had one of those hydro gen co2 burners and had a hell of alot of trouble with it, hope they got the problems ironed out with them. room looks damn str8 cat. cant wait to see it full of the # 4 and # 2 cut.

i dont think you will have any problem getting your humidiy up to where you want it.

Interesting thoughts on the mr slim units. I've never heard of many problems with them, though I have been told parts are labor aren't the easiest to get. If it's not too late you might want to stop your order FHC, and grab a friedrich. sylvane dot com has the heat pump model 18k in stock. I recommend them for a reason bro. As for draining or using your ac/dehumidifer waste water, i've used mine for many years without issue. Though I don't run aero, I have used it for RDWC, promix, and coco without any issue. Treat it the same as RO. As freds mentioned, just make sure your inerds are titanium. Up to you my man, i'm sure it will work out whatever you choose :biggrin:. Looking forward to big things this round :good:
 
Ya know, at this point im just gonna stick with the mitsubishi. The mitsus were my original first choice and highly recomended by Elvme and others. I i did try searching for a friedrich, but the delivery estimate was rediculous. (6 weeks).

I really think the mitsus are solid,,, but like you guys said "could be a problem finding parts" etc. I can deal with it.

As far as recycling the condensate waters... ive used my dehumi water for the last 3 years with no problems... ive never used AC water so couldnt comment.

Mitsubishi`s are the best sellers cuz they`re the most advertised and distributed to dealers.....and....

Wish yas nuthin but good luck Bro.....I never had the balls to run my a/c`s condensate lines back to my r/o tanks Mr D , but have heard on numerous occasions from many growbro`s they do.......but....

Here in Hell....nasty shit forms with the quickness , and EVERY condensate line in all my fllip rooms , including the big wallbangers in the lungrooms developed algae and slime from mega humidity , and had to be replaced every 6 months minimum....

I refused ta gamble on shit when I had big ass tanks and plenty r/o from 200 gpd filters...anyways.....

Over here on my bucket.....Freds...:ying:.....
 
I was planning on every res change running a low dose of h202 through the system for 12 hours and then adding the nutes + sm-90. Maybe that will help keep any harmfull bacterias in check.

Also, I have my ventilation system in place and hooked up my co2 generator. I did a test and set the co2 to 900 and closed the door with the scrubber fan/ circulating (sucking from the top through the filter down the ducting to floor level center ) That room is sealed tight! And the airflow is beautiful. The co2 shut off at 900 but continued to creep up to 1600. 6 hours later it was still hovering at 1000. nothing to absorb the co2 but happy with the results. Just waiting for my mini so i can get busy.

Hey what the fk over? I hope that AC showed up for ya and your just havin to much fun to type! ;)
I got moved, I am back, so you can proceed with the grow now! LOL...

BTW the new tweaks to the vert room look good bro!

Mailed 50 bucks to ICmag over a month ago so I could quit worrying about my damned post count, guess the mailman must have thought the 50 was for him!

~ I did get my seed order from 2 weeks before that though, so coulda been worse~

50 posts WOOOHOOOO, YAH BABEEEE!

I need to get a mitsubishi and C02 before the spring... I don't prefer exhausting outside but it's working for now....
Got an old head Growbro that couldn`t get away from his CO2 generator and sealed rooms , and I suggested lettin the shit empty out into the intakes of the flip rooms from outside in the designated lung area......and....

Even though shit was cyclin out twice per minute with major air exchange , CO2 ppm`s were still elevated and according to him did away with all his sealed room problems while gettin rid of airborn nasty ass molds and mildews formin from condensation left on the plants during lights off in late flower......

Many ways ta skin a mule......DHF.....:ying:......

DHF did your gro bro notice more consumtion of co2 ? reason im asking is im thinking of doing what you just suggested.

DHF wake the hell up,
:moon:.....Bite me old fart.....:biggrin:.....

Offshore in Antigua enjoyin the sun and surf free of charge for a month......

Glad my webstick `s workin wifi but it`sketchy , so I hope this post makes it.....

Made several in the last few days that went away, so......

Yeah.....CO2 levels increased to well over 900 ppms that`s as much gas as they can consume during lights on till they shit out what isn`t metabolized durin lights off , but....

