Here we are Purple Kush in a fridge with one 400 hps light.
I had originally been vegging her under 6 x 42 watt cfl's at my old house(look at how close the nodes are to each other) until I had to move earlier this week, I stressed out all of the plants very severely, I was in the middle of moving and I had no where to store the plants during the move so there light schedule was seriously messed. They were unplugged from the air pump for about 6 hours or so, the only one that doesn't look like it is going to die is my 4 month old purple kush plant (the big one that I am focusing my pictures and my grow on. I have tried to transplant the remainding plants into grodan mini cubes. Pretty Ghetto, but what do you do when you are in a pinch right..
If the other plants survive I will be greatful.
So far the temps are staying at exactly 79 inside the fridge..
Any way back to the fridge.
I have been thinking of doing one for a few years I just never had a need to because I have always had a cold room that I had used to grow in. So I looked around for a few days for a fridge in the newspaper and on craigslist you know. I was on a mission to find me a fridge so that I did not have to throw or give away my 4 month old babies seeing how I was moving into a two bedroom apartment. No luck finding a fridge for the first two days and then I remembered that my uncle had a one year old fridge that crapped out on him and he just wanted it thrown out. So I called him up, went and smoked some of my last crop with him.. I took the fridge,
I started by removing everything from the fridge the compressor, all of the copper tubing and that radiator off the back, the interior lights, removing the freezer fan cover, but leaving the fan. When i was all done doing this i started cutting an opening from the freezer to the fridge with the saws-all and then what I did to separate the two from the heat of the 400 watt HPS was I took one of the shelves that just happened to be glass, and I stripped off the rack bars and fit it into the bottom of the freezer I was not worried about totally sealing the glass because my next step was taking a really powerful fan that I bought at walmart last year, that I have been using for the past few grows I cut a hole into the bottom of the fridge and placed the fan into the void. I sealed the area around the fan on the inside of the fridge to ensure a solid seal from the bottom intake fan was formed.., for the exhaust fan I just used the old freezer fan that was still functional.
I took out the radiator behind the fan to give me more of an air trap. I turned the fan around so it was blowing air towards the back of the freezer and re secured it to the same placement it was originally, minus the reverse fan placement. I simply drilled two, 2" holes at the back where the fan was blowing the hot air into the air trap, so that it could exhaust.
So far everything is going great, temperatures are 79 constant !!
We shall see an update on how everything is going in the next few days. in the meantime check out my signature for my previous grows !!
Enjoy the pictures below of the Fridge !!
