I believe they'd be right because a true digi needs no fans as they emit very little heat.

600W Lumateck Digi
Hortilux HPS
Daystar Hood (Not AC though) but with a 600 you'd be okay with minimal heat.

K you're right about these luma digis. They are pricey. I remember I bought my 400 for 189 but nearly 4years ago when I was all digi...

This is the cheapest 600 Luma I've found. http://www.growlightexpress.com/grow-light-ballasts-3/600-watt-ballasts-13/lumatek-600-watt-ballast-120-v-32.html
179 bro.

i think i found a 400w with hps hortilux bulb and hydrofarm cool tube for 289

 

[green_thumb...]

So i orderd the 400w lumatek i was thinking in my lil place 2-400w would be manageable on the wallet and maybe i can use the heat to warm the rest of the house lol.

[green_thumb...]

oh and this site rox...http://www.mdhydro.com/

 

[blunted skyline]

A good idea might be to purchase a hand pump, and manually drain out the water by just opening the lid enuff to get the thing down there, or cut a hole and cover it for when its not in use. The only problem is cleaning would be difficult, best wishes.

ebay baby!!!
234.98
Digi 600 w. 600HPS bulb and Cooled hood

Also from HTGSupply. Dude I live in the internet

SDG - I just recommended that exact same setup to a friend. haha. I love HTG. I've gotten all my stuff from them. Their customer service is AMAZING. I bought a $99 400w HPS...they were out of stock so they upgraded me to a $200 light for free. Then i did it again! It was like buy one get one free! I had some trouble with one of the bulbs...they sent me 2 replacements with no questions asked. I love that place, they are so cheap and so reliable. All my other local grow friends use them too. Can't say enough good stuff about HTG!

-Fifth.

PS - I find that their shipping on eBay is more than on their site.

are those ballast better than the lumatek?

what are you talking about vigilo no root rot here

I dunno...... that pic of the roots you showed earlier didn't look so good. The really light yellow in the new growth is what I usually get with root rot also.


DWC is a bitch for heat. Even with those insulated, reflective covered buckets you're going to run into root rot issues.

It will be a combination of the high temps and the lack of dissolved oxygen. The more pumps you have, the higher temps you can run. (to a point) You would do well to run your res into another area, other than your grow. Would be much easier to keep cool and you'd be able to run higher temps in the room without issues. (Sativas like 85F, DWC doesn't!)

Talking theory only (I grow in my res.) A separate res means water pumps. Water pumps mean heated water. The longer the distance, the bigger the pump, the more heat it puts in the water. Unless the other room is significantly cooler or has a chiller, I still see ice bottles (or summer shutdowns) in his future.

 

[green_thumb...]

yeah im gonna run the res outside of the cab,cooling is not an issue with 400w's gonna hang the panda in a minute here so ill post pix soon
