Thanks! Its a pretty girl. All the info I can find says its a High rating. I have a lot of floro from my last ops. But its doing me a solid. I cal-mag and Silica. and they love it. They actually grew bigger than I intended. The White Rhino is a stretcher for sure. When I thought she was done...

Hello!! Ive been out for awhile, but started up again. Just wanted to show off my Nirvana White Rhino I am using a RDWC system. using General Hydroponics Nutes with RO water at pH'd of around 5.8 600w and 1000w HPS about 22 days into flower. 30 days - 30-35 days to go!

I did go ahead and move the res outside of the tent. I'm going to put it next to another 10 gallon that will be used to cool the air from the lights. I made this out of a oil cooler which i got for free, only cost me about 7 dollars for the vent and a few cuts from the aluminum. lol I'm...

Yea this is what I made, its will cool it after the lights so I can keep the room closed and introduce C02. Cost me only about 7 dollars, the cooler was free

Oh wow, a lot of replies. So I made a easy Ice Box with a car trans oil cooler,its really sweet. ill get pictures. But I am going to make the DIY ice box in a closed loop like a few of you said. and chill it with water bottles but chill my Res with my water chiller. Does that sound good?

Yea I've been thinking about that. I'm working on some other stuff out side of the tent, and once that is done ill know better if I can fit it outside the tent

Yea I've been thinking about that. I think I'm going to start the OP and see how it goes, and if the water bottles don't cut it ill look into the chiller. and I'm using water bottles for the second res for the ice box.

Yea I want to use the Ice box to cool my lights. but with the same chiller that all lead to the same res

Well when i made my system i used http://www.cannaversity.com/cannaversity/article.php?id=097 as reference. and they have their chiller hooked right to the system. So Isn't that the only way to chill it? besides frozen water bottles. http://www.hhydro.com/files/Instructions/ecoplusChiller.pdf...

So if nutes aren't ran through the chiller, how do people keep their water chilled down in a DWC set up? Im sorry if thats a stupid question. I don't fully understand the chiller set up yet. thats why I'm asking these questions

Thank you for your reply! Yes I understand that, but I'm looking to use only 1 chiller and 1 res. to save money and space, thats why I'm asking :P So if I use 1, the nutes/water for the plants would be circulated through the ice box, the plants, the chiller...ect, does that make sense? And if...

so if thats the case what is Hydro Innovations Ice Box piping made from? Copper? and we know copper isn't good with nutes. Do most people use a second res and chiller to cool the lights if using DWC? Im trying to find a cheap way to cool the room and plant water. I know DIY chillers. but they...

Hey guys, Ive been working on building a RDWC system, And I am looking to use a DIY Ice box and use the same water that is in my 10 gallon res. would this be a problem because of the metal? I know Copper and Brass are a bad idea because of the pH causing leaching. and thats a no no. And...

pictures like i promised.. ignore the slight mess :P still working on it

Hey guys So i am looking at getting a chiller, I figured idk need 100 BTUs, so im going to get a 2200 one to be on the safe side. But I am confused... I am goingto use a 10 gallon rez and there is a total of 11 gallons in the control and planet buckets. for about 21 gallons. So how would I...
