Thank you SS,

I honestly am a bit embarrassed to put you through the trouble.

I can only find 3/8 stainless pipe.. It would be a challenge to coil them myself... BUT I can pull it off if there is no other way..

hey, i did ice bottles for years before i got motivated and did the chiller. pick up a small freezer til your ready.

Hello all been following this thread for awhile sad to see everything that has gone on just getting started just popped my first seeds last week already have my stink bud extreme built just have to wait to get some clones to put in it using regular seeds and just got legal so the fun begins. Hope everyone will stick around and go forward.

something like this will work just fine.



here's the link on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Super-Efficient-25-Stainless-Steel-Wort-Chiller-/300358101173?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45eebce8b5). i've seen them for cheaper around but i din't feel like looking. that's around what i paid for mine anyway. you can usually get them in 3/8" 1/2" and 3/4".

hey folks been trawling this thread and i see people saying they run 6 sites instead of 14 now can any1 throw some pics up?

ive tried looking through this but gave up at page 45 odds lol

and do you veg longer if theres less plants?

my systems are 3 rails and total of 12 sites. new systems i am just starting are 3 rails and total 9 sites. i am putting a unit in flower tonight and will take some pics for you. i veg 25-30 days.

here is the 50gal, 3 rail, 12 site system. i have 3 of these and harvest 1 every 3 weeks. when completely assembled the manifold is secured and leak proof, just so no one points that out. this system has had 11-12 harvests and never replaced a part or had a leak. i just noticed in the pics the center rail and the rail on the right should be switched and the stagger pattern is more identifiable.

my last one sucked ass. i broke a plant and generally was a pissy bunch, but it was 28oz. last few before have averaged 40-42oz. next one due is looking real good.

man, SS,

I am literally in love with you right now.... as straight as I am...

Do you still go by the 3 week clone,veg,flower or do you do them a little longer ?

so what if I wrapped the wort chillers with clear adhesive wrap? would it solve the leaching issue?

SS, I don't see a drainage setup for your 3 rail. Did you just find no use for it?

I see the sprayer pvc has a Z towards the exit? WHy did you do that, and did you just use elbows?

Why did you put the wort chiller in the middle? do the extension get in the way of the plants?

Do you use 2" inch PVC for the return line, and a 2" Tee?

Whats the space between each rail?

Whats the space between each site, is it 12" or 15"?

Are the PVC posts, the original length, ( 56" I think)?

How much clearance did you give the frame above the container? Is it actually touching it?

This is actually a pretty good design.....its strong for the purpose..

if you only have copper available i would use it without coating it, thats even worse.

the drain is the 2"pvc pipe with slots that end of rail sits in. it has a t that goes in hole in lid of res.

they are 45* elbows, it lets rail sit to edge of rail
middle to cool res more even. the extensions are no biggie, my others i cut and rebent but forgot to on this one.
drain and t are 2"
between rails is 8" between plants is 12"
rails come 96", i cut to 46"
frame sits about 1/4" above res.
