Forgive me, but I am recently new here and wasn't sure where best forum section would be best for this topic. I want everyone to see this if you grow indoors or are planning to in the future. Please pass it on to your friends as well.....Peace
I ran across some information that I real want to share with the growers here who might or may be having a difficult time being able to cool down their closest / stealth / tent / etc. grows. This is going to blow your mind and I promise - IT WORKS. I've seen it with my two eyes.
There's a lady whom my friend gets his medical cannabis from who grows indoors. She has been fighting to be able to cool her grow down since where we live, the sun doesn't show its self as much as where you may live and it's cold (VERY) all year round. The following is what solved the problem without even adding any electric costs. Understand something - where we are, it's not like you can just easily install a window air-condition unit. Plus the fact that it would stick out like a sore thumb since no one here needs to own an AC box. We have shutter vents that can be regulated by a thermostat.
They got the idea off the YouTube web which I have attached video shown below. Sorry I wasn't allowed to take any pics to share, but I will describe as best as possible. In the video they are using a 5 gallon bucket. Instead, she used a regular plastic ice cooler since they are already insulated. She would freeze 8 plastic one gallon water jugs placing four in the cooler a day and rotating the other four when needed, keeping four on hand at all times. Placing 4 jugs of frozen water in the cooler, she would pour half a gallon of water into the cooler around the jugs ( this turns the water cooler quicker but not to use too much water because it tends to melt the ice too fast ). The cooler will easily last 10 to 12 hrs blowing cold to cool air. She had no need of the swivel fan anymore because this cooler was now the fan for her plants. Even after the ice jugs had melted, this unit just circulated the cool air for a good while. I'm telling you, it's cool as hell. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The fan that was originally used to fan air on her plants is what she used to place/secured on top of cut out hole on cooler's lid. The fan's width was 10 inches across with the base removed for easy handling. Enjoy video and Peace to all........ I know, I write too DAM much... sorry (lol).
