^ That sucks!!! What is the best county? I've never looked into it :roll: I mean I use Webasto FCF 16000 which is designed to be run in boats. I use water from the reservoir which is also feeding the lights. If you had a pool, you can cool it with that as well. Can't beat it since I got them...

With the lights being water cooled by the "radiators" (Ice Boxes) at each reflector, it keeps the heat signature of the light lower. This allows me to keep the light much closer to the plant... in other words... in a "normal" air cooled vent to atmosphere room... When air goes through the first...

I run the pump to the chiller 24/7.

Got pics of your setup? They are 8" ers. Thought long and hard about light movers... decided against them because of the weight. The 8" magnums are HEAVY, with the added weight of the water in the IB's. Because my lights are in sets of 4, the motor would have to move 4 at a time. There is...

LOL... great posts. sub'd

I will run at least 1 Frisian Dew, 2 critical mass hoping for a lady, 1 Big Budha Cheese and one G13 Raw Diesel. Everything else will be a local unknown strain that yields great and is mid to top shelf... I am undecided but may have one "The Church" and a Super Lemon Haze but not sure if those...

Thank you... Honestly, I hope to LOVE them and never go back, but something tells me I'm going to regret not going with a 5 ton water cooled AC and lights on a socket... Keep an eye on my posts and this thread as I will keep somewhat of a journal since there is no "real world" documentation on a...

Yes, it can act as an A/C; however, the limitation is how cold you can keep your water. The water will get hot as it "picks up" the heat from the bulbs. If the setup has a big enough chiller the hotter water returning a little warmer will get cooled off and the cycle repeats. If you can't keep...

24, but with the Supreme Court ruling giving us "no limit" I may do a SCROG. Most likely 24 on the first run. TY. A theory of mine says the airflow in the room will ride better this way. There should be a slight up draft in that part of the room as my carbon filters (mounted on the roof) pick...

Time to give back, after lurking for some time and adding a new name recently, here it is... P.S. Room is not finished and I will update as it progresses. Ask away:

The Agrowtek controller seems to be a decent automation and remote desktop options with monitoring and logging. Might be pricey to some, but maybe worth it to others. Not only can you control the stuff, but the historical logging lets you "see" what happened for the couple days you couldn't...

Any update? I was looking forward to your frisian dew review and final pics.

Thank you... yet another question explained... which in my case is more important to understand then to simply connect the white wire to the white wire. thanks again!

They both use the same "power". You're kilowatt hours used will remain the same. Your electric bill will be the same. What it saves on is AMP draw and if you wanted to run 100 of those "ballist" it would take 400 amps at 110, but only 200 amps at 220. Cheers!

Thank you!! I have done some more research and seem to have cleared up some of the "old school" advice I received on the the sub panel issue. I trust the person that told me a 3 wire feed would work fine and that he has seen many installed this way... This thread here...

A 4x9 would drain very little. I remember seeing a great thread on one of the forums where someone was measuring the amount of waste. If I get a chance I'll run it for 5 minutes and measure the water within the next week or two so I can tell you how much it uses. The are is about 10x's yours, I...

I thought about this and wondered how I came to the verry same concern you did. I concluded it was a marketing tactic from Hydro Innovations to get me to buy a Chill King. I run a 3HP JBJ Commercial Chiller. So far so good. Will it outlast a Chill King? I don't know, but I have warranty and as...

Let me clarify that they seem to have some modifications which I have not verified. The main one being an oxygen sensor for safety reasons. I recommend a carbon monoxide sensor as a secondary safety as well.... Carbon monoxide is what comes out of cars and will kill you. It is also released...

Thank you... The green wire in the sub panel is not connected to anything in the main panel yet. If I plan on running no more then 15-20 amps on 110 does the nuetral need to be a 2/0 wire as well? I've drawn on my picture an an attempt to ensure I understand the next step... Pic 1. 1.) The...
