In a lighted space (like when I benched tested it trying to get it to work with the Inkbird Humidifier Controller) only the on/off button in the very middle of the top visibly lights up. ‘I think’ it is just that one light. I’ll have to look at it closer.
I don’t mean to presume. IF I’m picking up the direction you’re heading towards , IF you’re thinking I should just go in to the unit and unplug that light, that is a consideration - BUT, it’s really the only thing that lets you know it’s even on. That thing is quiet. Barely a whir even with your ear right next to it.
I think it is just that one light intended to just light up the on/off button (lighting up) that is just bleeding the extra light underneath it. I think.
However, IF I can safely get it apart, I may be able to shield the light from there.
Again, I don’t mean to presume. Is that where you were ‘possibly’ heading?
I do thank you for the discussion, my friend…you got me thinking in a direction I had not considered.
I only say that last part because when I had it on the bench I did not see anything that would indicate it would be easy to disassemble. Nothing like that caught my eye. I don’t recall even seeing a screw anywhere on it. I did not look in the recess where the accumulation tank is. Nor did I flip it over to even look at the bottom.
If it is just the switch, you could pull the whole switch and mount it remotely, outside your room. Then you’ll know if it’s on or off and the light won’t be a bother.
Put masking tape over the light cover until you can tell it’s on but not dispersing light into your grow area. One layer, 2,3 or whatever it takes to make that happen……
That light is the only indication the unit is running.
Regarding it running, I’m not sure it is running now. It was keeping RH at 50%. Now, right this minute, it is showing 66%
I have noticed that since I moved it, it has not deposited even one drip in the catch bucket.
I’m going to have to go check on it.
Yeah, engineers don’t often see it from the users end - no matter what it is they are producing. I’ve seen it in everything from household products to automobiles to motorcycles to multi-million dollar aircraft. Strange!
Just getting back around to this. This is the first time I had a chance to put one focused in under the microscope. When I looked at it that day I didn’t see wings. Now it’s obvious.
RH came down 6% for some reason, I don’t know why. I had the zipper door open when I spent about 1-1/2 hours cleaning the Girls up.
It looks like I’m going to have to get another, better Dehumidifier. One with auto-restart that I can match up with the Inkbird Humidity Controller.
I am looking at the Inofia HD161A. It has a built in Drain Hose and has Auto-Restart. It says it can pull 4 gallons a day out of a space up to 1,056sf.
The good side of the Girls is looking and smelling amazing. The weak side are weak and less than amazing!
The organic material in the bucket is smushed down by a good bit. I pulled a bunch out of there! It could use a little more work.
I struggled to stand up in the back of the space but I did. I can see from there I should be able to install that wire across the ceiling to hang the Yo-Yo’s from. I wasn’t sure IF I would be able to.
Also, what I did most of yesterday. Not most, but a good bit of the day. It’s an old Hein-Werner 1-1/2 ton bottle jack. It belongs to my Chiropractor.
I just mixed and added to the Reservoir 10 gallons of nutes and brought that number down to an E.C. of 3.6 (1800ppm on 500 scale). Still rather high, imo…but, it is to the exact Mega Crop recipe for Late Flower - to include Bud Explosion.
I’m still not sure that’s a lacewing. It’s head is funny looking. And it’s wing to body ratio seems off. Still kinda makes me think leaf hopper. I don’t have a size comparison, but I think lacewings are usually quite a bit larger than that guy. Maybe he’s just a babe though.
Hey WHAB, you think you would be able to score another one of those water cooler coils? I would pay you of course. Or if you could walk me through getting one. I’m not afraid of work.
