Ok so what I did was get two heater cores from automobiles put one in a 6" to square duct I found at home depot. Attached it to light fixture then my can fan attached to the other side of the reflector. Ran hoses to an old fish aquarium I had and then ran the hoses into a old mini frig I had and hooked them up to another heater core and placed it by the fan in the mini frig. The price break down free stuff was the mini frig, can fan, hoses, and aquarium. The water pump 35 on amazon the radiators 15 for both on Amazon and the 6" to square duct 10 buck at home depot. So far the system is keeping the grow hut at 74 degrees. I have started with one sour diesel and two strawberry cough clones from the mmj club. Going to keep them under a T5 until they recover from the transplantation maybe until Friday then m 600 watter will take it from there. I will try my best to keep this updated weekly or at least every two weeks. enjoy the grow...

OK here are some updated pics. What we have here is one strawberry cough that I am LST growing and one strawberry cough that I'm going to top just to see which one is a better topping vs. LST. I also am LST the G13 and the Sour diesel. As far as the home made water cool system Its working great the only problem so far is after about 5 hours it starts to heat up I'm thinking its because I only have a 20 gallon tank right now. I got a 45 gallon trash can but it has a hole in the ottom. So tonight I will get a new 45-55 gallon trash can or maybe a barrel that should keep this home made water cool system working fine. At least I hope!!!
