chiller

Hey all. I’m curious to know about those of you that have built/ran RDWC setups and did not have a water chiller, yet were still able to have successful grows. Also, what arrangements did you make to keep your reservoir water temperatures cool in lieu of having a chiller? The idea of throwing...

Hello guys. This is my third run with RDWC, and now im paying more attention to details i haven't in the previous ones, like trying to keep my roots white. I choose sterile cause i made an automatic nutes feeding system with arduino and peristaltic pumps. So i just basically do nothing more...

I was wondering if I can attach the cool works ice probe chiller to a 3.5 gal dwc bucket without any leaks before I drilled a hole in bucket .

For those with a chiller ... I understand that a chiller sucks up the water from your reservoir, cools it and then the cooled water comes back into your res. But if nothing needs to be cooled for some days, there will be stagnant water in the tube and in the chiller. Does this never cause...

I have a couple questions: 1.) when you size your water chiller will be using a higher rated HP reduce the electricity used since the machine itself will have to work less. E.g. if I buy a 1/2 HP chiller over a 1/4 HP for 60 Gallons. 2.) if a chiller is listed with a maximum flow rate are you...

The following shots are from inside my first and only grow box. I scavenged an old 18"x18"x54" 4 drawer filing cabinet for the heart of the project. I spent about 4 months tinkering/building/converting it...I kept staring at it; thinking of more efficient ways to use it before I placed any...

So I am looking at ways to cool my nutrient reservoir. My ideal solution would create a snap-in water temperature regulator that simply uses a temperature probe, 110VAC outlet, and a pair of hoses to connect to any system. Here's what I've got planned so far.. * Controller $38 * Elements $17 *...

I have a small bar fridge that im thinking about using as a chiller in the summer for my dwc. Any thoughts or suggestions.....? Maybe putting a res and pump in or maybe a large coil of copper or hose curled up in the fridge that the solution is pumped through? Thought it might work in a...

I have a low pressure aero/nft grow going in a 4x8 tent and I have been getting some great results. I am about to ditch the tent for a larger space, but wanted to post about my success in the tent because contrary to popular belief, co2 can be successfully run in a tent, even on a budget. This...
