What is that controller for? CO2, temperature, pH doser?

hey amigo!
It is a intelligent lighting controller. It allows me to control 50 ballasts per channel, and it has 2 channels for a total of 100 ballasts.
I can turn on or off all the lights to the second.
The controller comes with 2 external temp sensors to be placed in two rooms, or two different locations in the same room. The controller monitors the rooms temp, and is programmable. You can enter a max temp value that will start to shut off ballasts if the temp gets to hot.
I can control the % of the wattage. My 1000 watt ballasts can be turned up to 1150watts.
It has a soft start. The controller will fire the ballasts from anywhere from 4-15 seconds apart so you don’t have a large load all at one time. This feature is really great.
I grabbed this from my China supplier for $186usd.

It’s a ballast controller

That’s dope! I can see how that would be necessary with lots of ballasts. I’m looking at getting an LED controller that allows me to ramp up and down the power level to simulate sunrise/sunset.

I simulate sunup/down by staggering the bulb start/stops over the first/last half hour. First a single HPS, then two more HPS,and finally two MH

cool! I will begin experimentation with using “red light” at night time in the next 2 months. The idea is to replicate the reds of the sunset to make the plants sleep faster. I have been investigating and it appears that you can knock off 3-4 days per flower cycle. 6 cycles per year x 4 days is 24 days gained per year SUPPOSEDLY. If it were to be true, that would mean that I can factor the cost of adding the red light to a gain of almost one harvest per two years.

Cool! I am going to flip this room next week. Than, 4 weeks later i will flip the next room. The idea is to have two flower rooms on alternate 12 schedules one starting a month later than the other to be able to harvest 1time every month.
