I'm using a six for the lights, my four inch fan is hooked up to my four inch filter which I can move around and use where needed. If I'm drying bud in the living room, I have it in there. I have another four inch fan which I borrowed from stoopid that has about a seven foot length of duct attached to one end and a foot long piece attached to the other. When my lights come on at six, I open the door and shove the long piece of duct into the room and use it to cool the room on these chilly nights instead of using my air conditioner. I have a black curtain hanging over the door on the outside of the room so when I open the door light doesn't spray everywhere and it holds the ducting in place with the door open. Amazingly it's almost eleven in the morning and thirty five degrees in sunny florida. Work has slowed down considerably the last two weeks. Only worked two days last week and I hope to get two in this week. All these days off is making me dip into my weed money.

well it's more the noise from the air that is doing it, and I think that comes from putting thsoe reducers on it 8 - 5 inch...really I should buy wider cool tubes, wider ducting, etc, etc...but my wife would just start to shake her head, haha. As I result of the new fan I will need to buy new velcro for my landa doors, as most of it has now been sucked off, haha. My humidity seems a lot lower, the dehumidifier works a treat, and left on at night produces some heat as well.
Ah well, all is okay at the min. Enjoy the boarding bru!

My first grow with a six hundred I had a four inch fan with reducers to fit the six inch flanges on the light. By the time my first grow was finished, I had another light and by the time my fourth grow was finished, I had another six inch fan and filter to use as a scrubber. Now all my fans and ducting match up with each other, no more reducers. DST, the dehumidifier will only throw out heat as long as the compressor is running, otherwise the fan blows cool air around. I turn mine off when the lights come on, right now at five thirty in the morning my humidity in my garden is thirty percent. When my lights go out, I have a twelve inch oscillating fan that stays on all the time to keep air moving when the lights go off.

i run the dehumidifier on constant due to soggyness of the country i am in, I haven't been in at night to check but I will to see if it is blowing hot air out when I am lurking around during the night, either way, no big issue as I have a greenhouse tropical heater outside keeping things at a constant temp.
I am not sure if you can get 8 inch cool tubes. Anyone?

If someone can find me a link for a European distributor that sells 200mm 8 inch then please do, would be much appreciated. I can honestly say I have checked hundreds of ONline grow stores and NADDA. The biggest I have seen is 150.....I get my cool tubes at 29 bucks, the ones I see on the net are all 50+....grrrr. So unless I am paying hundreds to get 3 cool tubes shipped from the US I am not sure where else to look. HELP

Hey 1BMM how goes it?
I was thinking about your cooling issue earlier and think it could be fixed somewhat easily but not for free. My basic idea was that your current system could be converted to a recirculating system, somewhat easily, with top drains at each bucket going to the res and all the fresh water being pushed up through the bottom lines that are currently in place. Soo I guess all you would need is a strong sump pump, some drain line and a water chiller then theoretically your warm water issue would be non existent...
Or you could try something like an under current system... Just thinking outloud
happy new years-
WhoDat.

Thanks for the visits fellas, I had the best new year ive ever had in my life this year. Me and one of my homies took a road trip to visit a couple riuer's just recently and im still not recovered from all of the awesomeness we got exposed to hehehe. The rocky mountains are just an amazing site to a guy who dont get to see much in the way of mountains. Ive taking a gazillion pictures along the trip which ill post a few here after while. Got loads of work to be done this fine morning of 2011.
Whodat thankyou for your interest in helping me solve the heat issue. I like your ideas bro, im thinking im going to be ok now for the rest of this grow. The winter here has turned cold and heat has actually had to be supplied to the room. I also have a killer sog table planned instead of those buckets which ill be able to cool in the summer months alot easier. Just got to say though bro good looking out i got a lil discouraged there for a bit, all is on track now for a healthy crop.
A side note about DST's Dog Kush. They love hyroponic growing!!!! The dogs i have going in hydro just dwarfed the soil dogs in a few days time. Keep an eye out right here to see how they finish hydro style.

Mountains, whodat...whodat used to live in NO, masonman used to live in NO and now you have pics of the rocky mountains from your road trip huh? Why didn't I know about this site before I drove across country back in 01'? It sure would have made the trip much nicer. Welcome home vagabond, I was starting to get a bit concerned, I forgot about your heading down I-75, hope your trip was great and the guys you met even better.

haha, you implying that me and the BMM got to chill? that would be cool
Mason you used to ive in the N.O.!? I didn't know that, boy what a city huh
Shit you should have told me you were in denver man! I'm trying my best to smoke these meds bud need more help!!! LOL. Sounds like your trip was some awesome shit! cool
Oh and one more thought on the heat if it is an issue later. You could try insulating your buckets to keep the cold in and reflect heat... but I sure youv thought of this already.
I just made a bubble container out of an old cooler and the temp has been 67f for almost 24hrs.

I have only met one RIU member in person and that's the dude that I built the big op for. I wish he'd post up some pics to show off my work but he won't out of fear. He's got it running really good now and the last time I was there with him to see if he had some clones he could spare he had a lot of bud drying and lots of plants in deiifernet stages. It was an awesome thing to see first hand.
He's got some stuff going calle Super Cat Piss, lol. I saw some in another club and told him about it and somehow he got some clones of it I guess. It's supposed to be really good but c'mon, Super Cat Piss? They had in the 'top shelf' case where I saw it.
