CAN I PLEASE CATCH A FREGGIN BREAK!! Finally have all things plumbed properly. . . . that was the set-back I mentioned in detail in my last post, what I failed to mention on account of simply being tired of thinking about the endless amount of fcukin cash I dump into this place....was the fact that my CO2 Genny which ran over 400 bucks (Hydro-Gen liquid cooled) crapped out on me as well. Here is a very helpful hint to anyone looking a using a waer cooled CO2 system. . ..THEY ARE A COMPLETE RIPOFF!!! I looked into alternatives, and if you google "tankless water heaters" you will find a nearly exact replica of the Hydro-Gen system for about $120, its the exact same concept and nearly the exact same design.
Anyway, got that swapped out, and Im thinking to myself....what else could there possibly be to go wrong...spoke too soon...
I am now on the SECOND brand new chiller unit that has required some sort of warranty return issue. I had a 1.5HP "Boyu" chiller (never buy direct from China off ebay please) and the thing was crap out of the box . . .came with a cord for a 120V outlet and the compressor is clearly labeled a 240V . . .after finally figuring that out by the process of elimination, I had it professionally hard-wired with the correct 240V source and wouldnt you know it....the fucking compressor is dead. So I did an emergency impulse purchase of a new Active-Aqua 1.0hp unit, and the things humming like a humming bird for about a week or so....then for some reason the fucking control panel (which includes all of three whole buttons) some how had the "Set" button crap out on me and it no longer feels like it gets that snappy press-button action (if you own one you know what Im talking about.)
well another 4 weeks in order to warranty that POS...so I am circumventing the internal controls and simply going to run the chiller as if it has two simple settings. . . .ON / OFF it will have its own temp probe managed by the Neptune Apex system, and wont fucking require me pulling it out of the spot where it lives because its a PAIN IN THE ASS! Im about to lose my cool with shit like this, but in all honesy there is nothing else I can possibly see happening aside from a natural disaster that will set me back any further.
Im almost to the point of taking new clones since these are so damn big now I am possibly going to run into height issues at the end of flower.
Im sorry for all the negativity in this post. . . I am thinking that I should provide some additional photos of the finished interior with the whole system set up in there just one more time before they are transplanted in there....Sound like a plan?? Im on it right now. ...
As far as smell goes . . .I am running a 12" Maxfan, for my exhaust through a big ass carbon filter but that is only for when the backup cooling system needs to kick on the exhaust....otherwise the room is effectively managed as a "sealed" system . . .if temps spike too high there is a filtered intake and a carbon filter for the exhaust but I dont expect that will need to be kicked on too often (triggered by peak levels in RH at night or temp during "day")
Ill be back with some pics shortly....you wont even recognize the gals!
