do you change out the carbon in your filter at all, lime? or has it been running with the same for those five years? i’ve been reading that these in-line filters (maybe just newer ones?) don’t last too heck of a long time, but five years is a good return i’d say for you.
man, i so like having multiple temp/humidity sensors sprinkled around the tent and my grow space. it gives me just that little bit more information which i wasn’t realizing i’d been missing before. obviously i have a sensor that came with the ac infinity tent kit, but that only gives one localized reading. it doesn’t give me an awareness of the slightly different conditions in each localized part of my tent. but now i can see that the humidity around my fans is lower than away from my fans (which makes sense, but seeing the numbers helps it to click in my mind) and that the temp/humidity is higher at the bottom of my tent (perhaps i need more air circulation down there?). maybe when i’m an experienced grower they won’t be as important, but for now, great purchase!
in the photo above, you can see the slightly different readings on the top of my led panel. when i’m germinating seeds, i like to use this area to keep my seeds warm, so it’s nice to have an idea of what the conditions are in slightly different areas. in this case, i’d probably put my seeds on top of the led driver, rather than on the panel itself (which is shaded from the fan, so it gets hotter).
i also wanted to show the top of my tent to point out a little tip that’s helping me get more additional height from my led panel.
i imagine when most people install their led panels, normally they’re going to hang their rope clips from the tent pole bars that are right above their panels. when you do this, i find you can only raise your led panel so far before the hanging hardware and the bracket which holds on to the led panel keep you from being able to raise the panel any higher, even though you’ve still got a few inches of space left.
if you move your rope clip attachment point from above the led panel to the side (or edge) of the tent instead, you’ll be able to raise your led panel those few extra precious inches so your stretchy plants don’t get burned.
i love how creative and ingenious growers have been! and nowadays with legalization, since knowledge and experience is being freely shared, i can’t imagine what new craziness and inventiveness will be in store for us. but i’m honestly looking forward to the day when instead of hiding inside and pouring money into electricity, we’ll all feel perfectly comfortable dropping plants outdoors and just helping mother nature do what she does best. we’re already in the midst of a revolution, but that would just be… well, that would be something else to me.
it’s no rant at all LBS. we gotta be comfortable to be ourselves a little bit on this forum. while we’re growers and passionate about this plant, that’s not all that we are. just like a good organic soil, there’s so much more richness to us which we can share with each other and the world. i love seeing peoples gardens and vegetables and pets. and part of who we are is also how we approach the world, and the world sometimes just doesn’t seem to be doing the right thing (although i agree no politics, even if we agree on those politics).
well the one ive got rite now has been running nonstop for 5 years its a rhino from when they were still good (ive heard they have gone down hill) its an 8" it was conected to a 8" rvk low power now its conected to a 6" high power with a reducer, it blows straight on the street and as i said to ya there are often coppers in the layby (wankers) but yeah no smell coming out
) didnt think ta cut a bit of card and hang it in the tent 
I never could afford one though.
