Hey man, nice setup. Very well built cabinet, props to you. I was wondering, what fans did you use to cool your "cooltube"? that looks absolutely perfect.

Thanks

I used some small 120V fans. They look like computer fans. They came in the cabinets.

Wow, I would never try to build anything out of fiber class. You must do car work.
If I could do it I'd be restoring my 74 Vett that needs a lot of it.

Glad to see you got your stuff, waiting to see the finish.

I'm calling about the Pepsi machine today.

Peace

Well.. had a hell of a time with fiberglass fabrication and scrapped the whole idea. Need a little more practice before I attempt to make my own trays.

Went out this morning and did find the trays and reservoirs I will be using. Also purchased the necessary hardware and will begin the Ebb and Flo system tomorrow.

Also finally found my timers so I will be able to finish off the wiring.

Purchased the pots I will be using for the system. Took the mothers and transplanted them to the new containers after flushing the Miracle Gro potting soil they were in with Clearex. I'm using Fox farms now, I think the miracle grow was burning them a bit.

They were pissed off after being flushed and transplanted. I was a little scared until I eventually saw them perk up a little.

The heater is actually facing the wall so it heats the cabinet and not the plants directly. Thanks for tagging along. Love to see some pics of your set-up.

Ahh.. I see that, I was just wondering your CFM per fan. I am looking at doing something similar but want to make sure I have enough air movement.

Not sure what they were. Going to get some more fans today, I'll let you know the CFM before I install. I can tell you they move plenty of air. The glass infront of the bulb is barely warm to the touch. Had I known it would have worked so well I would have gotten a 600W HPS.

Right now I only have an analog temperature controller that kicks the ventilation on when the temp gets to 75 deg. It works great but I'm having problems with my heater. It seems to kick on whenever it wants and sometimes at night it doesn't kick in. My thermometer recall function shows it getting as low as 53 deg at night.

I would like to get a thermostat and have it control vent fan when hot and heater when cold, but I have no idea how to wire that. I don't even know if the standard thermostat for a house would control a 120V plug.

To tell you the truth, I don't know for sure. I believe you start a thread under the "Grow Journals" forum and document your entire grow. You can post a link in your signature box so people can easilly look at your grow.

I'm going to start one when my mothers get ready for cloning and my box is done.

Yeah let me know if you get it figured out.

I had the analog temp controller from beermaking. When you ferment lager style beers, they need to be at around 45 degrees. I would just hook it up to a freezer that held my fermenting vessels and it worked great.

Ahh man, you should do it. You can get started for like $100. After the initial investment you can make 5 gallons for about $25. Were talking kine beer 6-8%, not 4% budweiser. Although you can tailor your recipes to make any kind of beer you like light or dark, strong or weak.

I'm about to brew a batch this weekend, I'll take some photos and put up a post in the "Toke and Talk" forum. Check it out.
