Yes, 1000 watts each and we run a 10 inch hurricane pulling 1065 cfm's through 4 lights. Right now it's only cooling 3 of 4 and our exhaust is still cool.
nice, i have a s-line vortex like 360cfm on a dial-a-temp controller connected to my 400w hps and if let the air from the light into the tent (even with the fan speed as low as possible) it would bring my room to like 40 degrees and i have a hepa filter on it too and a 90 degree bend lol granted, I'm pulling air from the attic. I'm going to be getting 2 600w hps and id like to stick with the 6" fans so i hope the 360 could cool 2 600w hps but i might say fuck it is and get the 8" because idk how well the 360 would work in the summer

We always figure, the more the better when it comes to blowers, a/c unites etc. At one time, we had two window a/c units stacked one on top of the other to keep temps down. Looked funny from the out side of the house.

Closed room, no exhaust for the a/c. Our blowers have always come from out of the room and exhausted through the ceiling .(same as growing in a tent) Same set up was used for our new flower room. Never used a scrubber either. At times you could smell the house from the sidewalk. We do have one going into the new room.

I used CX's Wilt Guard to recover from pythium and got intrigued. I rooted clones next in water and Regen-A-Root and became a believer. Currently using Blue Planet's 3-part but I'm almost out. Are you still a big fan of the CX?

We are averaging 2 lbs per plant right now and only going up so I'm always going to be a fan of CX.

Dealt with a few stress issue's early, so didn't clean up the undergrowth like we'd like to have and wanted to wait to strip them down until the last few weeks.

Wouldn't complain if they were but they are not.. A little more like 16 oz soda bottles right now, but still have the vital weight adding weeks left to grow so there is still hope. lol
 
Looks great, yup we were getting 1.75 - 2.25 lbs a plant and that was in 13 gallon buckets. It was a pain having the roots clog up the 3" pvc all the time though in the RDWC we were running. Another problem we kept running into were runts. The fix for us was to run multiple plants in each spot so a runt wouldnt ruin a harvest. I was thinking about running those 27 gallon black totes from Costco but your cooler idea is nice. I run chillers to be safe but man, the coolers are worth the money I think. I'll still run at least a small chiller on each one though, not worth the risk IMHO. I bet those little micro chillers on Ebay that are good for like 12 gallon tanks would be perfect for these coolers, they only cost $86.

Great work by the way, keep it up!

We don't use anything for our temps. That's why I like the coolers, rated for holding ice/temp for 5 days. With a 5 gallon top off every day it's easy to keep it the same. They are also a one time buy.

With an adapter on the plug we made draining them a snap. Water changes and flushes take no time at all. Hook it up to a pump and open the valve. KIMG0514.jpg

Hello Rollitup, long time no seeds.

Changed a few things, but still running the same systems. Here's a pic's of what we've got going on now. Built a 24x32 grow house around a flower and veg room. Flowers almost finished and veg is getting close. Set up to run 8 1000 watt lights. Scrogs pictured are 4ft x 4ft. From left to right we have Cheese, Lemon and Sharksbreath all the way to the right. This pic was taken at the end of week 4. View attachment 3579276
That's one clean setup.
