2k vert with water cooled cooltubes

Bodhi Roach · Nov 24, 2009

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

Id like to show you this system, its very similar to many here, but still offering a great addition to beat the heat, it allows me to go all year long, throughout the summer, while keeping my temps in the high 80's max.

This system is still in the dial in mode, on the 3rd show right now

I hope I can contribute some trial and error knowledge to keep up with the theme of improving the way we effectively and consistently grow quality product.

safety is a high priority with this setup
pond liner was expensive but I think it is worth it as long as the show can continue for a long time.

screwed into studs with countersunk holes in the 2x4 and 3" deck screws

LED light goes inside and above the window

3/4" plywood to block noise and prevent kick in of the window

These are the heart of the cooling system to keep the room sealed and to be able to utilize CO2, I will implement co2 on the next show, as I am still getting to know the strains,

3 iceboxes I bought off of ebay because I hate using CC to buy from an online hydro store and they were a helluv alot cheaper than $149 each and still cheaper than that other guy who also sells on ebay for $135 each. paypal rocks

shows the solonoid shut off valve

This guys iceboxes have brass ends instead of the copper ends that hydro inovations sells

2-24" cool tubes, I wouldnt hesitate to try 3-20" with 600w hps

sealed together with plates on each side and aluminum tape

hung to leave enough room for 90 deg. rigid ducting

testing an icebox for leaks before installation havent had any issues in 6 months

I think I prefer to veg horizontal

Damn dude

amazing set up, def will be tagging up on this one

Bodhi Roach · Nov 25, 2009

Well thats all for this 1st vertical show, she netted 3.75 dry
Thinking I need to white my floors, and build some type of panda to keep light inside the box, need to scrog somehow as well.

I used a salad spinner to manicure, it does a decent job but it hacks off alot of weight, I have about 1 pound wet trim that gets you really high, so salad spinning it all off isnt making any sense to me right now.

Please feel free to critisize, compliment, improve, suggest, as I would love to hear what you have to say.

Peace out bruthas and sistas

also curious. Really nice setup. Cant wait to see your numbers with CO2 and dialed in. Keep it up!

Many thanks! Great setup, love the clean-professionalism, and "picture says a 1000 words" photos. Great work. So inspiring!

What is the distance from the bulbs/tubes to the shelves, holding the plants?

Namaste

Hi Relentless, thanks for looking, went with 4 levels, 16 plants per level, aimed to have each plant about 22" tall after initial stretching. Veged about 21 days, started with flouros and moved to vertical and veged for 3 days under hps, used 3 gal pots, I was thinking smaller pots would be good, but its alot of work to water them all.

TY krunchbubble, your projects look uber, thanks for giving me a comparison to look at, I hope we can improve our systems by watching eachother.

Hi barnyard,

I bought Dutch passion, White widdow, Northern lights and Power plant all are 60-65 day strains, I wanted to see what type of indica would thrive in this type of system. The NL seems to be doing well.

Hi rock,

for the 4th run, I am going to go with NL only and co2, hoping to crack the 1gpw barrier. I think it will be met as I have now figured out the correct size plant to flip with. Thanks for watching

Hi resingoat,

I am going to white out the floor, hang panda film along the backs of the 4 walls, and possibly vscrog.

wish me luck
