I replaced the 4x12 phresh filter with a new 4x8 phresh filter in the fridge and made a lot of space :) I also picked up a temperature controller and a 60W thermoelectric air-to-air cooling unit to experiment with. I'm powering it with a 12VDC, 15A power supply. The maximum draw is 7 amps, so my PS won't be working much at all.

I'm not sure how well the thermoelectric cooler will work, so this will be fun to mess with for the next couple weeks since I'm basically waiting until after my vacation before I start any more girls. If it looks like it might work, I'll even pick up a second cooling unit. I'm hoping to make more efficient use of my CO2, and kill all ventilation when gas is on. Right now, I have it so that 2 of 3 intake and exhaust fans turn off. So, my fridge slowly heats up over a 15 minute interval when gas is on and then cools back off (in ~1 min) for the next 15 mins when gas is off and all fans are on. If I can use the air to air cooler (or coolers?) to maintain the same rate of temperature rise with the intake fan off, then I'll be happy. If I can maintain stable temps with no intake or exhaust, I'll be super happy. Then I can just periodically vent the fridge for fresh air, and save lots of CO2.

Well, I've given up on the mini-fridge. I just ordered the Secret Jardin Dark Twin DR90T.

So, for the first time, eBay is not being my friend... I've bought a lot of stuff from ebay and I've never had any problems that weren't quickly fixed. The seller sent me a DR90 tent instead of the Twin, and we still haven't resolved it. They weren't happy because I opened it, but I didn't know it was the wrong shit until I put it together, lol. Oh well, worse things have happened. Also, as of an impulse buy this afternoon, I'm adding a BD-Micro light to the tent :)

I'm still smoking Tina, but it's almost all gone. For this reason, I really need to grow some bigger plants. I'll be starting in July...also a party-cup for the competition.

Damn you dont hang around! lol. did you make hash with the trim i hope?

Glad to see youre scrapping the fridge. Cool space (kill me now) but tent style space is soooo much easier to work in.

Haha SnotBoogie, yeah I like to get my smoke on. Daddy needs his medicine lol. I don't waste anything... I got a small batch of BHO out of the trimmings. I love that stuff so much....I think maybe too much though because I roast it up in no time at all. I love how you can smoke it in public and no one notices.

I can't wait to use the tent, I can stand in it. I might still use the fridge for a veg chamber, especially since it's looking more and more like I won't have the Twin tent.

Also, the light shipped today :blsmoke:

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! Going to post on my main thread soon, but I just wanted to give a blast from the past with this mini grow that I did. I'm actually using the minifridge again for a veg box :)

So, I have refurbished the mini-fridge with a liquid cooled 36V CXB3590 @2.1 Amps. Got the cooler for free (borrowed it from work)...the back of the minifridge is a rats nest, and I still am waiting for a two channel timer. It's still a work in progress, but it has temperature control, and a relay and a/c contactor combo to ensure that the driver is powered down if the power supply for the pump fails.
