    DIY Water reservoir chiller

    I think the way a peltier works to cool is that you need to exhaust the heat outside of your grow area. Like a wall or tent divides the cold side and hot side. If they are in the same space you are using watts which is energy (heat). To help dissipate more heat you could use a heat sink with a...

    Can I use existing duct work?

    That will work, just make sure you have it pointing the right way. If your going to use this system then it will seem like your furnace is always on no? Make sure you have a good carbon filter otherwise your whole house is going to smell like weed. I would also install a backdraft damper on your...

    Thank you for the reply. Isn't the CXB2530 only half as powerful as the CXA370 so would I need 2 x CXB2530? And use that same driver to drive both? Should I look into a dimmeable driver so I dont risk burning the tops if they get too close?

    Hey Supra! Lots of great info. I am a micro grower and I want to switch to some Cree CXB's. I know these only have a viewing angle of 115 degrees but do you think you could recommend a Cree setup for ONE plant in a box of 1'x1.5'x with one foot of growing height, scrog setup? I realize its not...

    Cool setup, however there are bad reviews for those LEDs online. @JimmyIndica My perpetual dresser setup in 40" wide x 18" long and 30" high with CFLs. I am not using it at the moment.

    how often do you flush in DWC???

    I like to put straight water into the buckets 10 days before harvest to flush them. At this time I pour a gallon of water through the hydroton from the top to try and wash out any salt buildup. Also scrub your buckets at this time to get out any salt and grudge so your roots are just getting...

    Finishing indoor plants already flowering off outside?

    Experiment complete! I ended up putting out 2 sour kush clones after vegging inside for one month and then on 12/12 for 3 weeks before I put them outside. I ended up with 3oz dried after 10 weeks of total flowering time, I could have got more if I left them indoors but I would have had a...

    Finishing indoor plants already flowering off outside?

    My lights are already at 12/12 for 2 weeks so they are starting to bud. I know what you mean with vegging for a long time you will see a couple pistils too in the upper branches. I also live in Canada so there is no way if I put them out Sept 21 they will get hit by frost and bad rain in...

    Finishing indoor plants already flowering off outside?

    Thanks for the replies. I dont think they will re-veg if I throw them outside first week of August because other years Ive grown they are already starting to show pistils by then if I plant outdoors in June. I am trying to minimize stress by leaving them in the 3 gallon buckets and I will...
