Hi folks. First, I want to give a big THANKS to this website and all the information it has provided. It's also the only 'green' website that gets through the web-screening filters at my work I am a licensed patient in WA and I have been growing about 1-3 plants onand off for over 4 years (very basic set up). Recently, my roommate and I decided to expand and grow (up to) 30 plants, as our recommendations allow up to 15 plants per patient. My questions are: 1) What’s a better grow set up option? a. one 5’ x 10’ grow room for both Grow/Bloom b. one 5’x 4’ for Grow + one 5’ x 6’ for Bloom c. or whatever you think is better than the abovementioned…just remember, I'm limited to a 5' x 10' space 2) Is there a digital timer (for power) on the market thatI can operate remotely? I like the idea of having digital timers, but I would like something that can be linked to a dedicated grow-op laptop. If I can control it with a computer, then I can remote access it anywhere in the world. Has anyone done this? 3) Lastly, is there a device that monitors your humidity/temperature AND puts that data into a computer - which of course, I plan to access remotely for careful monitoring So far, my equipment list is as follows: Lighting two 600W HPS lamps- Lumatek is good for 1000W, but right now it’s on 600Wand it has 600W HPS lights in two 405W LED blackstar chrome - combined with HPS for flowering. 2 green lamps, under 100W total – for accessing the grow room when lights are off Total Watts and Power Timers Between my two 6” fans (110W each) and lighting, I am looking at 2300+ watts (this is of course debatable since the LED’s will probably draw less than ‘405W’ but that's another topic in itself). I am open to suggestions, constructive criticism or anything that will help. Thanks!
found something for humidity/temp WiFi Temperature and Humidity Data Logger - Sensor with Wireless Communications to PC by Lascar still looking for options to control power via laptop/PC
