Totally impressed with your grow and how systematic you are
I've tried to research water cooling cobs before, but came up with little else than a YouTube video of a single cob on a water block and lots of negativity to the idea. Thank you for proving the concept and reminding me that I'm nowhere near being structured enough to do it. Yet. You're an inspiration to us all. It's an accomplishment to make so many of us look so bad, and to do it with such grace. Will reread this whole thread later.

Peace

Awww thanks guys :)

When I was a kid I had all sorts of engineering plans. I would think up ways to make things. I remember drawing up plans to make a working Dalek suit aged 9. Then life just sorta took over... university, work, general day to day crap. With this grow room I kinda feel I've just been able to do my own thing again... just like being 10 except with the means to make things happen :)

I've started chopping down some of this grow today.

Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have taken the plants in one tent down. I'll try and have run #3 flowering and run #4 vegging by Sunday too.

I'm getting there slowly...

Added another 600w per tent today and did some fiddling with ventilation.

Here's a tent in flower mode:

And veg mode (I'm only planning on vegging for 1 week max once plants are moved into these tents from the dedicated veg area):

I now have 1800w of water cooled Citizen COBs per 8x4 tent operational. That's 3600w running through 180 COBs 8)

I've also installed a timelapse camera in the corner of one of the tents... If I can manage to keep it running for the whole grow I'll post up a vid :)

There's only one last thing to try Lofty..

Introducing the Siamese Algae Eater... a fish that eats algea
"It is a voracious eater and will consume not only algae from plants, glass and decorations, but leftover pellets, parboiled vegetables, flake food and live food...They require a large amount of living plants and plenty of room to explore and feed which makes a longer tank more desirable. Owners should keep the tank lid on since they can easily jump out."

lol, has anyone ever put live fish or shrimp to get rid of algea ? haha
I was so tempted to try that 100%but I got through my problem before I did
Couldn't imagine the fish would stay alive
