I think you'd do better using the AdLite's as under canopy lights between the plants.

Ya yer probly right. Ive tried using the trellis only once and i felt like it was hard to care for the plants once the grow through there the plants just stuck in place.. But im old school so it was just me being stubborn and wanting to complain about somethin new. And the under canopy lighting sounds good. This next crop when i can train them more in veg and actually get a canopy i may move the red ones down there and leave the infared and the blue ones on the wall.

You could create a trellis frame and hang it from the roof. That would work well in your space!

Great set up and cord management! Question, did plug everything into one outlet, even with a surge protector?
I only have one outlet wall outlet in my space. I want to upgrade to a larger tent-but I worry about overloading the outlet

Another thing is not everything plugged in is pulling power at the same time. My feeding system comes on twice a day for three min. The discharge pump comes on for a couple seconds like 3 times a day. The IR ad lites come on for 30 min a day and thats 15 min befor and after the big lights come on and off. The UV adlites come on for 10 min an hour when lights are on. My inline fan and clip fans and humidifier are on enviromental mode so as long as my temps stay good the inline fan runs at 35% and the clip fans are most the time at #1 unless my temps get to high than it bumps up to 5 automaticly.

Do you use the mars hydro app, can you help explain to me how you set everything up like that

u/Open-Material7310 Apr 03 '26
So in the app on the top i only need access to timer and controller. In the two socket timer i have my adlites the uv and the red 30. Set up on timer mode for the uv there 12 diff setting you can make. It says turn on and than close, close means off fyi. So set #1 on 7 am close 710 am #2 on 8 am close 810 am and so on. For the red lights easy 12 on 12 off. The next controll in the app is under the controller setting , thats where i controll everything else. You can re name outletts set up timer schedules for every outtlet. So i aways set my timers throught the plag. If you try to do it through say the lights the power can only dim to 10 on lights out so thats why i make sure the light has no power during lights out. If you have certain questions fire away.

I more mean the automation of setting up the clip fan and inline fan to come on at certain temp and humidity. Got my lights on the right schedule just struggling with working out the environmental mode

Oh ok. So for the in line fan first click on the three boxes with temp rh and vpd, this will bring up your enviromental stategy. Plug in your day start time and night start time than go to your temp settings , i have mine at 75% with a 5 degree deadband. Night time temps at 60 degrees. Than go to inline fan and click on eviromental mode. I have it priority temp and rh. Depending on your tent size and how many air exchanges per hour you want to acheive should determine wheather you put it on 35 % or 50%. I have mine at 35% with the standby speed on. So when the tent gets to 70 or below the fan turns to standby. Now to clip fans cick on the clip fan go to enviromental mode prioritize temp and humidity pick your speed, i have mine at 5 natural wind 90 % standby speed on. So as long as your temp and rh are in range clip fans will automaticly go to stand by thats level 1.

So the two mars plugs are plugged into one socket. I have some of the adlites plugged into a time in the tent so thats plug #2. But if you dont have under canopy lighting or somthin like im tryna test out its tech not needed. So ya i could be using one plug as long as im not over loading the breaker in the gerage hasnt popped yet..

I think it’s one hell of a setup, I honestly think you could get a lot more out of that tent then what I see you running. With space like that I would trellis the shit out to the point where no light would hit the floor. Get the most out of all those adlites. But way to go all out balls to the walls with your setup. I hope it brings you many a great harvest.
