Ok so here we go....
Equipment
Aeroflo 60 - using 3 tubes 15 cataract clones
Cyclone Chiller 1/4hp (titanium probe)
(2) 750 cfm fans
Grozone TV2 controller
Bluelab gardian
Raptor 8" Hood
Phantom digital ballast 1000w
Mh/hps bulbs
Xnutrients Advanced Program .70ppm
Ramco duel controller
Hydrologic Stealth Reverse Osmosis
General Hydroponics Air Pump (4 outlets)
(4) 4" air stones
16" AirKing Fan
12" Tornado fan
(3) bagged Co2 (1 in veg all 3 in flower)
Orca film 100' roll
55 gallon drum
Aapw1000 pump
General Hydroponics tnc 1/4hp pump
1/4hp Active Aqua chiller
Growers Edge temp & rh with remote sensors
11"x10" titanium heat exchanger with copper fins (food grade $675)
Need: 4.0 Lightrail
Started clones in the aeroflo 8/15 in rockwool and coco pebbles in gh net cups 3" using 3 tubes and 15 holes.
Nutes 67°
Ph 5.7
Ppm 630 (.70ppm)
Running 400 watts at 4.5' for 7 days increase to 600w and then to 1000w over 6 days start moving hood down 6" inches ever 3 days until 14" off canopy adjust with growth. (Wattage is approximate due to the phantom ballast being adjustable at 60% 75% and 100% of the stated 1000w)
I use exactly half of what the xnutrients feeding schedule says to, except for the calmag which I use at 4ml per gallon all the way through. Using only 25 gallons of RO water in nutes res since I change weekly this seemed to work well if I need to add, I just add RO water as needed and change when scheduled. (You'll see in pics that I use (6) 5 gallon water bottles to make changes faster and allow to get to an even temperature, the 6th is for topoff if needed, this works for me).
As you see im using water cooled growroom, well trying... Its been a pain in the ass- as its like going back to kindergarten lol. Used a portable 12,000 btu a/c last 2 times it wasn't right but after several modifications it worked decent but ran all the time due to a fkd up feature of cooling itself or something so in the seasons I had to run it, it ran pretty much 24/7. Wanting a sealed environment, I decided to go for water cooling cheap and allows for sealed room, although its a finicky litte SOB. So this will be a inside look at what im living trying to figure this water cooling out. I'll post pics, of the trials and tribulations of the life and times of a hobby grower. All, the way through, being a busy guy I will post once a week at least to keep you'll updated.
And as stated im a hobbyists and not a pro so if you've got something that you think might help by all means, let me know always open to learn.
Wow longer than I wanted, but tried to give a clear picture of what I've got go
