DIY HUMIDIFER/CHILLER FOR SMALL GROWS

This is a DIY Humidifer/Chiller for Closet or Tent Grows that can be made for under $50, & all parts can be bought locally most stores like walmart, radio shack, & pet stores or online.

I use this in my 360 cubic feet closet w/ around 400w+ of light. It can lower my temps from 80's to mid to high 60's, & raise my RH from 30% to 90% +/- a few %. The temps are maintained around 75-78, & my RH is maintained around 50-60%. I can regulate the temp & RH by controlling the fans speed, which is controlled by a Coby 12v dc regulated power supply (Output:1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12V DC)

Parts List:
Ultrasonic Fogger - $25
Fogger Float - $6
60mm Axial Fan (52cfm) - $2
12 quart Rubbermaid Container - $4
12v DC power supply - $4-5


Ultrasonic Fogger.



Fogger Float.



12 Quart Rubbermaid Container.


Rubbermaid Lid (underside view w/ 60mm Fan).
I just cut a hole to match fan size & screwed fan to lid (intake), & then cut out a hole on oppisite side for exaust. I used a party cup for a spout, but pvc or other material can be used.



Top View of Lid w/ fan & exaust port, You want the exaust port to be a little bigger than intake port.



Fogger inside the Fogger Float (holds fogger at the right water level for most fog).



Shot of Fogger on, fogging in the water.



Shot with the lid on but fan off.



Shot of the fog shooting out of the exaust port with fan running full speed.



Full Shot of my DIY Humidifer/Chiller fully together & running.

Last picture is the Coby 12v DC Supply

Is this OK or is that a sign of heat stress?

both can happen, or just one or the other.

it does help w/ o2, but a good ol shake will do too.

Last question before my germination (starting tommorow).
1. Should I water the dir before I put the seed in there or not?
And few other questions.
2. Whats the diffrent in THC between buds with seeds and buds without? I read on the forum that there is much more THC in buds without seeds, but that dosent sound true.. Is there really that big of a difference?
3. When you have hermie, cant you smoke the buds of it? Isnt there enough THC? Its buds right?

Lets say you took a snip from a newly harvested plant that has not yet been dried or cured. What is the quickest way to dry out a sample for quick toke?

yes, keep soil moist not soaking until it sprouts. yes seedless buds have more thc, b/c a plant that has seeds uses its energy to make seeds & thc, vs just thc. yes u can smoke a hermi, & yes it would be the same as a seeded bud, less potent, but still good smoke.

im trying to figure out the best way to light proof my closet set up. im growing in about a 2x3 area with a shelf above that takes up about half the closet space. that means i have 2 sides of my grow without any walls. ive tried cardboard but its very clumsy. i was thinking of duct taping black garbage bags. is there maybe something like velcro canvas...........im trying to stay inexpensive also.

thankyou for any help

Check the board material well for light leakage,if its not completely light PROOF,use mylar or two sided poly to fix it.

This outdoor clone thing seems workable with the dome IF you could keep the temps warm day and night,living in Maui would really help too.

JCJ; In the middle of the third week of flower,with over 100 bud-lets on just three plants.

My plan WAS to do the multiple harvest thing,cutting the top 1/3 or so after my special AN feeding routine along with looking closely at the trics and a two week flush.

Now,after someone recommended clipping off all lower branches which don't get full light I'm undesided,cutting lower buds now WOULD allow the energy to fully go towards the high colas.

And if i do the multiple harvests,the lower buds would be flushed of Vidal nutes for two weeks and after the first cutting would need to resume some form of nute feeding THEN another flush.

Which one would be best,as a multiple harvest may yield a lil more but the second harvest may leave something to be desired,quality wise....

I kinda like the cutting idea but dont know where to cut and how much,the lower 1/4 is really the only thick growth part that cant get much light cause even the lowest clone sites have grown nearly 3/4 to the top since veg. 2.5 weeks ago.

HELP!!!!
