A Medicinal Refrigerator

I'm on a mission too...I invented (plagiarized) a new humidifier. I made it out of a Cat Waterer, Sponges, 4" PVC and a fan. Nothing yet on humidity change but I just put it in and turned it on and closed it up. I'll give it an hour! or ooorrr

peace[/QUOTE]

yo JSGam can u post a pic of that DIY humidifier? sounds interesting

wha gwan?
Back again still peiceing together all the equipment I need for my first grow and I was just reading around the internet and I came across this web page with a refrigerator build set up. I was wondering wha all u professionals have to say about it. There's a pic that completely explains the set up ill try to up load k (newb) for those of us who dnt like reading. But here is the link

I don't have a pic of what I built but here is where I got the idea http://www.instructables.com/id/Evaporative-Humidifier/.

I didn't have the right size dish and my sponge was one of the bigger ones you would use to wash wall or windows with (4"x6"x2"). So use a bit of imagination. I have Water Dish filled up, a small sponge sitting in the watter, big sponge on top of little sponge to "wick" up the water. I taped a 120mm fan to the end of a 10" length of 4" PVC, set the other end of the PVC on the big sponge so that the airflow travels through the sponge. Taped the PVC to the water reservoir to keep it standing up.

Results: No help. My thinking is the sponge is too thick and the fan doesn't have enough static pressure to push air through a thick wet sponge. I just threw it all together in about 10 minutes so I'm gonna go back and use smaller sponges tonight. I'm sure it's gonna work because people are still looking at that link after two years.

Well my morning started off on a hell bent mission.
I've been saying I'm a cheap bastard for quite some time and I sure as hell was today. Harbor Freight got my hole saw set $10, one $4 timer and a chew toy for my Security Guard / Assistant / Dis-organizer The Restore was good for a $2 timer that runs down from 30 min. for the green light socket. I got some PVC fittings for $1 a piece compared to $4-6 from Lowes. I got a few extra in case mine didn't work out and duplicates can be returned. I stopped at Radio Shack for some Red & Green bulbs. That's a random idea I got while and I figure I got a while to figure it out.
I got back and got on it. The Green Light Timer is all hard wired & tested. I got the power strip mounted in the center (now I need one more timer) I started the lower Exhaust hole last night before I knew there were $10 hole saw sets and I started there. I was a good inch off and I'll make it work. The hole saws are not meant for metal and I tried my best but the metal won. I even dulled the shit out of the 4" one before I gave up. (Wonder if that counts on the lifetime warranty) It worked great for the inside plastic shell. I got the Cool Tube intake and exhaust in. I used the 4" hole saw and scraped the foam out then used it from the outside to mark the hole. Then I used a jigsaw and got the holes in good. I got the tubes in but need to work on a way to stiffer and tighten them. Thinking Gorilla glue. I'll have to ponder the lower hole and I'm yet to work out a intake for the chamber. Here's a pic of the girl I plan to put in here.
So I'll have a 4" PVC with a DIY carbon scrubber on the top and a fan in the place the compressor was. What fan would anyone advise? I was thinking a ducting booster but I'm still researching it.
Back after some more of this hair-brained project that I've been randomly thinking of for a LONG time. It's 4:20 so i gotta burn and ponder.

I'm guessing by the amount of feedback that idea was garbage?

I checked it out that's a lot of heat from a 400 or 250 It doesn't really show to much. I thought a 2 stage w/ mum/clone and flowering was too much to fit in. I want 1 maybe 2 plants. 6 hrs is a bit quick to decide it's garbage.
I got the 4" exhaust tube cut and a post about the lights to show if the Sun's up in there. It's on

Well here we go again. My hell bent mission continues.
I sold a mirror for $10 and an offer for $20 on a $40 terrarium on Craigslist, so off to Harbor Freight for a dremal to get this 4" hole cut. The flier from yesterday had it for $20, so I was too happy and baked to remember another timer. I got the thermometer for $20 at Target. I just need one more PVC piece but I have what I need for the Cool Tube exhaust. I laid a temp layer of alum. duct tape to keep the Gorilla glue from leaking.

good luck on this. i was about to build one of these but i didnt know where to place it to not look to suspicious. So i scratched it for now but still have the fridge! O yeah i love harbor freight!!! i buy the store when im there...lol

What is that PVC piping doing on the inside?

That is going to take up a lot of room, are you making a veg / flower thing out of it?

If not just have the exhaust rise and go out the top

I'm going for stealth and I can get a fan where the compressor was. Plus I already had the 4" PVC with 90 and the left-over piece to go to the fan. I'm only planning for 1 maybe 2 plants. maybe SCROG.
Daniels

I was think of getting some Dynamat to put on the inside walls to remove some of the fan noise myself and I have been using sold 4 inch vent tubing coming off the back of mine going up to an exhaust port in the roof of the garage

Looking good

And you are better off with the fan on the inside of the box, I think it will be much louder on the outside, test it out 1st and see what works best

I am liking this Daniels, a lot! But please wait on your cmh, I want to show you some info I already researched. But I am on my phone, and its pain full enough to post replies, let alone pull up research. I will post it for you tonight.

Yea no hurry. I have a HPS bulb and I want to see the temp difference to be able to tell how much less heat. I have some work to go. Then a bunch of testing.
I'm working the rear lower 4" hole w/ a dremel. I've been at it 1 hr and got 1/4 maybe 1/3. I needed a and a smoke before I re-attack.

You can buy 4 inch drill bits from Home Depot for like 20 dollars and they come out perfect

I have a wood/set look up above the one at Home Depot I saw was more like $28-34

sorry man, got busy, and got stoned, then got tired and got stoned again. i cant get the pdf I wanted to show you to upload, to big, cant shrink, bla, bla, bla...

i did get a pic of the difference in the energy output between the 3k vs 4k across the differant wavelengths of light

and some links to posts i did on what I found:

https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/277820-noob-advice-134.html#post4006568

so point being, the 150watt 4k produces the wider power spectrum than the 3k , similar to the bulbs riddleme refered, and they are all in the mastercolor family. these, however, have to run on a pulse start metal halide bulb. dont know if you knew that or not.

help this helps you make the right decision for you. i think with the power spectrum of the 4k, it somewhat compensates for the lesser lumens, thats why i am choosing it, when the time comes that is.

I got the Cool Tube rear in and I put the Cool Tube in and got pics. I have to finish the rest of the mounting gear so I'll get on that in the morning. I also got the 4" hole cut in, but I have to do some minor adjusting and cut the tube. I also got the reflector made and the first part of it's mounting figured out.
