No idea. I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 and draining to my basement. All I worry about now is watering and trimming.
im looking to run about the same as the 3 tent area, 8x10 with a 2x4 drying cabinet. do you do the whole room or circulate through the tents.
I have a cardboard box set up behind the tents with my carbon filter inside it, and 4" ducting coming from the top of each tent into the box. Air goes tent -> 4" ducting -> large box under negative pressure -> carbon filter -> 6" centrifugal fan -> then exhausts into the room behind the tents. I leave it running 24/7 to get constant airflow and take care of the smell. There seems to be no difference in air quality between inside the tents and inside the room because it gets exchanged so fast.
I, too, was worried about heat buildup in the barrels. It seemed to me, at first glance, that there wouldn't be enough surface area presented to the earth for heat dissipation.
The buried loop idea could be extremely effective if the logistics could be worked out (how to assure that it NEVAR! ruptrures).

you should only need a 10% bleach solution im thinking, that should not hurt lines...
It was far less than 10%. It's a 55 gallon barrel and I only put about half a gallon of bleach in, and that was like 3 weeks ago when I set it up. Haven't touched it since.
Just got my latest gas bill, $22.37. Seems like it has nearly negligible costs, less than $10/mo. Close to $3/mo. Unless there is something i'm not factoring in here, but it's still 2 people living in the house and we didn't run any heat during june or beyond. Maybe we are using the oven and stove less because it's been so hot, but I think the water heater just uses almost no gas at all.
