those who need to press repeat can do so better than letting the whole world wait around the first time. I appreciate the speed as we all have work, education, plants and, shit, smoking to get to.
you do realize that the controller you are showing is like 1000 dollars what viewer base are you trying to reach and not to mention the systems that go with that are even more money
Do not run your lights at night ever unless u want the electric company knowing u grow. Don't listen to this guy on that he gone get u locked up. He obviously dont know shi bout police
Another great video from Everest! Heat in indoor gardens is #1 source of crop failure, I believe switching to LED is the best way to lower any grow room temperature. Yes, some LED arrays pump out a lot of heat also but not Infared or UV in the harmful quantities of HPS. Our 7000+ watt MCOB LED grow room did not need any AC, hood ducting, chillers or room fans, just great air exchange.
Robbie Dang Hi Robbie. Thanks for your comment and positivity! :) HPS puts out a fair bit of IR but next to no UV. Actually UV-A and UV-B can be useful for protection from pests, pathogens and powdery mildew-and it stimulates essential oil production is some herbaceous species such as mint and basil. But, like I said, HPS doesn't have any! Lol. I'm really, really interested to get growing with LEDs in my next phase. (Just planning that now, out with the old and in with the new!) Oscillating fans inside a grow room are important no matter what type of lighting you are using. Great that you didn't have to spend money and energy on additional cooling. I guess your grow room is well-insulated (underground?) - whereabouts are you based? Thanks again for chiming in. Great to have your input. Peace and happy growing, Everest.
Thanks Everest. We are growing up in Vancouver, Canada and we face humidity and overheating issues all the time, just like you. My company is Growthstar Technologies, leader in MCOB Horticultural Lights. If you would be interested in some testing units, please just let me know and i will be happy to 'Hook you up', you will be amazed with the results and I cant think of a better reviewer than you! www.growthstartech.com robiedang@gmail.com
Robbie Dang Thanks Robbie! I checked out your company website and online store. I used to live in Vancouver so I know the city fairly well. I miss being able to whizz up to the mountains for a weekend's snowboarding (aka "extreme zigzagging"). I'll be in touch. Thanks.
Not all people watching this are potheads, I'm one too but I can still keep up with his tips.🤣 😂 LMAO So, without further ado, I'll Just say what Godz alwayz sayz .. Peace, Love and Hippie Beadz 🔥🌲☮️💚😎

I spoke english my whole life and can't handle this guy . He's not even understandable. SLOW DOWN. I was swearing at your video. Are you on something? Not a normal speed to be talking with.
At 0.75 you sound ok. A simple common sense suggestion to you though....... -JUST TALK AT A NORMAL SPEED.😂 YOU KNOW LIKE 99.99% OF US SPEAK WITH LOL. Edit: At 0.75 you sound normal not more medicated
Cheaper than u might think? Like over a thousand minimum? OK.. Even that fan controller you showed is prob $500.. To control the speed of a fan, it costs hundreds...? Gimme a break..
Whats your opinion of dropping frozen water bottles into the reservoir? I'm growing here in the hot dry Arizona desert and with constant subbing water bottles I can manage to get my water temperature down to 77 degrees.
Dude ,Do you do you really have to talk like you’re announcing a horse race. It’s very unfortunate that your videos give me a headache because they seem like they would be informative If I could get past a minute and a half into one without my brain hurting, I don’t know if you know but you can make a video as long as you want. You don’t have to talk like you’re Announcing a legal disclaimer at the end of a medicine commercial. Smh
The only thing here that might apply to my situation is an expensive chiller. Before I go down that road, I'll bury my entire friggan system in the ground. Which you did mention at the end of the video but I was hoping to avoid doing that if possible. All 4 of my RDWC buckets are well insulated and reflective, including the rez but the temps still get up to 23C despite my best efforts! Very frustrating. I've heard of growers that are desperate enough to use ice water bottles in the rez to chill their systems down but that doesn't sound very fun having to freeze and change bottles every day.
