growing....underwater

i think this would be the ultimate stealth grow think acres & acres of bud growing in a local innocent pond some day we may have to adapt!

lmao yall are retarted, just make a damn fishtank with a fishtank inside fill water between tanks and grow on the inside tank, if u want ur temp to be so perfect, really i think its a waste of time and effort lol

::sigh:: ...

why would someone invest so much time and effort into a crock pot theory ? just wondering, i mean you see all these other people growing great buds and their not doing it "underwater" so what makes you think that this is your only way to control temps? 3 words: Fan, and A/C. and your done, no need to construct this crazy water insulated grow box.... honestly where you really really high when you thought of this?

oh...well now I feel stupid but why do people get sunburned worse when they swim as opposed to just sitting on the beach? Does it magnify UV rays or something?

It may not magnify it, it might remove other aspects of the spectrum. Loose some of the IR that is diluting the light, then more UV gets through.

And there isn't a *true* magnify. Law of diminishing returns states that you can't get more energy out then put in. I know you are gonna mention a magnifying glass and burning ants in the backyard. Well what you are doing is taking the, say 20sq mm area on top of the glass and focusing down to .05 sq mm point. Thats a 40X power increase. But the area (19.5 sq mm) around it is at a rather diminished level.

Now back to the sun burn below the water surface... The top surface isn't perfectly flat. Once you get that curve with the water's natural optical index, you get a 'lens' Flatter the water, less focusing. But you also need to look at the amplitude of the 'waves' and see where the focal point is. (could be 30m down)

Just a thought.

I think the method of growing underwater would work. The reason I think this is because a couple grows ago when i germinated my seeds I left one seedling in the container of water that it was germinating in. I then put it inside the grow room and it continued to grow longer roots and leaves. Once i took it out of that environment and tried to plant it like the rest of the seeds it died. I used to have a pic in the pics section of RIU but as from what I can see there is no longer a pics section. at least not 1 that i can get to.

what about a 1 inch by 1 ft by 1 ft water "box" or wall to put in front of a light? and a curved bottom to refract it the right way?

Hopefully cool down the temps under it and refract the light semi-okay? haha

I have no idea, just thinking out loud and bored =P and wanna add some wood to the fire

Go smoke another one bro,,,lol

My compost tea brewer has plants growing under the water kinda strange

Places like Wal-mart use tubes of 72 degree water in the roofs and in the foundation of their newer stores to keep the temps down.

Maybe try a water-cooling system for a pc..... modified lol... oh wait..... haha

thats def possible, just the entire box needs to be covered in continuosly moving water, but i see this as def possible but quite costly and just a waste of time

Umm what about the fact that the water is going to wind up being ambient temp of the room that its in. You could chill it but unless your just doing it to do it i dont think its a very cost effective method. Cool as hell yeah, cheap no.

heat dissipates with moving water.

not a question of can it work. more of a, "how can i make it work?" every new endeavor has its own set of issues with its own set of solutions.

I think ya'll are looking at it bass-ackwards...instead of having the plant in a "water covered box/chamber" wouldn't it be easier to put the light in the box, kind of combine the two ideas as mentioned in the prior post...a aquarium in an aquarium and use some type of water cooler like in a computer to run the heated water thru a (big) radiator for cooling then back to the (big) res.

I'm guessing you would have to have a powerful light to be of any use to pass thru two panes of glass and maybe a half inch or inch of water between the two panes to be effective.

Someone design, build and test, then I'll buy LOL.
