Co2+4000watts Liquid Lumens= Dankey Mc'Danksome

Without a chiller, a 100 gallon reservoir would be reasonably sufficient to keep their temps in line?

And I'm guessing I can't use my reservoir with nutes in it, as it would damage the light somehow?

Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work.

Thanks decided to try something other then air cooled for a change liking it a lot my self.

Ya 2 1000watts with a 100 gallon rez will be fine with out a chiller. What you could also do to save lots of money. Is buy a radiator from a car make sure its clean. Put 1 or 2 fans blowing on it and make the water run through it before it goes back into the rez. Works wonders and you could pick up a radiator from say a ford truck or something for much cheaper then a water chiller.

And no i wouldent suggest running the same rez your nuts are in it the glass on the lamps still heats up and you would get nasty build up on the glass it self. Also i put pool chlorine as suggested in the rez with the water used for the liquid lumens. To avoid ANY kind of parasite or what not growing in that. I actually stoped using chlorine cuz it started to eat away at the water fittings attached to the relfector it self. Bought Pythoff ( http://www.flairform.com/Products/pythoff.htm ) works just as well and dont have any problems with the fittinfs at all now. Hope all this helps. Happy Growing .

I did some research on this before i started investing money into this set up. And from all my research im gonna try looking up everything i found and post it soon. Well anyways from all my research since there's only bout 3/4 inch of water blocking the lumens on every 1000watt which is roughly 125000 lumens il be losing 3200 to 4000 lumens. Per so il still be getting roughly 121000. Also i can have the lights a LOT closer now to the plants a few inches with out getting bleaching. getting much nicer denser nugs now so was way worth sacrificing the few lumens. Happy Growing .

here they are!

first two are of some roots a few days ago. sorry i dont have any up to date ones as of yet.


the bananas trunk


g13 banana and kushberry


sour kush


matanuska thunder fuck


kushberry


G-13


banana


'98 bubba


some close ups of some clones



here they are guys, let me know what ya think

Just came back from a bday weekend snowboarding trip. Look at the turbo clone at all 40 clones and oh my god the Vitagrow root gel is amazing there is literally roots coming otu of EVERY spot this stuff touched when i diped them HIGHLY suggested. (http://www.horticulturesource.com/vi...6a1e24c9f4672c ) Happy Growing .

....i just came

lookin very nice man, props

Thanks, appreciate the feedback - sounds like mucho work and just one more thing that could leak for me - thinking I'll just stay with my air-cooled hoods and perhaps just get a portable A/C for the summer.

Grow looks great though, stoked to see this one.

Nice set up, I'm subscribed

Thank you all for the comments. Putting 35 clones into budding here soon so gonna have some nice update pics. Of the whole budding room with the liquid lumens and everything up and running. Excited for this one my self Happy Growing

sit back and relax this might take a minute.

first some roots;





the tops of those roots;







now the moms;
sour kush



matanuska thunder fuck



pre '98 Bubba kush



kushberry


G-13


banana kush


and this;


just thought it was cool. Anyways; if you would like any specific pictures, just let me know.