When I talked him into leavin the heatgain outside his fliprooms and pumpin it in and out twice per minute , what happened was the lungroom filled with the gas accumulation and kept levels up in the 750-900 ppm range lights on/off continuous ftw.....and....

I`m gonna state this 1 more time.....My ambient CO2 levels in a major metro area in Hell stayed in the 750 range 24/7/365 and did my plants proud , but I was lucky with Smog conditions and constant ambient ranges across the board in the US are in the 450 ppm range.....so....that said....

Water cooled CO2 generators are the next best situation in low humidity locations inside the grow area.......

They keep excess heatgain and possible condensation from temp change ocurring , but JW......

It`s a solid application suckin the CO2 into the intakes and exhausting it twice per minute as long as yas figure out how long the generator hasta cycle on and off to provide constant elevated ppm`s.......anyways.....

Good luck and let us know how things happen to increase community knowledge ftw......

Peace.....Freds.......:ying:.......

well its about time, i thought i might pass on due to old age before i got a answer, what i have is a garage with a seperate flower room and alot of veg plants in the garage, i still have my senntinal co2 controller so keeping at 900 wont be a problem, what i want to do is get a natural gas burner as the water heater is in the garage also, run co2 in the whole garage, there is a swamp cooler inside the garage blowing into flower room and 3 8in fans cycling air out of flower room so all co2 will be pulled in and back out into garage, veg plants and flower plants will have added co2, as is without it im getting right at 350 to 420 ppm of co2, i have noticed my buds arent as nice as when i was running the sealed flower room with co2

With CO2 levels in the 750-900 ppm range 24/7 , nugs swell accordingly.......

ALL my old head med grower/caregiver bro`s that still run sealed rooms have FINALLY dropped their CO2 ppm`s to the 750-900 range and have seen no difference in yield OR finished product quality other than savin gas for the next run AND money from slingin 1500 ppm`s at em for many many yrs and swearin by their success.....but....

I stand by major air exchange twice per minute and always will , but if your nugs are sufferin in Low Humidity-Ville JW , then I `m tellin yas this is your way to up your game with CO2 supplement as well as gettin the swampcooler to up RH in the 70 percentile till end of stretch.....and then......

Turn the bitch off and not worry bout spendin the cash I did on dehueys that waste as much wattage/power as almost another setup in 3 stacked 600`s IF yas can control ambient temps till end of cycle without it.....anyways.....

Always tradeoff`s in different geographical locations.....Read my sig........Adapt or perish.....but.....

Don`t croak on us yet JW , we`re waitin fer some serious shit outta yer old ass........

Peace.....Freds.......:ying:......

Are you referring to the santa fe dehueys? I have the home depot model and i bet its a hog.
Santa Fe dehuey`s are the most energy efficient models available on the market Bro and burn waaaay less wattage than most smaller models like I ran......but....

They`re expensive..and.......Worth every fuckin penny and then some.......Yas get whatchas pay for in this `ol world , and skimpin out on cheap shit ta grow with pisses me off....

Problems persist when environment`s outta whack , gone wonky and sideways....

I ran 65 pint dehuey`s with the runoff run back to a holding tank , that I added back to my R/O tanks once I was sure the shit was sterile......but.....

Shit generally was all but 0 ppm`s , but I was concerned bout the sediment and ph bullshit I`d haveta deal with if I just recycled it......so...........

Put a powerhead pump ta stir shit up , and a bubbler in the cattle trough ta let the shit off gas any nasties before openin the gate valve and mixin it with the shit I made my juice with.......Can you say paranoid ?......

That`s me and always will be where I live.....On vacation away from retired vacation but ya`ll holler.......

If the puter`ll hookup and not lose my posts , all questions will be answered......so....

That said.....:moon:.......

Peace.....Freds.......:ying:......

you hit my humidity on the nose, its 72 % but it stays there pretty much all through flower as i run perpetual, im also doing major air exchange as you said but its coming out of flower room right back into veg area where its recooled by going through the swampper and back into flower room, with our hottest day so far this summer hitting 110 degree the hottest the flower room hit was 86 about a hr before lights off.

Love it when a plan comes together.........JW.....

Respect....Freds......:ying:......
 
Mini split is in the House! Im gonna be starting a new thread for the next grow now that im all sealed up. The system is all hooked up and ready...im running the system with H2O2 for 24 hours then the next batch will go in and the new log will begin.
