Misting Set-up (and more;-)
Around the premier of the plant about 6ft (2m) up the white misting tubing can be seen. This wraps in a U-shape around the plant with the area where the images was taken from not having misters. The large exhaust fan is on this side so they would be less effective and the goal is to have the mist generated on the perimeter and be drafted to the center and toward the cameras position to help increase the humidity/mist coverage using minimal water.
The important plugs are installed in the center portion so the lights do not get any direct mist on them (even though these are off during the day) and also plugs are placed as needed in the 96ft (30m) of tubing around the plant. It generally averages out to about every other mister being purposely plugged. So, of the 26 misting sites there are about 12 plugs used so be sure to purchase some extras.
…and more
In the lower corners fans can be seen (more details on the next post) these are important to ensure under canopy air movement. This is needed since this is a hoop house structure with the only air flow (at the moment) being the vents so the corners and under leaf area can easily become stagnate.
Keeping air moving is important in general but this will also help with distribution of the CO2 that is being added.
