THE GROW-FRIGERATOR
I started by removing everything from the fridge the compressor, all of the copper tubing and that radiator off the back, the interior lights, removing the freezer fan cover, but leaving the fan. When i was all done doing this i started cutting an opening from the freezer to the fridge with the saws-all and then what I did to separate the two from the heat of the 400 watt HPS was I took one of the shelves that just happened to be glass, and I stripped off the rack bars and fit it into the bottom of the freezer I was not worried about totally sealing the glass because my next step was taking a really powerful fan that I bought at walmart last year, that I have been using for the past few grows I cut a hole into the bottom of the fridge and placed the fan into the void. I sealed the area around the fan on the inside of the fridge to ensure a solid seal from the bottom intake fan was formed.., for the exhaust fan I just used the old freezer fan that was still functional.
I took out the radiator behind the fan to give me more of an air trap. I turned the fan around so it was blowing air towards the back of the freezer and re secured it to the same placement it was originally, minus the reverse fan placement. I simply drilled two, 2" holes at the back where the fan was blowing the hot air into the air trap, so that it could exhaust.
So far everything is going great, temperatures are 79 constant with the light on, and the temps can go lower if needed !!

I really like this idea I've seen a couple like it and I really want to do this one day :) do you use a filter? and do you use the fridge/freezer's cooling fan- in conjunction with a thermostat? is the top for vegging? what light is used in the top smaller section? is the 400w HPS set in the bottom half? lol, sorry for all the questions but this has alot of possibilities and I am very interested in it! - STELTHY:leaf:

There are definately alot of possibilities with this set-up.
I thought about cutting the door, but I use it for my spray bottle, and now more germinating seeds in jiffy pucks (15 of them).
These are for my outdoor grow this year, stay Tuned !!
I do have a filter on the intake so that I dont end up with a bunch of crap in my Grow-Frigerator.
The 400 WATT HPS light is placed in the freezer, and there is a piece of glass separating the two.
There are NO lights in the fridge.
There are also no functioning parts in the fridge aside from the freezer fan.
Everything else was gutted and recycled.

If you would like a full walkthrough on this grow, visit my current grow.

I accept with information: The alcohol collected in the cup will be of a higher percentage than what you started with and will be much cleaner than the reservoir but you may want to distill it again, after cleaning out the reservoir, to make it taste better and to raise the percentage of alcohol. After several reflux distillings we can take 40% vodka up to 60% or 70% - a higher percentage will take a more complex reflux device.

I just use it in the flower room which is 117 cubic feet or 4x4x7.5 or something close to that. Using this is veg too would just be too much yeast and sugar. If you are going to do this order a 5lb bag of yeast online or at least one pound don't try to do this by bying it at the store way expensive. Yeast is like 5 bucks a pound online though and a pound would last forever!!
