*** EDIT *** Found the answers to most of the questions early in your second grow journal. Only pending is your thoughts on the pool chiller vs Chill King.
Wow... 3 days of reading.
Congrats on your grow and I will def go read the second grow starting now...
Just one question, how did you water your plants? HAHA Just kidding!!!
Hey frenchy... any comments now?
As for cooling, I'm looking into the iceboxes too, but consider using this "pool chiller" instead of the overpriced ChillKings from innovative hydroponics. Any thoughts?

Two more question, why not go with the water cooled dehumidifier from hydro innovations?
I realize that you had bought the unit you are using now 1/2 way into your first grow and it prolly doesn't make financial sense, but thought I would ask in case you had other reasons too.
Any reason you aren't using the water cooled CO2 generator? Seems propane would be easier then refilling the bottle once a week. It claims 45cu ft per hour which should restore your CO2PPM with a 3 minute burn in your room if my noob to Co2 calculations are right.
Cheers!
