Topsy Turvy Fridge Grow/Clone Box

grow looks great buddy. what exactly did you do you that diy co2 generator?

In the big bottle mix 6 cups warm water with 2 cups of sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of yeast.
The second bottle filters the Co2 and also lets you monitor performance so you can see when you need to re-mix more.

CO2 works great if you have a good umol/m2/sec excess CO2 cant be process if the numbers dont match up, you could check how much you can add simply by increasing the amount to a poiny it doesn't do any better, then back down a bit so you know your plants are using all the CO2 you are delivering

Looking great mate cheers!!

This is gonna be a fun week.
The plants are really popping now.
I will TRY not to post another pic of the plants till the weekend.
Then we shall see a difference !
First week of 12/12 light.

 

[Fishywater]

Uhmmm, in the past 2 days, my PH has stabilized and now drifts VERY slowly upward.
Nice, I'll take it.
(I'll still check it like crazy for a few days)

 

[Fishywater]

Bubble bubble !
Time to ad back another gallon of water.
And I for got to add a little Aquashield last gallon.
Res has been great using it.
I have recorded quite a few days where the temp inside the cabinet was 86*

 

[Fishywater]

We are coming into cooler weather, but I am thinking ahead to the next crop.
I am thinking of using this as my res.
Koolatron P-25
12 volt and AC power adapter.

Any input from you all ???

Hey Fishy, that's hell of an idea! I'm going to look into it too!! And those coolers hold minimun 30L ! That's great +1 for de idea

The only thing i am worried about is the aerator produced bubbles really splash up on my lid.
Not sure the salts would be good if they intruded the cooling mechanism in the Koolatron lid.
I could maybe reduce the bubbling and create a multiple drip return hose in the res for more natural aeration as the water returning would drip through multiple holes and absorb O2 that way.
I got some time to think about it, but my res WILL be chilled next run !

 

[Fishywater]

When I take my res out for a nute change this weekend, I am gonna put a water level indicator on this end.

 

[Fishywater]

Well, today is day 6 of 12/12 light.
Tomorrow I change the res and it is time for the "early bloom" mix.
I get stoked to see the new results of big changes in nutes.
Maybe some pics later today ???

 

[Fishywater]

Just before lights on this AM.

Filling in nicely FW!!!

 

[Meison]

Wow really nice scrog Fishy!! How's the new cool rez idea going?

Thanks man !
Still thinking about that.
One would want to be sure that no splash hits the lid, or condensation on the lid.
I'm sure the salts would shorten the life of the cooling mechanism.
I am thinking I could cover the entire bottom with plastic.
It would be like a cold bubble in the res, cold is cold, right?

Still got some thinkin to do but I believe this might work !

 

[Fishywater]

This morning I did the res change and added the nute level indicator.
The top white line is 5 gallons.

 

[Fishywater]

Did a little more clean out underneath this afternoon.
Not exactly lollypopping but close.

 

[Fishywater]

OK, so today is day 7 of flower but I just started the "early flower" nute regimen this AM.
When should I start to see FLOWERS/hairs ???
