    Sealed grow shed insulation for underneath.

    If you decide to insulate right over top of the floor as is (and have to raise it all up and lose a few inches), might as well plumb or wire in a radiant floor system while your at it.. ;-)

    Sealed grow shed insulation for underneath.

    Crawl up under there and use some of the spray foam (or even a small spray can of great stuff) like an adhesive to hold up rigid foam panels you cut out to fit between the joists? As in, stuff or prop the panels up in there, and foam just around the edge of each panel to fill any gaps. Also...

    How much CO2 do you use?

    I would probably buy another 20 gallon tank, and keep the 10 around as a backup. Just in case you ever ran out...

    I like that way better ^

    How much CO2 do you use?

    Well, 99% of citric acid used today is made that way, by feeding sugars to the mold strains, probably since the 1920s.. Afaik anyway. They even label so many of the food specific products (probably the same ones in your cupboards right now) as non-gmo, and slap lemon & oranges on the package...

    How much CO2 do you use?

    Calcium citrate is actually man made from a toxic genetically modified black mold strain, BTW. They trick you into thinking its some natural citrus product with colorful fruity labels. Not sure how you would make it, but sounds kinda fun!

    Few ideas to get around the heating issue with LED lights.

    Yeah for sure you can try to save a good size chunk of change, and build your own DIY E/HRV. Multiple different variations to pick from too. I've seen guys use beer cans placed inside 3 inch sewer pipes to make simple heat recovery ex-changers just like you say. I'll find the links.. A long 6'...

    Few ideas to get around the heating issue with LED lights.

    I was thinking something like this config, but the HRV unit would be tuned with an extra powerful exhaust fan so that it can overcome the carbon filter restriction. Maybe even put the carbon filter inside another box, and add a plenum with an inline fan pulling on the box from outside of it...

    Few ideas to get around the heating issue with LED lights.

    If you put the plants into tent (as most LED growers do), and rigged up heat recovery ventilator (the most efficient air 2 air heat exchanger type of system) unit to both the exhaust output and the main intake.. basically creating an active ventilation loop, you could theoretically keep just the...

    Few ideas to get around the heating issue with LED lights.

    Would you be ventilating the room, or would it be sealed off?

    Few ideas to get around the heating issue with LED lights.

    It certainly wouldn't hurt the lifespan of the LED components..

    What Would an Evangelical Christian Country Be Like

    Its gonna be a best seller. bongsmilie The story takes place about 25 years from now, after some faulty mRNA SV40 tainted technology ends up sterilizing 75% of the population... Tech advances (actually its already there, despite the ethical concerns) to the point that the artificial wombs are...

    Setting up dtw coco 2.5x5 tent

    Orbit manifolds that aren't "full flow" have more restriction in the adjustable ports than the free flowing versions. The adjustable 8 port ones like you originally got are designed to be hooked up to household water pressure, @ like 60+ psi. So, usually the smaller more restrictive ports...

    Lights

    $22+ per 19 watts.. thats over a dollar per watt for cheap Chinese non dimmable LEDS. I see now they are "full" spectrum, with clear tubes, but still.. Even with a bunch of them chained together into a bigger fixture like that, your still not really providing enough light per sq ft, and spending...

    Lights

    Those aren't very good at all. The tube blocks most of the output, which is already weak. I wouldn't even use them to grow seedlings or lettuce.. Check this deal out. 800 actual watts ( a 4 pack of 200w screw in bulbs) for less than $50, lol. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJBZK7LL?th=1

    What Would an Evangelical Christian Country Be Like

    If your grow operation was on fire, and you had less than one minute to save anything.. would you grab a few plants, or quickly grab your suitcase stash full of seeds? :eek:
