FIRST RUN DONE.....YIELDED 201gs Time for run two with SCROG

Hello,

Have not posted shit since OG went down.

Setup:
Ikea Wardrobe measuring 20" Deep, 32" Wide and 64" High
One smaller camper fan and one tower fan laid sideways at the bottom
400w GGW Digi Ballast w/ 400w HX Blue for Veg and 430w HX HPS for flower
Fresca Sol Water Cooled Light
1/10hp Chiller with a 4 gal resi 250gph pump
10 gal Aeroflo Resi with six 3" net pots and silica stone (FUCK HYDROTON)
GH Dual Diaphragm Airpump w/ two medium round and one large airstone
ALL House and Garden Nutes (Aqua Flakes, Roots Excelurator, Multi Zyme,Top Booster, Bud XL, Drip Clean, Shooting Powder) Additives include; Budswell, Floranectar, Super Thrive, SM-90 (when not using Roots)
10 day weeks, 3 flush 7 with nutes
All Hogsbreath this run!

I have not seen ANYTHING like this anywhere else so I am doing it.

I basically have about 5 1/4 sq ft with 6 plants in a DWC and 400+ watts of light at all times.

Here is the beginning of week 4 Flowering! Look at the difference

above pic was taken at beginning of week 3....so about 20 days from clones.

Will have updated pic tonight, Im at day 3 of flowering so I switched bulbs and they are easily double the size of the above

Does it get incredibly hot in your place? or are you just trying to avoid larger fans???

I've looked into the watercooled lights, but just don't see putting 'em to use without running atleast a couple 1kw's....

Regardless, awesome lil' setup man...

pizzadude · 10-21-2008, 01:11 AM

that's definately a pimped out cabinet. so the chiller cools your res and light or just light?

pezoholic · 10-21-2008, 02:30 AM

The water cooled light is the only thing being chilled....cab get no hotter than 89* on a HOT day (95*) with the light providing a/c in a sense. No fans because in my opinion that kills the stealth grow and I needed it to be as stealth as possible (I do have two VERY quiet fans).

When it is REALLY hot here I have to worry about the resi temps..

Resi between 64.1-74.8*F (On the crazy hot days ~75-78*F)

BTW believe me no matter a 150w or a 1100w the water cooling allows the plants to touch the lamp massively increasing potential photosynthesis

Pretty stealthy. I was told that water cooled lights were hard to replace the bulbs? How hard is it to change them out? What do you do about smell?

pezoholic · 10-21-2008, 02:50 AM

bulbs are not hard to replace at all two screws and the bulb slid out of the middle of the fresca and bam....i will e thoroughly be cleaning each pane of glass before each run!

Mc__Nugget · 10-21-2008, 06:44 AM

light leaks arent very stealthy

pezoholic · 10-21-2008, 05:34 PM

Mc Nugget....thanks you for pointing out the OBVIOUS! A+ for you/GOOD EYE VISION.

The smell...ohh the wonderful smell....right now ONA is my best friend but no scrubber can fit or will be allowed by me since you need a fan to push through it so that is out. I am going to be sticking with an ONA mist dispenser and their bad ass BLOCKS

edit* was going to post a pic of the new SEALED cabinet but the phone isnt working right will have some pics up tonight!

pezoholic · 10-23-2008, 05:04 PM

vertical height was stopped with bushmaster (DONT USE THIS SHIT IN DWC!!!) Since it's Kelp everything got all slimy and shit, I hate that. Next time I will foliar with bushmaster...probably not gonna use purlemaxx or gravity for the same reason!

Almost done with week 1 flower, will get pics up at the weekend.
