There ya go.
I got it right that time.
And wanted to say I do indeed love the windtunnel
My that is quiet and Strong.... should take care of any of that pesky
heat from the light. Now understand the benefit of such a fan when using CO2.
More and More I marvel At the Email Air. and how it
all works in conjunction with the needs of the room.

Can't waite to get the Flange yet shall be hard for to go 12/12
means the end of this part of the journey. Then again a whole
new adventure lay befor us.

SmokinGirl,

yes, vent means exhaust... but you will also need an intake.... and the reason it is ducted is because that is generally the best way to make a light baffle so that the flowering cycle stays dark.... as for a picture, check this thread out for a nice setup:

check out the GrowFAQ for all sorts of info on ventilation:

ok it rained really really good last night.
yep by golly got a LOT of beautiful rain water...
but............
don't have da bubbler of my dreams soooooooooo
trying to figure a way to store the best water
I can affordable get my hand on.
how about CAN it.
Looked all over never saw anyone else mention this.
So am asking. can one boil the rain water and Can it in
1/2 gallon canning jars and store in boxes for da dark.
and basement for the cool? I mean boiling rain water won't
change the ph would it?
as well would it be advisable to put a little peroxide in the
kettle before you transpher it to canning jars.
last question. would one have to sterilize the jars as in
food preperation.

Thoughts.....
Suggestions.... must be DYI only
recommendations.... Again must be household stuff ONLY

must watch the pennies still need more duct work.

I would not boil it. While boiling may remove some undesirable items, boiling will concentrate salts. You don't need the bubbler of your dreams, you just need a clean (preferably new) garbage bin and any old aerator (they have a bunch in the fish section at your local pet store) and an air stone.

I think a pet store aquarium aerator falls into the "must be household item" category since many households have aquariums. And I know a garbage bin qualifies.

Ultimately, I think long-term storage of rain water would cause it to become less than beautiful to the point you'd be better off using tap water.

all water contains salts/solids - that is what TDS meters measure (PPM/EC).

You can try the canning of the rain water - it shouldn't hurt to try. Just make sure and smell it very well before using.
And if you just bring the water to a boil and don't let it reduce - then the concentration will be minimal. Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is another very good idea. Yes it will kill beneficial bacterial but will also kill undesirable bacteria as well as oxygenating the water.

ok will try just 5 gallons.. could be a good experiment.
and yes shall smell.... ALWAYS with ANYTHING canned it is a good idea.
I go cook water BTW I am a FAST at canning.... shall treat it like a sugar substance
bring it to temp and lock it FAST.
thanks will let ya know if I end up with pond skum or usable water

well seeing as tho people make, sell and use rain harvesting barrels/systems

i wouldnt think storing it would be too bad, especially with systems they make to sit outside...

with that said i agree with email, i'd get an air pump/aerate the water and keep it in cool dark places...

That is good. got these At a food processing plant told em I wanted to store water so they gave me some with out nasty chemicals. said it
was a good idea and they wished more folks did it. would save them on
disposal costs. I am into Recycle, RECYCLE. RECYCLE!
Mr Blunts. if you were closer I would deliver some your way.

see, that is what makes this grow so enjoyable to watch (aside from Da Bunny).... ya'll don't play!

all i managed to do today is think about making a cistern :roll:

ok, in my own defense, i am plotting a real cement one underground... not because i just want to be cool and have one, but because i have been plotting a way to dig up my yard to put an underground grow in and not have the neighbors wonder :mrgreen:

this sounds like a perfect excuse to bring the backhoe in :twisted:
