Hey ss, yea its great to find your still around sharin the knowledge. Did the masters site go down? I havent been able to get to the site, it says "servor error or site down for maintanence" Anyway good to see you.... I have a question. I have a 1/3hp JBl chiller. It cools my 50 gallon res at the moment. I was gonna do some upgrading down the road and modify it to also cool another 30 gallon res. So chiller res, (like yours) a 50 gallon res and a 30 gallon res. Do you think i will have any problems chillen all that with the 1/3 hp?

1/3 may struggle with that much. the one i have is made for large aquariums and i think this guy makes them. it has titanium cooler and works great, i can keep res at 60 all night.

Really? You are using a 1/2 hp chiller and chilling a 30 gallon chiller res, 3- 50 gallon flower res' a 30 gallon veg res and an icebox?

And you dont think a 1/3 hp will chill one 50 gallon flower and one 30 gallon veg? and of course the 30 gallon chiller res?

Its the best chiller money can buy with JBL...and its titanium also. I guess the only way to find out is to try ehh?

dirt, imust have misread you original post. it does sound like it should be ok that way. i am in the process of removing pumps from res's and going inline to help with temps. the 1056gph pumps do add more heat.

SS, you need to stop changing up the system... you are going inline with the pumps... I think its failry simple to pull off, but dam man, I just finished the veg roomwith the pump in rez...

also for the VEG REZ PUMP, if you had the choice between a 925 gph pump or a 1425 gph pump, which would you go with??

I have those 2 choices.. feel the 1425 will push too much, no?


so is a 1/4 hp chiller not enough to chill 3 50 gal rez' in the flower room?

i just want to get as efficient as possible, so inline pumps will save some. not a big deal, i just got some bulkheads yesterday and am working up a new manifold for chiller res. i say try the 925 pump. not sure on the 1/4 chiller, but i dont have enough exp with them.

i have been wanting to pick up a few 5gal igloo coolers, the sports type, and after returning a ton of unused pieces from finished projects to lowes i saw they had them on sale. $18 is a good price and when i opened it there was a cup dispensor for it. the 2" netpots fit perfect.

I haven't grown in a couple of years. Got a 4x4 tent with a 600 watt hps just sitting in the closet. I decided I might have to bring that girl out of retirement and start back up. So I stumbled upon the stinkbud setup. Took me a whole week to read the whole thing and by the end it was just so disappointing to see how it all worked out. Then out of nowhere I notice SS helping people out in the last few pages. So I had to come and take a peek at his thread and sure enough, you are still helping people and constantly improving the system. Even dirt chimed in. Sorry to just act like I know you guys but after a week of reading that thread I kinda feel like I do. Lol. Anyway long story short, I am thinking of setting up my tent. I have some cash so I can buy the few extras I will need immediately and then as I continue I can add more. I cant do co2 yet but hopefully by the end of my first grow I can. I will probably start to slowly build my units over the next month or two because I have to get some seeds. Ordered from the tude before and they were great but I saw a lot of people going off about sannie so I think I will give that a try. The chocolate rain looks awesome. While I wait for those to come I can get to work on my cloner and veg setup. Then after those the seeds pop I can get to work on my flower room which will be in the tent. Any suggestions for a 4x4 tent. I dont know how perpetual I can get in a space that small but any feedback would be appreciated. Should I just run the original plan scaled down to my room or do you have any updated suggestions to doing better. I tried the stinkbuddies site and it kept directing me to his harvestapound site. I read in the thread why but it seems like you guys really did improve upon the original. Thats why I am here.

Hey Holefiller, that's sounds funny;) lot of upgrades have been made to all the systems, you could buy Stinks book in which he took a lot of other peoples ideas including SS, and go with that or we will talk you thru it for free;) first thing on cloner and vegger is to go with the 27 gal tough box! Those are the ones SS has in his pictures! I have copied most of SS's ideas and adapted them to my needs, which is the cool thing about the system!

I plan on flowering in the tent. I have a small closet that I will be doing the cloning and vegging in. I dont have anything against dwc but my hope was to eventually buy a 10x5 tent to flower, and use my 4x4 to clone and veg. Then i could run 3 600 hps or 2 600 and 1 1000. over 3 systems. I saw the aero/dwc on stinks thread near the end. It looked promising and maybe even a little more forgiving. As far as buying the book, I dont really have a problem paying a few bucks for some info but I figured I would get a lot more help here then from reading a manual. So I will pick up a 27 gallon toughbox for cloning. Might as well knock out the cloner first anyway. I assume I should use the same thing for veg using the double tub setup? I only have one problem. The hood for my light isn't air cooled. I did run into temp problems in my last grow. Now in all fairness I didnt even have an exhaust fan. I was just running some lowryders, "forgive me for my blasphemy" and they actually turned out ok. Nothing great but not bad. Well I can afford to grab a fan and canister. Smell is a huge issue. I can not have the smell issues I did before. Stealth is an absolute must. My state is not mj friendly at all. Thats half the reason I don't post on here. Paranoia is a bitch. I have looked over dwc and I like it. Did any of you try the aero dwc setup? Was there any improvement in yeilds? Have any of you guys tried sannie seeds? Ok, enough questions for now. Thanks for getting back to me

smell is a major issue for me also. i am in a similar state it sounds. i use no odor control, a sealed room is all you need.

I did run a cloner with an air stone as a vegger to see what happened and it worked fine, not better, not worse!! If space is a problem you could get by with it. It is more of a pain in the ass though when it comes to adjusting ph and ppms because you can't get a mixer in it. Having the air stone does mix it though, just not as fast! The only thing would be that SS said Botanicare said not to use air stones with their products, so Im not sure?
