I have a gas water heater and was wondering if i could tap into the exhaust and run it up to my grow room. Anyone tried this yet or is it a bad idea?

Better yet - tap into the gas line and connect it to your CO2 gen... far and away the cheapest solution over time - no more trips to the store - way safer than propane tanks in the house (FYI - I run propane)

So it would be hard for me to read the whole thread to see it this has already been asked but here goes.

Has anyone considered switching to a vertical grow to get these kinds of yields? I feel like this isnt even alot for yield as of this point.

Sounds great till the wife see's me drilling on a gas line, that'll shut her up;) But I will look into it, I'm just starting off right now. I may do co2 later just depends, but thanks for the help!

all electric house.......so no go......but i get a huge discount since i heat through electric and my bills can go crazy and no one notices......hell my bill this winter wasnt any more than the year before and i added 2000 watts of lights....they give off so much heat i dont need to heat the living room lol
anyone who questions the stink setup needs to rethink
his last yield was 27 oz off of 2000 watts...........do the math .......my bad math gets me at 1.2 ish grams per watt....... i know if he hits 23 oz its a gram per watt and he is over that .......how many can hit 1.2 grams per watt?............and is willing to help the masses

Anybody have trouble with the rubbermaid lids leaking/dripping down the side of the reservoir? I didn't have any issues until a week ago (I started my system March 20th) I've tried running a bead of silicone along the lid where it touches the tub, put sticky window insulation around the top, but I still get leaks. Any help would be appreciated.

I used pipe wrap tape... take a 2" roll, line it up so one side of the tape touches the rubbermaid. Most of the tape is towards the inside of the rez. Trim the rounded corners. Then when you put the lid on the tape provides the seal with the lid to stop the leaking.

I trim just enough of the tape on the outside holes to get the net pots in. Or if you are not using them leave the tape.

Hope this helps!

If you need a pic, let me know.

I found that the nutes build up under neath the lid. This is gully that gets filled with the nutes and water. Wipe that dry along with the top around the rubbermaid containers and you should be fine. I get leaks every couple of weeks. Simple cleaning of the lid and top of the tub always work for me.

I just order another ballast and reflector but it won't be here until the end of the week. Could I just move the veg unit out to the flower unit ( under the 600w HPS ) during the flower on time, just before the light turns off I move it too the clone/veg room to get another 6 extra hours of light to keep them in veg stage. Will that do until the end of the week?
The res is too big to move around every day. I would just go down to Wally's and pick up some $7 shop lights.

Grams per watt is interesting but not that important in the long run. Let me explain...

I just harvest 20oz. of the dankest bud you could ever imagine. I'm not sure what bud is worth in your area but around here the black market value is about $300 an ounce. Even though I don't sell it, that's what's it's worth.

20 X $300 = $6000 every three weeks. Adding a 1000W light will raise your power bill about $40.

I used to get a lot more popcorn buds on the lower branches with just 2-1000W lights. Since I added the 1000W MH virtually all the buds are dense and tight. The top buds are also much more dense and heavy.

Exactly why i am adding a 1000 watt mh soon. 4 600 watters covers the canopy great, but the amount of underdeveloped bud below will justify the price. But around here the electricity must be alot higher..i pay around $500 a month with 4 600 watters, ac, dehumi, houshold etc... adding a 1000 will jump me up to $600 a month... Now if i can figure out the best place to put it, it will need to be cooled, and its already pretty crowded in there with all the venting?
