Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

hmm maybe you should just collect it if you can in a tote or somethin ......doesnt your hallway get hot as hell?

yeah it gets hot, whats a tote?

Now I just gotta figure out how to hook this up...

I got 2 used IceBoxes, and a 1/4 hp chiller today, along with some other killer stuff... Thank You Craigs List kiss-ass

I'm told I need a regular pump (circulate) and a sump pump to lift the H2O.

I have this pump sitting in my tool shed, doing nothing but collecting dust. http://www.goulds-pump.net/goulds-SP025V.html

It looks like its a 1/4 HP pump... will I blow the fittings off the IceBox's with this thing? I can't find the GPH anywhere on the pump... Ok to use?

I have the instruction sheets from the IceBox, and they are vague about rez sizes and only show one pump in the diagrams...


This is the chiller I got

Hey Aero - nice score on CL!

I thought I replied to this earlier - and went to add something and could not find my post - I must have klutzy fingered it...

You are right - only one pump is necessary, but your 1/4 hp pump is too big. Good news is - something relatively small will work; 250 to 1000 GPH at 8 - 10 head feet... I think an EcoPlus 1056 or 633 would work well.

Start with a 40-50 gallon trash can for res, though your 1/4 chiller could support bigger. There is a sweet spot for chiller/res size for every application. In general, the largest body of water your chiller can effectively cool, will give the best performance.

You gotta post some pics for us... I want to use one of those IceBox's to cool my tent by hooking one up to a lower intake duct of the tent.

Thank God for this forum... and all the great people.


But problem keeps coming.

I have a wall AC unit i installed but it keeps leaking water all over the place.

why does it leak water and how do i stop it?

NHG... I found this page about A/C units & venting the heat out of the room. In your case out of the hallway... once you make the back box I'm sure it would be easy to make a drain for the water.

LOL I kinda thought it might be too much pressure, since it has 1 1/4" fittings

I like your other idea for cooling the tent with an icebox. Much cheaper to cool the water than using AC...

I'm on my way over for the trim party!

Ive had that happen before, its probably the cap. Run a beed of glue nice and thick around the outside of the cap ..that should stop the leak.

 

[chongers]

I've had my end caps leak too, so I turned my water off to that system for ~ 2 hours, removed offending end cap and re siliconed it. 2 hours seemed to be long enough for the goo too dry and the plants didn't notice

 

[dagobaker]

im thinking about putting my veg plants that are at 16 inches into 12/12 inside the veg unit for a week before going into the flowering unit and letting them finish a week sooner.....maybe 2 weeks before and finishing my widow in 6 weeks......how about this idea?.....i want to turn these over faster than ever
ive been using veg nutes the first 2 weeks and getting crazy growth......very good idea skunk

You should not be using the same amount of grow and bloom. If your are flowering you should more bloom than grow. Hope this helps.

If he does then I think I must have overlooked it.

PVC pipe glue..the same kind you use to glue everything together....I had it happen too..i just reglued the outside and it never leaked again.

[DIRTHAWKER]
