400w Digi Water Cooled/Chilled DWC Cabinet

EDIT Day 12 in flower...~34 from clone

Ok so I need to raise the lamp....but is this conventional thinking? If looking close in pic two you can see condensation...turning the chiller up to 65-68* and see if I can rid myself of the condensation as that is sure to increase humidity. But my ooooooo my, seeing the leaves and for that matter, kolas, less than an 1inch from the actual bulb is soooooo cool.

Having some lime green issues, added a cal/mag/sulfur dose and seems to have disappeared in new growth but will be watching next resi change due tomorrow/sat

End of three day flush ending week two and starting week three....was worried I wasnt seeing any crystals and the budsites were non-existent.

Only other problem seems to be the "bleaching" of some of the leaves...I wonder if the plant is TOO close to the light making it wanna bleach the leaves. I only say this cause I have seen plants go from inside to out and do the same thing.

Again raised the light and will be adding fresh RO and nutes tomorrow!

 

[pezoholic]

roots were much whiter before gnatrol....pic during change...need to raise the light again!


Also res temps back down to high 60*s to mid 70*s

i alway's enjoy a little bit of root porn lol,but anyway's plants are looking good.

 

[pezoholic]

gratzie! Man the last few days have finally been cool...MAJOR resin production (thank you god). Raised the light again!

A 6 site DWC, with a WATERCOOLED 400, in a stealth cab grow?? Holy shit just when you thought you had seen it all. Props on your grow regardless brother.. And yeah Mother Fuck HYDROTON.

 

[pezoholic]

lol stink finger thanks and yes i hate balls of any kind in my garden!

We are now in week 4 of flower....I would say about ~33 days.

Seeing some major resin production now and the nugs are SOOOOO dense it reminds me of my last grow (3KW HPS with bio-buckets).

You can see the bleached node on the one plant. Went crazy last nite with the organics here is my new list of goods

Added Oregon Organics Trinity, Extreme Serene and Ancient Amber along with Bud XL and Top Booster this week!

Enjoy!

I totally love your water cooled light! I am thrilled to get a good report on them. I've casually looked at them and kinda thought they were hype, but kept that opinion to myself. Glad I was proved wrong. Have you had any issues with plant leaves/buds bleaching due to being so close to the light? Doesn't look like they are bleaching at all.

The results you are getting with that water cooled light have truly given me hope to running larger and more lights than my measly 400w and 600w. Going to have to reconsider getting a larger tent now.

Rock on man, very lovely setup. Only, when I heard about your nute water temps it almost made me cry.

Peace

LOL Subarctic....

First off summer is over so those high temps are gone!! Running 64*-73*ish! Perfect!!! Roots are CRAZY huge, they displace over 2 gallons of water now HAHAHAH

A note about watercooled. Before I really got into doin shit crazy I was a hater on them too, once I got one from a close source I knew I had to try it since there is NO WAY to cool a 400w in that small of a cab. So why not I thought?

The nodes/buds/leaves that were touching the light about 2 weeks ago got bleached but they were literally less than 2" from a 430w HPS lamp OMG it was cool to see them touch the glass but not to see them get bleached. Sall good now. Top Booster added last night, should speed shift into flowering now especially with the BUD XL transporting all the sugars and starches from the leaves and stems to the flowers! Should be a GREAT WEEK! (hoping for about a 50% increase in flower size and more resin production)

censorship sucks!

Ventilation is fine in my opinion....the only time the temps were that bad was when it was 90+ outside which is RARE here. Anyway I have a mega huge hole in the left cover, passive about 9", think it's exchanging the air fairly well with me fan on the bottom. I feel goo pressure coming from it so I feel fine with it that way....if the temps go up I will figure something out but right now Im at 79* at the hottest and 69* at the highest, perfectly within the 15* range.

About the odor...I have an ONA Mist Time dispenser w/ ozium so Im fairly good there as well.

ooooo jiggga....week 4 has ended we are now into riping mode.

EC will be dropped to 1.3 and Shooting Powder sachts will be applied at full strength.

Gravity will be added
All additives continue


sampled the fruit of the exact mother.....needless to say it was the real hogsbreath, starting to turn purple in its last days. EXTREME trich production. Pics tomorrow will show the extend of fan leaves covered in trichs.

 

[pezoholic]

Extreme Serene was cut out do to fact it is kelp like gravity. EC after everything is 1.8-1.9ish. MMmmmmmmcant wait, this week, as well as each following week should get better by the day

 

[pezoholic]

halfway through week 5!

 

[pezoholic]

definitely added A LOT of girth to the buds over the last 3-4 days with the shooting powder. I am either going to drain the resi half way and add water PLUS Gravity and Purple max, or I am going to drain the whole thing friday night and run straight RO with floranectar, budswell, gravity and purple maxx.

Anyone have experience with either the gravity or purple maxx?

 

[petemoss]

pez, don't get the Ice Probe. Over the years I've seen many say that they are trash - not one good review. Only suitable for very small reservoirs. Plus, you need to buy an expensive thermostatic accessory to run them. They work on the Pelletier coil principle, whatever that is.

 

[pezoholic]

Thanks for the input pete....have you used one? I only have a 10 gali so I think it might be decent?!!? LMK for sure I have been scouring for some so that the summer doesnt disrupt the flow of precious flowers.

 

[petemoss]

pez, no I haven't used one myself. I used a Pacific Coast 1/10 hp chiller like you have for your lights. But I remember several threads on OG a few years back. nearly every one who bought one reported that it was too weak to drop temps more than a few degrees. I think you need to bring your DWC water temps at least ten degrees, say to 70F. Can you run nuted water through your light jacket? Maybe your chiller can cool both!

nice grow bruh. cant get to the hydro stage my self, just seems to be 2 much trouble for me, BUT kudos to you !
