I don't use the fridge idea, just put some comments up in that subject. I'm using a water cooler that I explained in an earlier post with pics. The cooler is only on 15min/hr with the lights on and 15 every 1.5 hrs in the dark. The temp dial on back is as low as it goes and the tank on the cooler has a thick blanket of white wall insulation as does the tub it's cooling. I could easily keep a 45gal drum chilled with similar insulation if I cranked it up. For $14 it's a hell of a deal.

I can't speak for everyone but I have a lot of fun coming up with a solution to a need then making it work. Since I was 4 and got a good whoopin' for taking my old man's alarm clock apart I've been taking stuff apart and fixing it much better than that alarm clock. I've worked in most trades for years each but never got tickets in any. Finally got a diploma in chemistry in my mid 30s that had a full year of uni level physics and math classes that went up to and included calculus.
Figuring out shit helps keep my mind sharp too. I'm 62, had a few minor strokes and not long ago found out my birth mother died after ten years of dementia at 75. Not going to go that way if you grok my meaning.
Stoners are smarter than you think so I doubt anyone is going to use a car radiator to run nutes through tho a nice new SS transmission cooler should be OK. Hmmm . . .
that u not what i am saying .......i was talking about the pics up above i sawl as i was scanning the string ......it looks like a stil worm in a mini frig
i am 37 with nothing to do but learn and work on subjects that keep me from coming up with other projects i should not really work on as it could be thought of as bad
distilling was fun and made good money ....the by product of it is natural co2 to dump in the grow room ( increase the buds weight and get sell able drink from the mash buckets)
i built in indoor electric stil ...so it could be run safe and under cover ........very proud of it
i know the cooling subject well .......it all breaks down to getting a unit building one is not worth the cost or the power bill it will cause
as for what u did almost 100% right .......u forgot tho about moisture build up what u have there is a mold breeding ground from the condensation water spills ....there is always a water barrier in place before they lay anything like that to avoid just that in the construction trade .......u want to remove that bleach wash the outside of it to kill anything go get foam board 1 inch thick build a box around it on 5 sides and then paint the top of the tote in flat white paint (rem to scar the lid so it does not flake)...now and then spray down the side with a 1bleach to 4 water part mix after while the bleach will make crystals and then u do not have to worry about it anymore anytime it gets wet for spores the crystals will go liquid and kill on contact
the big trouble for u now is the top as it is blue and i am not sure the mil thickness .......the light is still able to get direct exposure to the lid so it is absorbing some of the light waves heating it up above the air temp .....the other thing is the color it allows blue if the thickness is under 70mils it will allow light to pass into the roots and can cause algae and other bad micros to grow and effect your plants
i am not trying to be ass or anything i am just trying to pass the info on .......and as for smart shit i know but still for safety it should of and was said in case they are freaking and looking for any possible cheap answer or really stoned
jerry rigging is a way of life from where i come from .......now image a stoner with a iq well above normal but got cursed with bi polar ...the side effect of manic modes is hyper productivity with lack of attention span but the effect of thc and cbds counters the lvl of the manic and the lack of attention span .....i can not get super uber mega stoned it only makes me normal thanks to the natural chemical imbalance in my head .....it acts a lvling agent for me it keeps the depression from crippling me and the manic modes from getting to the point were i can really hurt alot of ppl just because i was bored and wanted to see if i could do it ..........this is how i am able to out smoke anymore flower or dabs they are getting fucked up i am getting normal
