Thats a 2 liter coke bottle by the way. I am running 4 x 1000w Hortilux HPS in 4 cool tubes that are vented from outside the flower room and ballast are outside the room also. Room is cooled by a duct tapped into my main central a/c and supplemental cooling from a 10K btu wall a/c which helps control humidity at the same time it cools. All sections run on 1 main resv and CO2 is supplemented from my natural gas hot water heater exhauste gases.

pretty...love the coke bottle for reference. what lighting u runnin?

I couldn't possibly know bro...

I have already started running heaters in my op...

the low outdoor yesterday was 36F... indoors it was 56F inside before I brought the heaters out...

pretty soon I'll fire up the house heaters though.. and things are good to about -30F.. then I have to start adding heaters again...

But if I ran an AC unit all year long like some of you I would certainly invest in a chiller... prolly a way overkill one with a HUGE res... so it would only have to run a little bit...

and seal the room.. and cool the lights as suggested by the icebox website... no ducting... everything right on the hood...

[LoudBlunts]

well i've already invest in some of the icebox equipment got one for the cab.... but im thinking i need to put the tent on one too.


cuz i think im about to run my 1k ballast 24/7 and just switch power to cab/tent reflectors every 12 hours using a timer.

i dont think i wanna keep running my a/c.

so i figure i might as well put both on iceboxes

 

[GypsyBush]

But I would deff go for a BIG WAY OVERKILL chiller...

I know they are not cheap...

but just like a big fan at a lower setting is more efficient than a small fan all out...

a bigger chiller with a thermostat will run for way less time and keep your temps ideal.. even on the hottest of days...

just my opinion...

I'd hate to get a 3/4 hp chiller and wish that I had a 1hp...

so just go for the big honking thing... and use it as ac for your house of need be..lol...

but I would do everything I could to loose the AC...

one of them gas co2 generators... and you're golden...

 

[LoudBlunts]

well i was thinking a 1/2 hp JBJ cuz they are 120v

and cheaper.

1/2 is what they sell for 2 icebox kit on the icehouse distribution site.


their 1hp is hella more expensive and im not sure if i want something like that hanging out my window, or whatever....what ya think?


plus i may have a basement soon....so thas another reason i didnt want an outside chiller like the chill king...

what ya think?

 

[GypsyBush]

I think that if that is what they sell with the kit,.. than you should deff upgrade...

They do their tests in optimum conditions with brand new stuff...

Go at least one size bigger than enough...

that is my opinion...

 

[LoudBlunts]

i wanna replace my co2 tanks with 2 mini co2 gens

but i aint balling like that

 

[grandpabear3]

what do the gas burner co2 gens cost?
and do they affect temp?

imma just get two of the smaller ones sooner or later cuz i havent figured out how to use one co2 gen with 2 environments. so imma try to get at least one in the next few weeks or so....maybe not til xmas http://www.watercooledgardens.com/product.php?productid=16176&cat=264&page=1


what is so cool about them is they are watercooled or can be watercooled....so heat isnt an issue. you can also put them outside the grow room and duct in the co2....

yo gypsy all the JBJ chillers i see for 1hp are 220v

i only have 120v


1/2 hp still not good enough?

i like my current jbj chiller 1/10.... thas why i wanna stick with jbj...quiet and energy efficient. they say the 1/2 cools 6k btus of heat or something like that.

i dont think ill be making even that much heat

 

[GypsyBush]

I don't use co2.. prolly never will... so I don't really keep up...

nice to see they have a better unit for a lower price now...

 

[GypsyBush]

I like 220v.. and I like "more power Scotty"...

why not just "make" a 220v line with 2x 110v
