Just a little personal grow journal, nothing to see here, pay no attention... lol Strains: 3 x Apollo 13 3 x Headband Top Feeding a custom soil-less mix in 5gal buckets and treating it as hydro. Grow Chamber: 4' x 3', 600w mh/hps ballast / 8" cool tube, 720cfm 8" blower Flowering Chamber: 6 x 600w mh/mps ballasts / 8" cool tube (two 3 lamp banks) 980cfm 8" blower (ONE 8" blower will run the whole system) Cooling System: Hydro Innovations 8" water cooling system (home made heat exchanger) Water source will be from a well and drain to waste Water flow will be controlled by a 120v 1amp inline water shut off valve Inline Water Valve will be by a Sentinel CHHC 4 Environment controller Blower will be controlled by a Blower Speed Controller according to chamber temp. HydroGEN Co2 Generator (water cooled) Will post the build and grow as more progresses. Peace
Sorry I got lost...... A little more about more about my chamber cooling setup... I'm in a rural area and I'm on well water so a drain to waste chamber cooling system works for me. I can cool all 6 lamps including the dehumidifier, and propane Co2 generator with only using a 1/2hp pump. My well pump is pumping water through heater cores that I made for my lights. I bought $10 heater cores on fleabay, some sheet metal, and made my own heat exchangers. 20170824_094010 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170824_094032 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170824_094041 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170824_094137 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170824_095154 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170824_095207 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170824_095223 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM Then added the heat exchangers between the lights. 20170824_122831 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM I have two waterlines, a 1" that supplies the heat exchagers cold water and a 1-1/2 that is a drain to waste. 20170824_122848 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM 20170826_090914(1) by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 26, 2017 at 10:26 PM Ask any questions you may have...
LOL thanks It enables me to cool over 24,000 btu of chamber heat using only 1,350 watts of power. Here is the chamber without plants before testing. 20170824_122859 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 27, 2017 at 8:13 AM
Here is my control panel... 20170827_075323 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 27, 2017 at 8:23 AM Don't have the Co2 generator hung yet.. Will take pics of that when I get it up and working.. This 3' x 8' SCROG is 2 days into flowering and at least 58 to go. 20170827_075432 by baldwincaregiver posted Aug 27, 2017 at 8:25 AM
