I think I will do the vertical 864 watt t5 grow with this run. The seeds are planted.

This is a laboratory facility, built for the express purpose of developing new techniques and technologies to grow plants indoors more efficiently.

My invention is working; the cloner is resting in a tub full of water, with a copper coil underneath it. Cold circuit water passes through the copper coil and cools the water in the tub, which then cools the cloner.

Why do you want your cloner water so cold?

68 might be a touch cold, I'm aiming for 71F. OTOH, excess cooling capacity isn't a bad thing!
The air temp is plenty warm, that might help.
Don't be raining on my party, I'm just thrilled it works!

Bravo, congrats------"it works."
I've had the same idea about you nute cooling design ------but never tried it.
If you did a cost analysis comparing your present design using one big chiller and the coils vs separate smaller chillers----if so, what you find out?
I've always had the best strike rate at ~75F.

Yes, a multitude of small chillers is far more expensive than one big one.
There are many reasons for this, all of which add up to saving money by reducing needed capacity, improving efficiency and/or reducing maintenance and repairs.
I can bore you to death with details, lol

I'm shooting for 71-75F, so now I can begin mitigating the excessive heat transfer, lol

Theres a few weed nerds up there killing it I believe. A friend or friend's I should say used to live in Palmer and there was quite a bit of herb around there.

Thats cool. I thought you were growing upside down. The cords of the lights gave it away that the pic was upside down. Very cool and inovative. Wish I had the room. I just need to maximise my room I have.

For cloning you should be aiming for 75..80. Use a few mils of bleach if your worried about pathogens.