Love the channel and videos! Nice to see some else excited besides me about going plants in general, keep up you awesome work...and I'm now a ebb & flow guy lol
Daniel Witzel Thanks Daniel. I LOVE ebb and flow. It's the system that just keeps going. It never seems to break down or get clogged. Ebb and flow keeps things super simple and plants just love the 'security' that timers and pumps provide! :) Glad you share my excitement and passion for plants! Thanks for subscribing earlier this month too. I really appreciate it!
use a fish tank meter in your buckets if it gets over 70 take a emty12 ounce bottle of water fill it up and freeze it and then shove it in the bucket i do it
I don't use them and never have.. first off you should never run cold air over your bulb you are taking away from its efficiency and it will not run correctly. second off you should not be putting glass in front of your bulb it can reduce par output 5 to 10% loss of light.. and when you air cool you can lose 25% .. there's a reason why they don't use air-cooled lights in advanced greenhouses
Everest, I have also heard this from a couple places. They make reflectors that do not have glass, and they are supposed to help with the issues raised here. The air is also not ran over the bulb with the reflectors I am mentioning, it instead allows the heat to rise and enter the air stream. I actually do not even air cool my lamps, but you apparently have heard the idea that cooling can effect output. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MLzsrmJfdlE.html
MookieSynkk Thanks Mookie. I appreciate you subbing the channel last October and staying with me since! We have so much planned, it's going to be quite a trip. Just you wait! :) In the meantime, thanks for the positivity! Peace, Everest.
What is wrong with you - are you running on some kind of stimulant or what? It is impossible to understand what you are telling us as you are going like a "steam train" - far too fast for us.
+Brospeedster Brospeedster, I'm disappointed that someone with your chosen monicker has difficulty keeping pace, however I have duly taken your feedback on board while sipping on a cup of extra strong Yorkshire Tea this morning.
+Heardphin Thanks amigo - I'm actually pretty stoked to have this many subs already. Any more with certainly be welcome though! I love making these vids almost as much as I love growing the plants that star in them! Lol.
That idea of keeping it light at night and dark during the day is an awesomely simple but effective idea. But considering the amount of expense and living space this guy's setup require makes me think maybe he's growing more than just tomatoes. Unless he really, really likes tomatoes.
ok if you're growing cannabis don't do the humidity thing to lower temp during flower. First of all mold could be a prob, SECOND, a low relative humidity is one of two external factors in trichome density. Low humidity, and high elevation. People on sea level can't help the elevation, but the low humidity is easy. I know a guy who had 16 % relative humidity at the last stages of flower.... just because of circumstance....... and his bud was some of the most crystally and best bbud I've smoked. Later on I read a few papers by a scientist from the 80's (can't rememebr his name) who did many many experiments involvign trichome production in cannabis, and found that genetics are the largest factor........ but you can increase density by increasing elevation..... and lowering humidity. So sometimes circumstance works out well xD
upplsuckimcool16 HOWEVER, that's not to say I know if there is a point of being TOO low in humididty or TOO hgih in elevation...... I did not read the entire paper.
upplsuckimcool16 As someone who is interested in growing all plants, your point about elevation is particularly interesting to me. Obviously I don't have a giant glass elevator to whizz my grow room into the sky (but wow, that would be awesome!) but I say I don't need to. I just need to recreate the environmental factors (or side-effects) of being at that elevation in order to mimic my chosen specie's native conditions. Many plant species have adapted to exploit the harsher environment at altitude-lower temperatures, thinner air, less humidity, less atmospheric protection >> more ultraviolet radiation. UV-B, especially, can cause cell damage to plants which is why some species produce UV-resistant essential oils. If I were growing flowering plants native, say, to the sub-tropics at elevations of 1000m or more, I would definitely supplement my HPS grow lights with another light source that was capable of producing more UV (HPS produces nothing, or virtually nothing, in the UV range.). Metal Halide lamps, especially those rated at 10,000 Kelvin or more-sometimes known as "finisher lamps"-produce significant amounts of UV, as do LEP full spectrum and supplemental lamps-also EYE Hortilux recently released their PowerVeg T5s with additional UV. My recommendation: if you are planning to incorporate UV into your plants' photon diet during the latter part of the lifecycle, use it at the beginning too so they get acclimatized. Hey uppsuck, are you subbed to my channel ? because you really should be! :) PEACE, Everest.
