I’ve had some trouble lately getting adequate temperature drops for my highland nepenthes. The only viable option for me was to explore the possibility of a freezer. Over the past several months, I’ve don’t extensive research and finally pulled the trigger the other week and just purchased a brand new 7.5 cubic foot freezer... it got here Monday and I couldn’t be happier!
It’s really making the entire process of providing temperature drops effortless. I have it attached to a day/night temperature controller to regulate night temps to between 52-57 degrees (5% differential) and it kicks on during the day if temperatures exceed 80! I also have a marshydro light hanging above the freezer on a timer that I’m contemplating adjusting to automatically match the natural hours of sunlight.
Eventually I’d love to expand this grow environment to include an automatic misting system and also a drainage system that either funnels the water out of the garage or recycles it and puts it back into the chamber after being filtered (maybe by a fish tank protein skimmer). Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!
