice a difference, keep us updated lol

This has been the first run using the AC Infinity AI controller and it will be the last. It appears to read below 1EC, but it won't display the value on the screen when it dips below that. It just shows LOW. Lame...

Sad thing is.. I inteded to use this controller in my mother tent so I can have my other bluelab back, but that tent rarely goes over 1EC. I'd only ever get to read the EC by opening up the app when I was hoping to read it from outside the tent.

I rarely read UNDER 1EC in the flower tent, so the real reason for it's retirement is moslty my disdain for AI and the wasted port space compared to me minimizing my components (no heater or humidifier).

However... there have been multiple instances where my exhasut fan decided to be controlled by the resevoir temps... make that make sense. On it's own, unbeknownst to me, on several occasions... my exhaust fan has shut off and refused to come on until my water temps reach above 80. That ain't gonna happen with my chiller. Why'd it swap it's controlling inputs? Why'd it keep the same parameters as my air temp/humidity inputs?

It's stupid... that's why. Smart controller my ass.

Luckily you have caught that before it ruined your grow .i can just imagine what the girls would b like with the water at 80f .
You reckon that controller is faulty Grumpy.

Hard telling. It's such a weird glitch. Water temps won't ever reach 80 without a chiller problem happening, but the humidity soared every time it's happened.

That controller was one and done for me too. Too many bad things to say to list. Some love it...peace be with them lol.
I feel like tying anything regarding irrigation and or pH is asking for a really bad day at some point with their platform.
I like the 69+Pro especially after I realized it could work the wireless transmitters for fans. For some reason I thought only the AI controller could do that.
I don't trust any of the ACI stuff for any critical jobs though. A few fans, intake and exhaust is about it for me. I've also come to appreciate separating monitoring from control.
Like I'll let my deheuy control itself and the 69 control fans but I monitor with ecowitt just to make sure it's all correct

Yeah just too weird. Not for me. I was skeptical to begin with because I'm pretty fuckin' anti-ai, but I wanted to try out the water monitoring. Weak sauce.

It's literally only monitoring pH/EC and it runs the exhaust. Basic. Wildly unnecessary for my grows.