Get a cooler and fill it with ice water. Put a pump in the cooler that circulates the ice cold water through a stainless steel coil (wort chiller). Put the coil in your rez. You could put the pump on a thermostat so your rez water doesn't get too cold.
could you do a video on nutrient alternatives to general hydroponics? Not that I have a problem with them, just curious about other nutrient solutions (especially in a DWC setup). I'm new to hydroponics however very interested and have watched many of your videos for info. Also curious about the rocket plasma, however not much has been shared online! Thanks Everest! Your videos rock!
+Hawk Man Thanks Hawk Man. I'm a bit of a gadget freak I'll admit it. My wish list seems to grow by the day so I imagine you're going to see more and more crafty little meters and so on in upcoming videos. Hope you're subbed! :) Peace.
I have my grow tent in my garage and it gets pretty hot in there. Can I just cool the inside of the grow tent instead of the whole garage? Would I use some sort of small air conditioner? It can get pretty hot in there, around 90-100 F
what is the best option for cooling an indoor hydroponic farm, Air conditioning or Evaporative cooling or water Chiller with exhaust fans? Living in a country with %81 RH and temp is 33C. which option is the most efficient and less cost on the electricity bill?
My room is always 100+F ( 93F outside) Kelp,silica sand and water/nutrient tray under the pots help keep the plants growing in extreme heat. Using smaller LED lights 2×30watt and 2×17 watts are lighting a 600mm×90mm room. I don't even have a fan so far. The led lights are fantastic,far better than any Lighting I have grown with in 33 years of indoor growing. Thanks for the video.
Wow, everyone seems to have there own way of doing things , I hear some people talk and I don't know if there bullshitting me or them self's or what ,I've been growing for 12 years and if I try to cut a corner or do something I'm not sure of I end up paying for it in the end ,find what works and use it nuff said
i do not agree with the 2nd point. with an airpump and/or bubbler the water only gets enriched with o2 when the bubble pops on the surface. wouldnt it be better to create sort of a miniature waterfall? correct me if im wrong!
So a little advice if you're stressed for time! No need to talk fast make two videos because you have great knowledge. Thanks for the video gonna watch it again in slow mo though lol
what to do if my room temp is 29-33c in my room in summer? :D i have just small room plants but in 1 week then went from looking nice to looking like they are to hot all the time (i cant lover room temp :( . )
I usually watch all videos at 1.75x however this one was different. Crazy setup. My nft reservoir is getting too warm summer is here and it's outdoors. I'm gonna clad it or bury it.
HIGH EVEREST..JUST A FEW QUESTIONS ,HOPE YOU CAN HELP I RUN A 1mx1m , 3X3 FEET TENT ... MY HUMIDITY IS HOVERING AROUND 50% AND TEMP IS AT 78-80F WHEN LIGHTS ARE RUNNING ..DURING THE NIGHT (LIGHTS OFF) ITS 71F AND 20% HUMIDITY IS THIS OK ?? I RUN X3 130W CFL LIGHTS ALSO HAVE A SMALL FAN BRINGING AIR IN FROM OUT SIDE THE ROOM ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED PS IM ON A TIGHT BUDGET :) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
+setdead666 Hello my friend. Thanks for your questions. I'm a bit puzzled. You say your daytime temps are 78 - 80F and your nighttime temps are 71F - but your (relative) humidity goes from 50% in the day to 20% at night??? That just doesn't make sense. With falling temperatures your relative humidity will go up, always. How are your plants looking? Always happy to help! :)
rite now its at 75.2 inside the tend and 71.4 on the canopy and humidity is at 35-37% last night it was 63.1 @ 35% also??? plants are looking good they look healthy but a little light green ?? im not using much nutes atm as there only a few weeks old , im growing in coco with growstones/air stones .. thx for your help much appreciated ..
+setdead666 Hello and my friend. What is the starting EC (mS) or TDS (PPMs) of your water and also for the nutrient solution you are feeding your plants? If your plants are still small, have you considered a humidity dome to try and raise up the RH a bit?
If you get a Dyson fan it helps track and cool or heat your grow room depending on which unit you get and also it has a phone app you can use anywhere if your home had wifi
