    Portable AC unit for 5x9 tent?

    Big Blue Ozonator will work much better than a Scrubber and easier to configure for cleaning exhaust air. Window banger AC will work much more efficiently than a portable as well.

    11' X 13' CMH/LED Lighting Questions

    DB I've seen you over on IC saying good things about the 860's as well. Thing is I want to get rid of air cooled hoods all together. All I have for OG hoods are Magnums and Blockbusters all of which are air cooled. From what I've witnessed on a commercial scale, 3 315's will outrun a single 860...

    11' X 13' CMH/LED Lighting Questions

    Veg is a separate 4' X 8' tent. Bloom is a dedicated 11' X 13' room. Oh I have checked out the Mau5 videos thoroughly which has created my interest in 3590's.

    Ballast keeps dying and powering itself back up?!?

    I agree to with bottletoke. You really need to get someone who knows the properties of lighting and electricity pretty well in there to look at this. If multiple ballasts are showing the same issue it'd be hard to think it's both of them with the same problem, allbeit possible.

    Ballast keeps dying and powering itself back up?!?

    Also if you must use an extension cord and 25 feet would work. Get that. As you increase the length of the extension cord, you increase the voltage drop. That drop is intensified as the gauge of the cord is smaller.

    Ballast keeps dying and powering itself back up?!?

    Can you explain "both ballasts", you made it sound like there was just one? Trouble shoot the issue by running the ballasts with no extension cord each on their own into a standard outlet and see if they repeat the problem. If this does not remedy the problem they're indeed cycling and as noted...

    Ballast keeps dying and powering itself back up?!?

    I'm guessing there's a drop in Voltage occurring due to the length of the extension cord. For 50' it would need to be 10 or 12 guage. "heavy duty" may only be 14 gauge. Before doing anything else, attempt to fix the issue with a 10 guage 50' extension cord.

    11' X 13' CMH/LED Lighting Questions

    Forgot to mention room is setup to allow for 240V service through a MLC 8 outlet controller that's wired to a 50A service. Room also has 5 dedicated standard lines within not including the ones for AC, Dehuey/Enviro controller.

    11' X 13' CMH/LED Lighting Questions

    So I have an 11' X 13' area within a 11' X 15' room that's currently lit with 5600W of air cooled HPS. 2 rows of (3) 600's and one row of (2) 1000's. It needs to go, it's a dying technology IMO. I'm having trouble designing a proper lighting scheme with CMH's and LED. LED is not a must to me but...

    I figured out in researching the Black Holes why it is you have that weird clear tubing over lapping the feed lines going into the Black Holes seen in your pictures. It's a bitch to find good black 1/4 ID tubing. Very easy to find that clear crap and use it as an overlap of standard 1/4 OD feed...

    Oh yea, how much of a bitch would it be to tap into the bottom of a standard blue 55 gal for that PVC outlet to pump? I'm debating whether it's worth it to plumb for Rez/Pump to be out of the room. But if they are out of the room I have no choice but to not tap into bottom of 55gal and instead...

    How often would you say the Drippers clog? And are the two filters pictured the only ones you use? I had planned to use one of those style in PVC and also one in each main poly lines that runs from the PVC, overkill? I edited cause I remembered you said not to worry about lines being same...

    Man those pictures are PERFECT bro! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I totally get it about not moving down in piping size and then going back up too. I just think using 1" PVC from Rez to pump then shorty after would be easier in my case rather than using 1.5" for the short length as you have. I couldn't...

    Can you show a pic of how the Poly lines link to the PVC in your system? Is there multiple poly lines hooking to the PVC which is what I assume or is it all circulated? My guess is you run a line for each row and plug or crimp each end? Also do you think using 1" PVC for all PVC portions would...

    Chillin I have two questions that are becoming hard to figure out. What are the benefits or disadvantages to both a closed and open loop manifold system? If the pump is strong enough does it really matter at all? Second, are flow compensating Drippers required? If 1/4 lines from manifold are...

    I'm seeing conflicting info regarding allowable res temp and ph fluctuation. In my history with Hydro (DWC and Ebb Buckets) rez temp had to be monitored closely. In other multi-feed DTW posts its outlined that anything under 75-76 assuming at least 2-3 feeds is an acceptable temp in DTW. In fact...

    Your setup is mastery! Seriously impressive! At this point I just need to buy the stuff and tinker around with it. Thank you for dealing with my newb-ness in regards to this stuff.

    When you say running zones, do you mean breaking the room off into sections off the same pump? Do you have a link or searchable term to find this exact pump? So your main-lines are PVC rather than the rubber tubing seen in Guerrillas? Actually in hindsight I remember seeing that in your pics...

    You had 320 ladies feeding off that one pump! Damn! I am quite sorry man but I have no clue what "key is going keeping...." sentence refers to at all. I literally feel like a dinosaur who's living in the Stone Age at this point. Also I have no idea what the next 2 sentences mean either...
