love your stuff man. you inspired me to build my system. its a little ghetto compared to yours but it works. i dont have a chiller. Yet. had to stop all production due to personal problems. (wife)
things are back running now. had to start all over so nothing to show yet. but your grow inspired the pic below. i keep the res behind the wall. there is a window where winter air keeps res temps and room inline. have to invest in a AC unit or chiller for the summer. any pointers would be appreciated.

how much was your chiller?

this pic is of 2 plants just before the massacre, should have uprooted the old lady and not the plants. its bag seed. no more bagseed though. nirvana mix pack propagating now.

I got my chiller on ebay for about $400
but I haven't seen a deal like that lately.

I am going to use a window airconditioner this summer
and leave the chiller in the basement
with the other system.

If you build a home made chiller
you need to keep the nutrient solution
from coming into contact with any copper.

I am gonna use my Hillbilly chiller design,
just blowing cold air into my Space Shuttle rez and tubes.
I will replace the window fan with an A/C unit in the summer.


I like your torpedo design.

I'm not sold on the AN nutes
and that is why we are doing the nutrient challenge.

So don't buy them because of me.

I might be using the cheap stuff next time.

I wont buy a lot of nutes from any brand
until we know more.

I am probly quitting Connoisseur after this grow.

My test with the shoebox and the shuttle
are indicating
at the moment
that there is not enough difference for the $$$

Here is a list of the products I will keep using.

Dutch Master Reverse, Penetrator,and Liquid Light.
( I need to do a test,
but it seems the LL is working as advertised,
and that is my purely objective,
and not subjective observance,
since I have not done a comparison test)

I will probly continue with AN Sensizyme.
(I think the per dose cost is cheaper than hygrozyme.
and I have a 1/2 gl leftover)

I am using Fossil Fuel Humic acid,
since it was cheaper than AN's Grandma Engy's H1

I have a gallon of F1
and I haven't seen anything cheaper
so I will keep using that
unless I do find a cheaper alternative,
but you need to compare cost per dose
and not cost per gallon.

I tried Silica Blast and it is not as cost effective
to use for pH up
as AN Barricade.

It takes a lot more silica blast
to change the pH.

So I will continue to use Barricade.

I have a 1 gl tub of General Hydro pH UP
which will last me a life time.

I have a gallon of AN pH down
and that will last for years.

Thats all the additives that I plan to use from now on.

Now I need to find some base nutes.

AN SensiGrow and SensiBloom are working OK
but there might be something better
and I haven't tried enough other brands
to be a fair judge.

So after the nutrient challenge
I may be switching to our consensus winner
of who knows what.

20 growers and all are using different additives,
and several different,
but overlapping base nutes.

I don't want to lead anyone down a path
that I might not continue to follow.

We are gonna know more in another 6 months.

Look at the old farmers
and see what they are using.

arcinNsparkin is using Pure Blend Pro

I know nothing about it,
but his plants are pretty.

My Buddy Vic is using some Martha Stewart stuff
or somethin like that. ? ? ?
I never heard of it.
But he likes it
and I like his weed.


Damn there are so many ways to grow hydro.
I don't think I have it all down yet,
but I'm getting closer.....
at least we're not using dirt, microbe shit, and juice,
take that DB...
