Twice per day. 8:20am-8:35am and then 4:20pm-4:35pm. Dont use my times as a reference, they may need work, that's just what it is set to right now. I'll probably reduce it down to 11-12 minutes soon per fill. Remember the times vary with your pump too, these times just work for how fast MINE fills it.

It'll say "Video is being processed" for the next half hour, then it'll load fine.
From the video quote: "Hi rollitup.org! This is a video of my vegitation grow room. Its a work in progress. There's still much to do, mounting the board for the power panel, tuck away ballasts, use permanant cables instead of extension cords, add a cool air intake, etc.... The tray that has water in it was draining while this was filmed. The smaller sprouts are about a week old from seeds, and then the ugly tray of larger plants scattered about was a bunch of randoms since the first grow wasnt expected to be much with trial and error.
You'll see the neatness and organization more on the sprout tray right now!"
enjoy

hey i got a question, everything looks nice and neat, i just recently put up a small flood table for top feeding, how often do you plan on flooding those rockwool? i ask this cus as you already know they retain a ton of water, i thought for flooding you needed a more airiable medium such as coco or clay, i usually see systems that use RW getting drip fed, bcus a RW block that has been soaked really good doesnt hold much oxygen

No RW is great for flooding. You just need to give them time to drink and time to ebb. I am flooding now in flower 6 times for 11 minutes. They are drinking alot and were started in flower with a 5 minute flood. Hope that helps.

why are you exhausting cold air OUT of your tent?
the icebox allows you to not only completely remove heat from 1000watters but in addition, it will cool your grow area.
seems to me you are wasting precious cold air you may need.
ORRR are you ducting that exhaust to another tent?

What are you mounting your light hangers with? It looked like those yoyos attach to another black support then on the cross bar but I couldn't tell. I just got hardware with mine that had no application for hanging in a tent (I still can't figure out what the eye bolts are for)
Thanks!!!
I'm flooding twice per day right now for 10 minutes to fill and then whatever time to drain after. It seems like it's OK so far. Why or how would I know when I would want to start flooding more or less per day? I thought that twice daily was the standard protocol so thats what I have it set to for now.
Remember this important disclaimer before I hammer out a paragraph! The water chiller setup is experimental, not working correctly right now, and still needs a few setup alterations. With that said, the way you work the chillers is by having your CAN filter fan with a Vortex fan blowing to the light #1, radiator #1, light #2, radiator #2, exhaust out of tent. Currently there's no cold air intake, its just sucking air through seams and pores in the tent. For that reason, until the cold air intake or some other changes occur, the setup works but it is not working *efficiently* where its cooler than using air cooling. I'll have a much more extensive water chiller setup article once I know wtf to do myself. There's literally 0 threads here about them too with any *useful* information. So, verdict is out, and I would always appreciate ANY input into making a setup better! Thanks.
The "yoyo" is a good word for them. You are correct -- they were an additional $10-$15 if memory serves right (for a two pack I think?). Just make sure they are the right ones for the weight of your light and you're good to go. I'm not sure what you refer to by eye bolts, if you have a photo that'd help!

I just reviewed your previous post and found out you are using a 1HP chiller, is that correct? That should be good for 4 lights with putting out cold air into the room or 8 lights with minimal cold air into the room.Thanks!!!

I am using liquid lumens which is a different type of water cooling system but the way the chiller systems work are the same. If you were to use a 100-150 gallon res. on a closed loop to your chiller with a higher flow rate than what is going to your lights. The flow rate to your lights should be pretty slow after you factor in your lift hight. This way there is maximum cooling ability. Also having them daisy chained isn't as efficient as having a manifold type system that will delivery water to each "ice box" individually, and then return to the res.
Having the water brought to the room in PVC where you can insulate it keeps it cool to the point where it breaks off to PEX tubing to go to "ice box".
It is a complete pain setting up a water cooled system but the payoff is well worth it. I hope this helps you out with your project looks more than fun that's for sure!!
