I had mentioned I was going to be going out of town for eight days.
The problem I had was that my dehumidifier ran out of water in just about two days.
So that presented the problem-
How do I keep the humidity in the tent proper while I’m away?
I have a neighbor that also grows, but if I could avoid anyone coming into my house when I’m not here, I would like to.
My first idea was to set up a camera facing the Vivosun reservoir, and have a 5 gallon bucket with a pump in it hooked up to a Vivosun smart plug that I could turn on and off from my phone.
The concept would be look at the video, if the reservoir was low, turn on the pump for a minute or two to refill the rest for and then turn it off.
But that just screamed “ water all over the floor while you’re gone”
So I present to you, my solution!
I took a 32 gallon trashcan from Walmart, flipped the lid over, zip tied it to the handles so it wouldn’t slide around, cut a small hole in the lid to run the tubing through. Attached a little bit of extra hose to the Vivosun humidifier head… and voilà!
I present to you with the 32 gallon humidifier!
In the next picture, you can see the Aerosteam H19 (19 L/5 gallon) reservoir next to it for comparison
And then some proof of concept before I moved it into the room just to make sure it worked.
Should be plenty to last the eight days that I’m gone!
But I do not leave until next Thursday morning, so I’m going to run it until then just to see how it works and handle any issues that arrive before the trip!
when the lights
I need to see the buds tho.
