Ttystikk's vertical goodness

[ttystikk]

Aloha Friend!

I read a couple of your old posts that mentioned you using water cooling to lower the temp in the space instead of A/C. Could you elaborate or point me in the direction to that method? Is it possible to apply the technique to a micro situation?

I built this janky thing way back when... Couldn't figure out how to cool the water back down after it went through the styrofoam rez, and I got sick of buying ice for a few hours of cooling, so I re purposed the fan.
Basically, what's the smallest available chiller around? I'm sure I could put something together

edit: how tf can I diy one of these??? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3743+30013&pcatid=30013&s=lh

This looks promising- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...gclid=CJnw-_DXocsCFc9ffgodQOgBug&gclsrc=aw.ds

Put a cpu water cooling radiator inside with the water lines coming out of it. I wonder the capacity..

Sorry for thread clutter! Your methods have inspired many ideas


Thanks

This isn't clutter. Talking about politics? Lol

Water cooling can be more efficient, let me noodle on your situation for a bit and see what I come up with. I'm not sure it's the best solution for your situation.

Hows this: www.overclockers.com/the-peltier-radiator/

Peltier sammiched in between two arctic alpine 11 heatsinks. Hot side has the fan cooling it, cold side is sealed to a water container. Water pump in the container with the input connected to one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011U5C62I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_lyY1wbVX7YBVY

I'll have the water block directly in contact with the cold sink in the water. The pump will suck the water in the container through the block and the output will be connected to the fan coil. The heated water comes back around to splash back into the rez to be cooled down again.

I could set a thermostat controller for the peltier part to only come on when the air being blown from the fan gets too warm.

I could even scrap the fan w/ coil and just have the cold water running through a cpu radiator with a fan connected. Small cooling capacity, small water rez, small fan, small space to cool.

I'll be sketching some designs later

Partying in Denver tonight! Cops have already been called! Having a great time, steaks, strip clubs, sex in the car, the whole fuckin SHEEEEbang mothafuckas!

It's about fucking time you had some fun lmfao

...and back to work. I grow too much MMJ to needlessly suffer thru a hangover.

 

[newgrower89]

Hangover? What's that? Lol

WTF? Next time you better send out a warning ahead of time.

Hey ttystikk, where do you get power potassium silicate? I can't seem to wind a cheap supply. Thanks.

I second that notion!

I'll hit you up next time, when I have more notice.

As much of a ruckus as we raised are you sure you want in? Might end up with a ticket!

There's a thread on here about nutes, let me link to it. Ask there and we'll both know! Or, just ask @MisterBlah

And the COB LED setup is running with plants in it! It's by no means complete but it's enough there to run and see how it works.

Congrats, this has been a long ride and investment but it'll pay off. Good luck, you should kill it once it's dialed in

Edit: Pics or it never happened

Thanks. Just found that thread and forum. Working through it now.

Woohoo.! Firing up the prototype. This is exciting to hear.

 

[zep_lover]

good luck!

This is both an exciting and scary time. I'm trying several new things together. If it were just one I wouldn't be nearly so anxious.

The light box we built is so bright with the lights on it's uncomfortable to look in there without sunglasses- and that's not looking at any COBs at all.

And so it begins;
Morning water temp 59, it will warm up into the mid 60s by lights out.
EC 1.9, high RH wants high nute strength
PH 5.3, will climb from here

Temperature set to 82f
RH in the 70s
CO2 1500ppm

Fuck yeah!! Love seeing those

I'm going to stay up for awhile to babysit and make sure nothing goes wrong for this first full day cycle.

@Vnsmkr it occurs to me that I'm spending a lot of fuckin time and money just to replicate the conditions on your patio!
